The alarming rates have raised concerns on whether the change management practices adopted by university management in institutions of higher education learning…
Using WhatsApp for co-creation of learning resources
Although culturally diverse students have potential to create enriched learning resources, it is difficult to harness students' agency and to aggregate individual contributions into a meaningful learning resource. This is one of the challenges facing higher education institutions in South Africa where institutions are increasingly cosmopolitan and culturally diverse, but production of knowledge has largely remained skewed in favour of those stude…
Employees' perceptions of diversity management practices as predictors of psychological capital
Human resource practitioners have recently been interested, especially within large corporations, in diversity management and psychological capital (commonly known as positive psychology) – making the insights from such studies inadequate and difficult to apply in other contexts such as the small business sector. With no known empirical research on these two areas of interest within small businesses, the purpose of this study was to determine the…

Children community radio programmes are among the very few programmes in Southern Africa that seek to raise HIV/AIDS knowledge and awareness on children. These programmes are designed to enable children to learn useful life skills as well as contribute to broader public awareness on issues facing Southern African children in the context of poverty and the HIV epidemic. The idea of ‘child-participation’ forms the core of children radio programmes.…

Radio broadcasting in the era of HIV/Aids
In this study, we assessed the relevance and effectiveness of radio broadcasting as a strategy that facilitates the adoption and use of safer sexual practices among students at a South African university. Based on ethnographic data, the article highlights that the essential and critical contribution of campus radio lies in its ability to create a social space for HIV/AIDS communication. The overall aim of this study was to assess the relationship…

Previous research on factors that influence divided attention have focused on resource allocation, age of participants, task difficulty and familiarity, practice effects as well as brain areas that control dual task performance. The present study examined the effects of task difficulty and stimulus similarity on dual-task performance. One hundred and twenty participants, divided into four equal groups were asked to read a typewritten passage and …
