Dissertation Hypothesis

2005-10-31T06:14:00.000-08:00

H1:

A shorter “hiring delay” in virtual teams than in traditional software project teams because the virtual workforce is not limited by geographic boundaries and “transcends towns, states, countries, and continents.”(Igbaria, Shayo et al. 1999)

H2:

Less training overhead by experienced workforce (“trainers per new hiree”) because virtual software project teams are more likely to use internet-based e-learning services that “can make training programs more accessible for participants from different world regions, and may support the transfer of experiences and best practices.” (Munkvold 2005)

H3:

Longer “assimilation delay” in virtual software project teams than in traditional teams because of the added complexity of working in a virtual environment. “Virtual teams are complex. They have all the complexity of any group –and then some, magnified by their distributed nature.” (Lipnack and Stamps 2000)

H4:

Longer “average employment time” because of increased employee satisfaction.

Desiderata

Camina plácido entre el ruido y la prisa,
y piensa en la paz que se puede encontrar en el silencio.
En cuanto sea posible y sin rendirte,
mantén buenas relaciones con todas las personas.

Enuncia tu verdad de una manera clara y serena
y escucha a los demás; incluso al torpe e ignorante.
También ellos tienen su propia historia.

Esquiva a las personas ruidosas y agresivas
pues son un fastidio para el espíritu.

Si te comparas con los demás, te volverás vano y amargado,
pues siempre habrá personas más grandes y más pequeñas que tú.

Disfruta de tus éxitos lo mismo que de tus planes.
Mantén el interés en tu propia carrera, por humilde que sea,
ella es un verdadero tesoro en el fortuito cambiar de los tiempos.

Sé cauto en tus negocios pues el mundo está lleno de engaños;
más no dejes que esto te vuelva ciego para la virtud que existe.
Hay muchas personas que se esfuerzan por alcanzar nobles ideales.
La vida está llena de heroísmo.

Sé sincero contigo mismo y en especial no finjas el afecto
y no seas cínico en el amor,
pues en medio de todas las arideces y desengaños, es perenne como la yerba.

Acata dócilmente el consejo de los años abandonando
con donaire las cosas de la juventud.

Cultiva la firmeza del espíritu para que te proteja en las adversidades repentinas.
Muchos temores nacen de la fatiga y la soledad.
Sobre una sana disciplina, ¡Sé benigno contigo mismo!

¡Tú eres una criatura del universo, no menos que las plantas y las estrellas!
¡Tienes derecho a existir!

Y sea que te resulte claro o no, indudablemente el universo marcha como debiera.

Por eso, debes estar en paz con Dios, cualquiera que sea tu idea de Él.

Y sean cualesquiera tus trabajos y aspiraciones,
conserva la paz de tu alma en la bulliciosa confusión de la vida.

Aún con toda su farsa, penalidades y sueños fallidos,
el mundo es todavía hermoso.

Sé cauto. ¡Esfuérzate por ser feliz

Desiderata

2005-09-07T11:22:00.000-07:00

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
