The Open Space Office and the Relationship with the Shift in Social Meaning

The development of the organizational structure is necessitating additional office space. However, not all offices are inclined to expand their spatial resources. Those designed with a closed layout face challenges in meeting the spatial demands posed by the evolving organizational structure. In such cases, transitioning to an open-space office design presents a viable solution. On the other hand, the transition often gives rise to issues pertaining to the social dynamics between leaders and employees, as it disrupts established traditions, leading to a shift in the perceived significance of office space. Understanding this shift within the workplace requires an effective examination of the empirical phenomenon. Moreover, it demands a strong theoretical foundation to develop a precise conceptual framework. Design science serves as a problem-solving approach, addressing the physical elements of structural organization systematically to achieve desired outcomes. This problem-solving process is intricately connected to how individuals respond to their workspace. One of the key design challenges revolves around spatial users and their proximity. The proximity is closely intertwined with the requirements for personal spaces, which significantly impacts privacy. Achieving this balance is accomplished through the application of ergonomic principles and the understanding of proxemic distances. This study used the design method and integrated design thinking theory into the strategic process. The primary objectives of the analysis were twofold, including (1) to reconsider traditional design approaches based on absolutes of right or wrong, likes or dislikes, suitability or unsuitability, and precision or imprecision, and (2) to embrace changes aimed at enhancing the existing workspace without expanding the spatial area while ensuring a seamless workflow for employees.

Interactions between Design Innovation and Educational Change in Non-Western Schools

In Western countries, school systems have employed modern school building designs as symbols for progressive and innovative educational change. Yet, how does this design symbolism change teaching and learning? To address this, we examine the challenges and complexities of innovative school design by drawing on case studies of preschool and primary-level schools from non-Western cultural contexts. A conceptual framework that links social, organisational, cultural, and material elements is used to analyse two new schools in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Uruguay that used modern school designs as a basis for changes to local pedagogical approaches. Our findings suggest that school building design is not able, by itself, to drive educational changes; and that there are inherent challenges involved in its alignment with localities in terms of staff cultures, student dynamics, and school organisation. Special focus is given to the design of the new school facilities, and the voice of educators in this process. The conclusion points out the need for an adaptive alignment between non-Western educational conventions and introduced education and design concepts.

A Managerial Development Model for Promoting Elite Futsal Players at University

Background and Aim: As the sports industry develops and society pursues a healthy lifestyle, sports are becoming increasingly important in higher education. Futsal, due to its relatively low requirements for field facilities, is more suitable for implementation on university campuses. However, despite the high popularity of futsal on university campuses, most universities' futsal training focuses more on popularization and entertainment, without giving enough attention to the improvement of competitive levels. The purpose of this study was to construct a managerial development model for promoting elite futsal players in university. Materials and Methods: This study is a survey type. The population of this research includes Sampling includes 7 expert interviews. 250 elite futsal players and 20 coaches for the questionnaire method for drafting the managerial development model. 19 experts will be selected to construct the development model for elite futsal players by the Delphi consensus method. 9 experts will be used to verify the draft of the managerial development model for elite futsal players. Using questions created by the researcher that are based on the POLC theories. After analyzing the data, the researcher drafted the managerial development model. After that, send the managerial development model to experts for improvement. Complete editing in the Delphi consensus method and final confirmation with the connoisseurship method by experts. Result: After constructing the draft of the managerial development model for developing elite futsal players in the university, it was found that there were 12 planning elements, 11 organization elements, 14 leading elements, and 8 controlling elements, totaling 45 elements. There are two elements with a mean of 4.44 “A policy has been established to promote elite athletes in universities”, and “Relevant personnel is promoted to attend training in various courses to develop the organization's knowledge in preparing a team of elite futsal athletes”, showing that these three elements are highly effective in use. The remaining elements have an average of 4.56 to 4.76, indicating that these elements are very highly effective in their application. Conclusion: In the development of elite futsal athletes, the experts highlighted that many universities lack a clear management service system structure. This deficiency extends to areas such as budget management within the organization, the allocation of personnel appropriate to their roles and responsibilities, and the preparation of equipment and venues. Consequently, the management plan system lacks specificity. The university should clearly adhere to this policy by allocating time effectively to students. One of the key issues is the lack of communication and collaboration among personnel involved in developing futsal athletes within the university. Additionally, balancing the demands of both learning and studying is in alignment with the established educational system.

From sequence to simultaneity: tonalities and organizational change in digitalized organizations

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to inspire a different way of thinking about digitalization and organizational change by theorizing simultaneity as an alternative to the otherwise dominant root metaphor of sequence in the literature on digitalization and organizational change.Design/methodology/approachThe theoretical argument is based on a reading of central contributions to the literature on digital technology and organizational change, and particularly inspired by the work positing a constitutive entanglement of technology and organization. We argue for an extension of this line of thinking with a reading of Latour’s notion tonalities. The relevance of the theoretical argument is demonstrated through an illustrative empirical example of the phenomenon digital-ready legislation.FindingsThe paper identifies sequence as a root metaphor in the organization and digital change literature. It develops a simultaneity view and illustrates its relevance through the example of digital-ready legislation, pinpointing how technological, organizational and legal elements are attuned to one another at the same time rather than in sequence.Practical implicationsThe sequentiality view has dominated the change management research, which has travelled from research into practice. The simultaneity view has the potential to offer a new approach to planning change, with a focus on the simultaneous alignment of, e.g. legal, organizational and technological elements.Originality/valueThe paper offers an alternative to dominant views on digitalization and organizational change, drawing on an overlooked notion in Latour’s scholarship, namely tonalities. This has potential to qualify the entanglement thesis and develop simultaneity as a new metaphor for understanding digital change.

Optimizing Public Service through Innovative Talent Management Strategies for Public Officials: A Case Study in the Riau Islands Province

Talent Management is a crucial element for public organizations, which includes absorbing, identifying, and retaining civil servants who have outstanding talents in each organization and make a significant contribution to the progress of public organizations to create excellent public services. A talent management model in the public sector, especially at the local government level, is needed because approximately 80% of civil servants are placed in the regions, and the dynamics of the bureaucratic environment are more dynamic and complex. The Riau Archipelago Province is one of the areas that has implemented a merit system, but the career pattern could have gone better. This study aims to analyze strategies for implementing Talent Management to accelerate bureaucratic reform and manage the capacity of civil servants in the Provincial Government of the Riau Archipelago. This research method uses a qualitative exploratory case study methodology. The results of this study show that the Riau Islands Provincial Government has not implemented Talent Management for civil servants by the mandate of the PAN RB Ministerial Regulation Number 3 of 2020, which is currently in the preparation stage of regulations in the form of a Governor's Regulation concerning the Management of Civil Servants Talents in the Islands Provincial Government Riau. Therefore, aspects of career development in the merit system must be a significant concern so that the Riau Islands Provincial Government can meet the desired targets.

The Mandate of Project Management Offices Beyond Organizational Boundaries—Still A Blind Spot for Organizational Design?

Based on conceptual reasoning, combined with illustrations from the air cargo industry, this article proposes a gradual broadening of the concept of what project management offices (PMOs) are responsible for to provide added value to the collaborating organizations when planning for and executing inter­organizational projects. Thus far, the ability of PMOs to support interorganizational projects and practices has been restricted—this goes for project management practice as well as a lack of concepts and theoretical reasoning from research in the domain of project studies. Against this background, this article distinguishes four types of PMOs and identifies promising organizational design elements pointing to functions and barriers, as well as to the interorganizational bridging practices of PMOs in support of their inter­organizational responsibilities.

Enhancing Fire Resilience in High-Tech Electronic Plants for Sustainable Development: Combining System Composition with Organizational Management

In the realm of sustainable advancements, high-tech electronics plants have evolved concomitantly with the innovations in environmentally conscious high-tech manufacturing. Nonetheless, the potential for fires in these establishments presents a profound challenge, jeopardizing both human resources and assets, while also bearing ecological implications. However, difficulty exists in understanding the system composition and fire protection features specific to the production environment. Meanwhile, sustainable development-oriented organizational countermeasures for fire resilience are rarely explored in the operations environment. Through a literature review, hypotheses development, an industrial survey, and PLS-SEM analysis using data from 84 questionnaires, this research aims to fill this gap by analyzing the system composition of high-tech electronics plants and its influence on fire resilience, emphasizing the organizational perspective. This study delves into the fire resilience of high-tech electronics plants, drawing particular attention to the imperative of fire prevention, detection, and mitigation measures. The discourse is framed within the paradigm of design-for-sustainability thinking, underscoring the integration of sustainable practices in enhancing fire resilience. By examining the interplay between various functional and organizational system composition elements, three key aspects are extracted to enhance fire resilience: (1) fire protection design measure improvement, (2) sustainable and fireproof construction facility, and (3) organizational management support. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the complex nature of high-tech electronics plants, and provide actionable insights for enhancing both fire resilience and sustainable practices in these establishments.

What is the link between internal communication, organizational culture and environmental strategy? The context of company size and employee perception

PurposeThe article explores the linkages between the type of environmental strategy (ES), the use of internal communication (IC), and the greening of organizational culture (OC). Moreover, the article empirically examines whether company size matters in the use of environmental IC practices in the green context. Additionally, the article considers differences between people employed at different organizational hierarchy levels. The basis for such a comparison is their opinions about the effectiveness of communication practices.Design/methodology/approachEmpirical research employed a survey method done on 199 organizations in 2020. Statistical analyses used the chi-squared test, Kendall’s Tau-b correlation coefficient, and the Mann–Whitney U test.FindingsThe research showed that companies with a proactive green strategy more often use different communication practices related to ES and have a greener culture. The study proved that larger companies more often use the analyzed communication practices. However, we found no significant difference in opinion between middle managers and line employees about the effectiveness of these practices.Practical implicationsThe main contribution to business practice is the exploratory model based on the empirical study, which allows organizations to successfully implement the ES.Originality/valueStudies rarely combine the three organizational elements: IC, OC, and ES. This article provides new empirical evidence on relationships between features of OC, green strategy types, and communication practices.

A tale of 2 digital hospitals: A qualitative study of antimicrobial stewardship teams.

We aim to examine and understand the work processes of antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) teams across 2 hospitals that use the same digital intervention, and to identify the barriers and enablers to effective AMS in each setting. Employing a contextual inquiry approach informed by the Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS) model, observations and semistructured interviews were conducted with AMS team members (n= 15) in 2 Australian hospitals. Qualitative data analysis was conducted, mapping themes to the SEIPS framework. Both hospitals utilized similar systems, however, they displayed variations in AMS processes, particularly in postprescription review, interdepartmental AMS meetings and the utilization of digital tools. An antimicrobial dashboard was available at both hospitals but was utilized more at the hospital where the AMS team members were involved in the dashboard's development, and there were user champions. At the hospital where the dashboard was utilized less, participants were unaware of key features, and interoperability issues were observed. Establishing strong relationships between the AMS team and prescribers emerged as key to effective AMS at both hospitals. However, organizational and cultural differences were found, with 1 hospital reporting insufficient support from executive leadership, increased prescriber autonomy and resource constraints. Organizational and cultural elements, such as executive support, resource allocation and interdepartmental relationships, played a crucial role in achieving AMS goals. System interoperability and user champions further promoted the adoption of digital tools, potentially improving AMS outcomes through increased user engagement and acceptance.
