“I Deserve Better” – The Lived Experience of Toxic Leadership among IT Employees
No full textThis study investigates the lived experiences of individuals who have been subjected to toxic leadership to elucidate its complex and extensive impact on the lives of subordinates. The primary focus was on survivors who navigated the challenges posed by toxic leadership and its detrimental consequences. Employing Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), the researchers conducted an in-depth examination of the experiences of five participants, emphasizing depth and nuance over breadth. Through the analysis, six key themes emerged: excessive workload, breakdown of trust, personal sacrifices, psychological effects, emotional spillover, and expectations imposed by managers on employees. Collectively, these themes offer a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the profound disruptions that toxic leadership can inflict on subordinates\u27 professional and personal lives
Firearm Violence Prevention: Analysis of Physical Therapy Political Action Committee Financial Contributions and Congressional Voting
No full textPurpose. The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) declared firearm violence a public health crisis in 2019. This investigation aimed to understand relationships between the amount of APTA political action committee (PTPAC) donations received by a federal candidate and (1) their voting records on FV prevention legislation; and (2) their voting records on other APTA-supported legislation. Methods. Data pertaining to the identification and amount of PTPAC donations to federal Congressional candidates during the 2020 and 2022 election cycles were gathered from the public resource, Open Secrets. Public voting records were compiled on firearm and other APTA-supported legislation. Results. 222 candidates received PTPAC funding, ranging from 10,000. A significant negative correlation was found between Congressmembers’ support for FV prevention legislation and the amount of money that PTPAC donated to those legislators (r = 0.22, p = 0.002). PTPAC also gave a significantly lower mean contribution to Congressmembers who voted in favor (4,416) other APTA-supported legislation (p=0.02). Conclusions. This investigation revealed an inverse relationship between PTPAC funding allocation and Congressmembers’ support for both firearm violence prevention and other APTA-supported legislation. The finding that candidates receiving higher PTPAC contributions were more likely to vote against APTA-supported policies merits further investigation in the effectiveness of current funding strategies in advancing the organization’s policy objectives. Metric driven re-evaluation of PTPAC funding priorities and criteria for candidate support should be conducted to better align funding decisions with the APTA’s public health initiatives
Institutional Prestige and Prerequisite Performance as Predictors of Academic Success in Doctor of Physical Therapy Programs: A Pilot Retrospective Cohort Study
No full textPurpose: This pilot study examined relationships between Carnegie Classification levels of undergraduate institutions, prerequisite anatomy and physiology (AP) performance, and academic success in Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) education. Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed records from 83 students who graduated from a single DPT program in 2019. Data included Carnegie Classifications of prerequisite institutions, undergraduate anatomy and physiology grade point average (UGPA AP 1&2 GPA), first-term pathophysiology course grade (Patho GPA), and Doctor of Physical Therapy program grade point average (DPT GPA). Statistical analyses included Spearman rank order correlation (rs) and Kruskal-Wallis tests with effect size calculations. Power analysis indicated 80% power to detect medium-to-large effects only. Results: No statistically significant relationships were found between Carnegie Classification levels and DPT performance measures (all P \u3e 0.05, negligible effect sizes). Undergraduate AP1&2 GPA showed non-significant correlations with Patho GPA (rs = 0.058, P = 0.049) and DPT GPA (rs = 0.058, P = 0.051). Pathophysiology GPA demonstrated a strong correlation with the DPT GPA (rs = 0.641, P \u3c 0.001). Conclusions: Carnegie Classification levels of prerequisite institutions did not significantly influence DPT program performance. These preliminary findings suggest prerequisite institution choice may be guided by practical considerations without compromising academic preparation, though larger multi-institutional studies are needed to confirm these results and detect smaller effect sizes
The Fragile Food Web and the Enigmatic Doliolids
No full textCoastal and oceanic environments support large populations of soft-bodied organisms (e.g., ctenophores, cnidarians, pelagic tunicates) that are difficult to quantify and study, and thus their trophic roles are poorly resolved. Together, these historically neglected organisms and their traits comprise the fragile food web. One group of the fragile food web are doliolids, which often produce massive blooms. Dr. Frischer will describe a variety of approaches, including in situ shadowgraph imaging, molecular gut content analysis, stable isotope analysis, and omics, to understand the complex but fascinating ecology of these important marine organisms
