“…The way the variable time to proficiency was measured may have been biased by memory effects (cf. Sikkel, 1985). During the long average stay of the respondents in Singapore, it is not difficult to imagine that such a self-assessment could have been affected by the passing of time, especially for long-time resident expatriates among the respondents.…”

Purpose -Job engagement has attracted much attention recently. However, very little research distinguishes between how the context may affect different engagement dimensions differently. Based on a theory of resource exhaustion, the purpose of this paper is to focus on a cognitively demanding work context in order to explore variations in effect of different engagement dimension and different expatriate work outcomes. Design/methodology/approach -The authors use survey results from 102 expatriate academics in Singapore to study the relations between job engagement and expatriate work outcomes. Contrary to most studies, the authors examine physical, emotional, and cognitive engagement separately. Findings -The authors found that for expatriate academics, the different dimensions of job engagement have different relationships with work outcomes such that physical engagement and emotional engagement are positively associated with various work outcomes while cognitive engagement is negatively related or not associated at all with the same work outcomes. The authors explain the variation in results by drawing on recent developments in social cognitive neuroscience. Originality/value -This is one of the first empirical studies to examine job engagement in an international setting and the application of a social cognitive neuroscience provides a novel perspective. An engagement theory of resource exhaustion could enhance theory building as well as facilitate the understanding of the association between job engagement and work outcomes in varying contexts.

“…A class of models are discussed by Sikkel (1985) to correct for the memory effects in reported events, that can be described by a heterogeneous poisson process. In such models the memory effect may depend on the length of the time interval that has elapsed since the event until the moment of interview but also of the number of reported events within this interval.…”

“…Experiments with portable computers by Statistical Offices have been reported by the Swedish Census Bureau (Danieisson L. and Maarstad, 1982) and the Dutch Statistical Office (Bemelmans and Sikkel, 1985) in 1985 and 1986. Even though at that time the computers were still not really practical for this purpose, the Sociometric Research Foundation was experimenting with these procedures using Apple IIc computers and Kaypros in order to test the possibilities of more efficient measurement procedures for attitudes, evaluations and preferences.…”

“…These procedures are notorious for their imprecision due to misunderstanding of the questions (Belson 1981), forgotten information Bradburn, 1973, 1974;Sikkel, 1985) and the high nonresponse (Thornton et al, 1982). One example is the use of questionnaires which can be optically scanned and automatically transferred into a data file.…”

Al~lract, The technological development of main frame and mini computers over the last decades has had an enormous impact on social science and market research. These computers allow the analysis of large amounts of data as well as analyses which could not have been done in the past by sorting machines and calculators.The development of micro computers and other electronic technologies will affect data collection in a similar way. It will create new possibilities and will considerably reduce the amount of costs, research time and the number of people involved in the research effort. The advantages of these new procedures are not only the reduction in costs but also the possible improvement of the data quality. There is a tendency towards developing procedures for data collection which are fully automatic so that interviewers are no longer necessary. Such procedures are already in use. This paper discusses several of them.A side effect of these developments is the large amounts of data which are collected. Mostly these data are longitudinally collected. The amount of data collected in this way can be so large that new archival systems are necessary to store this information and to make quick retrieval for clients possible. Market research organizations can now offer completely new services.
