Resumen

This article is about the role of international bureaucracies in the determination of the general policies of international organizations. In this paper it is argued that in general international organizations' Secretariats generally do wield, considerable power over the definition of the institutions' strategies, i.e. those activities, priorities and projects which taken together make up the program of the institution for a given period. Indeed, the international bureaucrats exercise tremendous control over the content of the program. This is so because international organizations have special functions in the world System. They must see to it that, certain states of affairs prevail in the world over the long run. It is, therefore, no surprise that the programs' content be more or less shielded from conjonctural fluctuations. The article then proceeds to test these hypotheses on a concrete case: the analysis of the processus through which Unesco's program goes before becoming the official policy of the organization.

Resumen

Our purpose is to show that the neo-institutionalist research program, which clearly adopts a neo-classical approach, cannot – inside this approach – be fruitful, because of the technical and conceptual difficulties it encounters. The only way of grasping the role that institutions and organizations play is to adopt a global and historical approach.

Resumen

PurposeInternships are utilized globally to recruit graduate employees. However, there is a limited understanding of the process by which interns convert into regular employees, particularly in non-Western research contexts. Integrating attraction–selection–attrition (ASA) theory and proactive career behaviors, this study identifies the mechanisms influencing interns' intentions to convert into regular employment in host organizations in Vietnam.Design/methodology/approachTime lagged, questionnaire data were collected from 669 final-year undergraduate business and economics students who participated in internship programs in a large metropolitan city in Vietnam.FindingsThe results indicate that the interns who exhibit proactive career behaviors are more likely to foster high-quality reciprocal relationships with their supervisors and work colleagues during internships. These positive relations magnify interns' intentions to become regular employees via their perceived person–organization fit.Practical implicationsThis study has implications for higher education institutions and host organizations when designing internship programs to maximize employment outcomes via conversion of interns into regular employees.Originality/valuePrevious studies have not tested the critical aspect of ASA theory regarding the personalities of the interns when building work-related relationships that result in the person–organization fit before accepting job offers from host organizations.

Resumen

The Crisis of the Ministerial System and the Development of Autonomous Public Bodies and Independent Administrative Authorities The organization of ministerial departments is quite different from the principles laid down in the “Cavour Act”. The tendency to concentrate the services within ministries has been reversed as soon as the beginning of the XXth century. Eventually, public administration has become multi-organizational : the ministerial departments have progressively lost their role as an organizational centre to the benefit of other institutions. A quest for unity has become unrealistic, but new rules and organizations have to be defined.

Resumen

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate how perceived leadership effectiveness is related to staff members’ attitudes towards development of elderly care organizations in private and public institutions. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional quantitative survey was conducted using self-report questionnaire that contained Modified Leadership Effectiveness Questionnaire (Heck et al., 2000), the scale of attitude towards change from Preziosi’s Organizational Diagnosis Model (1980) and organizational development intentions measure developed for the study. The respondents were 510 Lithuanian social workers and other staff members employed in different public and private elderly care organizations. Findings The results revealed that perceived higher leadership effectiveness was associated with more positive employees’ judgements on organization’s readiness to change both in private and public sector elderly care organizations. But perceived leadership effectiveness was not associated with staff members’ intentions to change. Also it was found that different models for private and public sector that explained the importance of particular leadership behaviours in the prediction of employees’ judgements on organizational change and intentions to change were valid. Originality/value This study may add to further broaden knowledge on attitudes of staff members towards development of elderly care organization and the role of leadership effectiveness taking into account the type of organization.

Resumen

This current study is a qualitative single case study focusing on the implementation program of the CSR partnership between PT Prudential Life Assurance (PLA) and Institut Kemandirian Dompet Dhuafa Republika (IKDDR) from 2012–2016. Based on purposive sampling, the main respondents in this research are representatives from three institutions: the government, corporations, and Third Sector Organizations (Organisasi et al./OST), as well as beneficiaries from the society. The study finds six conclusions: (1) the partnership of these two institutions is affected by a lack of resources, efficiency pressure, and other innovative program opportunities; (2) partner selection relies on the alignment of the vision, mission, and values of the organization, reputation, experience, and competency of a potential partner; and (3) the main considerations in program formulation are innovation and cost efficiency; (4) the most important aspects in program monitoring and evaluation are performance and punctuality; (5) program impact analysis is obtained from field observation and interview with related institution and (6) decision of the program continuation is on the authority of funder organization.

Resumen

Purpose Distributed leadership has been reported in the literature as an effective management approach for educational organizations such as institutions of higher education. This study aims to investigate the role of distributed leadership in the promotion of sustainability in an Israeli college of teacher education. Design/methodology/approach Based on the Multi-Level Model of Leadership Practice in higher education, taken from Bolden et al. (2008a) and from Woods et al. (2004), the authors investigated how the characteristics of distributed leadership are expressed in three central organization-wide structures in the college (a student group, the green council and a professional development program). They also explored in what ways aspects of distributed leadership promote sustainability-oriented activities on campus. They used a deductive and inductive interpretive approach in this case study. Findings The authors found three organization-level processes that are based on the principles of distributed leadership and that promote sustainability on campus: distributed leadership enables change in the organization’s internal culture with respect to mainstreaming sustainability; distributed leadership encourages collaboration between the entire campus population and between different departments and distributed leadership on campus enables the development of diverse “bottom-up” and “top-down” structures in the organization. Originality/value While the study’s findings indicated several challenges regarding the implementation of distributed leadership in the organization, they ultimately support the idea that distributed leadership may contribute to the long-term, organization-wide implementation of sustainability in higher education institutes. Therefore, the authors recommend that institutions that are willing to promote sustainability adopt distributed leadership as their major management approach.

Resumen

Purpose – This paper aims to introduce and discuss a new contextual framework to explain the processes of management accounting change in various organizations. Design/methodology/approach – Having an institutional perspective, the paper develops a “conceptual contextual framework” of management accounting change. The methodology to accomplish this theory building consists of an integration of a number of different works summarizing the common elements, contrasting the differences and extending the work in some fashion. Particularly, it draws on theoretical triangulation by adopting three approaches: old institutional economics for internal processes and factors (Burns and Scapens, 2000); new institutional sociology for external processes and pressures (Dillard et al., 2004); and power and politics mobilization (Hardy, 1996). Findings – The proposed framework provides an understanding of the complex “mixture” of interrelated factors that may influence management accounting change at multi-institutional levels: political and economic level, organizational field level and organizational level. Research limitations/implications – The framework extends institutional theory-based management accounting research as well as provides a comprehensive basis for examining dynamics of accounting in the institutionalization process. Through further research, the framework will be extended and refined. Practical implications – The paper has practical implications for practitioners and officers as well as for the accounting profession and academics alike. Originality/value – The proposed contextual framework provides insights into the processes of change by focusing attention on the underlying institutions that encode accounting systems or practices in three institutional levels: political and economic level, the organizational field level and organization level. Examining the tension between institutionalized beliefs and values that may occur between these three levels of institutions will enhance our understanding of management accounting change in organizations.

Resumen

The focal article (Lapierre et al., 2018) highlights many good suggestions but only briefly mentions partnering with an academically trained internal industrial and organizational (I-O) practitioner. We believe beginning a partnership with a similarly trained ally well-versed through training in academic language and through experience in “business speak” will yield a stronger end result. The appreciation for an internal I-O practitioner should not go overlooked; when an academic partners with the right practitioner in the right environment, the partnership can be mutually beneficial and more rewarding than other options. For instance, recently we collaborated to set up a partnership for scientific discovery and mutual interest that involved 12 teams representing 14 different institutions spanning academe and practice to conduct a machine learning competition. This partnership enabled many academics and practitioners access to a complex organizational dataset in order to contribute to both an organization and the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP) community (see Putka et al., 2018).

Resumen

Sudanese humanitarianism and islamism : the organizations Da'wa Islamyia and Islamic adrican relief agency. After the oil boom of the 70’s, a number of islamic humanitarian societies appeared. Sudan was one of their favorite targets. Two of them, the IARA and the Da’wa Islamiya, are closely linked to the Sudanese islamic movement. They are funded by the Gulf countries, nevertheless they pretend that their activities are purely charity driven, responding to the universal norms and values implemented by international institutions. However, they show partisan tendencies, both religiously and politically, and they thus play a peculiar role in the Sudanese islamic system.

Resumen

This research aims to observe how Knowledge Sharing level correlates with the implementation of Learning Organization in both People and Structure Levels. This topic may help those Private Universities to improve their learning capacities and transform into organizations which are able to facilitate their members to develop learning culture so they will have adequate capacities to perform some innovations, foster the development of their organizations, and share valuable knowledge. By doing so, such organization will continuously transform (Peddler, 1998; Dale, 2003), so it has certain capacities to perform some innovations and grow the level of its development (Watkins and Marsick, 1993, 1994, 2003). Slightly different with the above-mentioned statements, Veisi, et al. (2012) stated that the individuals or members of higher education institutions will determine whether such institution will develop into a learning organization or not. Thus, we need to distinguish between the learning organization for individuals and for management board, eventhough those individuals, teams, and organization shall jointly establish an ‘embedded’ system (Kumar, 2005). The findings of this research evidences that the implementation of Learning Organization in People level bring significant and positive influence towards the implementation of Learning organization in Structure level. Learning Organization in People level also gives meaningful and positive contribution towards the level of knowledge sharing, which has been either directly or indirectly integrated through organization commitment. On the contrary, Learning Organization in Structure level does not contribute any meaningful impact towards the level of knowledge but such component can still affect knowledge sharing when it is integrated through the organization commitment.

Resumen

Purpose Higher education institutions play an important role in the economic growth of any country, through skills and productivity of their graduates. Employers have some expectations about the skills the graduates possess when they graduate out of universities. The purpose of this paper is to examine the skills employers look for in graduates before they hire them. Design/methodology/approach Using a structured survey instrument, this paper gathered data from 50 organizations employing over 50 people. The data consisted of 21 skills the employers rate as important. These skills were categorized into four dimensions: analytical skills, career professional and readiness skills, communications skills, and personality, leadership skills and team/group work. After checking the reliability of the scale, χ2 test and rank correlation were used to analyze the importance of these skills. Findings The findings from a study of employers in the northeastern part of USA suggest that the top six skills and competencies rated with highest importance by employers were: interpersonal skills/works well with others; critical thinking/problem-solving skills; listening skills; oral/speech communication skills; professionalism; and personal motivation. Of all 21 skills, the highly ranked skills needed were interpersonal skills followed by critical thinking and problem solving and listening. Research limitations/implications The present research is based on self-report measures and, hence, the limitations of social desirability bias and common method bias are inherent. However, adequate care is taken to minimize these limitations. The research has implications for the higher educational institutions and researches in the field of education. Practical implications In addition to the employers, this study contributes to higher educational institutions. The study suggests that employers look for interpersonal skills and problem-solving skills before making hiring decisions. Educational institutions need to focus on enhancing these skills in classrooms by emphasizing the teamwork. The implications for both academicians and practitioners are discussed in the paper. Social implications The findings from the study help in creating a fruitful social environment in organizations. Originality/value This study provides new insights about the changing pattern of skills students need to secure before seeking employment.

Resumen

One of the new concepts that have found a considerable position in many countries of the world is organizing EFQM organizational excellence models. Different organizations and institutions have been evaluated and compared on its basis, and the move towards improvement and promotion is strengthened in them due to creation of competitive space. The EFQM organizational excellence model cannot remove the managers’ and users’ need for the levels of quantitative goals’ operation solely. Thus, requirement for a tool which considers quantitative goals and present environment was felt, and in this manner, various assessment processes were created to be used in different organizations; one of the most important ones is the technique for Data Envelopment Analysis. Evaluating organization efficiency based on the EFQM model is one of the strategic managerial tools in many organizations. The classic DEA models were designed to work with deterministic data and cannot deal with uncertainties in their inputs. The techniques developed so far for fuzzy performance evaluation are also very limited. Given that the inputs and outputs of a real system are not always definite and accurate and that some data can only be expressed in vague verbal and subjective terms, the use of fuzzy sets in modeling is inevitable (Ali et al., 2019). In this paper, a Network Data Envelopment Analysis Model is proposed in fuzzy conditions for assessing units of an organization based on an organizational excellence model. The suggestive model utilizes the privileges of both Fuzzy Network Data Envelopment Analysis and EFQM organizational excellence models simultaneously in order to assess organization’s efficiency. The Fuzzy Network Data Envelopment Analysis model is able to calculate the whole organization’s efficiency as well as organization’s efficiency separately for various phases of the organizational excellence model. Another privilege of the suggested model is that it utilizes fuzzy theory and concepts for modeling and observance of existing noncertainties in the experts’ views while assessing organization’s excellence criteria. The EFQM-fuzzy network DEA model is applied for assessing a holding’s organizational units within the discipline of “project management.”

Resumen

The Covid-19 crisis is a source of a partial paralysis of international air and maritime transport, which has prompted the action of specialized UN institutions, such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO). ICAO and IMO have been able to continue their existing activities, in all their areas of competence (transport safety and security, environmental protection), which confirms their utility, even in times of crisis. They also identified new priorities : with respect to the recovery of the aviation sector, ICAO confirmed its ability to deal with economic and financial issues ; IMO, concerned about the crew change crisis, has fully integrated the human rights issue into its agenda. Hence, beyond the technical skills of those organizations, this paper intends to delve into their capacity to answer the general purpose of the UN.

Resumen

Crisis communication in social service organizations is an under-researched area. Nevertheless, this topic is very relevant, given the increasing threats to individuals and society. In the face of these threats, there is a growing need for effective communication in organizing and delivering social assistance. The outbreak of COVID-19 has changed interpersonal communication and the very nature of organizations’ work. This unprecedented situation has prompted an analysis of the level of preparedness of social services organizations to adapt in the long run to an acute, changed reality. This paper aims to investigate how daycare centers and residential care institutions were prepared to act during a crisis, with a particular focus on communication through the organization’s external channels – websites and social networks. The desk-based method was applied to analyze the external communication of 387 organizations providing social care and daycare services to children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities from all Lithuanian municipalities. In assessing the capabilities and responsibility of institutions providing social services to ensure consistent external communication, this study ranks alongside others that have examined social service provision practices during the COVID-19 outbreak. However, this study differs from others by highlighting the responsibilities of social workers in combating misinformation and fake news. The research emphasizes the need for consistent, continuous, clearly presented information. It identifies systemic and organizational gaps in the external communication skills of social service providers. It can be concluded that due to these gaps, social service provision institutions were unable to counterweigh fake news, which became “mainstream news” (Wiswanath et al., 2020) and posed a threat to public health, public safety, and human lives. The voice of social services’ providers was also missing in the wider socio-political context. Here, technological, legal, and political prerequisites emerged to address the knowledge gap and the technological exclusion of those at the margins of communication. Nevertheless, the study showed a lack of active participation of social service providers in this discourse, although they were closest to those experiencing the digital divide. The pandemic significantly adjusted the point of view on the importance of communication in social work, its goals and nature. The main weight has shifted from the pursuit of therapeutic goals toward technological, information dissemination, and risk management aspects.

Resumen

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual model to examine key employability skills that match workplace requirements and foster employability.Design/methodology/approachThis research comprises a cross-sectional study from self-financing institutions in Hong Kong. The current study adopted structural equation modeling to examine key employability skills that match workplace requirements and foster employability.FindingsBased on the empirical findings, the acquired employability skills of young graduates are entrepreneurship, professional development, work with others, self-management, communication and problem solving. Moreover, higher education institutions should work closely with industry stakeholders to get employers engaged with the work-integrating learning (WIL) programs and subsequently equip young graduates for better employability opportunities. In connection with employer engagement, employability skills of communication, problem solving and self-management would be improved. Furthermore, entrepreneurship and problem-solving skills could further be developed for young graduating students working in SME organizations during WIL.Originality/valueAs a notable gap exists in the current literature to examine young graduates' key employability skills in the context and content of Hong Kong self-financing tertiary education, this research explores key employability skills of self-financed young graduates and the relative importance of employability skills across company size using a quantitative approach.

Resumen

Despite increasing awareness of the urgency to respond to climate change through adaptation, progress with climate change adaptation differs considerably across social contexts, even within seemingly uniform institutional environments. Only a part of these differences in engaging in adaptation can be explained by differentiated exposure or sensitivity to climate change hazards. Institutions, and institutional change, play important roles in enabling or constraining adaptation at the social group scale. This paper borrows the concept of tipping points from the natural sciences (Lenton et al. 2008; Lenton 2013) and applies it to social processes of climate change adaptation by focusing on processes of institutional change towards and beyond ‘institutional’ tipping points. Different stages of institutional change, where social groups switch from one dominant attractor regime to another, are discussed and illustrated. Empirical research conducted in two organizations in the local government and primary health care sector in Australia are used as examples for how institutional adaptation occurs and how institutional tipping points can be identified. Reflecting on these examples, the paper reviews the conceptual value-add of the institutional tipping points concept, while also discussing its epistemological and methodological limitations.

Resumen

INTRODUCTION. The centerpiece of the development of occupational burnout is the individual’s ability to cope with stressful situations. AIM. To determine ways to cope with stress among employees of healthcare organizations and social service institutions providing services to low-mobility population groups, as well as to assess the correlations between individual coping strategies and burnout symptoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study involved 81 employees of healthcare organizations (group 1) and 88 employees of a social service institution (group 2). We used COPE (Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory) questionnaire adapted by T.O. Gordeeva et al. to determine ways of coping with stress; Maslach Burnout Questionnaire adapted by N.E. Vodopyanova to determine symptoms of occupational burnout. RESULTS. Employees of a social service institution more often than the staff of healthcare organizations had high levels of coping strategies: positive reformulation and personal growth (in 80.7 % and 60.5 % respectively, p = 0.002), active coping (in 76.1 % and 58 %, p = 0.012), planning (in 76.1 % and 53.1 %, p = 0.002). At the same time group 1 representatives 2.1 times more often than group 2 representatives had high values of the integral index of occupational burnout: 50.6 % against 23.9 % (χ2 = 12.997, p 0.001). DISCUSSION. Ineffective coping-strategies, correlating with the levels of occupational burnout symptoms, appeared to be concentration on emotions and their active expression, mental disengagement from the problem, behavioural disengagement from the problem, and denial. Among the effective ones are active coping, planning, positive reformulation and personal growth. CONCLUSION. Burnout symptoms were more frequent in the surveyed sample of the healthcare workers than in the workers of social service institutions and were associated with insufficiently active use of effective ways of coping with stress.

Resumen

odern environmental issues imply that decision-makers have the capacity to take into account possibly conflicting information from distinct domains, such as science and economics.As the development of technology increases the temporal and spatial scopes of risks, decision-makers can no longer consider economic and scientific information separately but should encourage experts to work together. Boundary organizations, institutions that cross the gap between two different domains, are able to act beyond the boundaries while remaining accountable to each side (Guston, 2001). By encouraging a flow of information across the boundaries, they permit an exchange to take place, while maintaining the authority of each domain (Cash et al., 2003; Clark et al., 2002). The goal is to simulate boundary organizations to assess their impact on the diffusion of experts’ opinions. The hypothesis tested is whether the existence of a boundary organization eases the decision-making process by reducing the number of opinions expressed. The methodology relies on a multi-agent system based on a model of continuous opinion dynamics (Deffuant et al., 2001) extended over two dimensions. The world is defined by two parameters: the uncertainty, that reflects the possible zone of discussion between experts, and the exchange, which represents the openness of discussions. Agents are described by credibility and conviction: the credibility represents how much other agents may be influenced by an agent, and the conviction represents the resistance of an agent to changing its position. Two kinds of agents are left free to interact, modifying their position in their domain (dimension) through one-to-one exchanges. Agents called borgs are introduced: open to trans-disciplinary discussion, they are able to exchange on both dimensions. The results show that the range of expressed opinions is significantly reduced, even at low levels of experts involved in the boundary organization.

Resumen

Abstract: Hospital is a social organization and logical combination of the activities of a number of persons with different level of knowledge and skill for achieving a common goal of patient care through a hierarchy of authority and responsibility. Public and professional interest in health services has increased dramatically over the last two decades. Medical sociologists have been interested in the structure, organization, dynamics, and impact of health services for well over 50 years. Sociologists have been instrumental in highlighting the challenges associated with integrating care, as well as the inter‐ and intra‐organizational dynamics that are occurring within increasingly complex healthcare systems (Flood and Fennel 1995; Light 2004; Scott et al. 2000). Understanding these organizational changes is critical because they reflect fundamental shifts in the nature of medical work and the delivery of health services. Today’s complex health systems represent fundamentally new configurations of an increasingly broad array of professional expertise that is altering the long standing system of professional. In this, the health care system has been elaborately discussed focusing mainly on hospital system. Following are some of the points focusing on hospital as a social organization. Goffman described hospitals as “total institutions” (referring in particular to asylums for those with mental health problems, but also to hospitals more generally), in which people were isolated from society over a period of time and led life an in enclosed and formally administered way (Goffman, 1968). He argued that, as a result of this experience, people often formed new relationships and attachments dependent on these institutions (i.e. underwent a process of “institutionalization”) that could make re-integration into the community on discharge very difficult.

Resumen

Purpose: This study examines the Mediating effect of Institutional Policy Implementation on Uganda’s Mineral Resource Management. Materials and Methods: The study uses a cross-sectional design suggested by Bell et al., (2018) to examine Mediating effect of Institutional Policy Implementation on Uganda’s Mineral Resource Management. This design involves data collection at a single point in time to identify patterns between variables. The study population consisted of 39 institutions that are involved in the management of mineral resources in Uganda (Ministry of energy and mineral development, 2022). The study targeted a sample size of 34 institutions, determined using the sample determination table developed by Krejcie and Morgan (1970). Findings: The results in this study indicate that Managerial Competence has a direct and significant impact on Uganda’s Mineral Resource Management. This means that competent managers are better equipped to make informed decisions, efficiently allocate resources, and implement best practices in the mining sector. The study also reveals that the relationship between Managerial Competence and Mineral Resource Management outcomes is not entirely independent of external factors. Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Institutional Theory, developed by Meyer and Rowan in 1977, provides a theoretical framework to understand how institutions and organizational structures influence behavior and decision-making within organizations and it helped to introduced Institutional policy implementation which acted as a mediator in this relationship, meaning that the effectiveness of policies set by relevant institutions can influence how managerial competence translates into actual outcomes in Uganda’s mining industry. The policy implication in this study is that Uganda’s policy makers should prioritize strengthening institutional capacity utilization through targeted training programs and capacity-building initiatives as this would promote the achievement of sustainable and responsible Mineral Resource Management in the country.

Resumen

Insofar as a few researchers have studied the effect of strategic agility (SA) adoption as a technique for enabling sustainable competitive advantage (SCA) in higher education institutions (HEIs). In this regard, this study will examine the extent to which SCA enhances SA and the factors influencing the adoption of these techniques in the context of HEIs, using the dynamic capabilities theory (Tallon et al., 2019; Păunescu et al., 2018). This study aims to explore the highest-order firm’s capabilities, namely leadership capability, entrepreneurial capability, information technology (IT) capability, and alliance management capability, based on the perspective of dynamic capability theory as factors that influence SA and SCA with a systematic review approach to address all research topics in this study. Therefore, the primary objectives of this research are to investigate the adoption of SA practices among private HEIs in Indonesia and its effect on SCA in the context of dynamic capabilities by using a systematic review approach. The results show that the SA method will be the right instrument to achieve SCA in private HEIs in Indonesia. SCA can be utilized for HEIs organizations to achieve sustainable and long-term performance.

Resumen

IntroductionThe importance of ensuring the well-being of physicians is determined by the serious changes in medical organizations that transform the traditional “doctor - patient” relationship and set different indicators of the medical care quality (Melnyk et al., 2020; Sandy et al., 2019; Tawfik et al., 2019).ObjectivesThe main objective was to study the characteristics of the well-being of physicians working in public and commercial medical institutions. The difference in these “environments” is the degree of independence and responsibility in the course of diagnosis and treatment.MethodsThe study involved 102 people: 66 of them are employees at public hospitals, 36 –at commercial medical centers. The respondents were offered a methodic package aimed to diagnose: career orientations; the degree of satisfaction with various work aspects; severity of burnout symptoms; subjective assessment of their work.ResultsThe estimating factor analysis identified 3 factors (73% of the total variance of the data) –such as emotional acceptance of one’s work, stress and tension, intellectual workload. The indicator of emotional exhaustion among physicians of commercial centers is significantly higher than that of doctors of public hospitals, which indicates a greater emotional involvement in the situation of providing paid services (p≤0.007).ConclusionsThe main direction of psychological work with physicians of commercial institutions is teaching them to regulating the emotional state and to master communicative techniques. An important part of psychological support of physicians in public hospitals is to provide a favorable psychological climate that ensures the professional growth and adherence to humane principles of working with patients.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Resumen

This study examines contextual factors regarding glass ceiling effects women’s impression management behaviors arguing that impression management is not always caused by personal traits, but more importantly by context. This study explores to develop a cross-cultural examination to investigate glass ceiling effects over impression management behaviors of Korean and American female managers and organizational factors as moderating variables. Impression management is the process whereby individuals control their impressions in seeking to influence the perception of others about their own image (Rosenfeld, Giacalone, & Riordan, 1995). In the literature on impression management, gender difference in adopting impression management strategies are often considered (Singh, Kumra, & Vinnicombe, 2002; Thacker & Wayne, 1995). Although those studies contributed to further studies on impression management, this study focuses on women managers who try to control their impression. Leary & Kowalski(1990) argued that impression management may be a reaction to the discrepancy between desired social image and actual one. This implies that when people recognize a threat to their social identity, they are more likely to engage in impression management. Women employees may be inclined to engage in impression management behaviors for the following reason: they are structurally positioned as minorities even though recently women have advanced in terms of the number of women and the proportion of higher positions attained(Burt, 1997; Ibarra, 1992), and they may be more likely to experience the ‘glass ceiling’ within their organization (Dencker, 2008; Kirchmeyer, 2002; Thacker, 1995). In this sense, when women managers perceive glass ceilings within their organizations, it can affect the women’s impression management behaviors(Greenhaus, et al., 1990; Wayne, et al. 1999; Kirchmeyer, 2002). Second, this study examines organizational related factors which can moderate the above relationship. Supervisory supports and organizational informal networks within organization provide women employees with a sense of psychological satisfaction not only in terms of the practical support for careers but personal relationships and work in general (Forret & Dougherty, 2001). Thus, it would be a straightforward reasoning that women employees with supervisor supports & organizational informal network support would decrease the motivation of impression management behaviors. For data collection, this study surveyed women employees who have worked for at least 5 years in financial institutions. In Korea, questionnaires were administered to deputy managers and those at higher levels of 22 financial institutions and a total of 148 were used. In the United States, a random sample was selected because researchers were limited in accessing companies. Many financial institutions were visited, questionnaires were administered to managers with subordinates in state of California and New York, total 128 were used for research. The analysis of the study shows that the more perceived glass ceiling of women managers in organizations are likely to show supervisor-focused impression management behaviors. Second, supervisor supports have significant moderating impact on the supervisor-focused impression management. Third, organization informal networks have significant moderating impact on job-focused impression management in both Korea & U.S women managers.

Resumen

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse if open courses, including massive open online courses (MOOCs), can be used as professional development despite their openness since the openness not only brings together individuals from different organizations but also may make the results of collaboration public. Design/methodology/approach – The setting is eight companies in different sectors and networks, collaborating with Higher Education Institutions in developing open courses in externally funded projects. The opinions of managers and HR-specialists in the companies are investigated and analysed. Findings – The managers and HR-specialists are positive to open courses that deliver professional development. They consider the openness in this kind of course to be of no significant problem. The employee knows what can be shared and what can be kept secret. The conditions are, however, different depending on the kind of company and the kind of inter-company relationship that exists. Research limitations/implications – Several interesting questions arise for future research about the use of open courses as professional development in different categories of inter-firm relationship and trust. Practical implications – If the openness is not a hindrance open online courses would appear to meet the requirement of flexibility; they have the potential of being suitable for professional development for individuals who want to increase their competence, but also as organized professional development in organizations and businesses. Originality/value – This is one of the first studies of the openness as a potential hindrance when open courses including MOOCs are utilized as professional development.

Resumen

Technological innovation has emerged as a formidable challenge for higher education institutions in the contemporary landscape. The present study explores the enablers of the successful implementation of technological innovation in Saudi Arabian higher education. We based this study’s conceptual framework on a rigorous literature review like Wu et al. (2002), Kihn (2010), and Packendorff et al. (2014). The study applied quantitative methods and collected 220 valid samples from employees of higher education institutions in Saudi Arabia through personal visits and online questionnaires. Employing structural equation modeling (SEM), the results of the study found a negative effect of project leadership (PL) on the implementation effectiveness of technological innovation (IETE). Further, the results demonstrate a positive significant impact of financial resources (FR) and top management style (TMS) on IETE. The study findings would provide valuable insights and evidence-based recommendations to practitioners and scholars in innovation management and organizational leadership. This study can inform strategic decisions, resource allocation, and leadership development within organizations, ultimately enhancing their ability to adapt to technological changes and leverage innovation for sustainable success.

Resumen

The central assumption of this paper is that international regime theory constitutes an important heuristic tool which contributes to a better understanding of the dynamics of European security as it emerges from the Cold War era. Comprising a set of principles, norms, decision-making procedures and a framework of permanent organizations, the new European architecture forms an authentic security regime based on a process of regional cooperation. The Yugoslav conflict, which constitutes the first test of this regime, illustrates the fact that, even if these institutions failed to end the conflict, they did influence the behaviour of the main European actors. Not only did they favor interstate cooperation but they also reined-in the inclination of states to opt for self-centered policies based on short-term interests. From this perspective, regional security organizations have helped significantly to limit the scope and potential spill-over risks of the conflict in addition to decreasing the tension between the major European actors.

Resumen

Members of civil society are increasingly decrying what they identify as an insidious trend whereby the government is targeting organizations whose mandates run contrary to the federal government’s political and economic agendas and creating a chill around public policy and advocacy work. The media as well as civil society organizations [CSOs] themselves have documented government attempts to undermine and stifle the voices of dissenting organizations, ranging from rhetorical attacks to the withdrawal of funding for ambiguous reasons. The climate of resentment and suspicion between civil society actors and the government is detrimental for safeguarding the tradition of accountability and transparency in Canada’s democratic institutions. Amidst this turbulent environment, this paper examines the often-made claim by CSO leaders in Canada that public funding is a necessary requirement for a strong civil society, with the aim of challenging and mobilizing the civil society community to not only survive but to reinvigorate its engagement to further social justice in this changing social and economic landscape. We argue that discussions of the state of civil society in Canada focus disproportionately on the question of funding and relationship-building with the government and expose the unforeseen consequences of this trade-off for CSOs, their members, and constituent communities. We close by introducing the potential of a new paradigm of “principled engagement” that would allow Canadian CSOs to thrive as sustainable, adaptable social justice advocates in coming years. Les membres de la société civile décrient de plus en plus ce qu’ils appellent la tendance insidieuse du gouvernement à cibler les organisations dont les mandats vont à l’encontre de ses programmes politiques et économiques et à freiner le travail de représentation et de plaidoyer lié aux politiques publiques. Tant les médias que les organisations de la société civile [OSC] ont déploré les tentatives du gouvernement de faire taire les voix d’organisations dissidentes, que ce soit par des attaques rhétoriques ou par le retrait du financement pour des raisons ambiguës. Le climat de ressentiment et de doute qui règne entre les intervenants de la société civile et le gouvernement nuit au maintien de l’imputabilité et de la transparence qui caractérisent depuis longtemps les institutions démocratiques canadiennes. Dans ce contexte de turbulence, les auteurs de ce texte répondent aux dirigeants des OSC du Canada qui ne cessent de répéter qu’une société civile forte a besoin à tout prix de fonds publics afin de mobiliser ses intervenants et de les encourager non seulement à survivre, mais également à réitérer leur engagement à promouvoir la justice sociale dans ce climat socio-économique changeant. Nous affirmons quant à nous que la société civile du Canada accorde trop d’importance à la question du financement et de l’établissement de relations avec le gouvernement et nous évoquons l’émergence possible d’un nouveau paradigme selon lequel les OSC canadiennes pourraient s’imposer comme des représentants de la justice sociale solides et capables de s’adapter aux changements au cours des années à venir.

Resumen

Implementing IT innovation in organizations is a complex and challenging process that affects organizational problems. The process involves many interacting factors and actors; hence this situation is difficult to control. This problem demonstrates the need to understand researchers' perceptions of IT adoption and implementation. This study aims to explore in depth the adoption and implementation of self-development IT applications (SDIT) in Islamic-based Higher Education Institution (IHEI) in Indonesia. The IT Adoption and Implementation Framework (Irawan et al., 2018) was applied as a lens to investigate the case. We conducted in-depth interviews with key informants involved during the adoption and implementation process in the organization. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis. Certain Focus Group Discussion (FGD) studies and specific interviews with key informants representing three levels of management explained that mediating factors such as post-implementation interventions, subjective norms, and facilitating conditions influence success in adopting and implementing IT innovations in such cases. This study concludes that managerial interventions play an important role in reducing resistance from authoritarian approaches to mandating use and serve as a determinant of its sustainability in the future. These findings have significant implications for understanding how to achieve success in IT adoption and implementation in the post-implementation phase by providing empirical evidence. Theoretically, this study contributes to IT adoption and implementation frameworks by identifying the active role of critical actors in the adoption and implementation of IT applications in higher education institutions.

Resumen

Abstract This article, delivered as the 22nd Memorial Morris Hansen lecture, argues that the contract houses, typified by Westat, are uniquely situated in the cluster of institutions, practices, and principles that collectively constitute a bridge between scientific evidence on the one hand and public policy on the other. This cluster is defined in The Use of Science as Evidence in Public Policy as a policy enterprise that generates a form of social knowledge on which modern economies, policies, and societies depend (National Research Council 2012). The policy enterprise in the U. S. largely took shape in the first half of the twentieth century, when sample surveys and inferential statistics matured into an information system that provided reliable and timely social knowledge relevant to the nation’s policy choices. In ways described shortly, Westat and other social science organizations that respond to “request for proposals” (RFP) from the government for social data and social analysis came to occupy a unique niche. The larger question addressed is whether the policy enterprise as we know it is prepared for the tsunami beginning to encroach on its territory. Is it going to be swamped by a data tsunami that takes information from very different sources than the familiar census/survey methods?

Resumen

The purpose of this paper is to explore the possibilities of virtual exhibitions (VEs) for GLAM institutions. While VEs continue to be secondary to physical exhibitions, an effective VE uses technology to engage viewers and present opportunities for interactivity to support further learning and discovery of collection materials. Cultural heritage organizations can use VEs to make the “digital version of a cultural artefact accessible even when the physical access is restricted” and leads GLAM institutions and LIS scholars to reflect on how “users receive and interact with information in a virtual world” (Caggianese et al., 2018, p.625). With the aid of easily accessible additional information, this modern form of presentation may support a deeper level of understanding than a user can experience by viewing a traditional physical exhibition, and may enhance their overall viewing experience. Despite the excitement and opportunities afforded by VR, exhibitions remain accessible for visitors without VR equipment via browsers or web-page based exhibitions. As the “virtual exhibition is a concept that has acquired new meanings along with the evolution of modern information and communication technologies,” we look forward to seeing how GLAM institutions continue to shape the user experience (Ciurea & Filip, 2016, p.28). Cultural organizations will continue to develop and combine their partnerships, financial and staff resources, content, and visitor interests to build more VE structures that fit both their collections and their community.

Resumen

Since the publication of Burns and Scapens’ (2000) work which draws on the concepts of rules and routines (see also Scapens, 1994), many management accounting scholars have followed their lead. Rules and routines have been adopted, adapted and clarified in many management accounting studies since then – see for example, Oliveira and Quinn (2015); ter Bogt and Scapens, 2014; Quinn, 2014; Quinn and Jackson 2014, Bertz and Quinn, 2014; Quinn, 2011; Lukka, 2007; Ribeiro and Scapens, 2006; Spraakman, 2006; Hassan, 2005; Siti-Nabiha and Scapens, 2005; Dillard et al., 2004; Soin et al., 2002). This paper focuses on routines in particular, and how the term is potentially in need of some refined understanding in its application to studies of management accounting.In essence this paper is a monograph of a personal “routine inspired” research journey of the past decade. During this time, not only have management accounting researchers adopted routines as a conceptual tool to help empirically interpret change and stability, but our understanding of routines has been greatly assisted by organizational scholars (see for example, Pentland, 2011). While studies such as those noted above are well researched pieces of work and have advanced management accounting knowledge considerably, I have always been “bugged” by the notion of routines as an organizational concept. Early works by, for example Stene (1940) and March and Simon (1958) are quite clear in defining routines asan organization-level concept. The organizational literature similarly refers to “organizational routines”; institutional literature mentions routines as a component of institutions (which are often equated to organizations); and, structuration literature, while placing less emphasis on routines, associates its concepts with larger entities such as organizations and networks. Thus, perhaps “by default”, when we theorise on routines we associate the concept with organizations, and associate the similar concept of habit with individuals. Utilising a definition of routines put forward by Pentland (2011), this paper explores the notion that, potentially in management accounting, we can use the strong and well-grounded literature on organizational routines to study accounting practices that are not necessarily “organizational”. In particular, certain accounting concepts and technological developments are highlighted as factors which may allow us to apply routines in what extant theory might regard as “non-organizational” situations. It is argued that the extension of routines-based research to such situations opens up many opportunities for researchers in, for example, small businesses. Such businesses are often the source of many innovative commercial ideas, but sadly are frequently side-lined to “sector-specific” journals. And, as larger organizations were at one time small, we may also gain valuable insights into these too.

Resumen

Purpose Using content analysis on assessment of a student’s learning, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of teaching on students through self-disclosure in E-portfolios. The antecedents of graduate student satisfaction are studied using a conceptual model. Design/methodology/approach The data from 50 E-portfolios from senior MBA students was analyzed following the steps outlined by Krippendorff (2004). A conceptual model was developed and tested using hierarchical regression. Teaching tools and delivery method by the professors were the moderators in the relationship between learning, professor dedication and teaching tools and student satisfaction. Findings The results suggest learning, professor dedication, course content, faculty engagement and teaching method are positively related to student satisfaction. Results also suggest that teaching tools moderate the relationship between learning and student satisfaction, and delivery method moderates the relationship between faculty engagement, professor dedication and student satisfaction. Research limitations/implications The present research is based on self-report documents from E-portfolios of MBA students from an accredited university in north-eastern part of Massachusetts. Since the authors used content analysis, the limitations of social desirability bias and common method bias are not limitations which are inherent in self-report structured instruments. The research has implications for the higher educational institutions and studies in the field of education. Practical implications In addition to the students and faculty in educational institutions, the present study contributes to literature on E-portfolios and also for Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business accreditations. The implications for both academicians and practitioners are discussed. Social implications The findings from the study help in creating a fruitful academic environment in organizations. Originality/value The study provides new insights into the effect of learning, teaching method, delivery method, professor dedication on student satisfaction.

Resumen

Se presenta la manera en la que dos organizaciones hermanas, pretenden insertarse en el esquema gubernamental de financiamiento rural, destacando los elementos que potencian y/o obstaculizan el que las organizaciones se apropien de esta fase del desarrollo. Se exponen las disyuntivas que enfrentaron ambas organizaciones para definir su posición, haciendo énfasis en los encuentros y desencuentros que les implicó. Se concluye que el esquema oficial de financiamiento confunde la revolvencia de los recursos financieros de altos índices de ganancia con el desarrollo. El Estado emplea su función reguladora para normalizar muy estrictamente la estructura y el funcionamiento financiero sin intervenir en las condiciones que establecen las entidades financieras con sus usuarios ni en el impacto que estas condiciones generan. Las organizaciones sociales tendrán que crear una estrategia propia de desarrollo, asegurando contar con la existencia de mecanismos especiales que les permitirán tener recursos económicos y humanos especializados conectados con el resto de los vínculos de desarrollo. Así podrán ofrecer opciones de desarrollo adaptadas a las necesidades y posibilidades de sus socios y miembros.Abstract: This article explains the manner in which two related organizations try to place themselves in the governmental rural financing scheme. The paper outlines the elements that promote or prevent the organizations’ appropriation of this development phase. It presents the dilemmas both organizations faced, in order to define their position, highlighting the agreements and disagreements due to the different priorities and ways of working. Finally, the article concludes that the official financing scheme confuses the «revolving» financial resources that have high profit indexes, with the development. The State uses its regulatory function to rule in a very strict way the structure and the financial performance but does not intervene in the conditions the financial institutions establish with their customers and the impact these conditions generate. The social organizations must generate their own strategy of development and ensure the existence of special mechanisms, which allow them to have specialized resources, both economic and human, connected with the rest of the development links. This way they will be able to offer suitable development options that meet the needs and possibilities of their associates and members.Résumé : Cet article explique comment deux organisations jumelles essaient de s’insérer à l’intérieur d’un schéma gouvernemental de financement rural. L’accent est mis sur les éléments qui facilitent et/ou empêchent ces organisations de s’approprier cette phase de développement. Y sont exposés les dilemmes auxquels ces deux organisations ont dû faire face pour définir leur position, mettant en lumière les accords et désaccords soulevés par les différentes priorités et manières de travailler. Enfin, l’article conclut que le schéma officiel de financement confond les ressources financières à haut niveau de profit et le développement. L’État emploie sa fonction régulatrice pour définir de manière très stricte la structure et la performance financière mais n’intervient ni dans les conditions que les institutions financières établissent avec leurs clients ni dans leur impact. Les organisations sociales doivent créer leur propre stratégie de développement et assurer l’existence de mécanismes spéciaux qui leur permettent d’avoir des ressources spécialisées, tant économiques qu’humaines, en relation avec le reste des moyens de développement. De cette manière elles pourront offrir à leurs associés et membres différentes options de croissance correspondant à leurs besoins et possibilités.

Resumen

A brief historical survey of the u.s. export controls on strategic goods indicate the importance of the Cold War in achieving these objectives as well as the importance of polycentrism across and within the institutions and agencies concerned. The proliferation of controls has brought about a large area of freedom for the implementation of foreign policy by the executive branch of the Government. After the end of the Cold War, one can surmise that the emphasis mil be felt at three different levels : a greater discretion by national actors in the implementation of export controls policy, a greater harmonization of multilateral efforts designed at promoting the nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and greater cleavages between those who want to relax export controls for economic reasons and those who want to strengthen them for security reasons. On the whole, the multiplicity of legislative actions and organizations concerned can only reinforce the freedom of action of the executive branch of the Government.

Resumen

Context National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) institutions are required to certify insurance coverage of medical expenses for injuries student-athletes sustain while participating in NCAA events. Institutions assign this role to a variety of employees, including athletic trainers (ATs), athletic administrators, business managers, secretaries, and others. In 1994, Street et al observed that ATs were responsible for administering medical claim payments at 68.1% of institutions. Anecdotally, ATs do not always feel well suited to perform these tasks. Objective To investigate the ways athletic associations and departments coordinate athletic medical claims and the role of ATs in this process. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Online Web-based survey. Patients or Other Participants All 484 National Athletic Trainers' Association members self-identified as a head AT within an NCAA collegiate or university setting were solicited to respond to the online Web-based survey. Responses from 184 (38%) head ATs employed in collegiate settings were analyzed. Main Outcome Measure(s) Institutional demographic characteristics, type of insurance coverage, person assigned to handle insurance claims, hours spent managing claims, and training for the task. Results In 62% of institutions, an AT was responsible for processing athletic medical claims. The head and assistant ATs spent means of 6.17 and 10.32 hours per week, respectively, managing claims. Most respondents (62.1%) reported no formal training in handling athletic medical insurance claims. When asked when and how it was most appropriate to learn these concepts, 35.3% cited within an accredited athletic training program curriculum, 32.9% preferred on-the-job training, and 31.1% selected via continuing education. Conclusions At NCAA institutions, ATs were responsible for administering athletic medical claims, a task in which most had no formal training. An AT may not possess adequate skills or time to handle athletic medical claims. Even if ATs are not solely responsible for this task, they remain involved as the coordinators of care. Athletic training programs, professional organizations that offer continuing education, and hiring institutions should consider focusing on and training appropriate personnel to manage athletic medical claims.

Resumen

The purpose of this paper is to systematically review literature concerning hybrid structures, that is, structures that are used to implement various forms of management. More specifically, the authors aim to answer two questions: can the evolution of hybrid organizations be analyzed and mapped, and if so, what are the factors that govern their development? The document is based on a systematic review approach of Little et al. (2009), which aims to make the selection of literature and the review process transparent and replicable following steps, eliminating the problem of prejudice to ensure objectivity of the research and credibility in the results as demonstrated by Rosenthal (1979) and Cooper (2003). What emerges from the literature of hybrid organizations seen from the point of view of NPM, the concept of Paradox, PPPs and Hybrid Impact is very interesting because by tidying up the concepts that various scholars have found it is possible to define what have been the factors that influenced the evolution of hybrid organizations giving a historical definition and helping to understand the roots of the concept and specifically where these new entities will generate impact. Several documents have analyzed the contribution of these approaches to the improvement of Management, Decision-Making, Identity Work, Governance, Hybrid Laws, Microfinance Institutions MFIs and Corporatizing. Through this research the authors hope to contribute to the academic and professional community by summarizing the known literature and suggesting paths for further research precisely because it is necessary the cooperation.

A qualitative study investigating how contextual factors influence implementation efforts for goal-oriented care."

Resumen

This study aims to explore how the concept of goal-oriented care is being picked up and adopted in Flanders, Belgium. Looking at the meso- and macro-level context: what drives the implementation process of goal-oriented care forward and what might hinder its uptake? This research helps individuals and organizations who want to introduce an innovation such as goal-oriented care inside their organization or in the broader primary care landscape by offering insights into an implementation process, in particular on how contextual elements influence implementation efforts. We conducted qualitative research, performing in-depth interviews with n=23 respondents who are involved with the implementation of goal-oriented care within their professional function, either on project level or strategic/policy level. This way, we learned about the perspectives and lived experiences of a wide range of actors working for governmental institutions, non profit organizations, provider organizations, patient organizations, health or social care organizations and care councils. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview guide, audio recorded, and analyzed first inductively and then deductively using a categorization of constructs into structural, organizational, provider, patient, and innovation level factors, as described by Chaudoir et al. (2013). Our preliminary findings suggest that facilitators for the implementation of goal-oriented care are mainly found on an organizational, provider and innovation level. Active commitment, overall recognition of goal-oriented care as quality of care and setting up a form of coordination are key. Most prominent barriers are found on a structural level, which shows that for goal-oriented care to be actually embedded in primary care the meso- and macro context structures and preconditions should be further shaped. Our findings can contribute to further translate the concept of goal-oriented care into a practice-based intervention. It gives insight in how to perform a context scan for a primary care intervention and highlights the dynamics between contextual factors and implementation efforts. The next step is to define implementation strategies for goal-oriented care that come forward out of the identified barriers and facilitators.

Resumen

Interest in agent-oriented technology continues to grow, both at a theoretical level and a practical level, with the UK maintaining a strong representation in the area in both academic institutions and commercial organizations. In December 1997, the Second UK Workshop on Foundations of Multi-Agent Systems (FoMAS'97), held at the University of Warwick, built on the success of FoMAS'96 a year earlier (Luck, 1997; Doran et al., 1997; d'Inverno et al., 1997; Fisher et al., 1997) in seeking to provide a forum for academics and industrialists within the UK to present and discuss current directions in research and applications development. Supported by the EPSRC and HP Labs, FoMAS'97 was expanded to two days with invited presentations from Professor Ken Binmore of UCL, and Professor Cristiano Castelfranchi of the Italian National Research Council's Institute of Psychology, in addition to paper presentations and panel discussions. The aim again was to provide an opportunity for promoting and supporting activity in the research and development of multi-agent systems.

Resumen

This study aims to explore Innovative Work Behavior (IWB) within the educational context, focusing on the contributions of individuals and organizations to the innovation processes within educational institutions. In the face of the complex dynamics heightened by the challenges of the pandemic, the role of innovation has become increasingly crucial to ensure the quality of learning and the achievement of high educational standards. Educators, as primary subjects in this context, are expected to cultivate creative thinking abilities, explore emerging technologies, and advocate for innovative ideas to drive positive change in the education sector. The recent model proposed by Demircioglu et al underscores the critical role of network behavior in shaping IWB, emphasizing the significance of an innovative climate and knowledge sharing as key factors stimulating IWB. The research methodology involves a comprehensive and integrative literature review, providing an in-depth analysis of relevant literature. The study concludes by highlighting the necessity of collaboration among governments, school administrators, educators, educational staff, and the community to create an innovative and responsive educational environment.

Resumen

AIM: To determine and evaluate the features of highly cited articles (HCAs) in the ophthalmology category in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) from 1991 to 2020. METHODS: The Web of Science Core Collection documents with at least 100 citations from their publication year until December 31, 2020, were evaluated as highly cited. The examined features were the distribution of yearly output and its average number of per publication, HCAs, authors, institutions, journals, and nations. The publication performance of nations and organizations was assessed using six publication indicators. The Y-index was employed to compare the research outputs of various authors. RESULTS: Publications that had cited the most references were highly published in high-impact factor journals. The United States of America came out on top across all six publication indicators, and it was home to eight of the top 10 most productive institutions. The articles written by Breivik et al (2006) and Farrar et al (2001) were highly cited and had a significant impact in 2020. The authors had a higher number of highly cited articles published as corresponding authors than as first authors. CONCLUSION: The findings of the present study highlight the current scope of global research in ophthalmology. The findings can help policy-makers and advisory groups of research centers to develop future policies. In addition, the findings can guide researchers in this field.

Resumen

Background: Medical negligence is an increasing public health concern among healthcare providers worldwide as it affects patient safety. It poses a significant risk of patient injury, disease, disability, or death. The WHO has recognized deficiencies in patient safety as a global healthcare issue to be addressed. This study aimed to analyze various components of medical negligence research literature. Methods: Bibliographic data visualizations tools like Biblioshiny (RStudio) and VOSviewer were used besides MS Excel to examine the types of documents, annual scientific production, top contributing authors and their impact, authorship patterns and collaboration, top contributing countries and organizations, most significant sources of publication, most cited documents, and most frequently used keywords. Bibliometric methods were used to analyze the bibliographic records of research output on medical negligence downloaded from the Web of Science Core Collection. Results: The annual productivity of medical negligence research was increasing gradually. The most productive period for medical negligence research was 2011-2020. Bird contributed the highest number of publications to medical negligence literature while Brennan emerged as the highly cited author. Single-authored publications on medical negligence were not highly cited. The United States was the highest contributing country and the University of South Florida was the highest contributing organization while Harvard University was a highly cited organization. Nine out of the top ten contributing organizations were academic institutions and most of them belonged to the United States. The most important sources of publication on this topic were The Lancet and British Medical Journal. Localio et al. was the most important research article on medical negligence research. Conclusion: Due to increasing attention on this topic, there was a sharp increase in the research output on medical negligence. This is of significance as the WHO set in motion a patient safety program almost two decades ago.

Resumen

AbstractDrawing on the theory of second modernity and individualization postulated by Ulrich Beck and his colleagues, Japanese sociologists have noted that a radical shift in Japan’s societal structure and modes has occurred since the mid-1990s, when institutions that had so far maintained a stable social order and integrated society started to collapse (Suzuki et al. 2010). In this context, religion too has no longer been able to provide stability and support to individuals, and its role in public life has been reduced. One of the most cited consequences has been the lack of trust in religious institutions that has led individuals to sever their ties with them. This has affected religious organizations dependent on traditional family ties, in particular Buddhist temples. Against this backdrop, this paper reflects on how some recent outreach activities carried out by religious institutions in contemporary Japan are the result of a crucial transformation of their configurations and structure rather than a representation of the same old patterns in new clothes. To this end, the paper focuses on the attempts made by the resident priest of an urban temple to come to terms with conditions proper to second modernity, where uncertainties and “risks” have replaced stability and security, and categories such as the family and religion have been destabilized.

Resumen

A critical component of building capacity in Liberia’s physician workforce involves strengthening the country’s only medical school, A.M. Dogliotti School of Medicine. Beginning in 2015, senior health sector stakeholders in Liberia invited faculty and staff from U.S. academic institutions and non-governmental organizations to partner with them on improving undergraduate medical education in Liberia. Over the subsequent six years, the members of this partnership came together through an iterative, mutual-learning process and created what William Torbert et al describe as a “community of inquiry,” in which practitioners and researchers pair action and inquiry toward evidence-informed practice and organizational transformation. Incorporating faculty, practitioners, and students from Liberia and the U.S., the community of inquiry consistently focused on following the vision, goals, and priorities of leadership in Liberia, irrespective of funding source or institutional affiliation. The work of the community of inquiry has incorporated multiple mixed methods assessments, stakeholder discussions, strategic planning, and collaborative self-reflection, resulting in transformation of medical education in Liberia. We suggest that the community of inquiry approach reported here can serve as a model for others seeking to form sustainable global health partnerships focused on organizational transformation.

Resumen

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to illustrate and discuss the main features and key challenges of an original post-graduate education program designed according to an innovative theoretical framework promoting design thinking in a rhizomatic approach. By involving different stakeholders, the aim of this entrepreneurship education program is to disseminate rhizomatic, design-based learning competencies and thereby contribute to revitalizing a region’s socio-economic fabric. Design/methodology/approach Through the use of a pilot case, the paper exemplifies the application of the design thinking approach combined with the rhizomatic logic. Design thinking enables dealing with the complexity, uncertainty, and ill-defined problems that often characterize a business reality while the rhizomatic process combines the production of collective knowledge through a non-linear, complex and emergent path that nurtures innovation. Findings This entrepreneurship education program exemplifies a viable strategy to deal with a regional economic crisis by engaging different local actors including enterprises, local institutions, municipalities, and universities. It demonstrates the potential value of a new educational approach as a powerful lever to activate the energy of people, their competencies, relationships, shared projects, and new entrepreneurial ventures. The first edition of the program offers ideas, practices, and challenges to all stakeholders of potentially similar education projects. Originality/value The depicted pilot case allows us to exemplify how a design thinking framework reinterpreted on the basis of a Deleuzian rhizomatic perspective can enable developing innovation as a way of overcoming difficulties and succeeding, an essential prerequisite for many entrepreneurial organizations today.

Resumen

Improvement of quality of public services is one of the important goals in the advancement of the operation of state / public administration in Latvia. The aim of the research was to evaluate the quality of customer service in the institutions of public administration in Latvia, to perform the factor analysis of the collected data.The research was based on the selection of customers of public services, in total of 292 people in Riga and in Latvian regional centres in 2017-2018. The research was conducted in public institutions of Latvian regions that provide social assistance (SSIA – the State Social Insurance Agency), offer employment promotion services (SEA – the State Employment Agency); realize tax policy in the state (SRS – the State Revenue Service), implement the state environmental protection policy (MEPRD – Ministry of Environment Protection and Regional Development); provide legal aid services (DC – Daugavpils Court). The quality of services provided to the clients of corresponding institutions was evaluated. For the data collection, the service quality assessment model – the SERVQUAL instrument (Parasuraman et al., 1988) was used, as well as the analysis of the research data factors was carried out.The service quality assessment revealed that the performance of public service organizations in Latvia does not meet the customers’ expectations. The evaluation of service quality provided by public authorities, as well as their regular monitoring would improve the quality of services provided.

Resumen

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to aid the convergence of design and management as a strategic lever and innovative tool to improve corporate reputation in higher education institutions (HEIs), particularly in the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, Portugal (IPB). Design/methodology/approach SWOT analysis is used to identify strengths and weaknesses in the context of an organization’s internal competencies (identity) and opportunities and threats in an analysis of the organization’s external competitive context (image). Quantitative analysis was used based on questionnaires conducted with IPB community to analyse if differences exist between identity (staff) and image (students) and where there are design structures (website, visual identity, advertising and environment. Corporate character scale developed by Davies et al. (2003, 2004) was used. Findings With the SWOT analysis, it is possible to outline IPB performance strategies that meet a positive reputation. A positive corporate reputation was found in IPB with the study of corporate character scale. It has been realized where there are differences from the point of view of identity and image, and thus, it is possible to indicate ideas of improvement to increase the competitiveness of HEIs. Research limitations/implications The study is restricted to five schools of IPB. It would also be pertinent to broaden the scope of the stakeholders, encompassing the external community of the IPB that is extending the study to the external public, such as parents, companies, suppliers and secondary students. Practical implications HEI competitiveness implies student recruitment and public policies. A positive reputation implies a positive brand image. Design competencies of the public higher education sector can go much further acting at the strategic level, establishing its directives of action in the markets where it operates to reflect its corporate reputation in a positive way in the mind of the consumer. Intangible assets such as identity, image and corporate reputation, appear as very valuable elements, presenting an increasing importance in the management of universities that entered a market context where sustainability requires the adoption of more entrepreneurial management guidelines. Originality value The paper is useful for the professionals and academics in perceiving the importance of use management and strategical tools to identify HEI communication and reputation difficulties for a thorough design thinking that delineates solutions that leverage the competitiveness of service organizations such as HEIs.

Resumen

Abstract Regional integration organizations (RIOs) have long been an important mechanism for cooperation among States. With their ever- closer ties, concerns about the regimes of the States involved have led RIOs to adopt norms for sanctions or suspension from these organizations when irregular regime changes occur, or governments become undemocratic. This article reflects on the development and enforcement of these tools based on two major cases for Europe and Latin America: the case of Venezuela in Mercosur and Hungary in the European Union. The conclusion is not supposed to plainly label processes as “succeeded” or “failed” but rather to provide observations on mutual learning through case studies to better reflect on the design of institutions, norms, adaptation, and political constraints to its enforcement. Resumen Las organizaciones de integración regional (OIR) han sido durante mucho tiempo un importante mecanismo de cooperación entre países. Con sus lazos cada vez más estrechos, la preocupación por los regímenes de los países implicados ha llevado a las OIR a adoptar normas de sanción o suspensión de estas organizaciones cuando se producen cambios irregulares de régimen, o los gobiernos se vuelven antidemocráticos. Este artículo reflexiona sobre el desarrollo y la aplicación de estas herramientas basándose en dos casos importantes para Europa y América Latina: el caso de Venezuela en el Mercosur y el de Hungría en la Unión Europea. La conclusión no pretende etiquetar lisa y llanamente los procesos como “exitosos” o “fracasados”, sino aportar observaciones sobre el aprendizaje mutuo a través del estudio de casos, para reflexionar mejor sobre el diseño de las instituciones, las normas, la adaptación y las limitaciones políticas para su aplicación. RésuméLes organisations d'intégration régionales (OIR)ont longtemps représenté un mécanisme fondamental de coopération entre pays. En raison de leurs liens de plus en plus étroits, les inquiétudes concernant les régimes des pays concernés ont conduit les OIR à adopter des normes de sanction ou de suspension de ces organisations en cas de changements irréguliers de régimes ou non démocratiques de gouvernements. Cet article reflète le développement et l'application de ces mécanismes à partir de deux cas significatifs pour l'Europe et l'Amérique latine : le Venezuela dans le Mercosur et la Hongrie dans l'Union Européenne. La conclusion n'est pas censée qualifier les processus « d’échec » ou de « réussite » mais plutôt fournir des observations sur l'apprentissage mutuel à travers des études de cas afin de mieux réfléchir à la conception des institutions, aux normes, à l'adaptation et aux contraintes politiques de leur exécution.
