The role of a leader in managing mutigenerational virtual teams
No full textThe today's workplace rapidly evolves, with the increasing role of virtual teams which reshape traditional team settings. At the same time, labor market becomes more generationally diverse, with Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y (Millennials), and Generation Z working side by side, each bringing unique perspectives, expectations, and work styles. In this dynamically changing environment, effective leadership is more critical than ever. The purpose of the article is to present the results of a survey conducted in April 2024 on the expectations of employees from different generations regarding the expected and the current level of competences of virtual team leaders. On the basis of the research, it was found that each generation have different expectations in terms of competences of a virtual team leader. Findings also show that there is a discrepancy between expectations and the current level of competences of virtual team leader
Virtual teams in the context of generational differences: a systematic literature review
No full textW artykule dokonano syntezy wyników systematycznego przeglądu literatury z zakresu wpływu pokoleń na pracę oraz dzielących je różnic w kontekście zespołów wirtualnych. Artykuł składa się z czterech części. W pierwszej z nich dokonano przeglądu literatury. Następnie zaprezentowano procedurę badawczą (tj. cel, metodę i zakres badania), w części trzeciej przedstawiono natomiast rezultaty przeprowadzonych badań. Analizie poddano 33 artykuły polsko- i anglojęzyczne opublikowane w latach 2013–2023, wyłonione z baz Scopus, Ebsco i Web of Science. Wybrane artykuły na podstawie analizy merytorycznej podzielono na pięć obszarów: (1) wyzwania, (2) doświadczenia, perspektywy i preferencje, (3) dzielenie się wiedzą, (4) równowaga między życiem zawodowym a prywatnym oraz (5) motywacja i przywództwo. W podsumowaniu artykułu przedstawiono wnioski z przeprowadzonego badania wraz z towarzyszącymi mu ograniczeniami oraz wskazano główne nurty badawcze, które mogą stanowić przyczynek do podjęcia dalszych badań w tym obszarze.The article synthesizes the outcomes of a systematic literature review on the influence of generations on work in virtual teams and differences between generations in the context of virtual teams. The article consists of four parts. The first one contains a review of the literature. The second part presents the research procedure (purpose, method, and scope of the study), while in the third part the results of the research are discussed. The analysis involved 33 Polish and English-language articles published in 2013–2023 and selected from the Scopus, Ebsco, and Web of Science databases. The analyzed papers were divided into 6 areas based on content analysis: (1) challenges, (2) experiences, perspectives, and preferences, (3) knowledge sharing, (4) work-life balance, and (5) motivation and leadership. The article ends with the conclusions and limitations, including implications for future research
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
