How and when does leader knowledge hiding trickle down the organisational hierarchy in the tourism context? A team-level analysis

2022

This research aims to extend the literature on knowledge hiding and tourism by integrating the theoretical frameworks of social exchange and social learning. Employee knowledge hiding has scarcely been examined in the tourism literature while leader knowledge hiding has not been analysed at all. Recognising that knowledge hiding can seriously undermine the ability of employees to offer innovative customer service and that leaders’ knowledge hiding may trigger knowledge hiding chain reactions among tourism employees, this study attempts to fill this gap. Utilising multi-source, multi-timed and multi-level data, we hypothesise a multi-level mediation wherein leader knowledge hiding trickles d…

Shared Mental Models: National Representative Coaches’ Thinking on Importance, Characteristics, and Development

2022

The aims of the study were to explore how national representative handball coaches reflect on the cognitive properties of the team and how these attributes are developed through team practice. A theoretical (shared mental models) thematic analysis was conducted, and five coaches with extensive experience from the national team and elite clubs participated. The data were analyzed with regard to three overarching topics: importance, characteristics, and development of shared mental models. The interviews revealed that measures intended to influence a shared mental model permeate team practice and underpin the assumption of opponent-specific shared mental models. Alignment between briefings an…

Some factors affecting the grades of technology students

2017

In this study factors that affect the grades of Norwegian technology students have been investigated. The total data set contained 355.706 individual exams from 63 different engineering master programs during the 2010 to 2014 period. Regression analysis showed that the single factor having the largest impact on students’ grades at university was their average grade from high school. Students who had on average one unit better grade from high school got on average 1.4 to 1.7 units better grades in the first year at university and even on their master thesis they got 0.76 units better grades. Strong correlations in the awarded grades for single students were also observed between the differen…

Jealousy due to social media? A systematic literature review and framework of social media-induced jealousy

2021

Purpose The association between social media and jealousy is an aspect of the dark side of social media that has garnered significant attention in the past decade. However, the understanding of this association is fragmented and needs to be assimilated to provide scholars with an overview of the current boundaries of knowledge in this area. This systematic literature review (SLR) aims to fulfill this need. Design/methodology/approach The authors undertake an SLR to assimilate the current knowledge regarding the association between social media and jealousy, and they examine the phenomenon of social media-induced jealousy (SoMJ). Forty-five empirical studies are curated and analyzed using st…

A COLAB model Of workplace transformation in the criminal justice context

2021

AbstractThis chapter presents the COLAB model for promoting organisational learning and innovation with potential application in criminal justice-related organisations. We describe this model as a toolkit that built on the Change Laboratory model of workplace transformation but one augmented with the beneficial components of Activity Clinics, Boundary Crossing Workshops and Codesign methods and developed within the criminal justice context. Limitations and future directions for the model are discussed.

Armature culturali di sviluppo. Rigenerazione urbana e politiche culturali

2014

Abitiamo un “pianeta urbano” in cui più della metà della popolazione vive nelle città, con valori che in Europa raggiungono l’80%. Il consolidamento della città come forma prevalente dell’abitare il mondo ne assegna sempre più il ruolo di growth machine dello sviluppo, motore dell’evoluzione e del dinamismo delle comunità, generatrice di stili di vita innovativi. Le città si propongono come potenti attrattrici della popolazione non solo dalle zone rurali, ma sempre più dalle altre città ed un poderoso flusso di “classe creativa” le attraversa e ne alimenta la rigenerazione e la competitività. La città creativa diventa icona della contemporaneità, retorica ricorrente per disegnare visioni, d…
