The claim that high levels of engagement can enhance organizational performance and individual well‐being has not previously been tested through a systematic review the evidence. To bring coherence to diffuse body literature on engagement, authors conducted synthesis narrative evidence involving 214 studies focused meaning, antecedents outcomes engagement. identified six distinct conceptualizations with field dominated by Utrecht Group's ‘work engagement’ construct measure, theorization...
Abstract This paper describes the architecture and implementation of an autonomous passenger vehicle designed to navigate using locally perceived information in preference potentially inaccurate or incomplete map data. The was handle original DARPA Urban Challenge requirements perceiving navigating a road network with segments defined by sparse waypoints. includes many heterogeneous sensors significant communications computation bandwidth capture process high‐resolution, high‐rate sensor...
This paper describes a new algorithm for cooperative and persistent simultaneous localization mapping (SLAM) using multiple robots. Recent pose graph representations have proven very successful single robot localization. Among these methods, incremental smoothing (iSAM) gives an exact solution to the SLAM problem by solving full nonlinear optimization in real-time. In this paper, we present novel extension iSAM facilitate online multi-robot based on graphs. Our main contribution is relative...
This paper considers how utilizing a model of job-related affect can be used to explain the processes through which perceived training and development influence employee retention. We applied Russell's core categorize four different forms work attitude, positioned these as mediators relationship between intention stay. Using data from 1191 employees across seven organizations, multilevel analyses found that job satisfaction, engagement change-related anxiety were significantly associated...
As an increasing number of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) employees are choosing to disclose their LGBT identity at work, it is important understand how organizations can best manage diversity in the workplace. Previous research has established that more likely derive benefits from working with supportive practices place. However, psychological mechanisms behind this process largely unknown. The present investigates value both disclosure authenticity work understanding why...
In this work, we propose the world's first closed-loop ML-based planning benchmark for autonomous driving. While there is a growing body of motion planners, lack established datasets and metrics has limited progress in area. Existing benchmarks vehicle prediction have focused on short-term forecasting, rather than long-term planning. This led previous works to use open-loop evaluation with L2-based metrics, which are not suitable fairly evaluating Our overcomes these limitations by...
There remains a significant knowledge gap in HRM regarding the inclusion of transgender (henceforth 'trans') workers. We examine and apply emerging concept allyship (a specific form active support advocacy for minority groups) to trans workers, doing so we advance new model intentions perceptions. test our across two studies. The first extends theorising on perceived diversity climate (PDIC) social dominance orientation (SDO) explain how non-trans workers can exhibit intentions. When were...
Current road safety initiatives are approaching the limit of their effectiveness in developed countries. A paradigm shift is needed to address preventable deaths thousands on our roads. Previous systems have focused one or two aspects driving: environmental sensing, vehicle dynamics driver monitoring. Our approach consider and as part a combined system, operating within environment. assistance system implemented that not only responsive environment driver's actions but also designed...
Predicting the motion of a driver's vehicle is crucial for advanced driving systems, enabling detection potential risks towards shared control between driver and automation systems. In this paper, we propose variational neural network approach that predicts future trajectory distributions based on multiple sensors.Our predictor generates both conditional distribution trajectories, as well confidence estimate different time horizons. Our allows us to handle inherently uncertain situations,...
There is an increasing need to understand the psychological processes that link personal development with employee engagement, particularly boundary conditions at which these occur. The current study sought meet this by testing whether perceived opportunities for are positively associated job engagement indirectly through experience of meaningfulness, and indirect relationship conditional on level line manager relations. Questionnaire data was collected from 152 UK workers a range...
Vehicle trajectory prediction is crucial for autonomous driving and advanced driver assistant systems. While existing approaches may sample from a predicted distribution of vehicle trajectories, they lack the ability to explore it - key evaluating safety planning verification perspective. In this work, we devise novel approach generating realistic diverse trajectories. We first extend generative adversarial network (GAN) framework with low-dimensional approximate semantic space, shape that...
Abstract Midway through the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge, MIT's robot “Talos” and Team Cornell's “Skynet” collided in a low‐speed accident. This accident was one of first collisions between full‐sized autonomous road vehicles. Fortunately, both vehicles went on to finish race collision thoroughly documented vehicle logs. collaborative study MIT Cornell traces confluence events that preceded examines its root causes. A summary robot–robot interactions during is presented. The logs from are used...
One long-standing challenge in robotics is the realization of mobile autonomous robots able to operate safely existing human workplaces a way that their presence accepted by occupants. We describe development multi-ton robotic forklift intended alongside personnel, handling palletized materials within existing, busy, semi-structured outdoor storage facilities. The system has three principal novel characteristics. first multimodal tablet enables supervisors use speech and pen-based gestures...
Background Recent studies have suggested engagement is linked with beneficial outcomes for individuals and organisations. Despite growing demand resources advice on within the NHS, there has been no systematic evaluation of how strategies can be developed operationalised NHS. Objectives research questions To evaluate evidence theories employee NHS general workforce to inform policy practice. Four focused definitions models engagement; links between staff morale performance; approaches...
The purpose of this study was to compare two engagement constructs (work and personal role engagement) with regard their relationship training perceptions work performance behaviours. It hypothesised that would show incremental validity above at predicting behaviours be a stronger mediator the relationships between such Questionnaire data were gathered from 304 full-time working adults in UK. As predicted, found explain additional variance for task proficiency, adaptability, proactivity...
This article presents the findings of a field intervention study that sought to address two objectives: (a) what are psychological effects meaningfulness intervention? and (b) key issues should be considered when developing interventions? Eighty employees from three different organizations based in UK were allocated either condition or wait-list control group. Compared against group, facilitated in/at work, job/organization engagement, personal initiative. Finally, focus group interviews...
Why does becoming more aware of yourself and your wider work environment enable you to experience greater meaningful work? Drawing upon mindfulness-to-meaning interpersonal sensemaking theories, we argue that in a state awareness individuals are cognitively flexible able interpret relevant cues ways them their as meaningful. Study 1 is quantitative diary study over period six weeks tests the state-level relationships between awareness, cognitive flexibility, work. We find is, directly...
The world of work over the past 3 years has been characterized by a great reset due to COVID-19 pandemic, giving an even more central role scholarly discussions ethics and future work. Such have potential inform whether, when, which is viewed experienced as meaningful. Yet, thus far, debates concerning ethics, meaningful work, largely pursued separate trajectories. Not only bridging these research spheres important for advancement field study but doing so can potentially organizations...
Abstract The extant literature on authentic leadership (AL) has neglected to consider how the experience of AL may be particularly challenging for minoritized leaders. This research advances knowledge by contextualizing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) leaders who represent a unique group. Using qualitative data from 23 LGBT individuals in various positions, we examine, via an abductive approach, they try enact within their role. Our first contribution, developed through...
How do women negotiate and express authenticity in professional contexts where their presence identities are largely rendered (in)visible? We draw on intersectional invisibility as our conceptual lens to explore how early career researchers subjectively given prevailing conditions of visibility, hypervisibility at work. Based semi-structured interviews with recipients the Organisation for Women Science from Developing Countries (OWSD)-Elsevier award, we illuminate (in)visible shape...
