Teaching networking: an interpersonal communication competence perspective

2015

Modern working life calls for competences that enable people to be creative, innovative and effective. Studies looking at contemporary enterprises and organisations such as businesses and schools have shown that many of the qualifications that graduating students would need, including informal learning (see Gielen, Hoeve & Nieuwenhuis 2003), innovativeness (e.g. Moolenaar & Sleegers 2010; Obstfeld 2005) and creativity (e.g. Burt 2004; Perry-Smith & Shalley 2003), are associated with interpersonal relationships and social networks. According to a report on the national career survey (EK 2011a), effective networking is dependent on social skills such as the ability to establish contacts in mu…

“The Same Staff Can Be Enough”. Employers’ Resilience Strategies in Recruitment Decisions

2018

Studies on resilience have sprung from a need to understand the survival strategies of organizations when faced with the emergence of unexpected, potentially destructive and negative events in the lives of the organizations. This article, on the other hand, intends to highlight organizational resilience when confronted with unexpected positive events, seldom considered by such studies. This is the well-known macroeconomic phenomenon of the time lag between economic growth and labor demand at the moment that a regressive economic cycle is reversed. With which strategies do companies, in the face of such an event, transform a resilient attitude into real resilient behavior? Five strategies of…

Is organizational skill a will or a way to a successful lifestyle and workstyle?

2021

Organizational skill is a transversal competence, which is formed through concrete life experiences. On the labour market, organizations want high-performing employees with developed organizational skills. The approach of training the organizational competence is inductive, starting from personal life, competence formed through voluntary exercise, and continuing by practicing and improving it during school life and at work, through ways offered by academic education and management, but also through organizational skill management. This paper aims to analyse the concept of organizational skill, from the perspective of mental mechanisms involved in its formation, as well as human resource man…

Diversity and Social Interaction at Work

2019

Today’s workplaces are characterized by interactions among people with diverse backgrounds. These interactions may occur face-to-face or in technology-mediated settings; as interpersonal exchanges between co-workers, supervisors, and subordinates or between business partners and clients; in small groups and teams or as one-off encounters with customers. The persons engaged in these interactions jointly strive for the shared goals of their organization though they may come from different countries, speak different first languages, or identify with different ethnic, gender, or age groups. This chapter explores the role of diversity in different workplace contexts and situations. First, we unp…

Personality, occupational sorting and routine work

2020

Purpose – A prominent labour market feature in recent decades has been the increase in abstract and service jobs, while the demand for routine work has declined. This article examines whether the components of Type A behaviour predict workers’ selection into nonroutine abstract, non-routine service and routine jobs. Design/methodology/approach – Building on the work by Barrick et al. (2013), this article first presents how the theory of purposeful work behaviour can be used to explain how individuals with different levels of Type A components sort into abstract, service and routine jobs. Then, using longitudinal data, it examines whether the components of Type A behaviour predict occupation…

Comunicación digital y líneas de fractura en el paradigma de la agenda setting

2006

En: Doxa Comunicación : revista interdisciplinar de estudios de comunicación y ciencias sociales. ISSN 1696-019X n. IV, 2006, pp 37-58 Propone realizar una prospectiva que arroje alguna luz sobre las modificaciones que puede sufrir la teoría de la Agenda Setting, e incluso, eventualmente, su superación, por efecto del desarrollo de los sistemas de comunicación digital. La hipótesis de la que partimos es la de que, si bien la multiplicación y diversificación de medios de comunicación provocada por las tecnologías digitales no tiene por qué haber supuesto, hasta el momento, una diversificación de similar calado en lo que concierne a los temas de interés informativo sancionados por los medios,…

La realidad personal en perspectiva neurocientífica. La aportación zubiriana

2015

El artículo muestra que el concepto de persona, el tipo de realidad personal elaborado por Zubiri, constituye una importante aportación filosófica en el actual contexto de la neurociencia, porque su filosofía de la persona está conectada con las ciencias biológicas y especialmente con una concepción del cerebro humano, que es entendido como órgano de hiperformalización y proporciona la base de su nuevo concepto de inteligencia sentiente, más allá de las tradicionales concepciones de la substancia, la conciencia y el sujeto.

The advantage of errorless learning for the acquisition of new concepts' labels in alcoholics

2009

BackgroundPrevious findings revealed that the acquisition of new semantic concepts' labels was impaired in uncomplicated alcoholic patients. The use of errorless learning may therefore allow them to improve learning performance. However, the flexibility of the new knowledge and the memory processes involved in errorless learning remain unclear.MethodNew concepts' labels acquisition was examined in 15 alcoholic patients and 15 control participants in an errorless learning condition compared with 19 alcoholic patients and 19 control subjects in a trial-and-error learning condition. The flexibility of the new information was evaluated using different photographs from those used in the learning…
