Abstract

Purpose

This article specifies the theoretical influence of future time perspective (FTP) on the behavior of the parties involved in organizational dispute resolution processes.

Design/methodology/approach

This study employed a novel qualitative systematic reinterpretation methodology. A software-assisted qualitative content analysis for the systematic reinterpretation of 141 academic publications on organizational conflicts, dispute resolution, and dispute system design processes was performed to elicit crucial points at which FTP that was not originally specified is theoretically emerged in those processes.

Findings

The sorted findings detail 829 critical points (themes) in those processes where FTP has theoretically emerged. The results confirm that FTP has a comprehensive theoretical presence (81.3%) in the discourse on organizational conflicts, dispute resolution and dispute system design processes. Furthermore, when the relevant parties’ FTP is operative, their conflict prevention approach is widespread, and the parties perceive workplace relationships and dispute resolution processes as dominant.

Originality/value

The novelty of this study is related to its effort to identify and diagnose theoretical situations within the discourse on organizational dispute resolution processes in which the effect of FTP (either positive or negative) on the present-time behavior of parties within those processes is demonstrated. This work addresses this issue through unique qualitative systematic reinterpretation, which differs from other types of research syntheses of secondary data.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of the study is to explore the integration of facets of information technology (IT) governance at a professional council in South Africa with the view to develop a framework.

Design/methodology/approach

This critical emancipatory study used the Information Governance Initiative pinwheel to explore the architecture facet of information governance at the professional council, with a view to developing a framework for entrenching a culture of good corporate governance. Qualitative data was collected through interviews and document analysis. The study was a participatory action research project that involved collaboration between the researcher and study participants in defining and solving the problem through a needs assessment exercise.

Findings

The key findings report on the processes taken by a professional council in identifying and implementing the facets of information governance, that is, records management, IT, content management, data governance, information security, data privacy, risk management, regulatory compliance, long-term digital preservation and, even, business intelligence.

Research limitations/implications

The study was a participatory action research project that involved collaboration between the researcher and study participants in defining and solving the problem through a needs assessment exercise.

Practical implications

The study’s findings suggest that, with the right information governance policy in place, adopting the facets of information governance can be used to address concerns related to information integrity in the short and medium terms. As a long-term option for retaining data and information, it would have various drawbacks and would not, however, ensure the initial dependability of the information.

Originality/value

A framework for information governance to ensure that the professional organisation and board members adopt a tailored governance system is suggested.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the presence of systems thinking after an educational proposal on climate sustainability based on reflection and video creation. To evaluate this competency, an evaluation rubric was constructed.

Design/methodology/approach

This research is a case study with a mixed approach. It was carried out with 82 future teachers of Primary Education, making content analysis of the videos made. For the design of the rubric, a specific review of the literature was conducted.

Findings

The results showed that trainee teachers can identify, relate and understand interconnected processes, but have difficulties in thinking temporally or in understanding the hidden dimensions of the system. The results reveal how the development of systems thinking in the Climate Change framework is a complex learning process. The rubric created allowed us to systematize the evaluation by making it possible to assess the subskills involved.

Originality/value

To improve the development of systemic thinking, using real data linked to the consequences of this problem and ICT applications that foster an approximation to future realities is suggested. In addition, conscious and fair decision-making should be promoted on the basis of a transformative education that favors this thinking in interaction with other key competences in sustainability. The innovative rubric allows the evaluation of systemic thinking skills for the study of climate change, conceptualized from the interrelationships of the natural, social and economic dimensions and from its implications for life, on different geographical and temporal levels.
