Abstract

This paper reports the results of an evaluation of Human Achievement Skills training course conducted by the South Australian Education Department for 17 principals and deputies. The courses were based on a Carkhuff training model and were highly structured. Evaluation data were collected from three sources: interviews with participants three months after the completion of the courses; interviews with selected members of their staffs three months after the courses; and completion by staff of organisational climate questionnaires before the course and six months after the course. The evaluation showed significant changes in the behaviour of the principals and deputies in a number of areas of the H.A.S. course.

Abstract

There have been several new developments in overtime pay within the last decade. The term “overtimepay” was born when congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) in 1938. All new developments in overtime revolve around this Act. Immediately after this Act was passed, reform measures were underway. The recent issues that surround overtime include: Whom is exempt from overtime pay?; If employers dock employees for partial day absences does that entitle them to overtime pay?; Can employers give compensatory time in lieu of overtime pay?; And is it time to reform the 40‐hour work week?

Abstract

Analogies are used in all walks of life to help relate ideas, theories and feelings to other people. Uses cricket is used as an analogy to help throw light on the various aspects of business. These include strategy, marketing and sales principles. Also discusses leadership as well as the roles people play in teams (LIFO, life orientations) and how they may be influenced (influencing inventory). Examines the power, role, task and people types of culture in relation to the various different levels of cricket as well as the roles (Meredith Belbin) that the captain has to play in a typical league side. Discusses ethic, as cricket can offer an early introduction to dilemmas.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to provide an overview of the Boopsie product for creation of a mobile device application for deployment on all major mobile devices.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper reviews the experience of implementing this mobile app product at Bucks County Community College Library, including interfacing with the integrated library system and preexisting web‐based services.

Findings

Implementation of this product was done with ease, a minimum of staff time and was affordable. Usage is dispersed across a variety of mobile device networks.

Practical implications

Readers will understand how this product is utilized at Bucks and will see how this fits into an overall strategy of creating a sense of place for the mobile learner.

Originality/value

Abstract

Purpose

In 2009, the European Operations Management Association (EurOMA) celebrates its 15th anniversary and its precursor, the UK OMA, its 25th anniversary. The purpose of this paper is to review the origins and foundations of today's EurOMA and how it has progressed to being a vibrant and successful organisation.

Design/methodology/approach

The review draws on archived documents, especially newsletters and board minutes, as well as memories of all of those involved.

Findings

The review shows an important evolution from two groups of like minded individuals, through building annual conferences and brings these together as one. It then shows how it has evolved both through formalisation of its activities, building international links and, most importantly, developing a portfolio of activities to develop and support young researchers.

Research limitations/implications

Where records are not available, the paper draws on individual memories of events from a long time ago.

Originality/value

As well as providing an invaluable record, it can provide a model for the development of similar organisations.

Abstract

Purpose

Health systems are changing at variable rates. Periods of significant change can create new challenges or amplify existing barriers to accreditation program credibility and reliability. The purpose of this paper is to examine, during the transition to a new Australian accreditation scheme and standards, challenges to health service accreditation survey reliability, the salience of the issues and strategies to manage threats to survey reliability.

Design/methodology/approach

Across 2013-2014, a two-phase, multi-method study was conducted, involving five research activities (two questionnaire surveys and three group discussions). This paper reports data from the transcribed group discussions involving 100 participants, which was subject to content and thematic analysis. Participants were accreditation survey coordinators employed by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards.

Findings

Six significant issues influencing survey reliability were reported: accreditation program governance and philosophy; accrediting agency management of the accreditation process, including the program’s framework; survey coordinators; survey team dynamics; individual surveyors; and healthcare organizations’ approach to accreditation. A change in governance arrangements promoted reliability with an independent authority and a new set of standards, endorsed by Federal and State governments. However, potential reliability threats were introduced by having multiple accrediting agencies approved to survey against the new national standards. Challenges that existed prior to the reformed system remain.

Originality/value

Capturing lessons and challenges from healthcare reforms is necessary if improvements are to be realized. The study provides practical and theoretical strategies to promote reliability in accreditation programs.
