    Are women more ethical than men? Findings from three independent studies (2003)
    Bradford : Emerald

    Notes: Re-analyses of data from Canadian samples of management undergraduates in three independent studies of ethical dilemmas, as presented in vignettes, were conducted to test the hypothesis that women are more ethical than men. Several statistically significant gender differences were found when t-tests for mean differences were used; however, the effect sizes were all small as measured by Cohen's d. Three existing frameworks were used to explain these gender differences: gender socialization, underlying ethical frameworks, and situational specificity. When the Bonferroni adjustment was applied to control for Type I error rate, only three of the 76 t-tests for gender differences across the three studies were significant. It is suggested that these findings of very few gender differences in ethical beliefs, when conservative statistical tests are used, reflect the effects of changing gender socialization and sex roles in contemporary Canadian society among other factors that de-emphasize gender differences

    Making female first-line nurse managers more effective: a Delphi study of occupational stress (2004)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Women in management review 19 (2004), S. 88-97 
    Details
    ISSN: 0964-9425
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Sociology , Economics
    Notes: A two-round Delphi study was conducted with a panel of 41 Canadian female nurse managers selected from hospitals with at least 100 beds, in the province of Alberta, Canada. The Delphi study examined the changing roles of First-line nurse managers (FLNMs) and major challenges they face with the aim of identifying major stressors and presenting recommendations for senior health care administrators to effectively support FLNMs in the future. Findings underscored the need to better prepare FLNMs for their changing and challenging roles. Organizations need to provide FLNMs with the resources to ensure quality patient care and enable them to spend more quality time executing their management responsibilities. Health care organizations should consider using a more participative management style, with mentoring, to empower and effectively use the extensive experience of their FLNMs to tackle the challenges of the future.

    Bingley : Emerald
    Team performance management 2 (1996), S. 6-14 
    Details
    ISSN: 1352-7592
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Notes that the project management approach has enjoyed growing acceptance by a wide variety of businesses and organizations over the past 20 years or so. Emphasizes the usefulness of training in the basics of project management to management training and team development. Following a brief description of project management, discusses implementation factors to facilitate the successful implementation of this approach in the workplace and the expected benefits. Describes a sample of basic management techniques and tools for the planning and controlling of projects. Concludes that managers and trainers can readily see that adopting project management can be done with minimal disruption to the workplace and that the costs of adopting project management are relatively small compared with the potential benefits in terms of improved individual and team efficiency and productivity, high standards of work quality, and reduced employee stress and conflict in teamworking among other benefits.

    Using reflective learning journals to improve individual and team performance (2002)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Team performance management 8 (2002), S. 134-139 
    Details
    ISSN: 1352-7592
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This paper describes the successful application of reflective learning journals to promote critical self-awareness and improve both individual and team performance among members in 11 management undergraduate teams conducting management research projects. Qualitative analyses of the journals revealed several major themes; for example, management skills development, leadership, team communications, stresses of team work, and individual versus team work. Analyses of the journaling evaluation data showed that participants found journaling a useful learning tool. Recommendations are presented for those interested in using reflective learning journals to improve individual and team performance.

    A multi-level causal model for best practices in project management (2003)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Benchmarking 10 (2003), S. 29-36 
    Details
    ISSN: 1463-5771
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Technology
    Notes: This paper presents a multi-level causal model for best practices in project management based upon the literature, especially empirical studies of competencies and project management. The model emphasizes the roles of technical project management skills and interpersonal or people skills as inputs to the model. Next, the model stresses the important roles of organizational facilitators and inhibitors, that is, moderator variables (e.g. project management systems and supportive senior management) in influencing project outcomes. The model addresses the outcome variables of technical competencies (e.g. planning and controlling) and people competencies (e.g. interpersonal communication and conflict management skills). Finally, the model recognizes the important role of feedback for corrective actions and reinforcing best practices, that is, organizational learning.

    The typology of self-managed teams based upon team climate: examining stability and change in typologies (2003)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Team performance management 9 (2003), S. 59-68 
    Details
    ISSN: 1352-7592
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Several studies have reported on psychometric and factor-analytic work related to the team climate inventory (TCI), including its four scales and 13 subscales. This exploratory study reports on the first research to examine team typologies based on team climate scores. The TCI was administered twice to 84 and 63 self-managed teams of management undergraduates completing graded term projects. Following each TCI administration, a two-stage clustering procedure (Ward's and K-means) was used to determine the number and team composition of clusters. Clusters were then plotted on the multidimensional space (INDSCAL) and a discriminant analysis performed to determine how well cluster membership was predicted using scores from the 13 TCI subscales. At the first TCI administration, three weeks into the term projects, the study obtained three team clusters on a two-dimensional space. Near the end of the term projects, the study found two team clusters on a two-dimensional space. Implications are presented for team building, interventions to improve team climate and management training.

    A structured exercise for stimulating cross-cultural sensitivity (1999)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Career development international 4 (1999), S. 321-324 
    Details
    ISSN: 1362-0436
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Illustrates the utility of a structured exercise using Cushner's (1986) Inventory of Cross-Cultural Sensitivity (ICCS) along with supplementary questions in stimulating participants to critically reflect upon their own views, in promoting group discussion on cross-cultural attitudes and beliefs, and in energizing participants to work towards greater cross-cultural sensitivity. The overall goal of this procedure was to encourage participants to reflect upon their own views and then work towards a greater valuing of cultural diversity partly as one component of their own strategic career development given the increasing cultural diversity in workplaces round the world. The findings from 211 management undergraduates, that is, "professionals-in-training" illustrate the usefulness of this approach and recommendations are presented for future use in training and career development.

    A caveat on using single-item versus multiple-item scales (2002)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Journal of managerial psychology 17 (2002), S. 68-75 
    Details
    ISSN: 0268-3946
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Psychology , Economics
    Notes: Single-item measures are quick and easy to use; however, methodologists advocate the use of multiple-item measures. Recently, this stringent viewpoint has been challenged. Using the classical formula for the correction for attenuation and job satisfaction data, they demonstrated that meaningful reliability estimates can be calculated for single-item measures. This study examined this approach using "belief in a just world" data from two instruments. The findings provide qualified support for single-item measures when the underlying constructs are homogeneous, but these findings are not strong enough to challenge the view that multiple-item measures are needed to measure relatively complex constructs reliably. Practitioners and researchers should be wary of single-item measures.

    The future of management training in Canadian healthcare organizations (1997)
    Bradford : Emerald
    The @journal of management development 16 (1997), S. 680-689 
    Details
    ISSN: 0262-1711
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Two complementary research techniques, a case study of one municipal hospital and Round 1 of a Delphi study, were used in a preliminary study of management training and development in the Canadian healthcare sector which is undergoing a dramatic change. Five broad themes emerged from these two studies: expectations of continuing tight financial constraints associated with greater accountability from healthcare managers; a concern that human resource departments improve their practices to better identify, develop and evaluate staff; a view that healthcare organizations co-operate more with other organizations to pool resources for management training; and a need for innovation to utilize cost-effective training technologies.

    A Delphi study forecasting management training and development for first-line nurse managers (2003)
    Bradford : Emerald
    The @journal of management development 22 (2003), S. 824-834 
    Details
    ISSN: 0262-1711
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: First-line nurse managers in the Canadian healthcare system are facing many challenges due, in large part, to reduced funding for healthcare since the early 1990s and the accompanying reorganization and downsizing of healthcare organizations that leave nurse managers with greater pressures to do more with less. A two-round Delphi study was conducted with a panel of 41 Canadian nurse managers selected from hospitals, with at least 100 beds, in the province of Alberta. The Delphi study examined current and future management training and development (MTD) for first-line nurse managers in light of their challenges and changing roles. The aim was to identify major recommendations for health care administrators and educators to prepare and support first-line nurse managers effectively in the future. Findings underscored the need for management skills training, especially human resource management and budgeting skills. Given the resource constraints of healthcare organizations, cost-efficient recommendations are presented for MTD.
