“…These results are also consistent with previous literature (Cotti et al, 2016;Aragón et al, 2014;Camps and Luna-Aroca, 2012). In brief, there is substantial literature examining the relationship between various conceptualizations of motivation as mediator in performance (Peterson and Meissel, 2015). The result of fourth mediating variable, interpersonal influence is also in lined with previous researches (Aktan and Chao, 2016;Ogbonnaya and Valizade, 2016).…”

The objective of this research article is to examine the role of Pakistan's pharmaceutical industry in job creation opportunities, with the sacred intention to eradicate poverty, and expansion in economic activities. This research is quantitative in nature, and the data is directly gathered through closed-ended questionnaires from 300 respondents. Besides predictors', four mediating variables have also been taken into consideration that contribute indirectly in job creation opportunities. Bootstrapping and Normal theory methods have been employed in order to examine the impact of predictors' and mediating variables. The result of this research confirmed that pharmaceutical industry plays a vital role in job creation in Pakistan. It is further concluded that the pharmaceutical industry has a direct and significant impact in job creation by providing indigenous and direct job opportunities in sales, marketing, and other supporting departments for both skilled and unskilled workers. Pharmaceutical industry also provides indirect job opportunities through other industries, which are very much linked with this industry, such as: pharmaceutical distributors, dealers, retailers, wholesalers, hotel industry, and event management industry. It is also determined that pharmaceutical industry is acting like knowledge and skills imparting institutions. Therefore, skilled-based training and organizational learning are major mediating variables that transform unskilled people into human assets, which further trigger the future job prospects. Since pharmaceutical industry is one of the biggest industries in Pakistan, providing plenteous opportunities of new jobs with consistent growth. Thus, mediating variables such as motivation and interpersonal influence also preceded an active role in new job creation.

“…The intuitive type tends to involve imagination, understanding, metaphor, rhythm, instant reaction, attitudes and emotions. However, the analytical type tends to organize and process information and messages in a detailed manner; at the same time, it is characterized by precise thinking, logical reasoning, structured problem-solving and methodical approach (Allinson and Hayes, 1996; Peterson and Meissel, 2015). The role that cognitive styles play in knowledge creation varies (Peterson and Meissel, 2015).…”

“…Knowledge creation is a multidimensional issue that is primarily linked with strategy (Kim et al , 2014), leadership (von Krogh et al , 2012), culture (Chen and Fong, 2015), cognitive behavior (Luse et al , 2013; Aggarwal and Woolley, 2013; Peterson and Meissel, 2015), creation task (Kao et al , 2011; Andersen, 2014; Wu et al , 2015; Uy et al , 2015) and technology (Canzano and Grimaldi, 2012; Zhang et al , 2015) (Table I). Its outcomes are derived from the mutual agitation and conversion of tacit knowledge and explicit knowledge (Nonaka and Takeuchi, 1995); hence, knowledge creation is influenced by intrinsic traits (e.g.…”

Purpose This paper aims to examine the role of the creation task–technology fit (CTTF) in the knowledge creation performance (KCP). The creation task features represented by goal-driven, goal-free and goal-frame modes (GDM, GFM and GRM) and information and communication technology (ICT) supportive features are considered. The moderation effect of cognitive style represented by analytical and intuitive styles is explored. Contributions and implications are addressed. Design/methodology/approach The literature review on creation task, ICT, cognitive behavior and fit theory, and the research gap with respect to the antecedents of KCP are presented. The research arguments are then hypothesized and the research model developed to describe that the proposed role is examined empirically. Findings Research findings are obtained on the basis of the data analysis of 258 valid subjects from research institutes as well as manufacturing and service industries. The effect of CTTF on creation outcomes is significantly confirmed. The ICT supportive functions are unlikely significantly related to CTTF for the analysis-styled group, but the intuition-styled group shows a likely significance because of the different means of dealing with information and knowledge processing. The analysis-styled group disagrees with the significant link of the GDM with CTTF, whereas the intuition-styled group presents the significant effects of GDM, GFM and GRM on CTTF. Originality/value The unique features of knowledge creation differentiate it from other tasks. With respect to whether the knowledge creation task presented by goal is defined or not, and how ICT better suits the creation task features to benefit the creation outcomes are yet to be discussed. The individual cognitive style is confirmed to alternate the effect of ICT and GDM on CTTF in the proposed model. The research findings are particularly obvious because a transition gap, less covered by the literature, might exist with regard to the perception connection of knowledge creation service providers, agencies, consultants and context creators.

“…The final score is computed as the ratio between the two, indicating in which test, the participant performed better and to what extent. This ratio allows the CSA to be value-free [ 63 ] because it does not report the overall performance. Unfortunately, the CSA displays serious reliability issues [ 62 , 64 , 65 ], perhaps due to the lack of discrimination between the holistic and analytic performances tests.…”

Unkept promises of cognitive styles: A new look at old measurements

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Cognitive style is thought to be a stable marker of one’s way to approach mental operations. While of wide interest over the last decades, its operationalization remains a challenge. The literature indicates that cognitive styles assessed via i) questionnaires are predicted by personality and ii) performance tests (e.g., Group Embedded Figures Test; GEFT) are related to general intelligence. In the first study, we tested the psychometric relationship between the Cognitive Style Index questionnaire (CSI) and personality inventories (NEO Five Factor Inventory; NEO-FFI, HEXACO Personality Inventory Revised; HEXACO-PI-R). In the second study, we assessed the CSI, NEO-FFI, GEFT and a general intelligence test (Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices Test; RSMT). We found that CSI scores were largely predicted by personality and that CSI was uncorrelated with GEFT performance. Instead, better performance on the GEFT was associated with better performance on the RSMT. We conclude that i) cognitive style questionnaires overlap with personality inventories, ii) cognitive style performance tests do not measure cognitive styles and should not be used as such and iii) the cognitive style concept needs to be assessed with alternative measurement types. We discuss possible future directions.
