Download or read book Intervention Set Selection written by Simone G. Symonette and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-09-07 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains the process of intervention set selection and provides guidance for anyone seeking to improve performance. The 15 principles generated serve as a guide professionals can use to select an intervention set. The principles explain how and why certain actions happen during the intervention set selection phase and they function as a guide for practitioners when selecting intervention sets. A schemata, that consists of composition, directional dependence, mechanism of action, enforcement, transformation, and reverberation adds to the field of performance improvement. Identifying these factors explains a practitioner’s behaviors when selecting an intervention set. The schemata also illustrate the art and science inherent in intervention set selection. The value of a “set” is to create the most comprehensive intervention to assure successful human performance. The book concludes by encouraging others to continue the journey.

Download or read book Field Trials of Health Interventions written by Peter G. Smith and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC 4.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Before new interventions are released into disease control programmes, it is essential that they are carefully evaluated in `field trials'. These may be complex and expensive undertakings, requiring the follow-up of hundreds, or thousands, of individuals, often for long periods. Descriptions of the detailed procedures and methods used in the trials that have been conducted have rarely been published. A consequence of this, individuals planning such trials have few guidelines available and little access to knowledge accumulated previously, other than their own. In this manual, practical issues in trial design and conduct are discussed fully and in sufficient detail, that Field Trials of Health Interventions may be used as a `toolbox' by field investigators. It has been compiled by an international group of over 30 authors with direct experience in the design, conduct, and analysis of field trials in low and middle income countries and is based on their accumulated knowledge and experience. Available as an open access book via Oxford Medicine Online, this new edition is a comprehensive revision, incorporating the new developments that have taken place in recent years with respect to trials, including seven new chapters on subjects ranging from trial governance, and preliminary studies to pilot testing.
Download or read book Recent Developments in Recruitment and Selection written by Kristina Potočnik and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-04 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together top recruitment and selection scholars to discuss recent challenges in employee recruitment and selection underpinned by research evidence from different European countries. Broadly speaking, recruitment and selection are concerned with attracting qualified candidates to apply for available jobs and selecting the best ones from the pool of available candidates. As such, they are critical to any business. Numerous toolkits and best practice guides exist to help recruiters navigate different stages of recruitment and selection. However, traditional recruitment and selection practices should be adjusted to respond to diverse challenges in the current and future world of work related with increased volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. Specific examples of these challenges are related with the accelerated use of technology and artificial intelligence, as well as more flexible work practices, such as hybrid and platform-based work. The chapters in this volume cover the use of technology and gamification, applicant discrimination and stigmatization, and applicant reactions to technology-mediated selection methods, among others. This book is the ideal text for students, scholars and researchers of HRM, Business and Management and Organizational Psychology. It will also interest practitioners and professionals in the field. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology.
Download or read book Unauthorised Humanitarian Interventions in World Politics written by Christian Pohlmann and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question if states should intervene in massive humanitarian emergencies without a legal right to do so, is still object of an important debate in the theory and practice of international relations. This situation has not changed with the emergence of the ‘Responsibility to Protect’ norm, which stopped short of a right to intervene without a Security Council authorisation. The book assesses the impact of such unauthorised humanitarian interventions on international society and regions; it is written in the context of the English School of International Relations. Based on empirical studies the author argues that they can be progressive-constructive for international order, if conducted with explicit legitimacy, integrity, and great power participation. The argument is based on the analysis of six cases conducted between 1946 and 2005. Specific consideration is given to the cases of Liberia (1990) and Kosovo (1999). In sum, the book contributes to the solidarism-pluralism debate and the discourse on humanitarian interventions.
