AUTHORSHIP AS MANAGING/OWNING DIFFERENCES: A RELATIONAL, CULTURAL AND PRACTICAL PERSPECTIVE ON FACILITATORS OF CHANGE IN HEALTHCARE ORGANISATIONS
No full textLa tesi è il risultato di un lavoro di ricerca volto ad esplorare come i professionisti in ruoli di facilitazione del cambiamento in contesti sanitari e sociosanitari esercitino l'autorialità organizzativa. L'autorialità organizzativa, intesa come influenza del professionista sulla propria realtà organizzativa e sul ruolo ricoperto, comporta processi relazionali, culturali e pratici ed è strettamente connessa alla gestione delle tensioni e delle differenze. In contesti fortemente impattati dal cambiamento, i ruoli di facilitazione sono fondamentali per tradurre piani, regolamenti e linee guida in pratiche e azioni che possano essere non solo implementate ma anche interpretate culturalmente e localmente, tenendo in considerazione bisogni, risorse e limiti contestuali. La ricerca ha utilizzato approcci etnografici e narrativi per studiare come i facilitatori del cambiamento all'interno di due organizzazioni sanitarie affrontano le differenze, l'impatto che i facilitatori hanno sui processi di autorialità organizzativa in situazioni di cambiamento organizzativo e quali risorse pratiche, culturali e relazionali vengono utilizzate per promuovere processi critici e riflessivi per un approccio alle differenze più sostenibile e rispettoso. Questo contributo fornisce informazioni su come sostenere più consapevolmente i processi di cambiamento e la comune negoziazione di significati e autorialità organizzativa all'interno delle strutture sanitarie e socio-sanitarie.The thesis is the result of a research work aiming to explore how professionals in roles of facilitation of change in healthcare and social health contexts exercise organisational authorship. Organizational authorship, defined as one’s influence upon organisational reality and role occupied entailing relational, cultural and practical processes, is closely connected to managing tensions and differences; in contexts highly impacted by change, roles of facilitation are fundamental for translating plans, regulations and guidelines into practices and actions that can be not only implemented but also culturally and locally interpreted, considering contextual needs, resources and limitations. The research employed ethnographic and narrative approaches to study how facilitators of change inside two healthcare organisations tackle differences, the impact the facilitators have on authorship processes around organizational change, and what practical, cultural and relational resources are used to foster critical and reflexive processes for a more sustainable and respectful approach to differences. This contribution provides insight into how to support change processes more consciously and the communal negotiation of meaning-making and authorship inside healthcare and social health settings
Gorli, M., Piria, M. (2021) "Narro dunque sono. La narrazione come costituzione di conoscenza e intervento organizzativo su più livelli"
No full textIl capitolo traccia l'apporto dell'approccio narrativo negli studi organizzativi, illustrandone la valenza riflessiva, trasformativa e generativa di cambiamenti per l'individuo, il lavoro e l'organizzazione. L'applicazione dell'approccio narrativo nelle sue valenze riflessive e pratiche viene calata in un contesto sanitario di un ospedale, e in particolare nella professione di coordinatore delle professioni sanitarie. Il capitolo affronta la posizione di middle management e le funzioni di leadership in contesti sfidati da emergenze e urgenze continue, dove aprire spazi di narrazione consente l'accesso a dimensioni più profonde di conoscenza e di apprendimento
Embracing differences in organizations: ‘differences work’ as a new theoretical perspective
No full textThe paper presents an expansion of the perspective on 'differences' by proposing a novel theoretical concept: 'differences work'. Differences work is the subjective and intersubjective effort that is put in place to approach differences from a dynamic stance, to encompass the different processes - identity, relational, and cultural - intertwined in experiencing ourselves and the relationship with differences. The concept is illustrated in its cognitive and emotional components. The paper contributes to developing new sensitivities to the in-situ work on differences, advising to investigate empirically how differences work deploys. The paper suggests methodologies for digging into dialogues and conversations, for entering the self-constructions and others' counter-constructions of differences, and for observing their dynamic and fluid evolution as it happens. The new concept enriches the possibility of going beyond category-oriented policies and orientations in organizations, which are generally aimed at proposing activities not always sufficient to represent all the differences circulating in organizations

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
