Listening cannot be overemphasized since it is a vital skill in terms of the four language arts, language learning, and language teaching. The strategies that MICE-major university students might like are explored for their listening comprehension. Moreover, the research revealed the type of listening comprehension test item that could be difficult for students and indicated the difficulty that students might have in comprehending the test item so as to find some good strategies to overcome the difficulties. Furthermore, the classification of listening comprehension test items will conform to that of educational objectives of cognitive domain based on Bloom's (1974) taxonomies of educational learning [5]. Based on the findings, MICE-major university students will review their learning process and ask for more listening practice and strategic guidance in the hope that such activities will improve their listening comprehension and solve their listening difficulties, so that language teachers will create a win-win opportunity to double-check instructional deficiencies and offer supplementary aids. The qualitative research was conducted through a semi-structure interview. Based on academic performance, subjects recruited in this study were included 24 MICE-major students, 12 of whom were chosen as HPL students while the other 12 as LPL ones at National Kaohsiung University of Hospitality and Tourism in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. The instruments used in this study included the simulated listening comprehension test of the Intermediate Level of the GEPT, and listening comprehension strategy questionnaire designed by the researchers. The pedagogical implication of research results will help ESP teachers to enhance their MICE-major university students' listening comprehension in their oral communication as required at work.

Knowledge sharing is about sharing relevant task (skills, experiences) among team members or with other people and making the shared knowledge reusable. Hence, the objective of this study was to assess the current status and factors affecting knowledge sharing practices among health professionals in Hiwot Fana Specialize University Hospital in Ethiopia. A Cross-sectional research method with questionnaire was employed for the study. The sample size was 152 categories of health professionals that were: 46 nurses, 18 doctors, 15 radiologists, 26 laboratory technologists, 22 health officers and 26 pharmacists; selected from a population of 268 professionals in the hospital. The sampling technique was stratified simple random sampling. The results showed that the current status of Knowledge Sharing practices by all categories of health professionals was 'high' in areas such as: formal training programs and workshops to share knowledge (3.43); individuals' pleasure to share their know-how, information, working experience and knowledge to colleagues voluntarily (3.81); individuals' pleasure to share freely information and knowledge that improves the hospital performance (4.00) and colleagues awareness of the importance of knowledge sharing in the hospital (3.90). Knowledge sharing was 'very low' based on the non-availability of motivational scheme in the hospital to motivate knowledge sharing (1.74) but 'low' on staffs feeling of motivation to share knowledge in the hospital (2.44). However, there were factors that affected knowledge sharing practices, which included: lack of willingness by colleagues to share their information with other colleagues at all times; lack of awareness on the importance of knowledge sharing in the day- to- day work and lack of intrinsic motivation that staff would gain new ideas, technologies skills or techniques by sharing knowledge. The study concludes that there were variations in the opinions of the categories of health professionals on the current status and factors affecting knowledge sharing practices in the hospital.

This study analyses changes in non-family employees' psychodynamics during the family business succession process. Based on the main principles of human psychodynamics and from a non-family employee's perspective, this study examines how changes implemented in a family business succession influence the daily interaction between family owners and non-family employees. The study has been implemented using qualitative research methods and analysis of reached information was analysed by hermeneutic analysis. Based on case study approach this study has found that employees can influence the planning and the implementation of succession but are not actually the direct participants in this process, which is reserved primarily for the new owner/successor. It is important for the employees' psychodynamic process that they are given information about the succession and the information they are given is acted upon in the manner in which it was originally described. If non-family employees can express their thoughts and possibly influence the implementation of changes, that could lead to an improvement of their overall psychodynamic balance as it relates to the family business. The psychodynamic balance affects the employees work well-being and motivation. If employees are given information that differs greatly from the actions that are implemented within the family business that increases the need to balance the psychodynamic process and further decreases the employees sense of work wellbeing and motivation.

This is an act ive and progressive program. Quality Knowledge Community (QKC) is organized by a group of members of Chinese Society for Quality (CSQ) voluntarily. The reason why we call QKC a virtual organization is that it is an informal organization in CSQ; it has no obligation for anybody; its members come from different educational levels, experience, age, job position, geographic; it was stem from QCRG which was a seminar group that had been active for more than 30 years. We have seminars twice a month. In addit ion, we communicate on various kinds of knowledge websites . Firstly, we clarify our v isions, goals and strategies, then we utilize technology roadmap to develop short-term, medium-term and long-term plan of QKC, we name it “QKC Roadmap 2016~2024”. We deploy annual plan referring to the roadmap and check it quarterly, and then we build a living mechanis m to assure “QKC Roadmap 2016~2024” running effectively, we call it “A Time Stamped PDCA”. Through the Internet informat ion trend, we can also collect valuable in formation based on our own cognition, and then attach new interpretations and meanings to establish a communication and operation platform for innovation and quality management knowledge to identify these documented information and knowledge that improve the quality of life, product quality, service quality, environmental quality, and human quality for global Chinese and people from worldwide who agree with CSQ / QKC to share and apply. This is the new interpretation of CSQ / QKC, the platform of curat ion era for professional quality knowledge. This article tries to depict how QKC can operate such kind of virtual organization from the stage of forming, storming, norming, to performing.

This paper reports a quantitative study of psychological contract between employees and employers in the telecommunications industry in Hong Kong, and the relationships between the psychological contract, work behaviour and turnover intention. Previous research in the telecommunications industry in Hong Kong has focused mainly on consumer protection and telecommunications market competition, and research has seldom been done on the human resources issues in this industry. This research investigates the informal relationship between employees and employers in the telecommunications industry in Hong Kong. A quantitative research methodology was used in this research by surveying employees. A total of 227 valid responses were received, and the data was analysed by Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results found that the psychological contract has a significant relationship with work behaviour and turnover intention. The psychological contract is a better means of explaining turnover intention than work behaviour. Business managers can leverage this finding to develop better plans and approaches to deal with work behaviour and turnover intention issues. The outcomes also provide empirical evidence to validate the psychological contract inventory developed by Rousseau [1]. This research contributes to the development of human resource theory and practice.

In an increasingly competitive environment, suppliers are now seen as an important source of innovation. Long-term partnerships enable companies to access the knowledge of suppliers to optimize their business. "Procurement 4.0" is one of the concepts that come to the fore when talking about digitalization of business processes. The major aim of this research is to discuss a conceptual model of "Procurement 4.0" and its potential to rethink the management of supplier relationships, which will be one of the main future tasks of procurement. The paper is based on a factual-analytical research approach that serves to continuously specify and supplement the elements of the frame of reference: Two challenging concepts, "Procurement 4.0" and Supplier Relationship Management, are merged to contribute to the fact that purchasing is indispensable as an "interface" within a global supply chain to reap the benefits of digitization. The factors that prove to be obstacles to digital supplier relationship management along the digital supplier journey e.g. lack of guidelines, approaches or tools and a lack of understanding of the importance of long-term relationships are reflected within the identified technologies of digital transformation. A comprehensive analysis of the given situation within digital supplier relationship management in Germany is provided. The most important digital supplier touchpoints are discussed in order to develop a traditional supplier relationship towards a digital relationship management. Thus, this paper succeeds in illustrating how the innovative concept of a supplier journey can be implemented in practice to counteract the future, entrepreneurial challenges.

The dynamic growth of the payment card market and the increase in the number of non-cash transactions is a global trend in payments. In most developed countries of the world, cashless payments have been displacing cash. One non-cash-payment instrument are payment cards, the use of which requires development of an infrastructure that allows cashless payments. The most important components of such infrastructure are ATMs and the points of sale (POS) enabling payment card transactions. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of the rising pay in China on various characteristics of the payment card market as well as to estimate forecasts of these significant variables representing the Chinese payment card market. A hypothesis is formulated that the increase in the citizens' wealth, expressed by the dynamically rising pay, has impact on the significant development of the payment card market in China. The tool used to analyze the mechanisms of the payment card market infrastructure will be an adequate econometric model consisting of many stochastic equations. The equation will be of a recursive-system nature. Consequently, forecasting from this model will be done using a chain technique. The rising pay in China stimulates the dynamic development of the payment card market. The number of these cards and their use for cashless transactions have been increasing in particular. Cashless card payments in China are currently at a relatively low level. To increase the intensity of such payments, new institutional solutions are required, especially of an economic nature, encouraging the payment card holders to carry out non-cash transactions.

To achieve simultaneous, worldwide high quality assurance and other global production developments, today's task is to maintain high reliability in production facilities and operations. In response to the increasing expansion of overseas plants, it is necessary to improve and maintain highly accurate production equipment and operations through the development of intelligence operators. The authors have clarified Advanced TPS as a global production technology and management model designed to realize high quality assurance in global production. Manufacturing throughput (Throughput) is oriented toward the reduction of time required by the manufacturing process, so that the profitability can be increased. Therefore, the authors have recognized the operational availability a key indicator in order to evaluate the throughput. This paper will introduce a new operational availability model to identify 1) the development of throughput to link the impact from one step to following step and 2) the contribution of each factors and each step for manufacturing process to pinpoint the bottleneck of the throughput. With improvement to these bottlenecks, the business will be successful while minimizing cost. The effectiveness of this system has been verified at the Toyota USA.
