... According to Singhai (2016), job satisfaction is the evaluation of a person's employment and company as contributing appropriately to the achievement of one's own goals. Job satisfaction and dissatisfaction are defined by the nature of the job as well as the expectations of the employee. ...
The aim of this paper is to investigate job satisfaction of Turkish white-collar employees and to determine how multicultural companies in Tallinn satisfy their employees in the context of the Two-Factor Theory of Herzberg and location. To attain this purpose, we explore the job satisfaction of Turkish white-collar employees living in Tallinn. We used a semi-structured framework with in-depth interviews that included open and closed-ended questions based on a review of the literature. Snowball sampling was used in the selection of the interviewees and the sample was selected according to the job titles suitable for the definition of white-collar employee. Ten interviews with Turkish white-collar employees from six different multicultural firms were conducted. Our findings indicate that salary and supervision were shown to be crucial in enhancing Turkish white-collar employees' job satisfaction, according to the findings, based on Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory. White-collar employees expect good guidance and effective supervision from their managers, and a good salary has been shown to increase their job satisfaction.
In the present survey, a total 45 species belonging to 33 genera under 7 families were recorded. The family Acrididae was found to be the most dominant and was represented with 18 species, second dominant family was Tettigonidae and Gryllidae with 9 species. Pygromorphidae stood at third rank with 3 species and family Tetrigidae, Gryllotalpidae and Rhaphidophoridae was represented by 2 species each. Family Tetrigidae and Rhaphidophoridae were reported for the first time in Gujarat.
Species of grasshopper have been divided into three diet classifications based on mandible morphology: forbivorous (specialist on forbs), graminivorous (specialist on grasses), and mixed feeding (broad-scale generalists). For example, Melanoplus bivittatus and Dissosteira carolina are presumed to be broad-scale generalists, Chortophaga viridifasciata is a specialist on grasses, and Melanoplus femurrubrum is a specialist on forbs. These classifications, however, have not been verified in the wild. Multiple specimens of these four species were collected, and diet analysis was performed using DNA metabarcoding of the gut contents. The rbcLa gene region was amplified and sequenced using Illumina MiSeq sequencing. Levins' measure and the Shannon–Wiener measure of niche breadth were calculated using family-level identifications and Morisita's measure of niche overlap was calculated using operational taxonomic units (OTUs). Gut contents confirm both D. carolina and M. bivittatus as generalists and C. viridifasciata as a specialist on grasses. For M. femurrubrum, a high niche breadth was observed and species of grasses were identified in the gut as well as forbs. Niche overlap values did not follow predicted patterns, however, the low values suggest low competition between these species.
A total of 1380 specimens of Tettigoniidae were collected from 98 localities in Jordan during the period from October 2001 to February 2004. Specimens in the University ofJordan Insects Museum as well as other Jordanian collections were examined. A total of 27 species belonging to 17 genera and four subfamilies are recorded. The Tettigoniinae contained 14 species in nine genera. The Phaneropte, rinae contained nine species in five genera. The Conocephalinae contained three species in two gene· ra. The subfamily Saginae contained one species. In our study seven species are new records for Jordan: Phaneropterajordanica, Tylopsis peneri, Tylopsis sp., Platyc!eis (TesseUana) tesellata holoptera, ParaphoUdopt era syriaca, Conocephalus canocephalus, and Conocephalus maculatus. The Tylopsis species collected from Dana Reserve is believed to be new to science. Keys for the identification of subfamilies, genera, sub, genera and species recorded in Jordan were constructed and provided with the necessary illustrations. For each species, the valid name, distribution in the world, collecting sites and dates in Jordan, and co' lored photographs were provided.
