Education Management

The purpose of the study is to identify the problem areas in education management and the opportunities to apply positive management tools. The authors believe that it is possible to diminish the issues related to authoritarian education management by using the tools and principles of positive psychology, specifically, positive management connected to addressing the human factor. The authors note the inefficiency of strict and regulated methods of education management as it often requires unorthodox, original solutions. The article contains the results of the pilot study of education workers’ subjective perception of a positive management tool – engagement. The survey method has been utilized for the study. The analysis of the data has resulted in the following conclusions: 1) it has been found that the positive management tools identified through the analysis are insufficiently used in education management; 2) the identified problem areas in education management are related to expectations for work, satisfaction with the evaluation and feedback, interpersonal relations, as well as career and development.

Person Centered Approach

Modern social and cultural reality forces the heads of medical institutions to pay increased attention to the human factor, rethinking such basic concepts as «management» and «organization». It is important to cultivate the most comfortable person-centered work environment in medical teams. The main goal of this article was to demonstrate the feasibility of using robust management to maintain the constant attention of the medical administration on the interpersonal relations of employees. The article contains a brief description of robust management tools, a description of the person-centered approach, as well as examples of the use of robust regulators and socionic profiling estimators. The potential of robust management is not revealed when the management simply declares its merits, but when the entire medical team wants and can use it, actively involved in achieving the desired result.

This paper presents two renovation management tools that are currently being developed in BIM4EEB project: BIMPlanner—a planning and management tool for housing renovation projects —and BIM4Occupants—a coordination tool between contractors and occupants. An information-sharing layer, based on ontologies and linked data technologies, is an essential technical enabler of these tools. The layer allows data sharing across the different components of the toolkit. The tools aim to enhance information sharing between renovation stakeholders and to enrich BIM data with links to other relevant data in renovation projects.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to identify the relationships between grain farm and farmer profiles and their respective choices to use forward pricing techniques and revenue protection crop insurance to manage risk.Design/methodology/approachAn e-mail survey of Midwestern grain farmers elicited farmer demographic information, farm profile, risk attitudes and farmer use of forward pricing and revenue protection insurance. Responses regarding use of risk management tools were compiled as choices to use possible bundles of tools to account for simultaneous nature of the decision. Choices to use bundles of tools were used as the independent variable categories in a multinomial logit regression. Regressors were relevant data collected from the survey.FindingsFarm size, using a market advisory service, and being a technology adopter are the most important factors in predicting risk management tool use by grain farmers. Farmers tend to use forward pricing and revenue protection insurance in combination. Large farms are more likely to use forward pricing tools.Practical implicationsResults provide researchers, extension professionals and risk management specialists with a current understanding of how farm and farmer characteristics relate to use of risk management tools. The authors also elaborate on findings to provide guidance for future risk management research.Originality/valueThe survey covered 9 Midwestern states and 648 grain farmers. The survey results update understanding of grain farmers’ risk management practices. The empirical approach treats risk management decisions to use available tools as simultaneous, which recent literature suggests is more appropriate than earlier approaches.

Research Findings

In September 2000, the Population Council launched a nine-month project to test the effectiveness of teams of “policy champions” to increase the utilization of operations research (OR) findings in reproductive health (RH) policy and programs in the Philippines. The team members, chosen from government, nongovernment, academic, and media institutions, received three days of orientation to become policy champions. The strategy was built upon evidence that local decision-makers in decentralized health systems often have little knowledge of RH, and rarely use research findings in their decision-making. The effort focused on using a research-tested community-based monitoring and information system to help providers identify and respond to unmet need for family planning. As noted in this brief, the approach of involving teams of mobilized policy champions proved effective at influencing program managers to use a research-tested information system for identifying clients with unmet need for family planning. This approach was adopted by regional and national organizations, which plan to expand use of the management tool.
