Este estudio tiene como objetivo determinar los factores que afectan el proceso de identificación del talento deportivo iraní. Teniendo en cuenta la naturaleza exploratoria del tema, se utilizó el método de investigación cualitativa y el enfoque de teorización basado en los datos. Primero, a través de los estudios iniciales y la revisión sistemática de los recursos relacionados, se identificó el inventario de signos efectivos. Posteriormente, se realizaron 23 entrevistas semiestructuradas dirigidas a expertos mediante el método de la bola de nieve. Las entrevistas continuaron hasta alcazar la saturación teórica. Los resultados de la codificación abierta indicaron que se extrajeron 145 signos primarios y 57 signos finales. En la codificación axial, los signos finales se clasificaron en 18 conceptos y 7 categorías principales. En consecuencia, se determinaron las categorías identificadas, incluidas las condiciones ambientales, las cuestiones individuales, culturales y sociales, la infraestructura, el sistema de gestión, la participación en los deportes y las partes interesadas clave. Los gerentes deportivos del país pueden usar los conceptos y categorías identificados para sus planes futuros con el fin de desarrollar la identificación del talento. This study aimed to determine the factors affecting the process of Iranian sport talent identification. Considering the exploratory nature of the subject, the qualitative research method and the theorizing approach based on the data were used. First, through the initial studies and the systematic review of related resources, the inventory of effective signs was identified. Subsequently, 23 targeted semi-structured interviews with experts were conducted through snowball method. The interviews continued to reach the theoretical saturation. The open coding results indicated that 145 primary signs and 57 final signs were extracted. In the axial coding, the final signs were classified into 18 concepts and 7 main categories. Consequently, the identified categories including environmental conditions, individual, cultural, and social issues, infrastructure, management system, participation in sports, and key stakeholders were determined. The country sports managers can use the identified concepts and categories for their future plans in order to develop talent identification.

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 This paper aims to provide a primary contribution to the halal tourism industry by presenting a crisis and disaster management framework based on Islamic teachings. Design/methodology/approach To develop the framework, a systematic review was conducted using the grounded theory step as an analytical framework through tracing papers from 2000 to 2020. The first step was to carry out an open coding by collecting extracted concepts and categories. Furthermore, axial coding was carried out to connect among the categories. Selective coding was conducted to all identified categories, and they were then integrated to develop a framework. The results obtained are three selected coding, eight axial coding and 55 open coding. Findings The result indicates that Islam teaches much principles, behavioral responses and psychological responses to crises and disasters. However, it is not neatly arranged in a modern crisis and disaster management concept. In addition, the advantage for halal tourism is that Muslims make Islamic teachings the foundation of social and community resilience in the face of disasters. Research limitations/implications The research findings also provide the knowledge to the tourism planners and academicians in overcoming the crises and disasters. Originality/value This paper provides a crisis and disaster management framework with additional decision-making concepts using a maqasid matrix.

This study aimed to understand the experience of caring for a child with a congenital anomaly from the family's perspective. Symbolic Interactionism and Grounded Theory were the theoretical and methodological references, respectively. Data collection was carried out with eight families with children having congenital anomalies through semi-structured interviews and participating observation. Data analysis reached axial coding. Results revealed two phenomena in the experience of families in delivering care to children with congenital anomalies - Facing an initially difficult experience and suffering eases over time. We concluded that the understanding of this experience supports the need to reconsider the nursing care provided to families in the care of children with congenital anomalies.

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.

ABSTRACT The study aimed to understand the intervening conditions in the interactions of nurses in managing the nursing care for hospitalized children with chronic conditions. To do that, it used Complex Thinking and Grounded Theory as theoretical and methodological references, respectively. Eighteen subjects participated in the study, pooled into three sample groups: nurses, nursing technicians, and their families. A semi-structured interview was used for data collection. Data analysis followed three stages of coding: open, axial, and selective. The study considered family members, professional experience, the physical structure of the unit, human and material resources, good mood, job satisfaction, confidence, dialogue, and empathy as conditions that influence nurses' interactions in care management. It found that subjective, cognitive, socio-cultural and institutional conditions influence the interactions of nurses, creating order/disorder in nursing care management.

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand, from the perspective of complexity, the factors related to communication for the management of the nursing care before the death and dying of hospitalized people. Method: the Complex Thought and Grounded Theory were used as theoretical and methodological references, respectively. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews, from May 2015 to January 2016, with three sample groups, totaling 41 participants: nurses, nursing technicians and members of the multidisciplinary team of a public hospital in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The data analysis followed the steps of open, axial and selective coding. Results: the management of the nursing care before the terminality and death involves a complex process of communication among patient, relatives and professionals, in which the interactions are permeated by the meanings of the end of life. Subjective, educational, sociocultural and institutional conditions influence nurses' interactions, generating order/disorder in the management of care. Conclusion: communication represents an important challenge for nursing management because it involves different actors, given the context of uncertainties and affectivities in the process of death and dying. It is important to emphasize the importance of the nurses being open to communication with these people, because this process requires complex actions regarding the demand for training and permanent education, as well as interdisciplinary action to guarantee humanization and comprehensive care.

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.
