“The Limits” of Economic Growth in Romania

2014

Abstract A sustainable economic growth of GDP of 3-4% annually in Romania for the reduction of gaps in development was considered impossible by most institutions of various skill and opinion leaders, as well as of international financial bodies. The reasons cited were delayed public reforms, low growth potential as a result of the crisis, the overview status of the states in the Eurozone dependent on inside community trade and also the prospects for a lasting economic stagnation, the balance sheet effect, as a result of over indebtedness of firms and individuals that substantially reduced inclination towards investment and consumption. Contradicting these forecasts, in 2013, Romania's econo…

Relationships between leadership and professionals' job attitudes and perceptions: Comparison of two leadership models

1996

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the power of the Average Leadership Style (ALS) and Vertical Dyad Linkage (VDL) models of leadership in explaining relationships between leader's initiating structure behaviour and consideration behaviour, and subordinates' attitudes and perceptions. The considered dependent variables were five facets of job satisfaction, two role stress variables (role conflict and ambiguity), one role strain indicator (job tension), and four dimensions of workteam climate. The relationships were investigated in two occupational samples comprising 127 family physicians and 155 nurses working in 28 Primary Health Care Teams. Within and between analysis (WABA…

Palliative Care Professionals' Inner Lives: Cross-Cultural Application of the Awareness Model of Self-Care

2021

Compassionate professional qualities traditionally have not received the most attention in either critical or end of life care. Constant exposure to death, time pressure and workload, inadequate coping with personal emotions, grieving, and depression urge the development of an inner curricula of competences to promote professional quality of life and compassionate care. The COVID-19 pandemic highlights the universality of these problems and the need to equip ourselves with rigorously validated measurement and monitoring approaches that allow for unbiased comparisons. The main objective of this study was to offer evidence on the generalizability of the awareness model of self-care across thr…

Artificial Intelligence for Hospital Health Care:Application Cases and Answers to Challenges in European Hospitals

2021

The development and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in health care contexts is a concurrent research and management question. Especially for hospitals, the expectations regarding improved efficiency and effectiveness by the introduction of novel AI applications are huge. However, experiences with real-life AI use cases are still scarce. As a first step towards structuring and comparing such experiences, this paper is presenting a comparative approach from nine European hospitals and eleven different use cases with possible application areas and benefits of hospital AI technologies. This is structured as a current review and opinion article from a diverse range of…

PSC; Current Status and Implications for Future Research

2019

The present chapter reviews all previous chapters of this book. Overall, the chapters offered many new perspectives on PSC research and practice. The validity and usefulness of the PSC concept was applied in Malaysia, Australia, and Iran, and for the first time in Canada and Germany, and in occupations (humanitarian work, university personnel) not investigated previously. This has been demonstrated in a series of qualitative studies (Biron et al., 2019, Chap. 15; Ertel & Formazin, 2019, Chap. 13; Loh et al., 2019, Chap. 9; Potter et al., 2019, Chap. 10). Several chapters introduced new conceptual or measurement related ideas, including the PSC as part of the broader concept of organisationa…

Waiting for a new leader: Eras and transitions in Cosa Nostra

2019

Partendo dal controverso dibattito che negli ultimi anni ha visto in Italia – soprattutto i mezzi di comunicazione di massa e le agenzie investigative – disputare sullo “stato di salute” delle organizzazioni criminali mafiose, quasi a volerne stilare una discutibile classifica di offensività e di pericolosità, il capitolo si interroga sull’attuale e delicata fase attraversata da Cosa Nostra, facendo ricorso a una prospettiva analitica multiproblematica e multidisciplinare (rielaborando il cosiddetto paradigma della complessità proposto da Umberto Santino alla luce dei più recenti studi e delle nuove prospettive analitiche emerse) e dando conto delle numerose ricerche (oggi spesso orientate …

Transactions in Mobile Electronic Commerce

2000

With the development of global networking, invention of WWW, and proliferation of Internet-enabled computer hardware and software into homes and pockets, a huge customer base has been created for electronic commerce. It is rapidly expanding in USA and Europe and Japan are following the trend. So far, the development of E-commerce has happened in a rather unregulated way especially in USA, whereas in Europe the European Commission has been developing a regulatory basis mainly in form of directives. Currently (12/1999) they have not yet all been accepted and a major restructuring of the regulatory framework has also been planned. Another technological development is the rapid growth of mobile…

Producción de personas, reproducción de representaciones. Reflexiones sobre dos programas de capacitación en liderazgo

2020

The present paper addresses the question of the role Executive Education performs in the strengthening and reproduction of neoliberal ideology. It aims to critically reflect on the way selected contents and teaching activities operate jointly enabling or inhibiting certain perspectives regarding work in organizations. Two Leadership training programs are analyzed in this article, currently delivered by the two most prestigious business schools in Argentina: IAE Business School, and Torcuato Di Tella Business School. I begin with a general description of each one and proceed analyzing their educational proposals. Finally, the critical review reveals their consistency with a set of social rep…

TRANSACTIONAL SEX, EARLY MARRIAGE, AND PARENT– CHILD RELATIONS IN A TANZANIAN SLUM

2016

Transactional sex has been recognized as a major factor in the persistence of HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa, yet it also has implications for the persistence of poverty. Using interview data collected between 2010 and 2015, this article examines how Muslim families in Dar es Salaam are affected by transactional sexual behavior.1 Examined are motives for transactional sex, how poor families view the purpose of marriage, and religious teachings and cultural beliefs about the onset of adulthood. Familial strategies to ensure provision for daughters and to improve the family’s socio-economic situation are impeded by the fact that in a context of high unemploy ment, transactional sex of ten rep…
