Get PDFThe Evolving Demands and Resources of Live Entertainment: The Development of a Job Demands Resources Sport (JDRS) Model
Get PDFUtilizing the job demands resource (JDR) model, as a basis to learn and better understand the workplace experience of employees in live entertainment, we developed a model specific to sport. Through a three-stage process, the scale was measured and validated with collegiate sport employees. The first stage included subject matter experts (n = 69) openly listing job demands and resources in their workplace, then the second stage included two samples of employed graduate students (sample one: n = 101; sample two: n = 112), and finally phase three included two samples of collegiate sport employees (sample one: n = 249; sample two: n = 239). Based on the results, a job demands resources sport (JDRS) model was developed with nine of the 10 job demands relating to burnout, and all seven job resources relating to both work engagement and burnout. Theoretically and practically, the JDRS model will help sport employees and organizations identify opportunities to reduce burnout and increase engagement so they may better serve stakeholders

Get PDFThe Municipal Farm: From Contamination to Conservation: A Plan for the Future
Get PDFThe Municipal Farm is a 441-acre site owned by the City of Kansas City, Missouri, located in the heart of the Eastwood Hills neighborhood. Surrounded by important neighborhoods and regional assets, the former municipal jail and working farm property site holds great potential for the community. It is both a historic and environmental asset in Kansas City.
Over the years, a range of factors—including accumulated city and industrial uses, and the presence or potential presence of hazardous substances in some areas, known as brownfield sites—have contributed to the site being underutilized. Today, Municipal Farm features a rich mix of natural elements such as waterways, wetlands, wooded areas, striking terrain, and pockets of development.
The Municipal Farm site in Kansas City represents a unique opportunity to revitalize a historically significant and environmentally rich area by addressing past contamination concerns and transforming it into a sustainable, community-driven asset that blends ecological restoration, urban development, and public engagement

Gorton’s work offers a meticulously researched and accessible account of Fakhr ad-Din’s political career, exile in Tuscany, and enduring legacy, situating him within broader narratives of cross-cultural diplomacy, religious identity, and Mediterranean courtly culture. The review highlights the book’s strengths in contextualizing Druze history and its nuanced portrayal of Fakhr ad-Din’s strategic engagement with both Ottoman and European powers. It also reflects on the interpretive challenges posed by applying Western historiographical categories such as “Renaissance” to non-European figures.

“We just want to tell the story”: A mixed methods exploration of partners’ motivations to join and stay engaged in community- research partnerships
Get PDFCommunity engagement and partnerships are at the core of public health. To address long-standing disparities, there is an urgent need to partner with community members and community-based organizations to co-create health interventions and programs. Community-academic partnerships (CAPs)—one model for community partnerships—can increase the capacity and implementation of evidence-based and culturally responsive public health practices. While effective, there is a need to address gaps in understanding perceived motivations and gains among and between partners, particularly in the context of engaging marginalized communities. This mixed methods project explored motivations to join and continue to engage in a CAP designed to advance health equity in Flint, Michigan. Using a survey and qualitative interview, twenty-five community and academic partner representatives were invited to participate.
Motivating factors were categorized as individual, interpersonal, organizational, and community level contexts. Overall, findings demonstrate how motivational factors are interactive and multi-dimensional with varied contexts, emphasizing intrinsic drives in individual contexts, social support and external organizational resources through interpersonal and organizational contexts, and demonstration of concrete outcomes in community contexts. Findings from the study can be used to improve design of community partnerships that seek to advance health equity by attending to key factors that drive motivations to engage with marginalized communities
