Maintaining professional face: deceptive impression management in community sport coaching

ABSTRACT This article breaks new ground in the sociology of sports work through its novel exploration of workplace deception and the associated development of an original typology of deceptive impression management. Analysis of data collected from a two-phased research design, comprising online interviews and survey responses from 102 participants, revealed that community sport coaches employed deceptive impression management to display emotional control, an ideal practice of their work, and to feign expert knowledge. These types of deceptive impression management consisted of disguising disdain, flattering insincerely, camouflaging alternative approaches, covering-up mistakes, hiding a lack of expected knowledge, and reporting favourable metrics. Drawing on theories of dramaturgical analysis [Goffman, E. (1959). The presentation of self in everyday life. Anchor, Goffman, E. (1967). Interactional ritual: Essays on face-To-face behaviour. Aldine Publications, Goffman, E. (1974). Frame analysis: An essay on the organization of experience. Harvard University Press.] and emotional labour (Hochschild, A. (1979). Emotion work, feeling rules, and social structure. American Journal of Sociology, 85(3), 551–575., Hochschild, A. R. (1983). The managed heart: Commercialisation of human feeling. The University of California Press] as used in constructing a professional image, we examine how the coaches used deception to cope with challenging work circumstances that endanger projecting a professional appearance. The present article not only advances our sociological understanding of sports work but raises important questions for the preparation, development, and support of sports workers.

Instantaneous audience responses: an organizational genre theory perspective

PurposeThe worldwide imposition of lockdown measures to control the 2020 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has shifted most executive communications with external stakeholders online, resulting in quick responses from stakeholders. This study aims to understand how presentational styles exhibited in online communication induce immediate audience responses and empirically test the effectiveness of reactive impression management tactics.Design/methodology/approachThe authors analyze presentational styles using MP3 files containing executive utterances during earnings call conferences held by S&P 100-listed firms after June 2020, the quarter after the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Using timestamps, the authors link each utterance to a 1-minute interval change in the ask/bid prices of the stocks that occurs a minute after the corresponding utterance begins.FindingsExhibiting an informational presentation style in earnings calls leads to positive and immediate audience responses. Managers tend to increase their reliance on promotional presentation styles rather than on informational ones when quarterly earnings exceed market forecasts.Originality/valueDrawing on organizational genre theory, this research identifies the discrepancy between the presentation styles that audiences positively respond to and those that managers tend to exhibit in earnings calls and provides a reactive impression management typology for immediate responses from online audiences.

What's going on in there? Canadian government policy labs and public value management

AbstractGovernment‐based policy labs have established themselves across the Canadian policy landscape. This article argues these labs contribute to public value management. We begin by reviewing the public value management literature, followed by Canadian contributions to the policy lab literature. Then, our inventory of 35 current Canadian government‐based policy labs is descriptively analyzed, including trends in spatial concentration, the tools and methods employed, their focus areas, the number of years in existence, and their primary role in the policy process. We randomly selected nine of these labs, provide more details of their activities, and present a preliminary public value management typology to analyze policy labs.

Reducing carbon emission in the goat farms by switching from conventional goat farming to green goat farm typology

The carbon footprint of goat farms associated with the management type and the income sacrifice to switch to green goat farms are still not precise in the literature. Therefore, the objectives of this study were 1) to assess the environmental impacts of goat farming associated with management typology in Türkiye and 2) to explore the link between farm-level income sacrifice and the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction. Goat farm-level data were collected from randomly selected 284 goat farms through a questionnaire. Environmental impacts of goat farming associated with the management typology were examined using the life cycle assessment (LCA). The GHG emissions were calculated both for the whole goat farm associated with the management type and for individual goat products such as milk, meat, mohair, and replacement. The research results showed that Turkish goat farms emitted GHG emissions for the production of per kg of meat, milk, and mohair by 9.85 kg CO2-eq, 8 kg CO2-eq, and 0.28 kg CO2-eq, respectively. Goat farms in management type 1 emitted the highest GHG emission in a year, while that of goat farms in type 5 was the lowest. The research results also showed that the environmental impact and farm-level income sacrifice per kg GHG emission reduction to reach the level of environmentally friendly goat farms varied according to the management type of goat farms. Typical Turkish goat farms gained agricultural income by 2.47 USD per kg of GHG emission. The amount of agricultural income gained per kg GHG emission varied according to typology. Based on the research results, typical Turkish goat farms faced with an income sacrifice of 2.85 USD per kg GHG emission reduction to reach the level of environmentally friendly goat farms having minimum GHG emission in a year. Turkish goat farms emitted 0.49 kg CO2-eq per USD of agricultural production expenses. The study suggests switching from a conventional management type to environmentally friendly management type goat farms. Facilitating the accessibility of financial resources may enhance the switching process through benefiting investments in infrastructure, equipment, and research and development. Creating resource-efficient and environmentally friendly goat farms by subsidizing the goat farms may decrease GHG emissions.

‘Qualifying the sacred: recognising First Nations cultural values in the management and repatriation of museum collections.’

ABSTRACT Australian collecting institutions and heritage agencies have been returning Ancestral Remains and secret-sacred objects to Australian First Nations communities for over 30 years. In recent years, calls for repatriation have expanded to include what have often been called ‘secular’ objects. This paper considers the varying levels of sacredness potentially inherent in the types of ‘traditional’ secular objects that are characteristic of many museum collections. In museum collection management typologies, objects are often divided into discrete categories of secular, ceremonial and sacred. This paper considers how the divide between sacred and secular objects is actually far more complex, with associated impacts for collection management and repatriation.

A typology of talent management in aerospace micro‐, small‐, and medium‐sized enterprises

AbstractThis article contributes to talent management (TM) research by offering a comprehensive view of TM in the micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) context. It captures and categorizes TM practices according to differences in formality and inclusivity, employee participation in TM, and market orientation. On the basis of 31 in‐depth interviews with the top managers of 27 aerospace companies in Luxembourg, we propose a typology of TM in MSMEs. We identify differences in how companies define and manage talent and propose three main types of TM, namely, “planned,” “proactive,” and “reactive.” “Planned” TM sustains organizational growth through the focus on systematically assessing needs and anticipating the future. In contrast, “proactive” TM tests different TM methods to adapt to perceived needs and build the business further. Finally, “reactive” TM focuses on filling the current skill gap to maintain the existing market.

The Symbolic Management of Protest: Conceptualization, Typology, and Patterns in Mexican Protest

AbstractMany protests are met with symbolic responses instead of, or in addition to, concrete actions, yet concessions and repression receive more scholarly attention than any other protest outcome. This article develops a typology of symbolic protest management, the performative or rhetorical responses that are not only directed at a protesting group, but also are intended to influence the public’s understanding of protest events. The typology is structured around two questions: Does the state response treat protests or protesters as legitimate? And does the state respond in a way that signals a resolution of the conflict? Then, using original data on protest in Mexico, the article explores patterns of symbolic response to protest in Mexico.

Money management over the course of marriage: Parenthood, employment and household financial organization in Japan.

In Japan, differentiated gender expectations are strongly emphasized and Japanese wives shoulder the majority of the domestic work. Although previous research has examined the gendered division of paid and unpaid work in Japan, much less attention has been paid to household money management patterns among Japanese couples. Traditionally, Japanese women do the household financial organization, regardless of their employment status. Husbands transfer all of their income and other earnings to their wives and receive a monthly allowance as pocket money. We use data from the Japanese Panel Survey of Consumers (JPSC), 1994-2019 waves, to construct fixed-effect models to investigate how parenthood, wife's employment and husband's relative income are associated with different money management systems in Japan. Our findings show that parenthood is positively associated with female money management systems, whereas in dual-earner couples, women are less likely to manage household money. The results suggest that female money management in Japan is positioned as part of the package of wife / mother / homemaker roles and is a "female" task rather than "male". The results also show that the applicability of Western money management typologies and theoretical frameworks is limited for the Japanese context.

Crisis communication and trustworthiness among crisis actors: towards a typology of crisis management difficulties

The concepts of communication and trust play a central role in crisis management. There is a complex nexus between communication and trust building in crisis management, as different activities and processes result in communication and trust building in crisis management. This article argues that communication and trust are two sides of the same crisis management coin: each complements the other. To this end, we reflected on how crisis communication and trust factors could be a tool to amplify or attenuate the level of attention given to creeping crises and how such factors could influence creeping crisis management difficulties. We then proposed a crisis management typology to aid crisis managers in managing the difficulties associated with creeping crises.

Implementing the nature's contributions framework: A case study based on farm typologies in small-scale agroecosystems from the Mexico highlands

IntroductionIntegrating the heterogeneity of small-scale agriculture with the regulation, material, and non-material contributions is key to complementing the rural-support policy instruments. The objectives of the present study were to analyze the diversity of agricultural types of management in small-scale maize agroecosystems and discuss their implications for nature's contributions in the region of Valles Altos, México.MethodsThe methodology was conducted by constructing an agricultural management typology with multivariate statistical analysis for 112 small plots interviews. The operationalization of regulation, material, and non-material nature's contributions was based on the definition and counting of cultural elements from agronomic management for each class of contribution.ResultsThe results indicate three different types of agricultural management defined mainly by the type of seed, the destination of harvest, and the type of tillage. This management diversity is guided by farmers' motivation to achieve food self-sufficiency or generate income from grain sales. Each management type has a unique provision of regulation, material, and no material contributions defined by the use of the native seed, use of stover, and management diversification.DiscussionThe integration of farm typology methods and nature's contributions framework reveals that it is critical to establish new incentives that include the biological and cultural diversity of agroecosystems and the individual motivations of farmers. This may help conserve the natural and cultural values of agriculture and design appropriate incentives for small-scale agriculture.

Management technologization driven by the innovative processes at the enterprises

Introduction . Current economic situation is transforming the management of the national enterprises. This outlines the need for new management approaches focused more on modern technologies which optimize management, economic growth and enhance competitive strengths at the national and international markets. The development of innovative management with its subprocesses is getting more and more relevant. E fficient innovative performance of the economic units and high target indicators mainly depend on the subprocesses’ adjustment to the global economic changes. Purpose . The paper aims to prepare scientific and practical recommendations for designing the tec hnologies for the innovation management implementation, management typology and unification , and the development of a balanced innovation management system for the national enterprises. This system could ensure their timely adjustment to the constant changes. Materials and Methods . The author applies the methods of structural analysis and synthesis, generalization, analogy, system analysis, and optimization. Results. The paper describes the management technology models for the enterprise’s inn ovative processes. Unlike the existing models, the offered ones could visualize their coherent structure, organize end -to-end innovation management, and evaluate the dynamics and quality of inter -process interactions. This could algorithmize the activities aimed to boost the innovative performance of the national enterprises. Scientific findings and suggestions are likely to be useful to adjust the innovation policy, determine the prospects and the fundamental direction of economic growth for nati onal enterprises at the time of global changes. Conclusion . The scientific recommendations and findings from this work can become methodological tools for the industrial enterprises’ managers to solve the economic growth tasks and to strengthen their compe titiveness. Strategically, further research could develop the existing approaches to enterprises’ innovation management, unify methodological tools of innovation management with modern digital technologies.

The Role of Strategic Planning in the Implementation of National Policy in the Russian Federation

Strategic planning acts as a key tool for the preparation and implementation of national policy at the level of state and municipal administration. Given the limited resource capabilities of the budget system of the Russian Federation, the strategy allows us to purposefully solve the tasks set and ensures the implementation of the principle of a multinational state. The purpose of the study is to assess the organizational and legal potential of strategic planning of national policy at the level of the Russian Federation, its subjects and municipalities. The article provides for the application of an institutional approach that allows assessing the effectiveness of national policy management at different levels of public authority. The structural and functional method determined the possibility of evaluating the effectiveness of the national policy management structure. In the course of the research, the potential of the process of planning and implementing national policy is revealed. The scientific significance of the findings lies in the classification of the typology of national policy management in the region and the municipality. The novelty of the work is to identify the features of regional and municipal practices of national policy management.

Care management trajectories of infants with life-limiting conditions who died before 12 months of age; a retrospective patient health record review

PurposeTo characterise the care management trajectories of infants with life-limiting conditions, who died before 12 months, including clinical decision-making processes, identification of triggers that led to changes in care management from cure-orientated to palliative care and specialist palliative care team involvement. Design and methodsRetrospective patient health record review of infants with life-limiting conditions who died before 12 months of age and received care at three hospitals in Western Australia. Two data analysis methods; directed content analysis and process mapping. ResultsA total of 45 patient health records were reviewed. Process mapping led to typology of care management encompassing four trajectories; early de-escalation due to catastrophic event; treatment with curative intent throughout; treatment with curative intent until a significant point; and early treatment limits. Standardised advance care planning processes were used for just over 10% of infants. There was specialist palliative care team involvement for 25% of infants. ConclusionOnly a proportion of infants received early integration of palliative care principles and practices. Infants and their families may benefit from earlier integration of palliative care, and standardised processes for advance care planning that are done in parallel to treatment. Practice implicationsThere is opportunity to further enhance the delivery of palliative care to infants with life-limiting conditions and optimise the experience for families through education for health professionals, implementation of advance care planning and standardisation through policies and clinical practice guidelines.

Synthesizing extreme context studies in project management journals: introducing a time-based project management typology

PurposeThe present article analyses extreme context studies published in leading project management journals with the aim of developing a time-based typology that could be of value for the project community at large.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, the authors reviewed 62 articles on extreme contexts published in three main project management journals (IJMPB, PMJ and IJPM) and two specialized outlets Disaster Prevention and Management (DPM) and International Journal of Disaster Resilience in the Built Environment (IJDRBE).FindingsThe authors present a typology, in which emergency, risky and disrupted (RED) contexts are related to the manageability of time. It shows that when pressure rises, due to high levels of urgency, uncertainty and ambiguity, control over time decreases, causing the organizational response to shift from formalized into improvised.Research limitations/implicationsBased on this review, the authors theorize the influence of extreme contexts on project management in general.Originality/valueThe study responds to the scholarly call to advance the academic debate on the relatedness of project and temporary organizations by perceiving temporality as a continuum.

Show Me What You Do and I Will Tell You Who You Are: A Cluster Typology of Supply Chain Risk Management in SMEs

Although research on risk management (RM) in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in general and regarding supply chains (SCs) has increased recently, our understanding is still rather fragmented and underdeveloped. This refers particularly to new types of risks such as dynamic crises or emerging risks associated with digital transformation (DT). Therefore, the purpose of this exploratory paper is to investigate RM in SMEs in SCs. More precisely, the aim is to identify patterns that can be used to group SMEs according to their risk behavior (i.e., risk attitude and perception). Drawing from a data set of 181 European SMEs, this paper empirically conceptualizes a typology of SMEs. The typology consists of four distinct types of SMEs that emerged from a cluster analysis: collective risk eliminators, collective playing it safe seekers, collective risk-ignoring knights of fortune, and collective neglecting imperturbable ones. The findings indicate that different risk behavior leads to different degrees of collaboration within the SC. Furthermore, the close interconnection between RM as found in the different clusters and the respective firm’s innovation performance can be shown. By acknowledging the heterogeneity found in SMEs, this paper breaks away from mainstream research that tends to consider SMEs as a homogeneous entity.

Tailoring management practices to the structure of smallholder households in Sudano-Sahelian Burkina Faso: Evidence from current practices

CONTEXTTypologies are widely used to tailor management practices to structural farm households, and to identify recommendation domains. However, it has often been shown that the recommendations are not followed by farmers, especially in the agricultural context of sub-Saharan Africa. OBJECTIVEWe aimed to identify links between a typology based on the structure of farm households and a typology based on farmers' management practices adopted by farmers in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Burkina Faso. METHODSWe co-developed socio-economic and technical survey with agronomists and socio-economists and collected data on 291 smallholder farming households. We used principal component analysis, followed by hierarchical clustering to build two typologies: a farm household typology and a farm management typology and analyzed the link between the two. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONSOur typologies distinguished 4 types of farm households and 3 types of farm management. Although we expected to find a dominant farm management type for each type of farm household, we show that the use of the typology is not sufficient to disentangle the intra-diversity of farm household types, as, except for large-scale cotton producers, of whom 94% fall in the mineral input user category, all the farmers do not use the same set of management practices. For instance, 29.5% of medium-scale cotton-based farm types do not match the “mineral input users” type, but are characterized by their use of mulch and cereal-legume crop rotation. Based on our empirical data, we show that promoting a basket of options (a set of management practices) based on a typology of farm household structure may not always be appropriate. Moving from theory (i.e. use of typology to define ‘best fit’) to practice (i.e. collecting data on actual agricultural practices), we show that using a combined typology approach will reveal matches and mismatches when practices are tailored to a given farm type. SIGNIFICANCEIn addition to using a farm household typology to tailor practices, we also define a limited set of locally relevant variables that are representative of the diversity of farmers' practices.

Los espacios públicos de gestión ciudadana Nuevas formas de gestión público-comunitaria en Zaragoza (España)

Analysis of urban governance models becomes evident the different attitude among cities in light of the possibility of meeting new ways of local public management. Most notably since the crisis of 2008 this was made clear in different European cities when several social actors began to claim the so-called “public-communitarian management”. One of the fields where the implementation of this type of management has been raised most frequently is that of the social centres. The article proposes the term “citizen management public spaces” in referring to these experiences. The research focuses in the city of Zaragoza (Spain) analysing two particularly relevant cases and based in a qualitative methodology including the conduct of 30 in-depth interviews with members of the local government team, councillors of the opposition parties, municipal technicians and advisers as well as the different social actors involved in the centres management. Conclusions highlight that while the opening to this management typology raises tensions and problems of varied nature, it does mean an opportunity to bring in the reform of the state agenda the citizen demand of greater participation and local institutions democratization.

Reformists, Decouplists, and Activists: A Typology of Ecocentric Management

Ecocentric management has grown in interest in business sustainability research, driven by recent debates on sustainability-as-flourishing and novel nature-based business approaches. While relevant and promising, examination and explanations remain anchored in conventional dualistic thinking and piecemeal logics. In this article, we seek to understand what conditions or combination of conditions enable the formation of ecocentrism in business management. Drawing on deep ecology and ecocentric philosophy, we develop a conceptual framework for ecocentric management, comprising ecological sensing, envisioning, and enacting. Leveraging this framework and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis, we map the responses of 160 small business owners and managers in Chile. Our analyses reveal three configurations of conditions, forming a typology of ecocentric management: Market Reformist, Legitimated Decouplist, and Self-Centered Activist. The article offers a new conceptual apparatus and systemic characterization of ecocentrism in business sustainability. It shows what matters and when for the formation of ecocentric thinking and decision-making in management.
