Introduction It is unclear what level of workload is best for workplace well-being, in part because researchers have only tested linear relationships. We tested an inverted U-shaped model in which workplace well-being is optimal at a moderate level of workload. The mediation effect of autonomous motivation were also…

Against Cascading Failures Authors: ['Orkun İrsoy' 'Osman Yağan'] Abstract—Networked systems are susceptible to cascading failures, where the failure of an initial set of nodes propagates through the network, often leading to system-wide failures. In this work, we propose a multiplex flow network model to study…
