Mental Models, Moral Imagination and System Thinking in the Age of Globalization: A Post-Colonial Proposal

Masalah pada penelitian ini adalah bahwa mahasiswa kurang memahami konsep berorganisasi itu sendiri. Konsep organisasi yang harus mereka pahami adalah konsep organisasi pembelajaran. Sehingga, dalam menjalankan roda organisasi mereka seperti ”bingung”. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian survey dengan jenis penelitian deskriptif. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh mahasiswa Universitas Kuningan. Teknik sampling yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Purposive Sampling. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner,Hasil penelitian, maka dapat diketahui mengenai gambaran learning organization pada mahasiswa di Universitas Kuningan. Skor rata-rata diperoleh sebesar 4.1624, hal ini menunjukkan gambaran learning organization pada mahasiswa di Universitas Kuningan sudah baik. Berdasarkan hasil pengolahan angket dapat diketahui bahwa nilai rata-rata terendah terdapat pada indicator system thinking dengan nilai sebesar 4.0423 dan nilai rata-rata tertinggi terdapat pada indicator mental models dengan nilai sebesar 4.4036.Berdasarkan hasil penelitian melalui penyebaran kuesioner, dapat kita ketahui bersama bahwa rata-rata nilai angket terendah diperoleh pada indicator personal mastery pada item No. 09. Maka, dalam hal ini perlu sekali meningkatkan kesadaran anggota organisasi dalam mengutamakan kepentingan organisasi dibandingkan kepentingan pribadi. Selain itu, untuk pengembangan penelitian selanjutnya dapat ditekankan pada upaya peningkatan kemampuan system thinking. Selain itu, dapat juga dilihat pengaruhnya terhadap kompetensi, komitmen, kinerja, maupun variabel lainnya yang terkait.

Neutral Ground

Our Mindfulness into Action (MIA) research includes indigenous practices in exploring the potential for developing reflective leaders. When conducting research, Flood (2006) describes the system thinking approach as having two components: system thinking and systemic thinking. Understanding the difference between these two influences would provide a more comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon (intangible) and how it relates to research. System thinking is objective (tangible). This objective data is measured by quantitative and qualitative research method approaches. On the other hand, systemic thinking is subjective (intangible) as in the case with our taken-for-granted assumptions, which in this dissertation are measured qualitatively. The power of effective problem solving not only involves efficiency (tangible data), but also evaluates perspectives. Scholars such as, Senge (1990) describes this involuntary habitual life as mental models, yet we continue to operate within “the Veil” (Du Bois, 1989). Peter Senge (1990) questions if we are prisoners of the system or prisoners of our own thinking. In his book “The Fifth Discipline” he describes mental models as deeply engrained assumptions, generalizations or even pictures or images that influence how we understand the world and how we take action. If we can identify our mental models, this information can help in appreciating the forces that are shaping reality and how we are part of those forces and therefore, we can in turn affect them. Identifying our mental models allows for a neutral ground where different perspectives can meet to find a possible solution to the issue at hand. As participants identify their mental models, we describe the data from a MIA exploratory study; this chapter develops in four dimensions: subjectivity (e.g. mental models), objectivity (e.g. behavior), inter-subjectivity (e.g., culture), and inter-objectivity (e.g. systems).

The Impact

Much has been written about the impact of chronic conditions on post-colonial indigenous populations. Much less, however, has been written about indigenous knowledge and how it may help tackle poor health statistics among indigenous populations. This article describes two approaches to obesity prevention that are grounded in Mātauranga Māori (Māori worldview), both of which challenge the “person-centred” approach so prevalent in Western approaches. These approaches were mapped using Systems Thinking tools, specifically causal loop diagrams, to test whether or not these tools could be used to “translate” indigenous approaches in a way that retained the integrity of their particular worldview and provided a tool to help those communities reflect on their practices in a way that led to new insights. Systems Thinking was found to have many overlaps with Mātauranga Māori, and the use of system thinking tools provided mutually beneficial learning opportunities for both the researchers and the communities involved.

The Impact

Learning organization refers to an organization that encourages its individuals to learn and consistently change its form. Organizations give both formal and casual procedures and structures for securing, sharing and utilization of information and abilities. Learning organizations come about due to pressures that are faced in the modern time organizations and vest these organizations to retain their aggressiveness in the business world. The learning organization urges organizations to move to a more interconnected mindset. Organizations ought to wind up more like networks that workers and its members can feel a responsibility towards them. The site of the investigation was at G4S Kenya Limited in Mombasa County. The specific objective was to determine the consequences of learning organization on the execution of G4S Kenya limited. The study was then guided by the following objectives; to find out the impact of systems thinking on performance of an organization, to determine how personal mastery affects the performance of an organization, to examine the influences of mental models on performance of an organization as well as to research on the impact of shared vision on performance of an organization. The study was guided by Argyris and Schön’s Theory and Systems Theory. The investigation was carried out on 150 representatives from G4S Kenya Limited. An adjusted Likert scale questionnaire separated into three (3) sections was created. A pilot study was done to fine-tune the instrument. Information gathered was reviewed on a PC by use of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS Version 22) for Windows. The collected data was then examined using statistical methods of frequencies and percentages, with the aid of MS Excel. Charts, tables and bar graphs were then used to present the information. The summary of the main component of the study conclusion was based upon the research objectives. The researcher deduced that a system thinking provides continuous learning opportunities in the organization; embraces creative tension as a source of energy and renewal, link individual performance with organizational performance. This is because the majority of the respondents indicated that system thinking link individual performance with organizational performance. This component scored highly on the adjusted Likert scale; a clear indication of the importance of system thinking on the performance of G4S Kenya Limited. The investigation on the influences of learning organization on the performance of G4S Kenya limited was recommended for further study since it has brought to light the effect of systems thinking, personal mastery, and mental models and shared vision on organization performance.

Child Friendly

The facts about the increasingly turbulent cases of children make education. institutions more serious about running child-friendly schools (SRA). The term SRA contains a meaning that is still very abstract and needs technical-political arguments as well as patterns of systematic application to describe it. Therefore, through the learning organization (LO) with the theoretical approach of The Fifth Discipline Peter M. Senge and Organizational Learning Model Michael J. Marquardt can further produce visionmission alignment, the formation of mental models and system thinking, as a very integral part in building understanding and implementation of SRA in a more holisticintegrative manner. Because solving wholly various cases and integrated certainly cannot be done alone, cooperations with many parties, both in the scope of micro, meso, exo and macro are necessarily allied. This becomes a responsive step as well as preventive way against various acts of crime and violence in children around us

Pondok pesantren yang menjadi cerminan bagi lembaga pendidikan lainnya dalam masalah perbaikan sikap, memiliki beban tugas yang sangat penting dalam pendidikan karakter. Namun, gasab yang merupakan sikap yang kurang terpuji, masih menjadi trend di beberapa pesantren. Untuk mengubah kebiasaan tersebut, maka perlu adanya organisasi pembelajaran yang dapat mengubah karakter buruk santri tersebut. Agar organisasi pembelajaran dapat berjalan secara efektif maka dibutuhkan 1) visi bersama (shared vision), 2) berpikir sistem (system thinking), 3) belajar beregu (team learning), 4) penguasaan pribadi (personal matery), dan 5) model mental (mental models). Dalam mengubah karakter tersebut, agar santri menerima perubahan yang dilakukan maka pesantren perlu menerapkan model manajemen perubahan, yang terdiri dari 1) The Choice Process, 2) The Trajectory Process, 3) The Change Process.

The increased level of information and psychological pressure recently has greatly influenced the mental culture of medical management and has caused a need for coverage of issues related to the discipline of systemic thinking. It turned out that teaching a person to think in a disciplined and systematic way is very difficult. Cliched mental models impede the spread of innovative diagnostic and treatment technologies. The success of any medical organization is impossible without a mental culture based on the discipline of thinking of stakeholders. The use of socionic typology allows the systematic management of production activities, starting from the natural forms of thinking of their infotypes. At the center of the mental culture of medical management should be the idea of socionically verified systemic thinking, disciplining it on the basis of reflective mechanisms.
