The way in which managers perceive their organization's intellectual and social capital has an impact in shaping their choices and how they lead change. The aim of the study was to explore how the managers of a trade union framed the role of its intangible assets in a context of organizational change. A qualitative approach was used; 30 semi-structured interviews were conducted with the leaders of a trade union and then analyzed using the method of thematic analysis. Particular attention was paid to the metaphors the managers used to narrate change. The hypothesis underlying this approach is that metaphors are a meaningful resource in that they can convey how organization and its intangible assets are framed. In the results, three “root metaphors” are illustrated—the trade union seen either as a system of domination, an organism, or a culture—together with the consequences of each of these images for the perception and value attributed to the trade union's intangible assets. In conclusion, implications for changing management practices and for further research are discussed.

Despite the fact that tourism is one of Greece's economic pillars and that food can lead to greater satisfaction and loyalty to the destination, little research effort has been devoted to understanding tourists' food consumption complexities. In response, this study aimed at investigating the themes behind the food motivations of international tourists to Greece. A qualitative approach was deployed by implementing semi-structured interviews among tour-ists (n=28), and a thematic analysis was conducted in order to categorize interviewees' statements into eight themes: local culture learning, authentic experience, novelty seeking, social interactions, sensory pleasure, health concerns, familiar food, and the need for suste-nance. These motivations were heterogeneous and exerted significant influence over food choices and eating behavior. Even though Greek destinations attract tourists primarily seek-ing journey-related food elements, other secondary motivations involving travel intentions independent of local gastronomy should not be neglected. Although the factors identified may not be exhaustive, this study provides a clear model for further research concerning tourists' food motivational factors in Greece and other Mediterranean destinations.

Introduction  Promotion from paramedic to manager is common in ambulance services, yet there is limited research concerning paramedics’ experience of this role transition. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the experiences of paramedics who have transitioned from clinician to manager. Methods  A qualitative approach was used for this study. Through purposive sampling, semi-structured interviews were conducted with paramedics who had made the transition to manager. The participants were asked to describe how they felt and what their experiences were concerning this transition. Thematic analysis was undertaken identifying themes within participant responses. Results  Six key themes emerged during the data analysis. Participants described feelings of isolation on moving from the frontline, a lack of feeling part of the team ‘in green’; however, they also reported that previously being a paramedic in some instances gave credibility in their new manager roles. Challenges reported concerned no formal training before transitioning into the role, and the lack of essential managerial experience. Conclusion  This research provided insight into how paramedics feel and perceive the transition from clinician to management roles. A review of the organisational approach to role transition is of benefit to paramedics. Such a review may help identify what changes could be made in support of paramedics transitioning to management roles. Further research is required across other ambulance services to determine the efficacy of these results in the broader ambulance service environment.
