The effect of e-mail use and adoption on organizational participation: the case of a public administration
No full textImproving organisational participation is becoming more and more important as organisations are trying to shift from
a bureaucratic model based on work specialisation and division of labour towards knowledge-intensive organisations built on
competence sharing and team working. The aim of this paper is to investigate participation in decision making mediated by
e-mail (e-PDM) among organisational members that are in similar hierarchical positions. The conceptual background of the
study integrates the organisational theories on PDM and the computer-mediated communication (CMC) literature. Data analysis,
based on an empirical research conducted in an Italian governmental agency, investigates the factors that affect the adoption of
horizontal e-PDM in the workplace and to what extent this is mediated by the interplay between technology and social context.
Our results suggest that social structuration of technology and social processes in organisations do have an impact on e-mail
use for participative purposes, and that, along with group characteristics, leadership plays a major role in enabling work group
members to increase horizontal e-PDM.Improving organisational participation is becoming more and more important as organisations are trying to shift from a bureaucratic model based on work specialisation and division of labour towards knowledge-intensive organisations built on competence sharing and team working.

Le sfide della gestione della conoscenza del personale a fine carriera in sanità - Challenges in the Knowledge Management of Expert Employees Nearing Retirement
No full textI noti trend demografici prospettano nei prossimi anni uno “tsunami” di pensionamenti del
personale del settore sanitario e socio-sanitario. La fuoriuscita della generazione dei Baby boomer dal mondo
del lavoro comporta almeno tre sfide nella gestione della conoscenza: la sfida della conservazione della
conoscenza ovvero la necessità di non disperdere le esperienze accumulate; la sfida del rinnovo della conoscenza,
cioè la necessità di aggiornare continuamente le conoscenze anche a fine carriera; la sfida del
trasferimento della conoscenza, ovvero la necessità di rendere più fluidi ed efficaci il passaggio e la condivisione
di conoscenze fra colleghi di generazioni diverse. Analizzando la letteratura sulle implicazioni
dell‟invecchiamento sulla performance e sui comportamenti lavorativi, sulla gestione delle conoscenze e
sulla gestione delle risorse umane, l‟articolo identifica alcune raccomandazioni ed esperienze di successo
per rispondere a queste tre importanti sfide

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
