Abstract: This paper attempts to investigate how communications organization is conducted by Charoen Pokphand Company (a multinational poultry company) to stop the shifting of competitors’ employees amid the high tendency of the employees’ shifting to competitors’ company. This study uses explanatory case study as research method with single case design. The analysis is carried out from the perspectives of organizational culture and internal communications functions of the organization in maintaining the employees’ loyalty. An analysis of the employees’ shifting case id based on several notions that organizational culture is very influential on the process of communication within the organization (Ruppel and Harington 2000), how cultural management affects on the communication (Bordow and More in McKenna 2006), and the effects of cultural subsystems on the employees’ loyalty (Eskildsen and Nussler 2000). Literature studies and interviews are performed to obtain data on several cases of employees’ shifting which have happened at Charoen Pokphand Company. The informant is an employee who has worked at Charoen Pokphand Company for eleven years and is often received offers to move to other competitors’ company. Offers which give better position and salary turn out to be unappealing when compared to the organizational culture and communication processes which provide work comfort. Abstrak: Makalah ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui lebih jauh tentang bagaimana komunikasi organisasi yang dilakukan PT. Charoen Pokphand Indonesia (sebuah perusahaan pakan ternak multinasional) dalam upayanya mencegah migrasi karyawan kompetitor ditengah tingginya mobilitas migrasi karyawan ke perusahaan kompetitor. Metode studi kasus eksplanatori digunakan sebagai metode penelitian dan menggunakan desain studi kasus tunggal. Tulisan ini dibahas dari perspektif budaya organisasi dan fungsi komunikasi internal organisasi dalam memelihara loyalitas karyawan. Pembahasan terhadap kasus migrasi karyawan ini dilakukan dengan mendasarkan pada beberapa pendapat bahwa budaya organisasi sangat berpengaruh terhadap proses komunikasi dalam organisasi (Ruppel and Harrington 2000), bagaimana manajemen budaya berpengaruh pada komunikasi (Bordow and More in McKenna 2006) dan efek subsistem budaya terhadap loyalitas karyawan (Eskildsen and Nussler 2000). Studi literature dan dan wawancara digunakan untuk memperoleh data tentang beberapa kasus migrasi karyawan yang pernah terjadi di PT. Charoen Pokphand Indonesia. Informan adalah seorang karyawan PT. Charoen Pokphand Indonesia yang sudah bekerja selama 11 tahun dan sering mendapatkan tawaran untuk berpindah dari perusahaan PT. Charoen Pokphand Indonesia ke perusahaan kompetitor. Penawaran yang lebih memberikan posisi serta gaji yang lebih baik ternyata bukan tawaran yang menarik bila dibandingkan budaya organisasi dan proses komunikasi yang memberikan kenyamanan kerja.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the use of cognitive behavioural approaches to treat a gentleman with a learning disability who had been reported to the police for allegedly making contact with children using social media in an attempt to initiate a romantic relationship using a single case design. Design/methodology/approach An 11 session cognitive behavioural intervention was employed, comprising of index offence analysis, challenging distorted cognitions related to the offence, developing an internal focus for responsibility and psychoeducation with regards to “staying safe” online. Findings Follow up data demonstrated no improvements in victim empathy, nor in agreement ratings in terms of key cognitions associated with responsibility for offending behaviour. Research limitations/implications Whilst treatment efficacy was not established, this case study raises important questions that go beyond the single case design. Whilst the gentleman reported becoming “safer” in terms of initiating contact with unknown people via social media, this could not be substantiated, and is indicative of the cardinal difficulty of monitoring online recidivism. Generalisability of findings to the wider learning disability population is limited by a single case design. Originality/value This is the first published case study to the authors knowledge to evaluate cognitive behavioural approaches to reduce antisocial internet related behaviour in a forensic learning disability setting. Findings of considered within the context of the concept of minimisation of offending behaviour, the concept of “counterfeit deviance”, and also how best to measure therapeutic change within this population.

Selective Mutism (SM) is a rare but potentially debilitating disorder characterized by a lack of speech in certain settings where speaking is expected. This study examined the effectiveness of a shortened version (12 sessions over 18 weeks) of Integrated Behavior Therapy for Selective Mutism (IBTSM; Bergman, 2013) in increasing speech and relieving anxiety for two four-year-old males with SM via a replicated single-case design. Treatment effectiveness, integrity, and acceptability were measured at baseline, throughout treatment, and at a three-month follow-up. Treatment integrity was excellent for both cases. SM severity ratings decreased from baseline to end-of-treatment, and again at follow-up, for each case. Verbal communication increased at end-of-treatment and follow-up, and significant decreases in social anxiety were seen across both cases by the three-month follow-up. Parents rated the shortened IBTSM as highly acceptable, effective, and efficient. Future studies should explore the effectiveness of varying lengths of IBTSM.

Purpose This study evaluated the effects of an automated, small-group intervention designed to teach preschoolers challenging vocabulary words. Previous studies have provided evidence of efficacy. In this study, we evaluated the effects of the program after doubling the number of words taught from 2 to 4 words per book. Method Seventeen preschool children listened to 1 prerecorded book per week for 9 weeks. Each storybook had embedded, interactive lessons for 4 target vocabulary words. Each lesson provided repeated exposures to words and their definitions, child-friendly contexts, and multiple opportunities for children to respond verbally to instructional prompts. Participants were asked to define the weekly targeted vocabulary before and after intervention. A repeated acquisition single-case design was used to examine the effects of the books and embedded lessons on learning of target vocabulary words. Results Treatment effects were observed for all children across many of the books. Learning of at least 2 points (i.e., 1 word) was replicated for 74.5% of 149 books tested across the 17 participants. On average, children learned to define 47% of the target vocabulary words (17 out of 36). Conclusions Results support including 4 challenging words per book, as children learned substantially more words when 4 words were taught, in comparison to previous studies. Within an iterative development process, results of the current study take us 1 step closer to creating an optimal vocabulary intervention that supports the language development of at-risk children.

Purpose We report on a replicated single-case design study that measured the feasibility of an expressive vocabulary intervention for three Cantonese-speaking toddlers with small expressive lexicons relative to their age. The aim was to assess the cross-cultural and cross-linguistic feasibility of an intervention method developed for English-speaking children. Method A nonconcurrent multiple-baseline design was used with four baseline data points and 16 intervention sessions per participant. The intervention design incorporated implicit learning principles, high treatment dosage, and control of the phonological neighborhood density of the stimuli. The children (24–39 months) attended 7–9 weeks of twice weekly input-based treatment in which no explicit verbal production was required from the child. Each target word was provided as input a minimum of 64 times in at least two intervention sessions. Treatment feasibility was measured by comparison of how many of the target and control words the child produced across the intervention period, and parent-reported expressive vocabulary checklists were completed for comparison of pre- and postintervention child spoken vocabulary size. An omnibus effect size for the treatment effect of the number of target and control words produced across time was calculated using Kendall's Tau. Results There was a significant treatment effect for target words learned in intervention relative to baselines, and all children produced significantly more target than control words across the intervention period. The effect of phonological neighborhood density on expressive word production could not be evaluated because two of the three children learned all target words. Conclusion The results provide cross-cultural evidence of the feasibility of a model of intervention that incorporated a high-dosage, cross-situational statistical learning paradigm to teach spoken word production to children with small expressive lexicons.
