202. Bringing theory to practice: Examining the role of pay for performance, intrinsic motivation, and culture on sales agent tenure.

Abstract

Demographic changes in the United States increased diversity among employees and sales agents. Hispanics, the largest minority group, are expected to account for the majority of employment growth over the next several years. Yet, little is known about how this group's intrinsic and extrinsic sales motivation affects tenure. Using operational and earned incentive secondary data from 615 inside sales agents from a Fortune 100 financial service company with multiple locations throughout the United States, we examine the effect of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on inside sales agent tenure, as well as the moderating cultural influence of Hispanic inside sales agents. Overall, inside sales agent retention is positively affected by increased intrinsic motivation and negatively affected by extrinsic motivation. Cultural differences among inside sales agents did not moderate either relationship, demonstrating the similarities of psychological needs for autonomous motivation that transcends cultures. We discuss the value of these new findings to both the literature and practice, along with implications and limitations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

204. ASSESSING THE EFFECTS OF AN AUTHENTIC PROJECT-BASED INTERVENTION ON SECONDARY STUDENTS’ UNDERSTANDING OF ECOSYSTEMS AND THEIR ATTITUDES TOWARD AND INTERESTS IN STEM

Author

Thompson, Kenneth

Abstract

There is a need for secondary schools to provide more authentic, hands-on experiences in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and specifically, project-based investigation (PBI) environments in the classroom that focus on real-world problems relevant to students’ experiences, interest, and lives that manifest the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) following practices they prescribe. This study investigated how, to what extent, a contextualized aquaponics PBI (APBI) 10-week model unit affected high school students’ attitudes toward STEM in general, and aquaculture and aquaponics in particular, and interests in future STEM-related disciplines and/or STEM career pathways. This study also measured changes in students’ understanding of standard-based ecological relationships and concepts concerning interactions in ecosystems and specifically the phenomena carrying capacity and bacterial nitrification process. Currently, there is very little research literature on how APBI may engage students in learning science, initiate affective attitudes and interest in their local environments, and potentially pique their interests in STEM, and aquaculture/aquaponics fields as a career choice. Using a quantitative methods, quasi-experimental research design, three different student groups who participated in the authentic, hands-on APBI intervention (i.e., treatment groups) were given a pre- and post-attitude/interest survey (N=55). The 12 survey items were rated by a 5-point Likert-type scale that measured changes in student interest and attitudes toward STEM as discipline and area of interest. In addition, the survey included a profile of the respondents with the demographic items. Further, the treatment groups and control group were given a pre- and post-content-aligned test (N=88) which measured changes in students’ ecological knowledge. The results in this study revealed that the intervention contributed to the treatment group students’ positive attitudes toward STEM in general, and aquaculture and aquaponics in particular, and developing an interest in STEM disciplines and/or STEM career pursuits. Results also demonstrate that the project-based intervention, utilizing a real-life aquaculture/aquaponics context, was an effective method to provide meaningful learning and content understanding of standard-based ecological concepts and relationships. The evidence from this study suggest that authentic instructional experiences can facilitate students’ understanding of standard-based ecological concepts and knowledge of ecosystems as the three treatment group students showed statistically significantly higher mean difference (improvement) sum scores after taking the pre- and post-content-aligned assessment when compared to the control group (Group 1). Overall, the gain in understanding and appreciation for and interest in STEM and aquaculture can be attributed to the project-enhanced unit implemented in this study. The implications of this study suggest APBI models may create authentic science learning environments that promote student learning of scientific concepts while piquing their interest in STEM related disciplines and/or career pathways. The intervention design and findings in this study may provide educators new insights and ideas on how to incorporate and use contextualized, aquaponics project-based instruction as a teaching and learning tool. In addition, APBI can offer engaging curricula that articulates NGSS., Copyright © Kenneth Rolland Thompson 2020

213. Influence on gender and spawning on meat quality of Australian red claw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) stored at 2 degrees Celsius

Abstract

Possible differences in the muscle quality of male, nonspawning female and spawning female red claw crayfish during refrigerated storage at 2 degrees Celsius are investigated in terms of muscle pH, chemical composition, cooking yield and sensory characteristics to identify the influence of gender and spawning on meat quality. It is observed that spawning female exhibits a lower meat tenderness, juiciness and overall acceptability than male and nonspawning female samples.
