This research study investigated how women student affairs leaders learn to advance and succeed within the context of higher education senior leadership teams. The study focused on the significant events, experiences and persons that supported and hindered the career advancement and success of the study's participants and how the participants learned from their lived experiences. A qualitative methodology, specifically phenomenology, was used; since it emphasizes experience in the research setting. In-depth interviews were the major data collection tool as they are designed to ask participants to reconstruct their experience and explore the meaning they make of the experience. Data collection included face-to-face, in-depth interviews with 12 participants and the researcher's journal and interview notes. The study's results are reflected in ten themes that emerged through analysis of the categorized data. The themes included relationships both professional and personal, campus culture, job satisfaction, gender issues, career success, the senior leadership team experience, leadership style, knowledge of self, securing resources, and career path. Analysis of these themes suggests four conclusions that answer the major research question:· How do women student affairs leaders learn to advance and succeed within the context of higher education senior leadership teams? These conclusions are as follows: Women student affairs leaders learn to advance and succeed within the context of higher education senior leadership teams by:· Building and maintaining professional and personal relationships through a collaborative and team oriented leadership style.· Working in institutional cultures that support their professional and personal value systems, their career success, their skills, and their love and passion for their work; all of which contribute to their high levels of job satisfaction.· Understanding and acknowledging the gender issues that exist in their workplace.· Utilizing reflection and self directed learning to understand who they are and who they want to be.· Through constructive knowing.

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to develop a career success model for academics at the Malaysian research universities.Design/methodology/approach– Self-administered and online surveys were used for data collection among 325 academics from Malaysian research universities.Findings– Based on the analysis of structural equation modeling, the proposed model explained 48 per cent of the variance of academics’ career success. Specifically, the result shows that there are positive significant effects between organizational support, extraversion personality, person-job fit and academics’ career success. A full mediation effect of proactive behavior was established on the relationship between organizational support and career success. Overall, the results confirmed that the proposed model succinctly explains career success among academics in Malaysian research universities.Research limitations/implications– The authors present a career success model for academics at Malaysian research universities. The study represents an important extension of previous research of which it tested the applicability of the career success theories and identified the key factors related to career success of academics based on the context of Malaysian research universities. Most current career success studies were conducted in the context of the Western culture or developed countries; therefore, the results based on the Malaysian sample provide strong evidence of cross-cultural comparability of the career success construct and model.Practical implications– The findings provide implications to both individuals and human resource development practitioners on career success among academics. Practical interventions are suggested to assist individuals and organizations toward achieving career success. This study sheds some light on the effective management of the academics.Originality/value– The authors propose a model of academics’ career success based on the context of Malaysian research universities.

As a result of the changing business environment, decision-makers need more and more information. For businesses to successfully compete in our globalized world, an in-depth analysis of their business processes and product structure is the basis for their decisions. Competition to meet consumer expectations forces managers to constantly monitor the cost of their products and services, changes in the cost structure, and review their pricing policies. The value of available information about the company's internal processes, products, and service characteristics has increased among the company's external and internal stakeholders as well. After the First World War, there was a need for a uniform accounting system to be put together by the participants of the sector with specific characteristics. As a result of these efforts, the Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry (USALI) was created, which serves to satisfy the information needs of managers involved in the hospitality industry. The document builds on the content framework of cost accounting, but at the same time, it does not take a firm position on the question of the distribution of overheads. This study explores the issue and practice of the distribution of overheads among participants in the Hungarian hotel industry. The basic population of the primary research was represented by hotels with a legal relationship with members of the Hungarian Hotel and Restaurant Association (HHRA). Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire, ended in December 2016 with the participation of 74 respondents. At the time of the closing of the questionnaire survey, the number of hotel units with HHRA membership was 398. The willingness to answer was, therefore, 18.59% among the members. Consequently, the proportion of the sample population is 7.75% compared to 955 operating hotels. To refresh the conclusions from the survey, a repeated questionnaire was carried out in May 2022 within the focus group formed by the management of AHHR (president, general secretary) and the six prominent regional leaders. A total of 6 people participated in the repeated survey through written or oral responses. The results of empirical research with a sample show that the participants of the Hungarian hotel industry mainly rely on the traditional cost allocation methods to formulate the practice of dividing overheads, but at the same time, they seem to be in the direction of adapting modern procedures efforts made.

The current article tests a longitudinal model of the process of proactive career behaviours and career success with two samples of graduates making the transition from college to work. Using structural equation modelling, we tested a theoretical model that specified the relationships between career progress goals, career planning, networking behaviours, and career success. A longitudinal panel study was conducted within two samples using a 3‐year (sample 1) and 1‐year (sample 2) time lag between the first and second data collection. The results support the process model and suggest that at graduation, career planning is affected by the goal of making career progress. In turn, career planning is positively associated with networking behaviours. Both career planning and networking at graduation are positively related to career planning and networking 1 year later (sample 1) but in sample 2, in which a 3‐year time lag was used, these relationships were no longer significant. Support is found for the relationship between networking during the early career and objective and subjective career success. The findings are discussed in terms of their general implications for understanding the proactive career behaviour process through which graduates affect their career success during the first years of their professional career.

ABSTRACTThe experience of women staff in the Houses of Parliament during the Second World War, although an unusual example of the Home Front in action, was perhaps surprisingly typical in how parts of its male workforce came to be replaced by women. Parliament was a particular target for bombing, and more than 40 women worked in a munitions factory underneath Central Lobby at the very heart of Parliament. Six women auxiliaries also participated in the Palace of Westminster Home Guard. Women took on new administrative jobs for the first time, including Kay Midwinter, appointed the first female Clerk in the House of Commons in 1940, who had a successful career at the League of Nations before the war and the United Nations afterwards; and Jean Winder, the first female Hansard reporter, appointed in 1944, who fought a long battle for equal pay.

White Eagle and Golden Chrysanthemum. Polish‑Japanese cooperation: myth or historical possibility or necessity?
 This article deals with the historical and contemporary Polish‑Japanese relations in various aspects of cooperation: political, military, economic and cultural types. Author discusses the traditions of Polish‑Japanese military cooperation since the Russo‑Japanese War to 1944 year, which is important in the context of the fact that during the Second World War, Poland and Japan fought on the opposite side.

Beginning in Britain on the Appointed Day, 5 July 1948, the National Health Service (NHS) was the result of separate legislation for England and Wales on the one hand, and for Scotland on the other. Charles Webster incorporates Scotland into his magisterial history of the NHS1 but suggests that the differences between Scotland and England and Wales were not significant; other commentators on the origins and early years of the NHS suggest that the differences were so great [End Page 474] that these authors limit their accounts to England and Wales. We are now fortunate to have two books that explore the distinctiveness of the patterns of disease and the nature of health care, health administration, and government policies toward health in Scotland during the years leading up to the establishment and implementation of the NHS. The books focus on the same period, from the end of the First World War until 1948, and not only do both authors argue that Scotland differed from England and Wales, but they are the first to elaborate the similarities and differences at length. At the same time, the books differ considerably from each other. Although there is some overlap, their emphases are distinct and, in the end, complementary. Jacqueline Jenkinson, author of Scottish Medical Societies and a coauthor of The Royal: The History of the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, has written a highly structured and systematic book, concentrating on the personal health services, excluding mental health services and voluntary hospitals. In her introduction she establishes distinctive features of the Scottish population, economy, society, and morbidity and mortality patterns. Compared with England during the interwar years, Scotland displayed a unique combination of concentrated urbanization and heavy industry alongside remote regions of scattered population; deep-rooted poverty; severe housing problems; high levels of unemployment; and high morbidity and mortality rates (infant, maternal, and tuberculosis). Jenkinson then provides two chapters setting out the structure of health administration before and after 1929. In 1919, when the Ministry of Health was set up in England and Wales, a separate Board of Health was established for Scotland, composed not of civil servants but of "experts." In 1929 the secretary of state for Scotland became a cabinet office and the Board of Health became a department run by civil servants and was moved to Edinburgh. Jenkinson clearly describes the changes in administrative structure, and in the process she introduces Muriel Ritson, a pioneering woman health administrator, and shows that Ritson and other health administrators provided continuity through the administrative reorganizations. The next four chapters explore particular areas of health administration of major concern during the interwar period: infant and maternal welfare; the health of school-aged children and controversy over their nutrition; tuberculosis; and national health insurance. In the final chapter she resumes the chronological account, discussing the wartime health services and the creation of the National Health Service. Given the topical structure, there is inevitably repetition, but Jenkinson contributes useful tables setting out the wide variations in health patterns within Scotland. She also employs the Scottish experience to address controversies in the literature over the nature and extent of devolved authority, and over the process of policy formation, as well as historiographic controversies such as that between Charles Webster and Jay Winter over the health consequences of the First World War and economic depression in the interwar years, and Richard Titmus's view that warfare promoted welfare in the Second World War.

Project Summary: The book for which this data collection was generated seeks to explain why democracies and authoritarian regimes have emerged and then survived or fallen in Latin America from 1945 to 2005. The more specific goal of the data collection is to assess the impact of normative orientations towards democracy and radical policy preferences on the likelihood of democratic transitions and democratic breakdowns. Most theories postulate that regimes survive or fall depending on the behavior of political actors. As the authors tested hypotheses based on competing theories, they became convinced that actors’ normative preferences about democracy and dictatorship and their policy preferences were indeed crucial variables to understand why democracies and dictatorships emerge and then survive or break down. They found that normative regime preferences and radicalism, together with international conditions, are the most important predictors for democratic emergence and survival in Latin America. Data Abstract: The absence of systematic historical measures of normative regime preferences (ideological support for democracy or authoritarianism) and of policy radicalism for major political actors led the authors to commission a set of reports covering all Latin American countries after World War II up to 2010 The reports were produced between 2008 and 2013 with the help of 19 research assistants (RAs) by archival research and synthesis of existing material (notes based on secondary sources subsequently integrated into country reports). The data collection includes all of these reports as well as the coding rules guiding their production. For eighteen of the twenty countries, the coding of political actors covers the period from 1944 until 2010; for Argentina and El Salvador reports reach back to 1916 and 1927, respectively. The data are organized by country (documents for Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela) and by administration (sections within documents). For most administrations, a limited number of actors (between two and ten) were the decisive political players. The list always includes the president (except for a few puppet presidents), political parties, trade unions, military factions, social movements, and other powerful organizations. For 290 presidential administrations, the dataset has 1460 actors including 573 parties, party coalitions, and party factions; 327 presidents and the organizations that are relatively subordinate to them (such as their parties under democracies and almost always the military under military dictatorships); 175 militaries, military factions, and military organizations; 82 business organizations; 56 guerrilla organizations; 53 popular and civil society organizations; 52 labor unions and federations; 52 powerful individuals who were not the president; 27 churches; 22 social movements; 16 paramilitary groups; and a smaller number of other kinds of actors. The authors identified the actors’ political alignments vis-a-vis the incumbent president by coding whether they were the government or government allies, members of the opposition, or neutral or divided with regards to the administration. Based on multiple historical sources, country reports discuss and code three variables for each political actor: its normative preference for democracy, its normative preference for dictatorship, and its policy radicalism/moderation. The coding rules for normative preferences for democracy and dictatorship are designed to distinguish between instrumental and normative reasons for supporting regimes. Files Description: Twenty country reports, divided into sections corresponding to the administrations in office during 1944-2010, with additional administrations for Argentina (1916-1930) and El Salvador (1927-1943). Each section (administration or period for long-lasting administrations) contains a sub-section for the actors mentioned above. An additional table summarizes the profile of all political actors discussed for each administration period. For each actor, the report provides brief narratives involving qualitative assessment of three attributes: (1) The actor’s normative support for democracy. The actor’s normative support for dictatorship; (2) The actor’s degree of radicalism on policy issues; (3) Historical sources referenced for each document are listed at the end of each respective country report.

Objective and subjective criteria are essential measures of organizational success. However, prior studies ignored these criteria when assessing employees’ career success. This study aims to examine the impact of HRM practices and employee behavior on career success for employees in the Greater Amman Municipality. This study adopted a survey for data collection, as 375 questionnaires were distributed to employees working at Greater Amman Municipality in Jordan. Four weeks were given to respondents to complete the survey. After the allotted time had passed, 246 questionnaires had been gathered, with a response rate of 65.6%. Of these, 246 questionnaires were deemed suitable for further analysis. Convenience sampling has been used as a key technique for collecting data. For data analysis, SPSS (version 25) and SmartPLS (version 3.3.9) statistical software were used. The findings indicated that objective and subjective criteria significantly affect career success. The results also showed that HRM practices and employee behavior significantly and positively influenced career success. Furthermore, employee behavior mediated the relationship between HRM practices and career success. Since each facet reflects a significant and distinctive component of career success, academics and researchers should focus on both the objective and subjective dimensions of career success.

This study investigated how employee mentoring relates to career success and organizational success. This is because employee mentoring, employee career success and organizational success are indispensible in the life of every organization. To fill the existing gap in the current literature, this study intends to determine the presence of mentoring in Nigerian firms and the extent to which it has helped in both career success and organizational success. The study employed a survey method of data collection through questionnaires administered to 345 respondents, and descriptive statistics and t-tests were used for the analysis and hypothesis testing. This study proposes that there is a significant presence of mentoring in firms throughout Nigeria, that mentoring has a significant positive effect on career success, and that career success has a significant positive effect on organizational success. The study recommends that organizations should incorporate employee mentoring programmes in their plan, which will lead to employees’ career success and organizational success, and the study concludes that mentoring is invaluable to both career success and organizational success.

Little is known about the therapeutic uses of music during the First World War. This historical study provides a biography of Paula Lind Ayers (1891-1974), a vocalist, actress, and YMCA Entertainer who became known as "the girl who could sing away shell shock." The purpose of this study is to describe Paula Lind Ayers' respite services during World War I and provide a contextual biography of her life. The author conducted an exhaustive search regarding Paula Lind Ayers' life and her activities during World War I. Numerous databases were used to locate print sources. Libraries, archives, and organizations were consulted to obtain unpublished primary sources. The author evaluated materials via a recursive process that included corroborating evidence, assessing source reliability, and contextualizing information. Data were synthesized and analyzed for emergent themes. Findings suggest that Paula Lind Ayers developed a systematic approach using familiar, live singing that was effective in alleviating symptoms of shell shock. Her method was replicated by others overseas during World War I. After the war, she returned to a successful performance career until the Great Depression. No information was found about Ayers' life from the year 1929 until her death in 1974. Understanding Paula Lind Ayers' contribution to music therapy provides a deeper awareness of past therapeutic uses of music with soldiers who experienced shell shock. Such understanding helps shape the way we view the present conception of music therapy with veterans and how we might answer questions that will affect the future of the field.

To investigate the career success and work environment among nurses with a master's or doctoral degree and analyse the effect of work environment on their career success. This was a national descriptive, cross-sectional study. A total of 1223 nurses with a master's or doctoral degree from 115 tertiary hospitals across mainland China participated in the study. Subscales of the practice environment scale of the nursing work index and career success scale were utilized for data collection via email in the summer of 2017. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the collected data. The research showed that the career success and work environment ratings of nurses with a master's or doctoral degree were at a moderate level. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that work environment was positively correlated with career success for three of the four subscales. The career success and work environment is moderate among nurses with a master's or doctoral degree, and improving the work environment for nurses may lead to higher career success.

This chapter focuses on general tendencies in the development of the relationship between human rights and religion. It starts with a brief sketch of the pessimistic view of the role played by religion in the human rights field and the possible undermining of human rights by religious discourses and practices. Then, the chapter presents a different view – offered among others by the UN Secretary General, Kofi Annan – suggesting a much more positive approach to the role of religion in the human rights sphere. It focuses on some of the areas in which religious communities wish to take human rights in certain directions, which may differ from those envisioned by the mainstream human rights community. The chapter also focuses on the position of Danish Jews in the aftermath of the Second World War. Keywords: Danish Jews; human rights; Kofi Annan; religious communities; Second World War

Aim: The researcher has decided to pursue a study to look at the possible impact of teachers’ attunement and academic leniency to the career success of their learners’ career success. At the present situation where people are placed in the same boat gliding in the crisis, it must be difficult to build relationships especially in a virtual classroom where teachers no longer meet with the students face-to-face. Possibility of getting to know each student and establishing rapport may turn out to be not only hard but nearly impossible. Methodology: This research design engages a single study which includes qualitative and quantitative data collection done at the same time. The rationale behind this study is to scrutinize the findings generated by each method through the evidence that came from both type of data collection (Andrew & Halcomb, 2009). It is characterized by two or more methods which is used to sanction, cross-check, or substantiate findings within a study. Results: Result shows that there is a significant difference in the Student Teacher Relationship Scale (STRS) score to the job affiliation which means that the setting of work has something to do with the closeness of former student to the teachers. Results revealed that among all the demographic profile of the respondents, there was no significant difference to the Career Resource Questionnaire (CRQ) Score. Conclusion: In terms of the impact of teachers’ attunement and academic leniency in the career success of the students, they have disclosed the following details. It appears that some students find confidence in their job because of the teacher who understood their needs when they were studying. Some of the respondents claimed that they lack the learned skills they should have learned during the time when they were studying because they did not take it seriously and they only pass out mercy. There are students who shows great respect, gratefulness, and admiration to the teachers who gave them a chance by passing them despite their poor performance. For others, the impact is on the fear of work criticism because they are not competent enough to do their work. There are respondents who just want to pay forward their professors by doing something good to others because they were shown great kindness. On the contrary, there are students who lack their self-esteem because they are not confident with their skills. And finally, there are those who show high appreciation of the subject after almost failing it because they now understand the value.
