Revolutionizing HRM: a review of human-robot collaboration in HRM functions and the imperative of change readiness
No full textPurpose– The purpose of the paper is to conduct a review of the literature on human-robot collaboration across different functions and activities of human resource management (HRM) and discuss its importance for change readiness in organizations. Design/methodology/approach– A bibliometric analysis was conducted to identify emerging research themes in the fields of human resources (HR) and robotics, including change readiness. Based on the initial results of the bibliometric analysis, a systematic literature review was subsequently performed to gain a more specific understanding of research across various HRM functions and change readiness. Findings– The results from bibliometric analysis and systematic review highlight that technological progression in HRM, such as AI-driven staffing and training techniques, improves effectiveness and personalization but raises concerns about privacy and job scrutiny. AI and robotics in performance evaluation enhance objectivity and reduce subjectivity, which can lead to disengagement. Generational differences, cultural factors and emotional quotient complicate readiness to adopt new technologies. The research emphasizes balancing technological effectiveness with employee involvement and meaningfulness to ensure successful implementation and engagement. Originality/value– This paper synthesizes existing research, including literature, theoretical concepts and models, to identify best practices and successful strategies for implementing human-robot collaboration in HRM functions. It highlights gaps in the current literature and suggests areas for future research to advance the field of human-robot collaboration in HRM. By doing so, this paper enhances theoretical understanding while offering practical insights essential for effective change management.</p
Speech language therapy as a global practice: Culture, context, and collaboration
No full textSpeech Language Therapy as a Global Practice focuses on the necessary skills and considerations needed to be a culturally responsive clinician in a multicultural and multilingual world. The book highlights current issues of global practice and advocates for appropriate ways to engage with global communities. It positions culture, context and collaboration as integral and intertwined components of speech language therapy work. Drawing on examples of successful and ongoing collaborative global speech language therapy partnerships, chapters cover a breadth of topics including social justice, translanguaging and colourism and include a series of reflective questions. Authors grapple with ways to challenge the status quo and consider alternative ways of being, knowing and doing, including the use of technology and innovation in global practice. Overall, this collection highlights the importance of creating space for discussion as the profession of speech language therapy is now practiced in more countries than ever before. This much needed book will be essential reading for students and practising speech language therapists, particularly those interested in cultural competence, meaningful reflection and ethical practice. It will also be of interest to allied health professionals working with individuals experiencing communication disability.</p
Conquering the air: The surprising story of aviation at Australia’s Bondi Beach
No full textThis article probes a previously under-examined facet of the past of Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, to demonstrate the rich intersections of popular culture and historical inquiry. This investigation probes how people have engaged with aviation-related activities at Bondi Beach. It views these engagements from the viewpoint of participation in popular culture, while using representations of these engagements in popular culture as historical source materials. Taking the broadest view of aviation ranging from balloons and kites to aeroplanes, helicopters and wind-driven sports vehicles, the article offers an addition to existing historical narrative about Bondi Beach. It also begins to probe the points of connection between the disciplines of popular culture and history.</p
When it is relevant, I feel grateful: Relevant organizational support drives employee customer orientation
No full textPurpose: Providing organizational support to employees is often recommended as an effective strategy for achieving positive employee outcomes, such as enhanced customer orientation and increased job satisfaction. However, support alone does not ensure success. This research investigates whether and how the personal relevance of organizational support affects its effectiveness in fostering customer orientation among front-line service employees. Design/methodology/approach: Two studies (a survey and an experiment) were conducted with front-line service employees to test the moderation and moderated mediation hypotheses. Findings: Our results indicate that the personal relevance of organizational support moderates its impact on employees’ customer orientation. Specifically, organizational support enhances employee customer orientation only when employees perceive the support as relevant rather than irrelevant to them. Additionally, we demonstrate that employee gratitude mediates this relationship. Practical implications: Our findings suggest that managers should assess employee needs and interests before implementing organizational support initiatives. The support provided should be tailored to the individual. Originality/value: This study responds to longstanding calls (Eisenberger et al., 2020; Farrell and Oczkowski, 2009) to explore the conditions under which organizational support programs fail to enhance employees’ customer orientation. Our findings offer a more nuanced understanding of the effects of organizational support by highlighting the moderating role of support relevance and illustrating how it influences employee customer orientation in the service sector.</p
Evaluating the Religious Experience of Pilgrims at Kartarpur Corridor: A Qualitative Analysis
No full textThis exploratory study analyses experiences of pilgrims from India and all over the world to Kartarpur Peace Corridor for religious tourism. The historic Kartarpur Corridor, the holiest place for the Sikh religion, in Pakistan, was opened for Sikh pilgrimage in November 2019, after 72 years since partition. The qualitative research method of cultural ethnography and netnographic research, was applied to collect secondary data by watching 78 YouTube interviews from November-2019 to March-2020, at the Kartarpur complex by private bloggers. Interview comments by pilgrims relevant to this exploratory research were selected, analysing experiences of pilgrims and spiritual tourists traveling from India and overseas to Kartarpur Gurdwara for a religious pilgrimage from November- 2019 until the border corridor closure due to Covid-19 in March-2020. A total of 78 YouTube privately uploaded vlogs lasting from 15 to 25 minutes were watched and 29 YouTube vlogs were selected as being relevant to this research, with appropriate comments from participants answering the designed research questions. Total of 81 participants were recognised as their interviews and comments were recorded, translated, and transcribed. Findings indicate four segments of religious tourists visiting Kartarpur Corridor based on their motivations and experiences. Interrelated themes with policy implications were generated that could be used by tourism organisers and government planners. A future study is planned which will involve a visit to Kartarpur to collect qualitative and quantitative data directly from religious tourists to compare with findings of this study.</p

'I couldn't imagine doing it any other way' - The use of flipped classroom design for occupational therapy and speech pathology students in a regional Australian university
No full textObjective: To explore the use of flipped classroom (FC) design for occupational therapy and
speech pathology students studying in regional Australia
Setting: Occupational therapy and speech pathology students in a regional Australian
university in [Redacted for peer review].
Participants: 33 occupational therapy and speech pathology students provided survey data; 5
students supplied in-depth data from focus groups; three educators completed teaching
reflections.
Design: A multiple case study methodology was implemented based on Yin’s definition1.
Case study one involved occupational therapy students and case study two, speech pathology
students. A sequential exploratory mixed methods design was embedded within each case
study. After participation in a unit using FC design, students completed a quantitative survey
followed by a focus group for each case. Document analysis of teacher reflections and unit
evaluations were also completed.
Results: Quantitative results show that student confidence, knowledge and satisfaction is
strongly supported by the FC approach. Rich qualitative data from the cases yielded four
themes: individual attributes of the educator; purposeful and flexible design features; the role
of the student as an active learner; facilities and resources for flipped classrooms.
Conclusion: This case study data supports the benefits of FC design for health professions
students, has enabled the development of a conceptual framework which could be applied to
health professions and beyond to other disciplines, and has also provided the foundations for
guidelines to support educators to implement FC methodology.</p
Young people’s perspectives on giving and receiving love from their parents: A qualitative exploration during the transition into emerging adulthood
No full textThis study explored the relationships between young people and their parents during the important transition from late adolescence into emerging adulthood. The study involved a qualitative examination of young people’s viewpoints on parental actions indicative of love and acceptance, alongside the actions they themselves undertake to express love toward their parents. The study involved Australian young people (n = 188) aged 17–19 years recruited from a major metropolitan university. Using an exploratory qualitative research approach, we employed thematic framework analysis to identify commonalities and distinctions in young people’s perceptions of parental love and acceptance, and their expressions of love towards parents. An integrated model was developed through collaborative mind mapping. Core themes included connectedness, involvement, support, acceptance, autonomy, and mutuality. Although there were shared behaviors between parents and youth in expressing love, unique sub-themes emerged for each domain. The findings highlighted the increasing reciprocity in parent-child relationships and added to understanding of the dynamics in this relationship during the transition to emerging adulthood. Such work that identifies specific behaviors used by family members to support and maintain positive relationships can inform advice given to families about how to improve family relationships and best support young people to move successfully into adulthood.</p
