Figure 1 Employee-customer satisfaction model adopted from Vilares and Coelho (2003, p. 1706) From the model by Vilares and Coelho (2003) above, employee satisfaction affects the perceptions of employees towards employee loyalty and commitment. The model also shows a direct and indirect impact of employee satisfaction on customer satisfaction.

2009). McDowell (2009) stated that ‘… well-being refers to contentment, satisfaction, or happiness derived from optimal functioning. This need not imply perfect function.’ (p.2). Subjective well-being is a term used when the emphasis is placed primarily on the overall hedonic tone of an individual’s life (Ryan & Deci, 2001). The most widely used instrument for assessing subjective well-being incorporates indices of life satisfaction, the presence of positive mood, and the absence of negative…

Abstract - Architectural Space Layout planning is the process of arranging the spaces in the given dimensions according to the given constraints. Given a set of requirements, we have to produce a layout which when realized will satisfy all the given requirements. The requirements given can be broadly categorized as Dimensional and Topological. While the former deals with the issues of a space’s length, width, height or orientation, the latter considers the relationship between two spaces, for…

patients are receiving as well. Due to increasing demand, oncology clinics are experiencing increased workloads resulting in delays in laboratory results, oncology appointments, and chemotherapy administration; thus, affecting wait times, patient satisfaction, and clinical efficiency. The focus of this paper will be on visit de-coupling in an outpatient…

13). A bottleneck determines the pace at which the whole process can work, while the constraint is the bit of the resource that causes the bottleneck (National Health Service, 2008). The technique was developed by Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt, an Israeli physicist who later became a business management guru. Goldratt developed processes that are typically modeled as resource flows, and the constraints typically represent limits on flows (Balderstone & Mabin, n.d.). Goldratt was also the developer…

project on time is the hardest constraint. The design will have three months to be developed and in this time it will be of the utmost importance to meet deadlines on time and to develop a quality final product. In other words, we will be thinking in terms of a project cycle and will keep every member focused in order to reach the targeted schedule. The type, amount, and availability of resources to successfully complete the project is another important constraint. This information about…

typically be more sensitive to regret, more acutely aware of alternatives, and more hesitant to invest in the relationship if there was a chance their partner might not be the best choice for them, it seems plausible to assume that relationship satisfaction and commitment would be lower for these individuals. However, no previous research has been conducted with these variables in the context of violent…
