The interaction of organizational politics and political skill on employees' exposure to workplace cyberbullying: the conservation of resources theory perspective

PurposeConsidering the detrimental impact of workplace cyberbullying on employees and organizations, it is necessary to understand factors that potentially induce employees to engage in cyberbullying and to recognize personal characteristics that may help employees mitigate its impact. This research applies the conservation of resources (COR) theory to investigate the effect of organizational politics and political skill on employees' exposure to workplace cyberbullying as well as to analyze the subsequent impact on emotional exhaustion. Moreover, the interaction effect of political skill and organizational politics on employees' exposure to workplace cyberbullying is analyzed.Design/methodology/approachThe total of 358 complete questionnaires were obtained from one medium-sized public university in Thailand. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the data.FindingsThe analysis supports the positive association between organizational politics and employees' exposure to workplace cyberbullying. Employees' exposure to workplace cyberbullying also has a positive association with emotional exhaustion. On the other hand, the analysis showed that political skill has a negative association with employees' exposure to workplace cyberbullying. The result from the moderating effect analysis further shows that political skill also reduces the impact of organizational politics on employees' exposure to workplace cyberbullying.Originality/valueThe incorporation of the COR theory provides theoretical insight into how political skill of employees can buffer the impact of organizational politics on exposure to workplace cyberbullying. It advances the knowledge found in previous research that lacked solid theory to explain the interaction between organizational politics and political skill of employees in the area of workplace cyberbullying.

Socio-Technical Ecosystem Considerations: An Emergent Research Agenda for AI in Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity continues to be a key element of national security. Given that critical infrastructure is powered by digital systems, any disruption to the flow of vital services has the potential effect of causing harm to citizens, organizations, and government entities. The availability of service offerings may be subject to attacks by AI on various aspects of cyber-physical-social systems. And no system is foolproof. Inasmuch as AI can be a threat to cybersecurity, it can also be used to combat attempts at systems penetration through deep learning and other capabilities. However, focusing our attention on AI alone does not allow for a sufficiently accurate understanding of the complex ecosystem that contributes to the conflicting scenarios that are possible in the context of AI in cybersecurity. This Special Issue provides insights into the broader socio-technical ecosystem considerations that are required for the achievement of system robustness, allowing for a more intricate and balanced understanding of the role of AI in cybersecurity, at various levels relevant to individuals, organizations, and communities/ society. Fundamentally, the socio-technical approach calls for an emphasis on people, processes, and technology, and not solely on the shiny gadgetry that we call products. There are four main themes that form the emergent research agenda: 1) the cybersecurity ecosystem that demands an interdisciplinary approach; 2) the state of the art technology development processes and landscape that provide and facilitate cybersecurity mechanisms and competitive advantage through AI; 3) the interconnected and multifaceted nature of the social, technical, and environmental subsystems in the cybersecurity ecosystem; and 4) the emphasis on human requirements and values, inclusive of end-user capacity and awareness, organizational capability and skills development, and societal considerations inclusive of the public interest.

Development of Organizational Communication Competence of University Executive Secretaries in the Digital Age : A Case Study of between the Autonomous University and State University

The study main objectives are 1) to explore the problems and challenges of organizational communication issues faced by university administrators’ executive secretaries in the digital age. Duties and responsibilities performed by executive secretaries of autonomous or of state universities in the present circumstances were investigated; 2) to compare the two groups in respect of a demand to improve organizational communication skills; and 3) to suggest some guidelines and recommendations for more effective communication skills among these staff personnel. Using purposive sampling, the researcher collected the data from 303 individuals serving as executive secretaries in an autonomous or in a state university. The study used purposive sampling for informant selection. Interviews and questionnaires are tools used to collect data. The statistics for data analysis included percentage, mean, frequency, standard deviation, t- and F-tests. The results showed that : 1. Both types of sample groups, i.e. executive secretaries of autonomous and of state universities revealed a high level of demand to develop their knowledge competencies for performing duties (M= 4.40). The requirement subcomponents were telephone etiquette; social media savvy skills, e.g. Line and Facebook mastery; and effective time-management to help them achieve their goals (M=4.55, 4.52, and 4.48 respectively). The needs to improve comprehensive skill development were at a high level (M=4.32). The subcomponents disclosed a demand for developing effective communication and teamwork skills; social media savviness; and emotional intelligence for coping with stress at work, (M= 4.47, 4.42 and 4.40 respectively). The needs for improvement of secretarial desirable skills were at the highest level (M=4.55). When considering the top 3 aspects, the personnel performing duties as executive secretaries showed the need to develop desirable attributes in a prioritized order as follows: integrity at work and loyalty to supervisor; maintaining confidentiality for supervisors; as well as accountability and punctuality (M=4.66, 4.64 and 4.61 respectively), all of which falls within the highest level of measurement. 2. Statistically significant differences were observed between executive secretaries of both autonomous and state universities with regard to their need levels to enhance professional skills, organizational communication, knowledge and competencies (p<.05). However, no significant difference was observed between the two groups regarding desirable characteristics.

Establishment of a Fellowship in Street Medicine.

The American Medical Association recognizes street homelessness as a significant barrier to the provision of high-quality care.1 Traditional medical training provides inadequate preparation for physicians to manage persons experiencing unsheltered homelessness (PEUH). Street medicine is the direct provision of health care and social support to PEUH,2 who experience high barriers to needed care and tend to use acute hospital-based care at high rates.3We established a street medicine fellowship to enable physicians to acquire the requisite clinical and organizational skills to become leaders in improving outcomes in this vulnerable population.The UPMC Mercy Street Medicine Fellowship is the first of its kind. This one-year, one fellow per year program was initiated in 2019 by UPMC Mercy, Pennsylvania. The fellowship accepts applications from physicians who have completed a residency in internal medicine, family medicine, emergency medicine, or psychiatry, and who seek to develop expertise in caring for PEUH while also participating in multidisciplinary care to enable them to serve as future leaders in this field. At the end of the fellowship training a survey is sent to learners.Fellows are instructed in comprehensive management of PEUH. The program uses the “go-to people” approach to health care as promoted by the Street Medicine Institute. Fellows are challenged to set aside the mindset of the “office approach,” which often does not embrace unique social determinants of health, and round 3 to 4 times per week on the streets, on the riverbanks, and in homeless encampments, including general rounds, targeted case management rounds, and specialty rounds (eg, psychiatric, harm reduction, intimate partner violence, etc). They participate in additional outpatient clinics, 3 half days per week, which have been established for PEUH and for those who have transitioned from street homelessness into housing. Fellows maintain this continuity group of patients throughout the fellowship year. Home visits are also conducted for newly placed patients.Fellows apply the concept of “community united” so that changes initiated in one community are spread to others. They utilize multidisciplinary mentors and engage in productive communication with experts in street medicine. They conduct a formal comparative analysis of 2 communities in which street medicine is practiced to further develop insight into improvement opportunities as well as attend the annual International Street Medicine Symposium as a learning activity and for academic presentation as applicable.Fellows are assessed monthly according to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education's Core Competencies. Fellows also complete a monthly evaluation of their assigned experience. Lastly, fellows are surveyed at the completion of the year (Figure).Our first fellow now carries a university faculty position in another city. She teaches in the outpatient setting and has integrated clinical street work with community initiatives, a street medicine interest group, and a peer outreach group. Our second fellow is practicing emergency medicine in another city and incorporating her skills to improve care in that setting for PEUH.Although our program is young, our graduates have affirmed that formal fellowship training in street medicine is a viable yet heretofore unexplored avenue toward more effectively addressing society's responsibility toward PEUH.

Paragraph Organization Errors in the Writing of Pakistani College-Going Students: An Error Analysis Study

Writing something worthy of reading in a foreign language is a challenging task. Students learning English as a foreign or a second language suffer most in writing especially in paragraph writing. Although studies have been conducted to explore language errors in English composition of Pakistani students, paragraph organization errors have received little attention. Therefore, this study investigated errors in the unity, development, and coherence in the paragraphs written by Pakistani college students. Besides, the study also explored the factors that cause errors in the paragraphs. In this regard, writing samples of purposively selected 20 college participants were analyzed using error analysis classification by Liu and Wang (2011). Thereafter, five participants were interviewed individually through semi-structured interviews to explore factors that cause errors in the paragraphs of college students. The findings revealed that the students made most errors in paragraph unity, followed by paragraph development, and then paragraph coherence. Besides, the thematic analysis of the interviews revealed that cramming culture, excessive attention given to grammar and lack of quality feedback were the key factors that had affected the paragraph organization skills of these students. The study discusses implications for students and teachers.

YOUTH BANKS AS AN INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR YOUTH PARTICIPATION

One of the forms of youth participation that has proved its effectiveness is represented by youthbanks, which successfully operate in different countries of the world. A youth bank is a youthorganization, which supports youth initiatives by providing financial aid for youth projects, whichare being implemented by youth in territorial communities. There are several models for organization of youth bank operations, but the major “features” that differentiate youth banks from other youth programs are that young people conduct grant competitions of youth projects by themselves as well as on their own collect funds for financial aid of projects-winners of the competition. In Ukraine youth initiative banks have been operating since 2008 and mainly organized by localcommunity foundations. The majority of youth projects, winners of grant competitions, are aimed at municipal improvement of residential areas and providing aid for socially vulnerable categories of population. Participants of a youth bank organize different charity events in order to raise funds for grant support of youth projects. Activities of youth initiative banks are aimed, first of all, at: stirring up project activities in the youthenvironment; attracting resources for youth projects; youth participation in the decision-making processes and development of local communities; training of leaders and raising a youth expert community.Promotion of youth initiative banks in Ukraine as an efficient tool for building up a socially active life stand, leadership and organizational skills of young people, requires studying of national experience and development of recommendations for organizing work of charitable youth associations

The Role Macrosystems as Main Proponent of the Ecology Approach in Scientific Writing Learning

The ecological approach is very appropriate for understanding mental, psychosocial, and linguistic development. The aims of this study is to describe the perceptions of sociocultural ecology in agro-industrial societies and their impact on scientific writing competence. Data were obtained by observation and questionnaires on 90 students at the University of Jember as student representatives with an agro-industry environment and their involvement in research and learning texts about agro-industry in the field of writing. The results show that there are groups with high sociocultural ecological perception and knowledge values and groups with low perception and knowledge values. To see the urgency of perception and knowledge of scientific writing competence, these students took a writing test and then the results were examined in terms of reasoning, text organization skills, and procedural knowledge. After the statistical tests were carried out, it was concluded that the perception and knowledge of the agro-industry macrosystem had a significant effect on students' reasoning abilities, significance (sig) 0.032 <0.05; does not have a significant effect on text organization competence with a significance value (sig) 0.067 > 0.05; and has a significant effect on procedural knowledge with a significance value (sig) 0.032 <0.05. These results indicate that the scientific productive competence of language with an ecological approach from the macrosystem aspect needs to pay attention to creativity. Greater efforts are needed to improve the development of writing on the components of unity, continuity, completeness, sequence, and point of view consistency.

The influence of educational administration on reflective teaching and educational leadership qualities at Tabuk University

This research was conducted with the intention of examining the characteristics of illustrative academic administrators as well as the advantages of analytical thinking for employees working in managerial positions. In addition, the methods by which educational administrators acquire competencies in management, their techniques for evaluating their skills and behaviors, the manner in which they question teacher’s administration and their own individual creations, and the ways in which they debate the leadership of the tea party were also among the topics that were investigated. It was found out that school administrators' previous experiences in administrative roles are taken into account when deciding whether or not they would be promoted to management positions. The areas of reflective thinking that are required of educational leaders include education-training, help for students and academic laws, interaction, problem-solving, subject matter knowledge in sociology, subject matter expertise in legal freedoms and rights, and mathematical skills. In order to stay current with current educational practices, it is recommended that principals and other school administrators attend classes for a few hours each week. The ability to think critically enables managers to study a situation from a variety of perspectives, which in turn improves their capacity to solve problems. Team members should participate in group refraction to improve communication. An intelligent academic administrator is neutral, unbiased, equitable, problem-solving, beneficial, and powerful in human connections, open-minded, constantly and actively pondering, and accessible. Critical thinking requires openness to new ideas, preparation for a scenario's consequences, and self-reflection in every situation. It improves interpersonal, decision-making, collaboration, corporate, organizational, and evaluative skills. Reflective administrators engage in communication with others to avoid alienating themselves and hindering advancement.

Beyond the conservative hypothesis: a meta-analysis of lexical-semantic processing in Williams syndrome

AbstractWilliams syndrome (WS) is a rare genetic disorder, characterised at the cognitive level by a phenotypic pattern of relative weaknesses (e.g., visuospatial skills) and strengths (e.g., some linguistic and nonverbal reasoning skills). In this study, we performed a systematic search and meta-analysis on lexical-semantic processing in WS, an area of knowledge in which contradictory results have been obtained. We found 42 studies matching our criteria, and, in total, 78 effect sizes were included in the meta-analysis. Results showed that individuals with WS have worse lexical-semantic skills than individuals with typical development, whether matched by chronological or mental age. However, people with WS have better lexical-semantic skills than people diagnosed with other cognitive disabilities. Finally, vocabulary skills seem to be relatively spared in WS, although they present some difficulties in semantic processing/integration, semantic memory organisation and verbal working memory skills. Taken together, these results support a neuroconstructivist approach, according to which the cognitive mechanisms involved in lexical-semantic processing may be modulated, even when performance in some tasks (i.e., vocabulary tasks) might be optimal.

Eclectic-Procedural Innovation Management Approach with Regard to Community Management Within the German-Language Gaming Industry

The gaming industry faces several challenges, such as inefficient development processes, shorter product lifecycles, dynamic knowledge, high staff turnover, and heterogeneous IT structures. To address these issues, this paper proposes an eclectic-procedural innovation management approach that integrates knowledge management methods and processes for the optimal cybernetic systematization of innovation management elements within the German-language gaming industry. Drawing on the human, organizational, and technological (HOT-Fit) model, this approach aims to enable gaming companies to analyze, assess, and optimize innovation management using agile and adaptive methods. The concept also involves modifications to the matrix organization and emphasizes the importance of open innovation, community management, and promoter functions. The eclectic approach offers several benefits, including greater efficiency in innovation processes, reduced risks, the exploitation of knowledge and innovation potential, and the preservation of innovation power. However, a shift in mindset is required to systematically implement this approach in a process-oriented manner, focusing on improving organizational skills and adapting to the changing landscape of the gaming industry.

Virtual onboarding and socialization, an exploration of employee discussions and experiences

PurposeDuring the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, employers struggled to develop virtual onboarding (VO) experiences among new employees. Prior research has examined VO processes. This study, by contrast, compares online commentaries in relation to current research findings to determine a functional description of effective VO.Design/methodology/approachUsing a qualitative, inductive thematic analysis, the researchers explored new employees' online, anonymous, public commentary about the employers' VO experiences. Through analyzing 83 posted communications, the researchers sought to not only categorize themes, but to also identify meaning within the employees' commentary. From the thematic analysis, meaningful themes were established and compared to existing literature to identify comprehensive trends in effective VO.FindingsThe analysis developed nine themes of discussion question (DQ) prompts and nine themes of discussion responses. The professionals' online discussion about VO in the workplace as well as attributes of each theme was compared to contemporary VO research. In combination with a review of established literature of effective VO and an examination of organizational socialization theory, the study confirms that some virtually onboarded employees are excelling with, and some are challenged by the communication deficiencies of the remote experience. Employee experiences are highlighted to develop a description of contemporary effective VO experiences to support future workplace efficiencies.Research limitations/implicationsData were gathered via Blind and each response shared on Blind is subject to the viewpoint of the participants. For future research, face-to-face interviews might offer context regarding new hires' VO experiences. Also the generalizability is impacted because not all participants of VO participate via Blind. Participant bias is possible given the perceived dissatisfaction or negative experiences. Future research can perform a national random study of employees. Finally, the data and participants in this study were USA based. Future research should consider other international contexts such as Europe.Practical implicationsThe thematic findings of this study yield valuable practical recommendations. New hires that experience VO are seeking improved virtual communication channels between themselves and the managers and colleagues of the hires. As such, corporate managers/trainers can implement a virtual mentoring program to have senior employees prepare and guide new hires into employees' new remote working environment to reduce employees' uncertainty. To improve VO processes in a post-pandemic society, corporate managers/trainers can incorporate social media communication given that employees participate in social media to develop their careers. With social media work groups, new virtual hires can be better socialized through effective peer-to-peer informal internal communications where the hires can freely ask questions and build better work relationships.Social implicationsIn each onboarding experience and evident in each of the five themes, learning is an underlying concept. New employees are describing that it is challenging to development organizational shared values, skills, attitudes, knowledge, abilities, behaviors and relationships in a VO process. As organizational leaders continue to develop VO experiences, a focus on learning as dependent on the virtual learning process and content can be significant in terms of creating a positive employee VO learning experience.Originality/valueThe findings are unique in exploring new hires' self-reported VO experiences. This study offers insight into effective VO practices such as developing virtual trainings that are well planned, engaging and supporting of relationships, collaborations and career goals.

These attempts are meaningful in proposing new educational methods, and the results of this study suggest that data literacy is important as a way to adapt to a rapidly changing society, as well as the need for research on developing various educational programs to cultivate them.

Domestic researchers who have made important contributions to the study of digestive system diseases: images in art. Mykola Dmytrovych Strazhesko

In his doctoral thesis, young M. D. Strazhesko described a number of important physiological patterns in the activity of the dog’s intestines. M. D. Strazhesko was one of the first authors in world literature to present information about the nature of the juice in different parts of the colon, especially in the caecum. At the same time, his attention was drawn to another new question about the specific sensitivity of the intestinal mucosa. «The specific sensitivity of the mucous membrane at the end of the small intestine is very different from the sensitivity of the mucous membrane in the large intestine», he noted. «While the mucosa of the former has a very high sensitivity, the mucosa of the colon is not very sensitive».
 M. D. Strazhesko described the symptom complex of the mobile caecum and the observation of hemorrhagic pancreatitis with a retroperitoneal abscess, which was common at that time.
 The well‑known clinical manual «Fundamentals of Physical Diagnosis of Abdominal Diseases», which went through four editions, was published. In this manual, a separate lecture is devoted to the study of the pancreas. M. D. Strazhesko described in detail the technique of abdominal examination and percussion, palpation of the pancreas, pain zones and spots, and the interpretation of the X‑ray examination results in its pathology.
 In 1924, V. P. Obraztsov’s monograph «Diseases of the Stomach, Intestines, and Peritoneum» was published, in which some chapters were completed by M. D. Strazhesko. After that, in the years 1927 and 1928, he wrote monographs about the clinical picture of colitis and peptic ulcer. With his great observation skills as a thoughtful clinician, M. D. Strazhesko described the intravital diagnosis of occlusion of the right branch of the portal vein (1934).
 The breadth of scientific interests of M. D. Strazhesko was truly extraordinary. In addition to research in gastroenterology and cardiology, he fruitfully studied the peculiarities of the clinical course of infectious diseases and metabolic disorders, diseases of the respiratory and urinary organs, problems of gerontology, fatigue, shock, and clinical hematology. On his initiative, the Ukrainian Institute of Clinical Medicine was created. Physiological orientation dominated all the works of the institute.
 M. D. Strazhesko published more than 200 works. He devoted a number of articles to the history of medicine, the role of outstanding medical figures. A great merit of Mykola Dmytrovych was his popularization activity. He is known not only as a lecturer covering general medical topics, but also as the author of more than 20 articles published in newspapers and non‑medical journals. His organizational skills also gained general recognition. He created a clinical school. Under his supervision, 18 candidate theses were completed. Mykola Dmytrovych was the scientific supervisor of 17 doctoral students. Two of his students — B. X. Vasylenko and D. F. Chebotaryov became academicians of the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR
