Good organizational soldiers: conflict‐related stress predicts citizenship behavior
PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine employee behavior in times of conflict. The author seeks to examine the relationship between employee conflict‐related stress and engagement in organizational citizenship behavior and to explore cohesiveness as a potential cross‐level moderator of this relationship.Design/methodology/approachSurvey data were collected as part of a larger study examining organizational citizenship in the Middle East. During data collection armed conflict broke out in Lebanon. A total of 553 employees working in 62 workgroups participated. Hierarchical liner modeling was used to test the hypotheses.FindingsContrary to previous research, employees engaged in more OCB when they experienced greater amounts of stress. This relationship is more pronounced in cohesive groups than in non‐cohesive groupsResearch limitations/implicationsThe results extend the understanding of the stress‐OCB relationship within the context of conflict. Furthermore, these findings bring to light the tremendous importance of paying attention to context and the nested‐nature of human behavior.Practical implicationsThis study highlights that even under armed conflict; employees continue to work and are willing to put in extra effort at work to help coworkers and the organization in general.Social implicationsThe results suggest that extraordinary times call for extraordinary efforts and that employees often meet this challenge through their engagement in behaviors that will contribute positively to the social‐psychological environment of the workplace.Originality/valueThe paper provides a unique examination of employee behavior in times of conflict. It is a rare instance of fieldwork in conflict zones and it adds to the paucity of research within the Middle East.</jats:sec
Localizing women's experiences in academia: multilevel factors at play in the Arab Middle East and North Africa
This article explores the localized experiences of women at work in higher education in the under-researched context of the Arab Middle East and North Africa. Our main research questions are: What is the current status of academic women between and across the countries of this region? How can human resources play a developmental role for women at work in academic institutions, as well as for the region in general? We adopt a two-part research method in this study. First, through a critical review of the literature, we develop a regionally relevant macrolevel hypothetical model to localize a gender perspective on women at work. Second, we engage in a focused empirical examination of publicly available university data to document the: (1) representation of women across ranks; and (2) specific content of pertinent human resource policies. On the basis of these data, we propose a more complete multilevel hypothetical model upon which we put forward a critical discussion and directions for future research on gender, human resource management and regional development more broadly. © 2014 Taylor and Francis.Abdalla I.

Gendering CSR in the Arab Middle East: An institutional perspective
This paper explores how corporations, through their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities, can help to effect positive developmental change. We use research on institutional change, deinstitutionalization, and institutional work to develop our central theoretical framework. This framework allows us to suggest more explicitly how CSR can potentially be mobilized as a purposive form of institutional work aimed at disrupting existing institutions in favor of positive change. We take the gender institution in the Arab Middle East as a case in point. Our suggestion is that the current context of the Arab Spring, which combined with increasingly obvious endogenous institutional contradictions, has created a fertile ground for shaping change processes within the gender institution. Finally, we provide concrete examples of CSR initiatives that regional corporate actors can engage in for positive developmental change supporting women. ©2013 Business Ethics Quarterly.Abu Sahleya S., 2000, THE NEED TO UNIFY PE; Abu-Lughod L., 2005, ON SHIFTING GROUND M, P17; Adler NJ, 2008, HANDBOOK OF RESEARCH ON GLOBAL CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP, P374; Adler PS, 2007, ACAD MANAG ANN, V1, P119, DOI 10.1080-078559808; Ahmad Syed Zamberi, 2011, International Journal of Gender and Entrepreneurship, V3, DOI 10.1108-17566261111140206; Ahmed D., 2009, WOMENS RIGHTS IN THE; Al Tamimi J., 2012, GREEN LIGHT TO SAUDI; Alinsky S., 1971, RULES FOR RADICALS; Alturki N., 2010, REPORT PREPARED BY T; [Anonymous], 2011, DAILY STAR; Arab Human Development Reports United Nations Development Programme, 2009, ARAB HUMAN DEVELOPME; Armbruster Ralph, 1995, CRITICAL SOCIOLOGY, V21, P75; Aubert J., 2003, KNOWLEDGE ECONOMIES; Barkemeyer R, 2009, BUS ETHICS, V18, P273; Barnett J., 2007, ACAD MANAGE REV, V32, P946, DOI DOI 10.5465-AMR.2007.25275684; Battilana J, 2009, ACAD MANAG ANN, V3, P65, DOI 10.1080-19416520903053598; Benantar A., 2011, NEW GLOBAL STUDIES, V5, P1; BENSON JK, 1977, ADMIN SCI QUART, V22, P1, DOI 10.2307-2391741; Bies RJ, 2007, ACAD MANAGE REV, V32, P788; Bjorkman I, 2001, ORGAN STUD, V22, P491, DOI 10.1177-0170840601223005; Boswell T, 1997, WORK OCCUPATION, V24, P288, DOI 10.1177-0730888497024003003; Coleman G., 2002, J CORPORATE CITIZENS, V1, P17; Dacin MT, 2002, ACAD MANAGE J, V45, P45; de Soto H., 2011, FINANCIAL TIMES; DiMaggio P., 1988, I PATTERNS ORG CULTU, P3; DONALDSON T, 1995, ACAD MANAGE REV, V20, P65, DOI 10.2307-258887; Doumato E.

The HR value proposition model in the Arab Middle East: Identifying the contours of an Arab Middle Eastern HR model
The aim of this paper is to investigate the existence or absence of an Arab Middle Eastern (AME) human resource (HR) model. The paper adopts the HR value proposition model (VPM) introduced by Ulrich and Brockbank (2005, The HR Value Proposition, Boston, MA: Harvard Business School Press) as a conceptual framework and examines the role of HR along the model's five dimensions: (1) knowledge of external business realities, (2) serving the needs of internal and external stakeholders, (3) crafting HR practices, (4) building HRs and (5) ensuring HR professionalism. A total of 59 articles tackling human resource management practices in the AME are identified and critically analyzed along the model's dimensions. A descriptive survey method is used, whereby a multi-question protocol is administered to senior human resource managers of banks across 13 countries in the region. The descriptive results from the 85 surveyed HR managers suggest that current HR practices in the AME fall along the dimensions of the VPM. Results also show a shared perception concerning the most and least common HR practices in the region and imply that we can start identifying the contours of an 'AME HR model'. © 2013 © 2013 Taylor and Francis.Abdulla J, 2011, PERS REV, V40, P126, DOI 10.1108-00483481111095555; Abed G.

Walking a tightrope or navigating a web: Parameters of balance within perceived institutional realities
This paper leverages Structuration Theory within the greater framework of Institutional Theory to broaden the balance discourse cross-culturally. We argue that the application of the balance concept can be expanded if one allows a move beyond the structure-argument for a bi-polar, equal weighting conceptualization of work versus family, and beyond a process argument focusing on psycho-behavioral components. Instead balance can acknowledge the differences between structure and agency and the interaction between them (i.e., agentic process). Agentic process suggests that women actively seek to address as well as modify a multitude of institutionally mandated and idiosyncratic structures (i.e., roles and responsibilities) through day-to-day behaviors. Ultimately, balance is a matter of the ease of navigation between and across these different types of structure. With a set of qualitative data drawn from three societies within the Arab Middle East, we find preliminary support for an enriched conceptualization of balance readily applicable cross-culturally. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.Abdalla I.

Three-component velocity measurements in a momentum-conserving, axisymmetric, turbulent jet
Experiments have been performed on a momentum conserving axisymmetric turbulent jet, the turbulence characteristics of which are well known [1]. Simultaneous three-component velocity measurements are acquired with high spatial and temporal resolution, using a new triple-sensor hotwire probe. Velocity and directional calibrations are performed using a dedicated automatic calibration system. Two experiments are performed; one for capturing the average velocity field in a 3D volume, and one for investigating the turbulence spectra in specific points in space. In the first experiment, measurements are performed in 9 equidistant cross-planes, from 10- to 50-diameters downstream of the nozzle using a computer-controlled traversing system. The spatial resolution is as low as 1 mm and the sampling rate was 10 kHz. In the second experiment, long velocity time histories are acquired with 50 kHz sampling rate to perform power spectral density computations for each velocity component. Preliminary results of velocity capture confirm the general characteristics of the turbulent jet. The power spectra at different positions indicate that the turbulent fluctuations are not isotropic at lower frequencies
A General History of the Congregation of the Mission Beginning after the Death of Blessed Vincent de Paul
This work is the earliest known history of the Congregation of the Mission and dates from about 1730. Vincentian historian John E. Rybolt, C.M., building on the initiative of Stafford Poole, C.M., completed this English translation from the original French. The author, Claude-Joseph Lacour, C.M. (1672-1731), drew from already published materials and his own recollections. While the story he tells may seem familiar, Lacour included materials that are unknown anywhere else and delivers a first-hand account of the Congregation’s rapid growth in those early days. The text is essential reading for anyone wishing to better understand Vincent de Paul’s society of apostolic life of priests and brothers following his death.https://via.library.depaul.edu/vincentian_ebooks/1044/thumbnail.jp

Turbulent separation in lower curved wall channels
Turbulent boundary layer separation in channels with a lower curved wall is studied using direct numerical simulations (DNS). Turbulence dynamics are studied through classical statistical tools such as the turbulent kinetic energy budget for varying lower curved wall dimensions. The geometry features are expected to have a significant effect on the fluid flow structures and the characteristic scales of separation. The separation bubble behind the bump is studied in terms of its size, turbulent kinetic energy production mechanisms and transfer and scale-by-scale energy budget. New innovative data-analysis techniques will be used based on the generalisation of the Kolmogorov equation to anisotropic and spatially non-homogeneous flow configurations
