Download or read book Values and Work written by Robert A. Roe and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 1998-12-31 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During decades much empirical research has been devoted to the study of values in relation to work. Many studies have treated work-related values as expressions of more general life values, and interpreted the differences between groups an cultures in terms of broader cultural patterns, historical trends, and adaptation to changing economic and technical environments. Work values have also been investigated at the level of occupations and the individual. In this case they have been related to interests and other motivational notions, and used to explain differences in people's occupational behavior, in particular vocational choice. A general assumption underlying most of the research and theorizing on values, has been that shared values (as expressed at the collective level on the one side and individual values as operating in daily occupational behavior on the other side) are somehow interrelated, although their causal relationships are still to be uncovered. This special issue deals with the theory and research on the relationship between peoples' values and work behavior. It presents a review of the sociological and psychological research literature on values and work, shows some typical findings from large scale research projects, and identifies some major theoretical and practical issues. More importantly, an explicit effort is made to interlink the different approaches by offering an integrative multilevel framework model. The contributions to this special issue, written by leading researchers in the field, underline the continuing importance of values for understanding what happens in the world of work.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Brené Brown has taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong, and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers, and culture shifters, she’s showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead. Don’t miss the five-part HBO Max docuseries Brené Brown: Atlas of the Heart! NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BLOOMBERG Leadership is not about titles, status, and wielding power. A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for recognizing the potential in people and ideas, and has the courage to develop that potential. When we dare to lead, we don’t pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don’t see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it with others. We don’t avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when it’s necessary to do good work. But daring leadership in a culture defined by scarcity, fear, and uncertainty requires skill-building around traits that are deeply and uniquely human. The irony is that we’re choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the exact same time as we’re scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines and AI can’t do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection, and courage, to start. Four-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Brené Brown has spent the past two decades studying the emotions and experiences that give meaning to our lives, and the past seven years working with transformative leaders and teams spanning the globe. She found that leaders in organizations ranging from small entrepreneurial startups and family-owned businesses to nonprofits, civic organizations, and Fortune 50 companies all ask the same question: How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and how do you embed the value of courage in your culture? In this new book, Brown uses research, stories, and examples to answer these questions in the no-BS style that millions of readers have come to expect and love. Brown writes, “One of the most important findings of my career is that daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100 percent teachable, observable, and measurable. It’s learning and unlearning that requires brave work, tough conversations, and showing up with your whole heart. Easy? No. Because choosing courage over comfort is not always our default. Worth it? Always. We want to be brave with our lives and our work. It’s why we’re here.” Whether you’ve read Daring Greatly and Rising Strong or you’re new to Brené Brown’s work, this book is for anyone who wants to step up and into brave leadership.

Download or read book Job Satisfaction of School Based Speech Language Pathologists written by Kimberly A. Boynton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text responds to the growing need for speech-language pathologists in school settings by asking how factors including people, work, pay, opportunities for promotion, and supervision impact the overall job satisfaction of school-based speech-language pathologists. Drawing on data from a quantitative study conducted in schools in the US, the text foregrounds the experiences and perspectives of speech-language pathologists working in the public school sector, and illustrates the critical role of effective and supportive educational leadership and administration in ensuring effective recruitment, retention, and job satisfaction amongst these much needed professionals. The text highlights growing responsibilities of speech-language pathologists in schools and considers recruitment and challenges in the sector can be remedied by greater understanding of how job satisfaction relates to speech-language pathologists’ experiences and perspectives on pay, work, opportunities for promotion, and support from a supervisor. This short text is aimed at researchers, scholars, and administrators in meeting the growing needs of children and students with speech and language difficulties in Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary education settings . The text will be particularly valuable for school leaders looking to support speech-language pathologists in their setting.

Download or read book Antecedents of Career Goals and Their Implications for Career Success Across Contexts written by Claudia Holtschlag and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dissertation, I contribute to the literature that addresses why some people are more successful in their careers than others. Within this stream of research, scholars have increasingly examined the predictors of career success (Ng, Eby, Sorensen, & Feldman, 2005). Despite their relevance in career theorizing, little is known, however, about how career goals affect individuals' objective and subjective career success. Whereas objective career success refers to tangible indicators of career success such as status and salary, subjective career success makes reference to affective and attitudinal criteria like job and career satisfaction or turnover intentions (e.g., Allen, Eby, Poteet, Lentz, & Lima, 2004). In this thesis, I examine how and when career goals relate to career success. Overall, I aimed to answer in this dissertation 1) whether career goals predict career success, 2) when they matter most for understanding career success, and 3) whether they mediate the relationship between personality traits and career success. These three research objectives are addressed in three related empirical studies. In the first study, I draw on goal-setting theory (Locke & Latham, 1990a) to examine whether individuals with difficult and specific long-term career goals (i.e., career visions) are more likely to be satisfied with their jobs seven years later. For this purpose, I analyzed data of a time-lagged study with 74 MBA alumni. Confirming hypothesis of goal-setting theory, people with specific and difficult long-term career goals were more satisfied with their jobs seven years later, which explained why they reported fewer intentions to leave their jobs. In the second study, I aimed to advance these findings by testing whether people with abstract ambition goals (i.e., self-enhancement values, Schwartz values theory, 1992) are also more likely to attain objective career success. Results from a cross- cultural study sampling approximately 35,000 participants across 29 countries show that ambition goals are positively associated with hierarchical status. In line with the tenet of the trait-activation theory (Tett & Burnett, 2003; Tett & Guterman, 2000) that "strong situations" limit the influence of individual differences, the study's finding indicate that the relationship between ambition goals and hierarchical status is most pronounced in "weak" situations, specifically in countries that do not highly encourage and reward ambition related behavior. On the contrary in countries with "strong" ambition cues, individuals' ambition goals no longer explain who makes it to the top. In the third study, I continued examining the boundary conditions of the relationship between career goals and career success. Specifically, I examined how the occupational context alters the relevance of short-term career goals for explaining career satisfaction. Based on self-verification theory (Swann, 1983), I hypothesized that positive goal emotions mediate the relationship between the personality trait of core self-evaluations (Judge, Locke, & Durham, 1997) and career satisfaction. Relying on the situational strength framework (Meyer, Dalal, & Hermida, 2010; Mischel, 1973), I expected that the relationship between positive goal emotions and career satisfaction is most pronounced when individuals are not highly embedded in their occupations. Results of a time-lagged study over 10 months with three measurement waves including responses from 140 MBA alumni support the hypothesized moderated mediation model. Core self-evaluations are both directly and indirectly related to career satisfaction through positive goal emotions. This indirect effect is moderated by occupational embeddedness such that a high level of occupational embeddedness substitutes positive goal emotions. Taken together, these three empirical studies discuss the antecedents, boundary conditions, and implications of career goals for individuals' career success, providing important contributions to the careers and personal goals literatures. Specifically, the findings presented in this dissertation suggest that people who pursue ambitious, challenging, specific, and emotionally positive career goals are more likely to be successful in their careers. The results furthermore indicate that the appraisals of career goals can partly channel the effects of personality traits on career success. Although all three studies point to the benefits of pursuing career goals, the results of this dissertation also suggest that career goals are not equally relevant across contexts for understanding career success. In this sense, certain cultural and occupational contexts can alter the importance of career goal contents and appraisals, leaving career goals either important or negligible for predicting career success.

This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentorship is a catalyst capable of unleashing one's potential for discovery, curiosity, and participation in STEMM and subsequently improving the training environment in which that STEMM potential is fostered. Mentoring relationships provide developmental spaces in which students' STEMM skills are honed and pathways into STEMM fields can be discovered. Because mentorship can be so influential in shaping the future STEMM workforce, its occurrence should not be left to chance or idiosyncratic implementation. There is a gap between what we know about effective mentoring and how it is practiced in higher education. The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM studies mentoring programs and practices at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It explores the importance of mentorship, the science of mentoring relationships, mentorship of underrepresented students in STEMM, mentorship structures and behaviors, and institutional cultures that support mentorship. This report and its complementary interactive guide present insights on effective programs and practices that can be adopted and adapted by institutions, departments, and individual faculty members.
