Published on 2008 by ProQuest

While there is a great deal of research on contributing factors towards job satisfaction and an even greater amount of research on Information Technology (IT) project success, there are few studies that focus on job satisfaction of project managers and its relationship to successful project completion. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between job satisfaction and project success among IT project managers. Information Technology (IT) is an important infrastructure and business process enabler in organizations. However, implementing new IT systems almost always involves significant organizational change. This dissertation followed the position argued that in today's rapidly changing business environment all projects have to be managed strategically in order to create economic value and competitive advantage, which may be another way of viewing project success. Improved project success may be related to job satisfaction based upon the perspective of each individual. Previous studies have not clearly identified nor demonstrated the relationship between improving the success rate of projects and job satisfaction.

Published on 2001 by

The purpose of the PinPoint program is to integrate adaptive beamforming techniques for co-channel interference cancellation with Time Difference Arrival - Differential Doppler (TDOA-DD) processing for rapid and precise geolocation of low-power tactical emitters in a dense co-channel environment. The end goal of the PinPoint program is to demonstrate the battlefield imaging technology required to provide the commander with a highly sensitive, robust, precise and real-time geographical awareness of the tactical emitter scenario. The PinPoint program is structured as a multi-phase effort beginning with the Phase 0 study reported on herein. The PinPoint Demonstration System will be developed in Phase I, currently under contract. In Phase II the system will be integrated with a suitable multi-antenna collection system such as, but not strictly limited to, LBSS or the Army Testbed Unit. Flight testing is planned for Phase III. The Phase 0 program was a feasibility study to identify and address the critical technology risk areas associated with integrating beamforming with precision geolocation, through a combination of analysis, algorithm development, simulation, and architecture trades.

Attachment Style Change and Symptom Change in Brief Psychotherapy: A Naturalistic Study

Attachment Style Change and Symptom Change in Brief Psychotherapy: A Naturalistic Study

Published on 2008 by ProQuest

The present study examined the relationship between client attachment style and therapy utilization and symptom change. Participants included 90 clients from a Mid-Atlantic university counseling center at intake and 33 clients who participated to termination. Participants completed questionnaires regarding demographic information, adult attachment, and symptom distress prior to therapy and after termination. Measures of the clients' therapeutic alliance were ascertained following the 3rd session of therapy. Results indicated that clients' attachment style was associated with initial symptom distress. Participants with a preoccupied or fearful attachment style reported greater symptom distress than those with a secure or dismissing attachment style. There was a positive correlation between attachment avoidance and treatment utilization; however attachment avoidance was negatively related to clients' ratings of the therapy alliance. Results demonstrated that 21% of the sample displayed significant change in attachment and 33% in symptom distress. Regression analysis of residual change scores suggested that change in attachment anxiety accounted for a significant amount of variance in change in symptom distress. Results suggest change in attachment is related to symptom change. The implications of the findings for future research and practice are discuss.
