“…From this information, how important work values were for the employees from both sides of the Strait and their differences could be determined. The ranking of work values for the employees from both sides of the Strait and the ranking of the organizational management of cadre members from both sides of the Strait were summarized in Tables 4 and 5 respectively (questionnaires adopted from [31][32][33]). Table 4.…”

“…The six variables from work values as listed in Table 6 (questions selected from [31][32][33]), including (1) "I devote myself to my work"; (2) "Even if there is no extra pay for working overtime, I would still work overtime to finish my work at night"; (3) "I usually go to work earlier to prepare the tasks I have to handle"; (4) "I am proud of my work"; (5) "I want to be perfect when it comes to my work"; and (6) "I never feel confused or scared while working", were selected as the independent variables X to explain the dependent variable Y: "My boss thinks I am doing a great job at work". The R value was 0.709 with the Taiwanese employees and 0.791 with the Chinese employees, indicating that there was a relationship between superintendents' praise for the employees and the employees' devotion to their jobs.…”

“…The five variables from organizational management as listed in Table 7 (questions selected from [31][32][33]), including (1) "I think the employees of the company I work for are highly involved in decision making at work"; (2) "If there is a training opportunity, the management of the company I work for usually encourages the employees to participate"; (3) "I think the training provided by the company I work for can meet the demands of the employees"; (4) "The company I work for would communicate with its employees regarding their achievements and offer them suggestions"; and (5) "Compared with other companies in the same field, I think the salary and welfare offered by the company I work for are better", were selected as the independent variables X to explain the dependent variable Y: "In order to stay employed by the company, I am willing to accept any assignment". The results show that the cadre members from both sides of the Strait believed that identification with the company and decisions to stay were highly related to the company's organizational management.…”

“…The five variables among work values as listed in Table 8 (questions selected from [31][32][33]), including (1) "When I am sick, the company takes good care of me"; (2) "The insurance system of the company is good"; (3) The welfare system of the company is good"; (4) My income is higher than that of others with the same conditions as me"; and (5) "I can get a raise or bonus of a proper amount", were selected as the independent variables X to explain the dependent variable Y: "I am very satisfied with the welfare provided by the company I work for". The R values with both the Taiwanese and Chinese employees were relatively low, implying that it was not adequate to explain the employees' satisfaction with the company's welfare using their work values.…”

Through questionnaire surveys, this study explored the discrepancies in work values and organizational management between employees and cadre members of construction enterprises on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Statistical methods including data reliability, regression analysis, and tests of significance were utilized for modelling a case study. The findings of this study included:(1) in terms of work values, employees from China focused on their lives "at present", while those from Taiwan focused on their lives "in the future", expecting to improve the quality of their lives later on through advanced studies and promotion; (2) according to the data obtained from the questionnaires, the answers regarding income and welfare in terms of work values and satisfaction were contradictory on the two sides of the Strait, which could be interpreted in terms of influence from society; and (3) there was a significant influence of organizational management on employees' intentions to resign. If enterprises could improve current organizational management systems, their employees' work attitudes would be improved and the tendency to resign would be reduced.

The utilization of a repetitive controller to cancel periodic disturbance or noise in mechanical systems has become increasingly important for industrial applications. In this study, a repetitive control process was developed using a data classification method, with a fuzzy regression approach and basis function, to reduce tracking errors in feedback controllers. First, a system model using the basis function is illustrated to compute the matched basis functions and their associated coefficients. A real case example of improving the focus of an electron beam subjected to periodic fluctuations has been described for verification and error analysis. Next, model algorithms containing pure and fuzzy regression are introduced into a repetitive feedback control system to reduce tracking errors caused by a periodic disturbance. System output data are categorized using fuzzy inference rules as similar data forming a single group are typically more reliable than the entire output data. The fuzzy theorem approach adopts a Gaussian membership function for system output variables owing to uncertainties that arise from modeling errors, environmental noise, etc. It is determined that the repetitive control process based on data classification with a fuzzy regression approach is more effective than using a pure regression approach. Increasing the number of data classifications initially improves accuracy; however, this decreases when the number of data classifications continues to increase. The optimal root-mean-square output tracking error convergence value was determined as 10 -14.09 when the system output data was classified into four categories, demonstrating the satisfactory reduction of a periodic disturbance. Similar results were obtained using the pure regression algorithm, where the lowest averaged verification error was 2.71% for the linear basis function model, with data classified into four categories, and this corresponded to an average prediction error of 3.86%.
