Social Positioning Theory

Using social positioning theory and the concept of the liminoid, the objectives of this qualitative research project were to 1) investigate how social positioning affects the information behaviour of volunteer tourists; 2) determine what effects culture shock, physical location, gender, technical skill, and previous intercultural education and/or experiences have on the information behaviour of volunteer tourists; and finally, 3) suggest how non-governmental organizations can use the research findings to assist volunteer tourists to successfully undertake their placements. The results emphasize the importance of developing a theory of liminoidal information behaviour, in order to explore how people in the liminoid – a place between cultures where identities are often suspended – interact with information.À l'aide de la théorie du positionnement social et du concept de la liminalité, l'objectif de ce projet de recherche qualitatif est 1) d'investiguer comment le positionnement social influence le comportement informationnel des touristes bénévoles; 2) de déterminer quels sont les effets du choc culturel, de l'emplacement physique, du sexe, des aptitudes techniques et de l'éducation ou de l'expérience interculturelle préalable sur le comportement informationnel des touristes bénévoles; et finalement, 3) de suggérer comment les organisations non gouvernementales peuvent se servir des résultats de la recherche pour aider les touristes bénévoles à mener à bien leurs activités. Les résultats insistent sur l'importance de développer une théorie du comportement informationnel liminal afin d'explorer comment les gens se trouvant dans cet état, un endroit entre les cultures où l'identité est souvent suspendue, interagissent avec l'information.

The paper argues for nonprofit making corporations that strive to increase resilience against economic challenges through human resource development and strategic training by involving the management in various sections of the human resource management activities. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) operating in an open environment, depend upon external sources for funds and resources to perform robustly. Changes in external environment and internal deficiencies lead to face adverse impacts and collapse of organizations. Very few organizations manage to recover from losses, take advantage from situations and evolve stronger than before. Resilience provides strength to NGOs and help obtain positive future prospects under crisis situations. The study aims to enhance understanding of dynamics and nature of resilience of NGOs. It empirically investigates the effect of factors including transformational leadership that promotes organizational learning, management development, ethics training, systems thinking and social capital and political instability as an external factor on resilience of NGOs. Data have been collected from sample of 200 managerial level employees working in NGOs of Muscat, Oman. The research findings conclude that transformational leadership has a significant positive effect on organizational resilience; whereas, the indirect effect of transformational leadership in the presence of organizational learning as mediator is insignificant, thus exhibits insignificant mediation.
