Data were collected from 402 faculty members employed at technical institutions across India. From the results of the study, it is evident that faculty members with above average age exhibited higher PE, motivation and satisfaction. Subsequently, faculty members with above average experience possessed higher level of PE and satisfaction. Further, the implication of these findings suggests that the proposed framework will act as a benchmarking tool to measure the psychological empowerment among the faculty members.","PeriodicalId":39284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Enterprise Network Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44498383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building efficient cloud management systems will lead to improve extraordinary features in the applications of cloud services. In cloud atmosphere, enormous tasks are performed simultaneously; an effectual task scheduling is very important role to get better performance of the cloud system. An assortment of cloud-based task scheduling algorithms is offered that schedule the user's task to resources for implementation. The innovation of cloud computing, conventional scheduling algorithms cannot gratify the cloud's requirements, the researchers are frustrating to modify conventional algorithms that can accomplish the cloud needs similar to rapid elasticity, resource pooling and on-demand self-service. Also, the priority becomes an important task when dealing with critical functionality systems. Real world invocations are needed to make an efficient selection in cloud services through a collection of functionally equivalent services. This research aims to detect a novel method to predict the system functionality without consuming more time and less expensive for implementation. Investigation on swarm intelligence-based task scheduling is presented. This will improve the power consumption by reducing overloads when more services opt for a single load. Experiments were carried out to test the effectiveness of the method.","PeriodicalId":39284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Enterprise Network Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44440624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data centres are positioned globally and moreover, these data centres could be overloaded with the escalated number of client applications that are being serviced at the identical time and position which corrupts the comprehensive quality of service of the relayed services. Diverse user applications might need diverse customisation and demands calibrating the performance of the user applications at differed resources are quite intricate. The service supplier is incapable of performing choices for the suitable set of resources. The design of differed service broker forwarding strategies is based on heuristics intended to accomplish minimal reply time based on the transmission medium, bandwidth, latencies and task size. The designed service broker strategy attempts in minimising the overloads of the data centres by conveying the user demand to the subsequent data centres that acquire improved reply and operational time. The analysis reveals potential outcomes in terms of reply and operational time as estimated to the other exiting broker strategies.","PeriodicalId":39284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Enterprise Network Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44184754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the study examined the moderating role of social media orientation on the above linkages. The responses were collected using online survey and were analysed using structural equation modelling. Based on 276 completed responses, the study found positive influences of social media interaction and social media usability on both medical chain agility and medical chain resilience.

An extended ACHIEVE model by the name MACHIEVE model has been proposed to overcome this, with additional factor M-'Material'. Survey analysis based on this new model has been performed among employees in the steel manufacturing industry in Kanjikode. This is a structural equation modelling analysis which used filled questionnaire data of randomly selected 420 employees from among a population of 1,280 employees.
