Course Satisfaction in Engineering Education Through the Lens of Student Agency Analytics
2020
This Research Full Paper presents an examination of the relationships between course satisfaction and student agency resources in engineering education. Satisfaction experienced in learning is known to benefit the students in many ways. However, the varying significance of the different factors of course satisfaction is not entirely clear. We used a validated questionnaire instrument, exploratory statistics, and supervised machine learning to examine how the different factors of student agency affect course satisfaction among engineering students (N = 293). Teacher’s support and trust for the teacher were identified as both important and critical factors concerning experienced course satisf…
Zachowania obywatelskie w organizacji: istota, rodzaje, determinanty, skutki
2022
Decydenci w organizacjach często oczekują od pracowników podejmowania działań, które nie wynikają z formalnej umowy o pracę. W literaturze przedmiotu tego typu aktywność określa się mianem zachowań obywatelskich w organizacji. Pojęcie to pojawiło się w latach 80. XX wieku i do dzisiaj jest przedmiotem znacznego zainteresowania przedstawicieli nauk o zarządzaniu. Celem artykułu jest przegląd oraz przedstawienie wyników dociekań teoretycznych i badań empirycznych nad zachowaniami obywatelskimi w organizacji — tym bardziej że w polskojęzycznych czasopismach ukazało się niewiele artykułów poświęconych tej problematyce. Uwzględniono przede wszystkim cztery obszary analizy — istotę, rodzaje, uwar…
Intensified job demands and job performance : does SOC strategy use make a difference?
2020
We examined intensified job demands (IJDs) and selecting-optimizing-compensating (SOC) strategies as predictors of job performance (task performance, organizational citizenship behavior). We also investigated SOC strategy use as a moderator in the linkages between IJDs and performance. We sampled three disparate occupational groups (N=4,582). We found that certain dimensions of IJDs showed significant associations with the indicators of job performance but there were also scale-based variations in these linkages, depending on the type of performance and on the sub-scale of IJDs. Specifically, some dimensions of IJDs (e.g., work intensification) related to poorer task performance whereas som…
Mazadaptīvu personības iezīmju saistība ar organizācijas pilsonisko uzvedību
2020
Mazadaptīvas personības iezīmes saistībā ar organizācijas pilsonisko uzvedību tieši nav pētītas, ir pieejami pētījumi par personības ietekmi uz darba sniegumu vai uzvedību darbā. Šī darba mērķis ir noskaidrot vai un kādas saistības pastāv starp mazadaptīvām personības iezīmēm un organizācijas pilsonisko uzvedību. Pētījumā piedalījās 70 respondenti (15 vīrieši un 55 sievietes), izmantojot DSM-V personības aptauju (saīsaināto versiju) un organizācijas pilsoniskās uzvedības skalu, tika secināts, ka starp mazadaptīvām personības iezīmēm un organizācijas pilsonisko uzvedību pastāv negatīvas, statistiski nozīmīgas saistības.
Riconoscersi cittadini per vivere da cittadini. Lo Ius Scholae, una via essenziale per una scuola inclusiva e educante
2022
La presente proposta intende offrire una riflessione pedagogica sulla necessità di favorire processi inclusivi, secondo una prospettiva interculturale, per studenti migranti di seconda e terza generazione che frequentano le nostre scuole. Si tratta di una prospettiva, quella dell’inclusione, che nell’orizzonte di ricerca interculturale può essere considerata la migliore ipotesi, dal punto di vista politico e morale, per dar vita a processi di coinvolgimento attivo in un’ottica di corresponsabilità e co-progettazione condivisa tra le diverse agenzie educative. In particolare, questa proposta intende portare alla luce la problematica vissuta da molti studenti con origini familiari straniere a…
Managing Mental Standards with Corporate Citizenship Profiles
2011
Stakeholder expectations of corporate responsibility are growing and thus understanding the dynamics of expectations is becoming important for companies. Stakeholder expectations that are met open doors for stakeholder favor, whereas unmet expectations may hinder or even prevent collaboration. While all companies are expected to be responsible enough to keep away from causing harm to others, a competitive edge can only be achieved if the minimum expectations are exceeded. The paper suggests that companies can both exceed and manage stakeholder expectations in practice by building up a corporate citizenship profile that gives direction to their specialization in responsibility. This niche ca…
Signed, Sealed, and Delivered with Trust: Non-Resident Citizens’ Experiences of Newly Adopted Postal Voting
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has made it clear that the traditional “booth, ballot, and pen” model of voting, based on a specific location and physical presence, may not be feasible during a health crisis. This situation has highlighted the need to assess whether existing national electoral legislation includes enough instruments to ensure citizens’ safety during voting procedures, even under the conditions of a global pandemic. Such instruments, often grouped under the umbrella of voter facilitation or convenience voting, range from voting in advance and various forms of absentee voting (postal, online, and proxy voting) to assisted voting and voting at home and in hospitals and other healthcare …
The Role of Parliament in Sustainable Development Goals: A Case Study of Southeast Asia in International Parliamentary Forums
2021
Parliament has its role in supporting Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). SDG number 16 on peace, justice, and strong institution states one indicator of a legislative institution (for “responsive, inclusive, participatory and representative”, that the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) commits to achieve. However, parliament must support the government in achieving all SDG programs as stated in Agenda 2030. What is the role of parliament in this and how to achieve it? This paper aims to show that the role of parliament in SDG is beyond the traditional legislative role of legislating, budgeting and overseeing the government, but more on representing people, meaning channeling people’s voice a…
Is no One Left Behind? Inclusive Citizenship in Practices of Self-help Groups in Rural Tanzania
2023
The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are based on the Agenda 2030 according to which ‘no one is left behind’, highlighting the need for inclusive citizenship at all levels. This article examines self-help groups in rural Tanzania as potential arenas for inclusive citizenship, which is defined as bottom-up practices of membership, participation, and livelihood enhancement. However, inclusive citizenship is also characterised by exclusions. Therefore, while acknowledging the important contribution of self-help groups for development, this article scrutinises the question of patterns of exclusion, first, in practices of self-help groups, and second, in the relationships bet…
Verso una geografia per la partecipazione
2018
This article introduces the contributions collected in the special issue no. 1/2018 of “geotema” and presented at the 4th Study Day on Territorial Identities (Rome, September 22nd, 2017), promoted by the homonymous research group of the A.Ge.I. (Associations of Italian Geographers). The paper aims at discussing some basic questions on participatory processes, in order to pursue four objectives: 1) to recall some of the main issues that revolve around the topic of citizen participation in territorial decision-making processes; 2) to specify the ties between territorial identity (as intended by the research group) and participatory processes; 3) to highlight the questions raised by the contri…
