A tension lens for understanding entrepreneurship-related activities in the university
Work-life boundary management of peer support workers when engaging in virtual mental health support during the Covid-19 pandemic: A qualitative case study
The findings from this study can help inform management, practices, future research and policy on health care workforce. The study highlights the need to attend to the consequences of greater work-life integration for mental health workers since their successful practice is largely dependent on maintaining self-care. Training regarding work-life boundary management is highlighted as one of the ways to approach situations where work from home is r…
A tension lens for understanding public innovation diffusion processes
How do public servants diffuse public innovations in a bureaucratic and political environment that is fraught with tensions? Through a longitudinal case study, this research explores how tension management evolves with regard to two tensions observed in the diffusion process: control versus resistance and competing interests among stakeholders. Drawing upon three theoretical perspectives (contingency, paradox, and dialectic), the study shows that…
The Land Nurtures Our Spirit”: Understanding the Role of the Land in Labrador Innu Wellbeing
We examined Indigenous views of wellbeing, aiming to understand how the Labrador Innu view influence of land on their health. The Innu live in two First Nation communities (Sheshatshiu and Natuashish) in the subarctic portion of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Their views on land and wellbeing are context specific and have not been studied; our research addresses this significant gap in literature. Findings highlight that the e…
A process of healing for the Labrador Innu: Improving health and wellbeing in the context of historical and contemporary colonialism
In light of the negative effects of historical and contemporary colonialism on the Labrador Innu, healing initiatives grounded in self-determination, renewal of cultural practices, and non-reliance on Western bio-medicine, are known, taught and widely practiced among the Innu. The value of Indigenous healing practices in the treatment of Indigenous people is well-recognized in Indigenous wellness literature, yet non-Indigenous health practitioner…
Developing an Innu framework for health research: The canoe trip as a metaphor for a collaborative approach centered on valuing Indigenous knowledges
Indigenous communities increasingly assert their right to self-determination by requiring that participatory research approaches be used, valuing and prioritizing Indigenous knowledges, for the purpose of improving Indigenous health. While frameworks that focus on Indigenous knowledges are being developed, these must be adapted or developed by Indigenous communities because their knowledge is specific to place and inherent to their lived experien…
Residents’ perceptions of radon health risks: A qualitative study
Risk perceptions are subjective, and are influenced by micro and macro level factors. Inducing protective action to reduce risk requires comprehensive interventions taking into account the dual cognitive and emotional aspects of risk perception. Future research may explore the dual aspects of risk perception and examine the contents of the risk communication message. Policy should address the responsibility of both governments and residents in ta…
The (non)distribution of leadership roles: Considering leadership practices and configurations
This article draws on distributed leadership and leadership-as-practice perspectives to report on a comparative case analysis of leadership configurations. The context of acquisitions is used in the study. Attention is given to the practices of members of the two leadership teams – one from each of the acquiring and acquired organizations – as they attempted to integrate their practices and redistribute leadership roles. The findings show that, d…
Peer Support Providers’ Role Experiences on Interprofessional Mental Health Care Teams: A Qualitative Study
Leadership as boundary work in healthcare teams
This paper proposes that boundary work is inherent to leadership practices in healthcare settings, and explores this phenomenon in interprofessional healthcare teams. Specifically, the study focuses on leading through and across boundaries in four interprofessional healthcare teams operating in the area of mental health services. We give special consideration to the specific contexts of these teams, and address the boundaries that are constructed…
Interlevel Influences on the Reconstruction of Professional Role Identity
Research on roles and identities generally represents a micro perspective that does not account for the reconstruction of professional role identity, owing to insufficient attention to institutional forces. We trace institutional influences on professional role identity reconstruction and extend theory by building bridges across institutional, organizational, and individual levels of analysis. Findings indicate that agentic reconstruction of prof…
Influencing Organizational Identification During Major Change: A Communication- Based Perspective
This article argues that the concept of organizational identification can provide new and valuable insights into the dynamics of organizational change and its management. It introduces the notion of shift in identification, which consists of dis- and re-identification states that organizational members experience during change, and proposes a framework for the study of the communication-based influence strategies used by management to induce such…
