empowerment behaviour and job insecurity (n=171). Cronbach Alpha coefficients are calculated
to give an indication of the reliability of the measuring instruments. ANOVA, T-tests and Pearson
Product –moment correlation are the statistical methods used to obtain the empirical results.
Regression analysis was carried out to determine the extent to which leader empowering
behaviour and psychological empowerment predict job insecurity. Although there is a significant
correlation between psychological empowerment and leader empowerment behaviour, there is no
significant correlation between psychological empowerment and leadership empowerment in
relation to job insecurity.
2063.181 The relationship between job insecurity, job satisfaction and organisational commitment
of workers in a mining industry, Victor Rannona, Johanna Hendrina Buitendach, North-West
University (Vaal trianlge Campus), South Africa
The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between job insecurity, job
satisfaction and organisational commitment. A cross-section survey design was used. Structural
equation modeling (SEM) was used to address the problems associated with this design. A random
sample (n=12) were taken. The Job Insecurity- (JIQ), the Revised/Short-version of the Minnesota
Job Satisfaction- (MSQ) and Organisational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ), were used.
Pearson and canonical correlations were computed to determine the relationship between the
variables. The results indicated differences between job insecurity of different races, Employees
who belong to a union, experience higher levels of job insecurity.
2063.182 The condition of cross-modal illusory conjunctions between vision and touch, Wenna
Wang, Zhihua Liu, South China Normal University, Guangzhou, China
Most experiments show that cross-modal illusory conjunctions (ICs) happen under conditions of
divided attention, which means the tasks showed to participants in experiments can't be too easy
and the showing time should be reasonable. According to Caterina participants showed ICs in the
easy tasks within a long time. But in such a condition,the probability is that participants might
change attention instead of divided it. So we do our five experiments to support our suppose. Our
results show that:1, participants do well in easy conditions ,they changed their attention; 2,Ics
occur in difficult tasks---they reported felt textures/shapes as visual textures/shapes.
2063.183 The exploratory study on the assessment of the facilities in a Japanese campus, Akifumi
Hatakeyama, Health Science University of Hokkaido, Japan
This study deals with the exploratory investigation on the assessment of the facilities in a Japanese
campus. The subjects were consisted of undergraduate students. At first, they were required to
discuss and give the items that they think that are necessary to use the facilities in the campus.
After that, they strolled around the inside of their own campus, and assessed it in reference to the
given items in their discussion. In the presentation, the interpretation of the clarified results will be
discussed.
