THE ROLE OF TRUST IN THE ESCALATION OF IN-HOSPITAL CONFLICT

Εισαγωγή Αν και η εμπιστοσύνη φαίνεται να επηρεάζει θετικά την έκβαση των εργασιακών συγκρούσεων, οι ερευνητές δεν έχουν ακόμη κατανοήσει ακριβώς πως συμβάλει στη δημιουργία, την κλιμάκωση και την έκβαση των ενδονοσοκομειακών συγκρούσεων.

Relationship, task and process conflicts on team performance

2009

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine which communication contexts – virtual or traditional interactions – is more disruptive or beneficial to the effects of intragroup conflicts on team performance.Design/methodology/approachA laboratory experiment was conducted comparing 22 face‐to‐face (FTF) teams, 22 videoconference (VC) teams and 22 computer‐mediated communication (CMC) teams over a month.FindingsResults showed that VC teams are the highest performing teams and CMC teams the lowest. However, when task conflict increases VC team performance diminishes at the first stage of the teamwork. FTF team performance is also improved by task conflict, but also by process conflict. After …

‘We Don't Question Whether We Can Do This’: Teacher Identity in Two Co-Teachers' Narratives

2012

Through the concept of teacher identity, this article examines in detail the factors in the process through which the two teachers under study changed from traditional teachers into co-teaching professionals. The interview data were analysed by thematic narrative analysis. The results showed that the teachers' own attitudes, conflicts in their classrooms and experience of collaboration had created an idea of co-teaching. This idea, combined with a supportive school culture, resulted in the final solution — a shared classroom. It can be concluded that when a certain kind of teacher identity is combined with supportive collegiality, it can lead teachers to find positive solutions to a stress…

Pitfalls in the Development of Agent-Based Models in Social Sciences: Avoiding Them and Learning from Them

2019

The references on the principles and methodology for developing agent-based models of social phenomena usually describe general principles and illustrate the process using worked examples, but seldom focus on the pitfalls and errors that make practical model building a tortuous and difficult task. This chapter contains a discussion of the positive and negative aspects of my personal experience in a PhD work on simulation of large scale social conflict. The purpose will be to describe the process from the initial plan to the final dissertation, analyze the pitfalls and their overcoming in terms of principles of model development, and summarize the ideas that I found useful for practical deve…

How do different types of intragroup conflict affect group potency in virtual compared with face-to-face teams? A longitudinal study †

2008

The number of organizations using teamwork is increasing. In this context, group potency has emerged as a key construct in group research. Moreover, in the last decades, information and communication technologies (ICT) have allowed organizations to form virtual teams. Consequently, a considerable amount of research has analysed the functioning of virtual teams. We focus on intragroup conflict as a relevant antecedent of potency in computer-mediated communication groups. Specifically, the aim of this research is to examine the role of ICT in the relationship between intragroup conflict and group potency in a longitudinal study. A laboratory experiment was carried out comparing 44 groups work…

La tecnociencia y las Evaluaciones de Impacto Ambiental en los conflictos socio-ecológicos. Reflexiones sobre un caso de minería a cielo abierto de c…

2012

El conocimiento tecnocientífico juega un papel destacado en muchos de los conflictos socioecológicos, tanto en la producción y definición de los daños y peligros socioambientales que posicionan a los agentes sociales en el conflicto, como en su gestión político-institucional. En este artículo se analizan algunas de sus implicaciones en un conflicto socioecológico: el que se produce en torno a las explotaciones de minería de carbón a cielo abierto y la conservación de lo seco sistemas de la zona montañosa del Valle de Laciana (León), protegidos por la legislación ambiental europea, en un contexto regional de progresiva decadencia de una minería cuya viabilidad económica y laboral depende de …

Narrativa dei Caraibi nel nuovo millennio

2020

L’etichetta “Letterature franco-caraibica” utilizzata, per convenzione, dalla critica per indicare unitariamente la produzione letteraria in lingua francese della regione centrale del Continente americano è assai impropria. La regione dei Caraibi abbraccia, infatti, sia alcune delle isole dell’arcipelago delle Piccole Antille (Martinica, Guadalupa), sia l’isola di Haïti, che fa parte delle Grandi Antille, che la Guiana incastonata sulla costa orientale dell’America meridionale. Pur nella diversità dei movimenti ideologici e degli avvenimenti storici che si sono succeduti nella regione, le opere letterarie degli scrittori caraibici francofoni, nel loro insieme, hanno oscillato, e continuano …
