Managing Change
Managing Change: Enquiry and Action, Australasian edition offers a fresh perspective of change theory with contemporary examples providing students with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of change within organisations. The book features notions of innovation, disruption and agile learning that are necessary in an intensified business world. Using an enquiry-action framework, the text is separated into three parts: diagnosing, expla…
Potential challenges facing distributed leadership in health care
The discourse of leaderism in health care has been a subject of much academic and practical debate. Recently, distributed leadership (DL) has been adopted as a key strand of policy in the UK National Health Service (NHS). However, there is some confusion over the meaning of DL and uncertainty over its application to clinical and non-clinical staff. This article examines the potential for DL in the NHS by drawing on qualitative data from three co-…

Reflexivity
Purpose The paper seeks to support a better understanding of the types (or processes) of reflexivity which may be involved in the practice of organizational research, and the implications of reflexive practice for organizational researchers. Design/methodology/approach A characterization of reflexivity as a process is developed from extant research, in four steps. First, the principal dimensions of reflexivity – reflection and recursion – are ide…
‘But I Thought We Were Friends?’ Life Cycles and Research Relationships
This chapter is concerned with a relatively under-explored aspect of ‘engaged research’ – the nature of friendship relations between researchers and practitioners, and the ethical dilemmas that arise in such relationships. Attention has been paid to the relational aspects of research in the methodology literature, but this chapter focuses more closely on friendship in particular. The chapter is framed around two guiding concerns: how do friendshi…
A Rasch Differential Item Functioning Analysis of the Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument
The juvenile justice system needs a tool that can identify and assess mental health problems among youths quickly with validity and reliability. The goal of this article is to evaluate the racial/ethnic and gender differential item functioning (DIF) of the Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument-Second Version (MAYSI-2) using the Rasch Model. Data are presented from 3,906 assessments of male and female juvenile offenders between 13 and 17 years …
Paradox as invitation to act in problematic change situations
It has been argued that organizational life typically contains paradoxical situations such as efforts to manage change which nonetheless seem to reinforce inertia. Four logical options for coping with paradox have been explicated, three of which seek resolution and one of which ‘keeps the paradox open’. The purpose of this article is to explore the potential for managerial action where the paradox is held open through the use of theory on ‘seriou…
What’s There and What’s Not
Objective: A review of current empirical research on adolescent stress reveals that measures of stress were developed using primarily suburban adolescents. However, there has not been a thorough examination of stressors that specifically affect urban minority adolescents. This article discusses the findings from the Urban Hassles Scale (UHS). Method: A nonrandom sample of 131 African American adolescents was surveyed to assess the stressors withi…
The Validity of a Self-reported Delinquency Scale
Self-reported delinquency scales have been widely adopted by researchers seeking to measure delinquency. Establishing the validity of these scales is critical because if valid measures are not created, findings about the correlates of delinquency will be of limited use in testing theory and formulating public policy. In this article, the authors use data from the first wave of the National Youth Survey to examine the measurement properties of a c…
Applying Rasch modeling to the validity of a control balance scale
Does Self‐control Affect Survey Response? Applying Exploratory, Confirmatory, and Item Response Theory Analysis to Grasmick Et Al.'s Self‐control Scale
Gottfredson and Hirschi's (1990) A General Theory of Crime has sparked a great deal of theoretical debate and empirical investigation. Tests of the theory have focused on measuring the core element, the latent trait of self‐control. The majority of this research has used the 24‐item scale developed by Grasmick et al. (1993), and a great deal of attention has been directed at the validity of this scale. Empirical debate revolves around the unidime…
Promoting resilience in urban African American adolescents
Research into resilience has increased significantly over the past several decades. This increase notwithstanding, the need to study further the protective factors that facilitate resilience, especially those factors in vulnerable populations, is important. This article discusses the findings of a study on resilience and protective factors among 131 urban African American adolescents. Educational involvement—an indicator of resilience—was hypothe…
A Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Affect Balance Scale in 38 Nations
The Affect Balance Scale (ABS) is a widely used measure of social psychological well-being. This study applies confirmatory factor analysis to assess the validity of the positive and negative subscales for use in cross-national research. Results show that the data collected in the World Values Survey do not fit the model developed by Bradburn (1969) in any of the 38 countries surveyed. As many as four factors are required to fit these data. Criti…
Global Attitude Measurement
The World Values Survey is the product of an unprecedented collaboration of investigators from five continents. Using this survey, an international postmaterialism scale was developed. This scale shows a worldwide trend away from concerns with material well-being toward a postmaterialist value system that emphasizes the free expression of ideas, greater democratization, and the development of more humane societies. The author tests the assumption…
