    Executive development in healthcare during times of turbulence: Top management perceptions and recommendations (2002)

    Notes: In this research we report an analysis of comments from managers and executives in healthcare organizations to provide insights into the strategic management needs of healthcare organizations. The comments were obtained as part of a survey that asked upper-level managers and executives to identify strategic management skill and knowledge needs in healthcare organizations. After completing the survey, the respondents were given the opportunity to comment on any topics of concern to them. A total of 67 comments, many of them extensive and insightful, were obtained. In this paper, we review the literature dealing with educational and developmental needs of healthcare managers. Much of this literature is academic in nature and permits an interesting comparison to the perspective of management and executive practitioners. Emerging from the literature was a concern for environmental turbulence and a recognition that healthcare managers are at risk of falling behind in terms of skill development under such conditions. Respondent comments suggested a recognition of the potential problems. The comments are classified into four major categories: needs and skills in turbulent conditions; program and educational needs; issue clarification; and additional comments. Moreover, the first two categories appeared to break out into a set of six additional themes, which we suggest will be important to those designing programs for executive development in healthcare during turbulent times. While the source of this research is healthcare settings in Canada and the USA, the findings should be applicable to international healthcare organizations that use strategic management concepts and practices.

    Can't get no satisfaction (1995)

    Notes: Many organizations devote considerable time and effort to improvingjob satisfaction, hoping for improved performance. To the extent thathappiness and satisfaction are a result of one's heredity and pastexperiences, management clearly has a very limited role in effectingchange. To the degree that happiness and satisfaction are a directresult of one's present work experiences, management has the opportunityfor some, albeit small, impact. Suggests that, because of thecomplexities associated with one's level of satisfaction, executives andmanagers take a conservative approach to methods or programmes thatpromise high job satisfaction and enhanced productivity.

    The impact of personality factors on sexual and non-sexual harassment sensitivity (1995)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Women in management review 10 (1995), S. 9-19 
    Details
    ISSN: 0964-9425

    Notes: Describes a study which represents an initial examination of therelationship between personality factors and sexual and non-sexualharassment. The traditional approach in the United States to sexualharassment sensitivity has been in terms of social-sexual behavioursbased on gender. Moreover, a review of previous research indicates thatthe examination of personality factors as imperatives for sexualharassment sensitivity has received little attention. The findings ofthis research, however, suggest that there are relationships betweensexual harassment sensitivity and several personality factors. Thefindings imply that personality factors may potentially play asignificant role in the counselling of sexual harassment aggressors andvictims and in the development of programmes to prevent sexualharassment in the workplace.

    Can the hobo phenomenon help explain voluntary turnover? (1996)

    Notes: Examines the behaviour of hotel employees who, even when they say they are "satisfied", move from job to job for reasons unrelated to that "satisfaction". Suggests that an important reason for leaving jobs is that such movement may represent an important way to "get ahead". Reports on a study which is a preliminary investigation of what is described as a "hobo phenomenon" in the hotel sector. Explains that limited longitudinal data (over eight months), were collected and analysed; and implications were pursued through in-depth interviews with hotel employees. Results suggest that the hobo phenomenon may have potential as an explanatory variable in voluntary turnover research in the hotel sector. Discusses the implications, emphasizing the need to consider employee perceptions of promotion opportunities, and specifically the importance of considering promotion opportunities separate from promotion fairness, a factor neglected in current job satisfaction measures.

    Generation X: acceptance of others and teamwork implications (2005)

    Team performance management 11 (2005), S. 188-199

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Purpose - Seeks to conduct serious academic study of the Generation X phenomenon. Design/methodology/approach - Considers how the literature (primarily the popular press) has viewed the contrast between Generation X and its predecessor, the Baby Boomer generation. Uses Fey's acceptance of others scale to consider what differences may exist between these individuals and those who preceded them. Findings - The popular literature and anecdotal evidence from practicing managers hold that the impact of a new, radically different generation, often referred to as Generation X, is just now beginning to be felt in US organizations as well as in society as a whole. Many observations and informal reports from practicing managers describe how different the "new breed" of employees is and how difficult they are to manage. Finds that issues of trust and independence surface repeatedly. Interprets the results as providing some evidence that generational differences may exist. Research limitations/implications - Considerable future research will be required to clarify the extensiveness of the differences and their significance. Originality/value - Considers the impact of a radically different generation on US organizations and on society as a whole.

    Notes: This study examines how deans and associate deans of a group from similar universities use networking. Specifically, we consider whether the deans, traditionally considered to perform boundary-spanning functions, make more use of external networking than do the associate deans, who are their subordinates. We examine the relationship between accuracy in perceiving a network and influence in the network. Finally, we consider the relationship between reports of networking outside the sample and influence within the sample. We find support for our first two propositions and raise several issues related to our final one.

    Customer relationship management and QM maturity: an examination of impacts in the health-care and non-health-care setting (2003)

    Notes: Investigates the relationships between organizational adoption and extent of use of quality management (QM) programs and customer relationship management systems (CRM) in health-care and non-health-care organizational settings. In referring to QM, recognizes that there has been widespread adoption, across organizations generally, of programs aimed at delivering superior quality to the customer. Focuses on this group of programs when considering QM, and looks at how adoption of QM may impact the CRM programs. Specifically, contends that organizations from the two settings may vary considerably in QM maturity. Begins by considering whether there are differences in the paths which health-care and non-health-care organizations have used in approaching and implementing QM. Finds no differences, however, in this research. Instead, finds that there were systematic changes which appeared to accompany higher-quality QM implementations in both health-care and non-health-care organizations.

    ENVIRONMENTAL VOLATILITY, SYSTEM ADAPTATION, PLANNING REQUIREMENTS, AND INFORMATION-PROCESSING STRATEGIES: AN INTEGRATIVE MODEL (1986)

    Notes: As noted in the literature, comparatively little research has examined either descriptive or prescriptive modeling of the planning process. A major reason for this lack of research appears to be the difficulty of comparing and testing planning methods within and across actual organizations. The purpose of this paper is to present a prescriptive planning model based on information-processing research and strategies. This model explicitly considers the linkages among the environment, the organization's adaptation to that environment, the type of planning, and information-processing strategies.
