The Co-Creative Futures Triangle: A Workshop to Build Shared Intent for Transformation

The study of union certification elections is well advanced in the academic literature. There is, however, little research on determinants of union certification when more than one union is on the ballot. The work on multiunion elections that does exist is primarily descriptive and conducted at the macro level. This paper presents a micro‐level study of a multiunion election. Three sets of variables derived from expectancy theory, the investments model, and the theory of reasoned action, were posited to influence employee choice in a multiunion election. Data were collected via a mail survey of 270 employees who recently participated in a multiunion election. The data were analyzed using multiple analysis of variance and discriminant analysis. The results provide strong evidence that the employee vote in a multiunion election is correlated with (a) an evaluation of the efficacy of a raiding union, (b) employee behavioural investments, and (c) the attitudes of others in the immediate work group. Implications for labour practitioners centre on increasing employee involvement, identifying the union with important others, and delivering desired results. Future researchers may wish to extend this framework to other settings.RésuméL'analyse des élections pour Vaccréditation syndicale est un sujet souvent traité dans les revues savantes. Cependant, on n'a que peu etudié les facteurs qui déterminent Vaccréditation en cas de syndicats multiples dans un scrutin. II existe surtout jusqu'à ce jour des descriptions ou des macroanalyses. Cet article présente une microanalyse d'une élection multisyndicale, prenant pour principe que trois ensembles de variables influencent le choix des employés: des variables inspirées par la Théorie des attentes (Expectancy Theory), par le Modèle des investisse‐ments et par la Théorie de Vaction raisonnée (Reasoned Action Theory). Un sondage par correspondence de 270 employés, qui avaient récemment participé à une élection à syndicats multiples, a foumi les données qui ont servi de base pour une analyse de variance et de discrimination. Les resultats indiquent clairement une corrélation entre le vote de l'employé et (1) l'évaluation de l'éfficacité d'un syndicat agresseur (raiding union), (2) les investissements com‐portementaux de l'employé, et (3) les attitudes des col‐lègues dans le groupe de travail. Pour qu'un syndicat puisse préserver son accréditation, ces résultats lui sug‐gèrent d'augmenter la participation des employés qu'il représente, d'encourager la loyauté des employés ay ant une influence sur leurs collègues, et d'améliorer la performance des services de base pour employés. De futures recherches pourront éStendre ce cadre á d'autres contextes.

Overqualification is a unique form of underemployment, which represents a state where the employee’s education, abilities, knowledge, skills, and/or experience exceed job requirements and are not utilized on the job. Potentially conflicting upsides and downsides of the phenomenon created a fruitful area of research. Thus, overqualification has received considerable attention both in the academic literature and popular press. Studies of overqualification have emerged and received considerable attention in diverse fields including education, labor economics, sociology, management, and psychology. Antecedents of overqualification include individual differences (such as education, personality, age, sex, job search attitudes, previous work experience, past employment history, vocational training and type of degree, migrant status) and environmental dynamics (such as the characteristics of the position held and size of the job market). Commonly studied outcomes of overqualification include job attitudes, performance, proactive behaviors and creativity, counterproductive behaviors, absenteeism and turnover, health and well-being, feelings of job security, wages, upward mobility, and interpersonal relationships. While the effects are typically negative, there are some contemporary findings revealing the potential benefits of overqualified employees for their work groups and organizations. In recent years, boundary conditions shaping the effects of overqualification have also been identified, including factors such as empowerment and autonomy, overqualification of referent others, personality traits, and values. Despite the accumulating research on this topic, many unanswered questions remain. Conflicting findings on some of the outcomes and limited empirical investigations of theory-based mediators promise a lively and still developing field of research.

On 1 December 2022, an international conference titled “The right to privacy in the digital age – in specific terms” was held at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The conference marked the completion of a year-long collaboration between several researchers from seven Central European countries (namely: Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Serbia, Slovakia, and Slovenia), who had been working under the guidance of Marcin Wielec to conduct research on the subject of the right to privacy in the digital age with an emphasis on specific terms. The book titled “The Right to Privacy in the Digital Age. Perspective of Analysis on Certain Central European Countries” is one of the above-mentioned research’s most important results. Other results of the research group’s significant work include an international conference, and various scholarly publications, as well as dissemination events. The research group on the right to privacy is one of the five research teams presently operating under the guidance of the Central European Professors’ Network. This contribution summarizes the conference presentations and the work of the research group.

The importance of group learning has increased significantly in higher education in the past two decades (Houldsworth and Mathews, 2000). The primary focus of this study is to explore the feelings and experience of students regarding group work and group assessment in higher education. The study is exploratory based on a qualitative focus group approach. Interestingly, students felt that group work is a significant method to foster the development of critical thinking through discussion, clarification of ideas, and evaluation of others' ideas. Students consider “poor communication” and “poor attendance at group meetings” as the main challenges they face when working within a group. Also, students identified “dedicated assignment seminars” as the most effective tool, which could be used to enhance the effectiveness of group work. This study reinforces the findings of previous research into group work suggesting that the experience is a generally positive one for students. Results are discussed in the conte...

As members of a research group at New York University’s Center on Violence and Recovery, we, the authors, strive to promote social justice through our research and awareness in relationships between members of the research team as we conduct studies on domestic violence (DV) and restorative justice (RJ). Our diverse group members have become a “research family.” We have learned through this experience that group work within research is one way to enact social justice. Like a wave, our group dynamics have and will continue to influence our individual and collective potentials as well as our contribution to the fields of DV and RJ. In this narrative we share our experience and the multiple factors that are necessary for our group to sustain its impact.

In college teaching with adult students, encouraging critical thinking, problem solving and teamwork with project-based learning can be challenging. Group project is a great assignment showing students the relevance to real world practices and promoting active learning with joy. However, many college students showed low satisfaction with working as a group to research and write a report. Many of these students complained that some group members did not put forth effort into the group work, but took the credit. The purpose of this paper is to present effective collaboration tools and active learning activities in E-learning. Advanced communication and technological tools, especially web-based tools become an important issue for educators to optimize student uses and to sustain a high level of engagement in disciplinary contents.This paper also discusses the results from the survey questionnaire with 236 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in classes between 2014 -2016. The data shows the 11 tools ranking how helpful students perceived them. The finding of this study can support online course developers and educators in maximizing the use of Web-based tools, and today's technology in group meeting and collaboration.

Organizational Learning from Experience in High-Hazard Industries: Problem Investigations as Off-line Reflective Practice

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present a comprehensive survey of workplace productivity key performance indicators (KPIs) used in the office context. Academic literature from the past 10 years has been systematically reviewed and contextualized through a series of expert interviews.Design/methodology/approachThe authors present a systematic review of the literature to identify KPIs and methods of workplace productivity measurement, complemented by insights semi-structured interviews to inform a framework for a benchmarking tool. In total, 513 papers published since 2007 were considered, of which 98 full-length papers were reviewed, and 20 were found to provide significant insight and are summarized herein.FindingsCurrently, no consensus exists on a single KPI suitable for measuring workplace productivity in an office environment, although qualitative questionnaires are more widely adopted than quantitative tools. The diversity of KPIs used in published studies indicates that a multidimensional approach would be the most appropriate for knowledge-worker productivity measurement. Expert interviews further highlighted a shift from infrequent, detailed evaluation to frequent, simplified reporting across human resource functions and this context is important for future tool development.Originality/valueThis paper provides a summary of significant work on workplace productivity measurement and KPI development over the past 10 years. This follows up on the comprehensive review by B. Haynes (2007a), providing an updated perspective on research in this field with additional insights from expert interviews.

Previous research has debated whether the collective climates, produced through cluster analysis of psychological climate perceptions, are representative of meaningful organizational collectives or simply statistical artifacts. In this study we examined the extent to which collective climates are comprised of individuals with similar interpretive schemata such as work values and need strength or consist of individuals who share work group or interaction group membership. Measures of psychological climate, work values, need strength, and employee interaction patterns were collected from the management and administrative staff of a manufacturing organization. Results supported the symbolic interactionist perspective to the formation of collective climates. We found clear evidence that collective climates are related to employee interaction groups. Employee interaction based on sensemaking and information seeking activities was most strongly related to shared climate perceptions. There was also some evidence that individuals with similar levels of need strength share collective climate membership. Implications of these results on the debate over the use of collective climates are discussed. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

 В статье сделана попытка применения концепций повседневной политики и рутинного сопротивления для объяснения процессов трансформации политической организации и отношений собственности на примере жилищных практик в советской и постсоветской России. Анализируется, как проводились реформы отношений собственности в советское время и как они сказывались на повседневной жизни людей. Показано, что советская политическая организация формировала идеологию, пытаясь изменить рациональность и практики повседневной жизни. В соответствии с марксистской идеологией, ментальный контроль привел к контролю над материальностью, в результате чего члены правящей партии доминировали над людьми, не обладающими формальными правами собственности. При этом производство «нового советского гражданина» осуществлялось посредством множества бессвязных, диффузных и повсеместных действий представителей партии, административных единиц и «обычных» людей. Рутинное сопротивление препятствовало полному исчезновению отношений частной собственности, поскольку, несмотря на почти полное отсутствие в формальном поле ее разрешенной формы в советское время, частная собственность все же существовала, хотя имела определенную культурную специфику (в частности, практики псевдорыночной продажи, обмена, наследования жилья). Формы рутинного сопротивления советского периода стали одним из факторов, способствовавших политической реорганизации начала 1990-х. Последующие осложнения в реализации рыночных преобразований, в свою очередь, во многом определялись сопротивлением материальной инфраструктуры, произведенной в советское время, которая продолжает влиять на формы рутинного сопротивления в настоящее время. В результате жилье как материальный объект стало одной из важных причин неудачной рыночной трансформации в России. Авторы опираются на представленные в академической литературе описания советских жилищных практик и на данные многолетних включенных наблюдений в Санкт-Петербурге, Благовещенске и в одной из деревень Амурской области.

A goal of natural history institutions is to contribute to the understanding of biodiversity and disseminate this knowledge through scholarly publications and other public activities. In today’s world, it is expected that this knowledge, imprisoned in separated silos of millions of publications scattered through ca. 500 million published pages, is readily available for exploring and reusing by humans and artificial intelligence tools. The goal of the BiCIKL project and its key product, the Biodiversity Knowledge Hub (BKH), is to put together novel tools and services to publish and extract data from publications to create findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) corpus of digital data, and establish explicit links between the data in publications and cited data types (taxonomic names, gene sequences, occurrences, images). This corpus of data is made available to the researchers and practitioners through the Biodiversity Literature Repository (BLR), the “Biodiversity PMC” digital library, Synospecies, and the OpenBiodiv knowledge graph through analytic tools, including artificial intelligence, and to a large extend through the re-use by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and ChecklistBank (CLB). This presentation will focus on the entire ecosystem of interlinked services created by Plazi, Pensoft, the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris (Science Press), the Consortium of European Taxonomic Facilities (CETAF) e-publishing working group, the Zenodo repository at the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Literature Services of the Swiss Insitute of Bioinformatics (SIBiLS) to enforce both novel methods for prospective semantic publishing and text and data mining of legacy literature. In the end, all knowledge, published in various journals by many publishers in different parts of the world, comes together into a standardized and re-usable open and linked FAIR data pool for the benefit of the researchers and society.
