• This study developed and tested a moderated mediation model. • Findings show P-O fit is positively related to voice, and perceived nature of the work is a mediator between these two variables. • Findings also show functional quality of the service moderates the direct effect of P-O fit on perceived nature of the work. • Functional quality of the service also moderates the indirect effect of P-O fit on voice via perceived nature of the work. This study developed and tested a moderated mediation model for examining the relationships among person-organization fit (P-O fit), employee voice, employees' perceived nature of the work and employees' perceived functional quality of their services. Using 265 frontline employees from several 3 star hotels in Taiwan, the analytical results show that P-O fit is positively related to employee voice, and that employees' perceived nature of the work mediates the positive relationship between these two variables. The analytical results also show that employees' perceived functional quality of their services moderates the direct effect of P-O fit on employees' perceived nature of the work, as well as the indirect effect of P-O fit on employee voice via employees' perceived nature of the work. Theoretical and practical implications for the hospitality literature and hotel practitioners are discussed herein. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) is a standardized comprehensive developmental assessment tool for children aged 0-68 months. However, few Asia-based studies have explored cultural and linguistic adaptations of the MSEL or investigated its psychometric properties in populations with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).Aims: This study evaluated the reliability and validity of the MSEL-Taiwan version (MSEL-T) for Taiwanese children with ASD, global developmental delay (GDD), and typical development (TD).Methods and Procedures: The MSEL items were translated and modified according to the language and culture in Taiwan. In total, 191 children (ASD, 69; GDD, 36; and TD, 86) aged 19-68 months were assessed using the MSEL-T and Peabody Developmental Motor Scales 2 (PDMS-2) at enrollment, followed by the assessments of Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale-Chinese version (VABS-C) at the age of 36 months or later.Outcomes and Results: All subscales were verified to have good interrater reliability and internal consistency, and subscale scores indicated moderate to high correlations with PDMS-2 and VABS-C scores. Significant differences in MSEL-T scores were observed between same-aged pairs of children with TD and GDD and between pairs of children with TD and ASD.Conclusions and Implications: The findings provide evidence of validity and reliability of the MSEL-T. And it is suggested that the culturally and linguistically adapted MSEL-T is a good tool for the clinical assessment of children with and without ASD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
