Although literature suggests that a higher person-job fit leads to more innovative behavior, some recent studies have shown inconsistent results with the assumption of such a linear relationship between the two constructs. Considering these inconsistent findings, the present study aims to examine a curvilinear relationship between person-job fit and innovative behavior. Innovative behavior represents an individual's actions that come up with, realize, and apply novel ideas within the job environment, and person-job fit, which pertains to the value congruence between the job and individual, can be a critical predictor of innovative behavior.

Objective: The study aims to identify distinct population-specific comorbidity progression patterns, timely detect potential comorbidities, and gain better understanding of the progression of comorbid conditions among patients.

Methods: This work presents a comorbidity progression analysis framework that utilizes temporal comorbidity networks (TCN) for patient stratification and comorbidity prediction. We propose a TCN construction approach that utilizes longitudinal, temporal diagnosis data of patients to construct their TCN.

The primary purpose of this article is to examine the issue of estimating the finite population distribution function from auxiliary information, such as population mean and rank of the auxiliary variables, that are already known. In order to better estimate the distribution function (DF) of a finite population, two improved estimators are developed. The bias and mean squared error of the suggested and existing estimators are derived up to the first order of approximation.
