Leadership and Ethical Decision Making among Mauritian Managers
2017
It is proposed that transformational leadership is likely to be associated with higher ethical decision making, while transactional leadership should be related to lower ethical decision making. However, little empirical research provides support for these claims. Using a structured interview schedule, data from 247 managers was collected from three established higher education institutions in Mauritius. Findings indicate that surprisingly, transformational leadership had a negative impact on ethical judgment and intention of subordinates in relation to ethical issues including bribery, nepotism, padding up of expenses’ account and political favouritism, suggesting the possibility of pseudo…
The Changing Roles of Academic Leaders: Decision-Making, Power, and Performance
2019
AbstractMajor reforms in the Nordic countries have increased the formal autonomy of higher education institutions (HEIs) to make decisions over their own activities, both academic core tasks and managerial/administrative activities. The issue addressed in this chapter is how these changes have affected the role of the academic leader. Across the four countries, we see clear signs of change regarding academic leadership comprising a mix of institutional logics in the interviews: the professional, collegial traditional academic leadership, which is based on rotating systems, election among peers, and collegial decision-making, has been complemented with, and in some places replaced by, a mana…

Lobbaamisen hallinta toimitustyössä : suosituksia poliittisen päätöksenteon uutisoimisen työkäytäntöihin
2020
Jyväskylän yliopiston journalistiikan oppiaineen kaksi tutkimushanketta (Journalistit lobbaamisen kohteena ja Lobbaamisen hallinta toimitustyössä) selvittivät vuosina 2018– 2020 kuinka uutismediaan vaikutetaan yhteiskunnallisen päätöksenteon viestinnässä ja kuinka toimittajiin kohdistetaan vaikuttajaviestintää eli lobbausta. Hankkeessa tarkasteltiin lobbaajien pyrkimyksiä vaikuttaa toimitusten journalistisiin toimintoihin ja kuinka näitä vaikutusyrityksiä on mahdollista toimitustyössä torjua. Tutkimusaineistoa kerättiin haastattelemalla politiikan ja talouden toimittajia kahdeksasta eri toimituksesta. Tämän lisäksi ensimmäisessä projektissa haastateltiin viestintätoimistoissa työskenteleviä…
Izglītības iestādes darba vadītāja lēmumu pieņemšanas gatavība
2019
Jebkuras izglītības iestādes darbība prasa gudru lēmumu pieņemšanu, bet ne katrs izglītības iestādes vadītājs ir gatavs uzņemties atbildību par iestādē pieņemtajiem lēmumiem. Lēmuma pieņemšanas gatavība - tā ir obligāta prasība organizācijas projektu īstenošanā un vadībā, kā arī rezultātu sasniegšanā. Mūsdienās vadītājam ir svarīgi pieņemt operatīvus lēmumus un tam ir nepieciešami skaidri mērķi, kompetence, drosme, intuīcija, individualitāte un spēja uzņemties iniciatīvu. Lēmuma pieņemšana skolas vadītājām ir sarežģīta intelektuāla prasme, par kuru viņam jāuzņemas juridisku, sociālu un ētisku atbildību. Lēmumu pieņemšanas gatavība ir atkarīga no vadītāja pieredzes, profesionālajām zināšanām…
Discounting delayed monetary rewards and decision making in behavioral addictions - A comparison between patients with gambling disorder and internet…
2019
Abstract Behavior addictions, such as Gambling Disorder and Internet Gaming Disorder, have been demonstrated to have severe negative impact. Heightened impulsivity, deficits in decision making, and cognitive biases in the preference of immediate rewards have been shown to be crucial aspects in addictive disorders. While for Gambling Disorder (GD), dysfunctional decision making has been documented before, data for Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) are still underrepresented. In order to allow for a direct comparison of both disorders, we assessed different measures of impulsivity (trait, impulsive choice, and decision making) in a clinical sample. N = 31 patients meeting criteria for GD and n =…

Treatment of high blood pressure in elderly and octogenarians: European Society of Hypertension statement on blood pressure targets
2016
Abstract The European Society of Hypertension recommend the following main rules for treatment of hypertension in elderly and octogenarians: 1) In elderly hypertensives with SBP ≥ 160 mmHg there is solid evidence to recommend reducing SBP to between 140 mmHg and 150 mmHg. 2) In fit elderly patients less than 80 years old treatment may be considered at SBP ≥ 140 mmHg with a target SBP < 140 mmHg if treatment is well tolerated. 3) In fit individuals older than 80 years with an initial SBP ≥ 160 mmHg it is recommended to reduce SBP to between 150 mmHg and 140 mmHg. 4) In frail elderly patients, it is recommended to base treatment decisions on comorbidity and carefully monitor the effects of tr…
Comprehensive geriatric assessment is an essential tool to support treatment decisions in elderly patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: A pros…
2015
We performed a multicenter study to validate the concept that a simple comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) can identify elderly, non-fit patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in whom curative treatment is not better then palliation, and to analyze potential benefits of treatment modulation after further subdividing the non-fit category by CGA criteria. One hundred and seventy-three patients aged > 69 treated with curative or palliative intent by clinical judgement only were grouped according to CGA into fit (46%), unfit (16%) and frail (38%) categories. Two-year overall survival (OS) was significantly better in fit than in non-fit patients (84% vs. 47%; p < 0.0001).…
