Group Diversity

One of the basic assumptions underlying all traditional definitions is that diversity is a characteristic of an individual or a group, which is a problematic to groupwork. This paper explores Phases 1 and 2 of a multi-method research project exploring groupworkers’ understandings of diversity and how their perceptions impact their approach to group processes, with implications for group practice advancement. The project consists of sequential phases following a mixed-methods design. In the initial phase, in-depth semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted individually with 24 groupworkers. While the second phase (phase two) consisted of 4 focus groups involving theoretical and criterion sampling strategies to interview experienced therapeutically-oriented groupworkers in Western and Eastern Canada. The analysis was guided by Glaser and Strauss’s (1967) constant comparative method involving open-coding, followed by axial coding, and concluded with selective coding. Groupworkers reported feeling overwhelmed and, in some cases, “paralyzed” by the complex diversity present in their groups. These findings suggest attention to group diversity renders it potentially more relevant and salient. We also found the levels and complexity of diversity increased as the reflection by groupworkers deepened. In keeping with the traditional aims of groupwork, attending to diversity goes beyond the group to include responses to diversity in the organizational and community contexts. Dialogue and change in organizational responses to diversity is important in the areas of organizational climate, allocation of resources, and agency policy and procedures. Accordingly, offering groupworkers and members tools to attend and navigate diversity in situ is a first step towards recognizing its presence and importance. A critical step in moving forward is to examine the nuances of diversity and move beyond thinking of diversity in terms of demographic variables.

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to focus on the issue of paradigms in human resource development (HRD) and validate the HRD cube as a synthesized model of HRD praxis and to explicate some of the extant paradigms of HRD. Design/methodology/approach – The study was carried out by examining the text of articles published in Academy of Human Resource Development (AHRD)-sponsored journals over a specific period. Sixteen articles published in AHRD-sponsored journals were treated as if they were the representative voice(s) of their author(s). Data units were axially coded and sorted into one of seven pre-determined categories based on the axioms of theory, research and practice. Then, data units were open coded using the constant comparative method, and themes were developed. Findings – Axial coding results identified a dominant emphasis on practice. The accumulation of units representing research and theory were comparatively smaller. Evidence of shared perspectives was found that emphasized the practice axiom. Open coding results identified representative themes within each of the axiom-based categories of theory, research and practice. Six themes developed in the theory category, nine themes developed in the research category and six themes developed in the practice category. Originality/value – The results support the overall construction of the HRD cube. Given the initial validation and support of the HRD cube and of the components described within the theory, research and practice sides within these 16 articles published in AHRD-sponsored journals, at least 18 prospective paradigms of HRD were identified.

La presente investigación analiza el rol del docente, en el contexto de educación superior, considerando los cambios acontecidos por la contingencia de la enfermedad Covid-19, la cual obligó a proseguir el proceso educativo de forma virtual en todo el mundo. El contexto del estudio se circunscribe en dos universidades públicas latinoamericanas ubicadas en México y Costa Rica; la investigación se desarrolla desde la metodología de la Teoría Fundamentada, integrando la entrevista en profundidad como técnica de recogida de información. El análisis de los datos se basa en el método comparativo constante, considerando el primer momento como descriptivo, el cual permite la codificación abierta y en el segundo momento, el relacional, que permite la codificación axial y selectiva generando una matriz de codificación. Los principales hallazgos explican el rol del docente en procura de responder a las urgentes medidas adoptadas por las instituciones educativas, en la que el educador debe enmarcar el proceso educativo desde una virtualidad total para el desarrollo de los contenidos. The present investigation analyzes the role of the teacher, in the context of higher education, considering the changes occurred by the contingency of the Covid-19 disease, which forced to continue the educational process virtually throughout the world. The context of the study is circumscribed in two Latin American public universities located in Mexico and Costa Rica; The research is developed from the methodology of the grounded theory, integrating in-depth interview as a technique for collecting information. The data analysis is based on the constant comparative method, considering the first moment as descriptive, which allows open coding and the second, relational, which allows selective and axial coding, generating a coding matrix. The main findings seek to explain the role of the teacher in trying to respond to the urgent measures of educational institutions, in which the teacher must be framed in the educational process from a total virtuality for the development of content.

Makerspaces are a relatively new phenomenon that seem to create an innovative environment for individuals to work on projects and learn about technology. This article presents a grounded theory study, which investigates the impact that makerspaces have on innovation. Strauss and Corbin’s grounded theory methodology is used to research this exploratory topic. The data sample consists of 16 interviews of members of a makerspace in Shanghai, China. Data analysis was conducted abiding by Strauss and Corbin’s coding framework, entailing open coding, axial coding, and selective coding as well as coding tools, such as the coding paradigm and the conditional matrix. Collaborative learning was identified as the core phenomenon of this research, and The Collaborative Learning and its Outcomes Theory was created. The emergent theory contributes to the understanding of how makerspaces impact outcomes, such as innovation and venture creation, as well as explain how collaborative learning in conjunction with other modes of learning can facilitate learning at various complexities. As such, this study’s contributions are in developing the theoretical understanding of makerspaces as well as collaborative learning. It offers managerial and pedagogical implications that can help create learning environments where collaborative learning is fostered.

PurposeThis study explores the influencing factors affecting smart supply chain innovation (SSCI) performance of commodity distribution enterprises, and proposes the corresponding framework from the perspective of the application of technology to improve the SSCI performance and make up the research gap in this field.Design/methodology/approachA multi-case study method is adopted in this study. Four distribution commodity distribution enterprises A, B, C and D in China are chosen as case enterprises. The interviews with senior management team members are used to collect data. The combination of open coding and axial coding are used to process the data. By testing the reliability and validity, the theoretical framework is summarized.FindingsFirst, we find that the technology application cost inhibits SSCI and that the level of technology suitable for enterprise development will promote SSCI. Second, SSCI in structure, management and services can improve the performance and innovation ability of enterprises. Third, the quality of multi-channel integration and degree of customization around customer demand can significantly modify the above effects.Originality/valueCompared with previous studies, this study reveals for the first time the correlation between the SSCI performance and technology application, SSCI in structure, management and service, providing new ideas for relevant researches on SSCI, and providing new theoretical support for managers' decision-making related to SSCI.

Aims: Using qualitative interviews, this study explored the experiences of GPs, vocational advisers and patients towards a new vocational advice (VA) service in primary care. Methods: This study was nested within the Study of Work and Pain (SWAP) cluster randomised controlled trial. The SWAP trial located a VA service within three general practices in Staffordshire. Interviews took place with 10 GPs 12 months after the introduction of the VA service, four vocational advisers whilst the VA service was running and 20 patients on discharge from the VA service. The data were analysed using the constant comparative method, which is a variation of grounded theory. Results: The key factors determining the acceptability and perceived effectiveness of the VA service from the perspective of the three groups of stakeholders were (1) the timing of referrals to the VA, (2) the perceived lack of patient demand for the service and (3) role uncertainty experienced by VAs. Conclusions: Early vocational intervention may not be appropriate for all musculoskeletal patients with work difficulties. Indeed, many patients felt they did not require the support of a VA, either because they had self-limiting work difficulties and/or already had support mechanisms in place to return to work. Future VA interventions may be better implemented in a targeted way so that appropriate patients are identified with characteristics which can best be addressed by the VA service.

This major research project explores the extent to which normative and informational influences exerted by core and significant ties differ between social media and in-person contexts. Specifically, it focuses on how such influences persuade recreational athletes to buy sports products. Though normative and informational influences from a variety of personal ties have been studied in online and offline settings, they are seldom explicitly compared and contrasted. Moreover, recreational athletes and sports products have never been the subject of such studies. Based on qualitative interviews with six recreational athletes between the ages of 18 and 30, this study uses a content analysis with open coding to identify significant themes. The findings indicate that although in-person normative influence to buy sports products is easily identifiable, normative influence on social media is more difficult to detect. Yet regardless of the context, normative influence is powered by one’s desire for inclusion into a group. On the other hand, informational influence in the form of product recommendations does not differ between the examined settings. Thorough recommendations are more sought after than pithy ones, experts challenge recommendations and those who do not know much about a given product will seek information from experts. However, the findings also indicate that informational influence in the form of observation and analysis is preferred in offline situations compared with online ones. It is therefore clear that separate facets of normative and informational influence each present unique similarities or dissimilarities between in-person and social media settings.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskrisikan konstruksi sosial pemimpin atas tradisi Giri Kedaton sebagai identitas sosial budaya masyarakat Kabupaten Gresik. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Kabupaten Gresik Jawa Timur dengan menggunakan paradigma interpretatif dan pendekatan kualitatif. Data diperoleh dari sumber primer dan sekunder. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi nonpartisipan, wawancara, dan dokumentasi, dan teknik purposive sampling. Analisis data dilakukan melalui open coding, axial coding, dan selective coding, sedangkan analisis data melalui persistent observation, triangulation, member check and peer reviewing, dan referencial adequacy check. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa: identitas sosial sebagai realitas adalah ciptaan manusia kreatif melalui kekuatan konstuksi sosial di sekitarnya yang dikuatkan oleh hadirnya leader melalui regulasi pendukungnya.  Proses penguatan identitas yang dilakukan melalui otoritas leader lebih efektif daripada pembentukan identitas oleh masyarakat. Konstruksi sosial atas realitas cenderung berlangsung melalui leader secara hirarkis-vertikal, bersifat spasial, yaitu berlangsung dari pimpinan kepada bawahannya. Berpijak dari teori konstruksi sosial atas realitas Peter L. Berger dan Luckman dengan melihat variabel leader menjadi sangat substansi dalam proses eksternalisasi, objektivasi, dan internalisasi, maka dapat dikatakan bahwa sifat dan kelebihan leader sebagai agen dalam proses eksternalisasi, objektivasi, dan internalisasi telah memperbaiki proses konstruksi sosial atau realitas yang berjalan lambat.

Perdebatan panjang yang terjadi dalam pengembangan konsep konseling islam oleh para ahli dari berbagai negara menjadi isu aktual yang menarik untuk dibahas. Hal ini memperjelas kemana arah pengembangan konsep konseling islam, sehingga ditemukan ciri khas dari apa yang sebenarnya dikaji dalam konseling islam. Penelitian ini membahas tentang perdebatan tersebut yang bertujuan untuk memetakan konsep konseling islam dari berbagai ahli, dengan menggunakan 3 artikel utama dari 3 tokoh yang memiliki pendekatan berbeda dalam mengembangkan konsep konseling islam. Metode penelitian yang digunakan ialah analisis isi (content analysis), yakni proses penguraian data, pengkonsepan, dan penyusunan kembali dengan cara baru. Langkah-langkah yang ditempuh dalam analisis isi meliputi, Open coding, axial coding, dan selective coding.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengembangan konsep konseling islami merupakan suatu hal yang baru dalam dunia konseling. Oleh karena itu, sudah sewajarnya apabila dalam proses pengembangannya menuai pro dan kontra dari pihak-pihak pendahulu yang sudah memiliki metodologi dan konsep keilmuan yang sudah teruji, baik secara teoritis maupun praktis. Pihak-pihak yang kontra dengan pengembangan ini ialah mereka yang tidak mengakui adanya dimensi spiritualitas yang menjadi sasaran utama dalam konsep konseling islami, beberapa diantaranya ialah Freudian, Adlerian, dan lain-lain. Adapun pihak yang terus memperjuangkan pengembangan konsep konseling islami ialah para cendekiawan muslim yang sebagian besar berasal dari Afrika Selatan, Asia, dan Amerika. Dalam mengembangkannya pun tidak sedikit dari mereka yang menemukan hasil yang berbeda. Hal ini disebabkan oleh penggunaan sudut pandang atau pendekatan yang berbeda dalam merumuskan konsep konseling islami. Keadaan seperti ini semakin memperkuat posisi pengembangan ini sebagai isu dalam dunia konseling. Kata Kunci: Konsep, Konseling, Konseling Islam.
