The essential resource for all organizations, mostly educational hospitals, for coping with changes is training of human resources. Staff training is accepted not only as an inevitable necessity for the growth and survival of the organization but also as part of the culture of the organization. That is why the research's main goal is to extract and classify concepts in the training of Staff the method of study was qualitative and had an inductive approach. In this regard, after reviewing the research context using semi-structured interviews, the data collected and analyzed. Considering this research's purpose, which is to design a staff-training model in educational hospitals, in-depth interviews were conducted with 13 experts in this field. In three stages, open coding, axial coding, and selective coding were performed. The thematic analysis technique was used to analyze the data from researchers' interviews in a peaceful environment and identify the model. A further advantage, particularly from learning and teaching, is that it is a method rather than a methodology. To ensure the Quality of the findings, the process of extracting concepts and coding monitored by expert researchers. Based on the results obtained from the software, training needs, training targets, training methods, training effectiveness, and educational hospitals identified by 58 codes. The results show that assessing needs of educational hospitals is the highest priority for staff training criteria.

Research on library use has been carried out with the results that the level of library use by digital natives is still relatively low. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that cause digital native users to use or not use a library. The method of this study use a descriptive qualitative research methods, and total of 341 digital natives in 25 cities in East Java were given open questions to express their experiences when using a library, resulting in 991 answers (respondents answered more than 1 opinion about the library). The data analysis technique was carried out in 3 stages namely open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The result of this study found something new that the main factor of library use or not use is service quality (68.9 %) not from external factor, where users prioritise comfort while in the library, even though the internet as a library rival and as a source of information offers the speed and ease of access to information. Because of that innovation is done by improving the factors that cause users to use or not use the library.

This study aims to analyze the dynamic process of coopetition between an established organization and startups to develop innovation. We conducted an exploratory, qualitative study, based on Grounded Theory. The Grounded Theory allows the development of a theory emerging from data that is simultaneously collected and analyzed, determining the categories to observe the core questions. It can be divided into two stages: initial coding (open and axial coding) and focused coding. In the open coding, are defined categories and subcategories that are reviewed in the axial coding to generate more precise explanations? Along with the focused coding, the data organized from initial coding is categorized for an analytical understanding of the phenomena. In the first stage, we conducted eight semi-structured interviews with a homogeneous sample. An interview guide addressing coopetition factors was developed. As a result, we developed a framework from the theoretical background. This framework was evaluated by three executives and professors with experience in coopetition between large corporations and startups. The snowball technique was used to recruit the participants. Our findings reveal that different factors – market increase, strategic alignment, and technological alignment – are associated. We observed that coopetition not only helps in developing new markets but also in understanding the user demands of these markets. Thus, coopetition is an accelerator of innovation, since it allows the identification of the resource complementarity and technological scale gains.

Introduction: Choosing an emotional partner is an important occasion that profoundly affects various aspects of life; however, many relationships fail, and people face a vicious cycle of unhealthy and harmful relationships. Objective: This study aimed to explain the concept of re-experiencing harmful relationships. Materials and Methods: This research is a qualitative study done with the Grounded Theory (GT) approach done using the purposive sampling method until data saturation. Data collection methods included semi-structured interviews, observations, and field notes. In this study, 8 victims of harmful relationships and 8 psychologists were interviewed. Each interview lasted 25 to 55 minutes and was digitally recorded. Data analysis was performed along with data collection by Strauss and Corbin’s constant comparative analysis. Using Lincoln and Guba criteria, the accuracy and strength of this research were confirmed. Results: The open coding results indicated that 47 concepts could effectively frame the pattern of re-experiencing unhealthy relationships. In the axial coding stage, the concepts were classified into 8 general categories. Finally, in the selective coding stage, the phenomenon of “harmful relationships” was extracted as a significant category. The central coding paradigm consisted of 8 key features: perceived violence, psychological symptoms, unhealthy relationship strategies, dark personality traits, emotion regulation problems, retention factors, family harms, self-breaking behaviors. Each includes subclasses with specific characteristics. Conclusion: The results showed that harmful relationships are complex, dynamic, continuous, and intervened with the contextual conditions, retention factors, causal conditions, and intervening conditions. So it is necessary to develop and present psychological programs and interventions based on these problems.

Purpose Non-performance should be addressed urgently given the high associated costs: on average, 17 percent of management time is spent overseeing non-performing employees, thus distracting managers from important business issues and initiatives and, non-performers can reduce productivity by as much as 30–40 percent. Though many organizations recognize the importance of dealing effectively with non-performers, this remains difficult in practice for various reasons, including cultural aspects. The purpose of this paper is to answer the following question: What are some of the ways for managers in different national cultures to deal effectively with non-performers? Design/methodology/approach To collect the necessary data, semi-structured interviews were conducted with managers of profit and non-profit companies in different countries. After the interviews were transcribed, key themes and patterns were identified by manual open coding. The collected data were disaggregated into conceptual units and provided with labels. After significant themes and issues were identified, axial coding was used to look for relationships between the data categories that had emerged from open coding. Findings There are two main culture-independent findings. First, clarity is needed when managers give assignments to and set expectations for employees. Thereafter, managers should monitor employee performance and give immediate feedback when employees make mistakes. Second, this feedback needs to take the form of true two-way dialogue between the manager and employees: the manager needs to listen to employees’ situation and what they want and need as development opportunities to progress. These findings in itself are not earth-shattering but still important for two reasons: the findings are culture-independent and can thus be seen as generic approaches for dealing with non-performers in many (most) cultural settings; and in practice the authors still see many managers ignoring these activities while dealing with non-performers, making them less effective than they could and should be. In this respect, the findings serve as a reminder not only of the fact that these activities still are the most effective in order to deal with non-performers, but also point out how important they are as they are effective in many cultural settings. Practical implications In practical terms, the results should assist managers in various cultural settings to determine if there are non-performers in their organizations, identify the causes of their non-performance and apply interventions to effectively tackle the issue. Originality/value The research contributes to the literature by examining topics such as how to define non-performers, how they can be recognized from their behavior, what causes their non-performance and how national cultures influence the management of non-performers.

Objective: An increase in post-marital relationships has had adverse consequences. One of the consequences is family dissolution and the breakdown of social units (families). The present study aimed to study the processes and contextual factors of marital infidelity. Methods: This qualitative study was conducted using the grounded theory method. The research population included couples who experienced marital infidelity. A total of 32 participants were selected using the purposive sampling method in 2019. We conducted semi-structured interviews with the participants to collect the study data, and the interviews continued until the data saturation. The collected data were systematically analyzed in three stages of open, axial, and selective coding. Results: Analysis of the data collected revealed 51 codes extracted through open coding. Then, the extracted codes were merged into 10 categories via axial coding. These categories included four themes: the formation of the context of marital infidelity, predictions of marital infidelity, engaging in marital infidelity, and the consequences of marital infidelity. Conclusion: Given that marital infidelity is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon, the insights from this study can be used to develop models to identify and prevent predictors of marital infidelity.

This study aimed to determine the factors that influence student learning comfort in the classroom and its distribution. This explorative study employed 772 students who were elementary school, junior high school, and senior high school students in several Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta schools. Data collection techniques using open questionnaires. The data analysis technique uses qualitative analysis which consists of three stages: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The results showed that the factors that influence learning comfort of students in the classroom include: air circulation, quietness, cleanliness, adequate & supportive facilities, and peer attendance. These five factors are among other factors that are grouped into two: 1) factors originating from the physical environment (of building & site themes and of indoor space themes); and 2) factors from within its occupants (of human themes). The theme that shows the highest influence comes from the physical conditions in the classroom, that is indoor space themes.

Project Coordination

Combined utility streetworks involve cable and pipeline owners and authorities that concurrently undertake work in the same physical space. In this networked project setting, ownership fragmentation and lacking formal coordination instruments complicate the integration of multi-stakeholder engineering and construction operations. Boundary spanners have a unique position to pursue integration in this complex system. To understand what it is that constitutes their practices, we explore them through Mintzberg’s seminal framework of informational, interpersonal, and decisional roles. Specifically, we extend the framework to the context of boundary spanning in networked projects by conducting semi-structured interviews with seven boundary spanners of combined utility streetworks: the so-called utility coordinators. Based on open coding of the interview data, we identified 149 performed activities, and twenty-three lower-level management roles (such as involving stakeholders; facilitating formal processes; and, creating a collective memory). Next, axial coding allowed us to tailor Mintzberg’s role model to networked project settings. Based on this, we reflect on how a setting that lacks formal coordination instruments influences the roles that boundary spanners adopt. This empirical study of coordination in networked projects contributes a case to the practice turn literature that calls for explorations of everyday organizational practices in their situated context. Other contributions are the extension of Mintzberg’s framework to networked projects; and, the development of two hypotheses about the position and roles of utility coordinators. Eventually, our findings may help practitioners identify what interpersonal and informational skills they need to improve alignment in loosely connected project networks.
