Women’s Careers in Management : Confronted Problems and Approved Practices
No full textGender equality has not been achieved anywhere in the world. One persistent, global challenge is that women struggle to advance to management positions in the workplace. This chapter focuses on the area of management as it relates to women’s careers. Well-known metaphors that highlight the complexity of the problems women face in their careers are presented. Additionally, two examples of practices that can be helpful to the advancement of women’s careers, namely, all-women management development programmes and work-family arrangements are discussed. It is concluded that although there has been progress around women’s moving in managerial roles in many places over the years, much still needs to be done now and in the future to overcome the barriers women face in achieving their career goals.peerReviewe
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Leadership Potential: The potential analysis tools Insights MDI, Thomas VPA and KODE compared with the Bochum Inventory for Occupational Personality Description (BIP), the Achievement Motivation Inventory (LMI) and the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO FFI)

Die vorliegende Arbeit umfasst eine Teilanalyse der Ergebnisse dieser Studie, mit dem Ziel die beteiligten Verfahren miteinander zu vergleichen und in Bezug zu setzen. Vorgestellt wird, inwieweit die Ergebnisse der Potentialanalyseinstrumente Insights MDI, Thomas VPA und KODE mit den Ergebnissen aus dem Bochumer Inventar zur berufsbezogenen Persönlichkeitsbeschreibung (BIP), dem Leistungsmotivationsinventar (LMI), sowie dem NEO FFI, verglichen werden können und inwieweit Parallelen zwischen erhobenen Dimensionen bestehen. Dies ist insbesondere deshalb von Interesse, da für die Verfahren Thomas VPA, Insights MDI und KODE keine Testhandbücher im akademischen Sinne vorliegen. Diese Verfahren zeigen, im Rahmen der eingeschränkten Stichprobe der vorliegenden Studie, die 177 Führungspersonen und Personen mit unmittelbarem Führungsinteresse umfasste, teils hohe Zusammenhänge untereinander und mit dem Bochumer Inventar zur berufsbezogenen Persönlichkeitsbeschreibung (BIP), dem Leistungsmotivationsinventar (LMI) und in eingeschränktem Umfang, dem NEO FFI. Mit Hilfe kanonischer Korrelationen wurden Überschneidungen der Verfahren ermittelt und Quotienten der wechselseitigen Abdeckung errechnet, diese werden vergleichend dargestellt, sie belegen, dass das BIP und das LMI jene Verfahren mit der umfangreicheren Messintention darstellen, sie ermöglichen es eine größere Spannweite von führungsrelevanten Verhaltensdispositionen zu ermitteln.An extensive test battery was applied in course of a study concerning the analysis of leadership potential in leading Styrian companies. The thesis on hand is a partial analysis of results from this study. The aim is to analyse the involved instruments and to interrelate the results. It includes the comparison of results from the potential analysis instruments Insights MDI, Thomas VPA and KODE with those from the Bochumer Inventar zur berufsbezogenen Persönlichkeitsbeschreibung (BIP), the Leistungsmotivationsinventar (LMI), and the NEO FFI, to resolve the question if, and how these instruments can be considered comparable and if the respective dimensions are similar. This is especially interesting, as there are no test hand-books in the academic sense available for Thomas VPA, Insights MDI und KODE. The thesis on hand is a partial analysis of results from this study. The instruments Thomas VPA und Insights MDI, show, concerning the investigated sample of 177, which included leaders and persons directly interested in leadership positions, partially high correlations between each other and the Bochumer Inventar zur berufsbezogenen Persönlichkeitsbeschreibung (BIP), the Leistungsmotivationsinventar (LMI) and – in limited scope – with the NEO FFI. With the help of canonical correlations the overlapping of the instruments was investigated and quotients of interdependencies have been calculated. The results are presented in a comparison, which demonstrates that BIP and LMI are the instruments which are able to cover the larger span of traits relevant for leadership potential.vorgelegt von Rupert BeinhauerAbweichender Titel laut Übersetzung der Verfasserin/des VerfassersZsfassungen in dt. und in engl.

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
