Independent professionals working in the Australian higher education sector
One of the fastest growing groups of portfolio workers is highly skilled independent professionals (IPros). Portfolio working is one way to remain agile in response to an increasingly dynamic labour market. Despite the rise of portfolio work globally, necessitating a deeper exploration of this contemporary form of employment, very little research has been conducted in this area. This study advanced our understanding of IPro employment by explorin…
A framework for the facilitation of accelerated leadership and management capability development in the workplace
A holistic framework for the design of leadership and management programs to accelerate leadership and management capability development in the workplace is presented. Previous models and frameworks have been primarily based on program design inputs and outcomes and have not adequately considered the mediating role of learning processes and learner preferences in the relationship between program design inputs and outcomes. Additionally, most exis…
Differences on food choice, perceptions and attitudes between parents and their children
Parental perceptions on the acceptability of high fibre foods by their children
Life Skill Development and Transfer beyond Sport
The aim of this research was to investigate the current life skills education programs offered by the Australian Football League (AFL) for elite footballers in order to determine the retention of life skill knowledge and transfer beyond sport. Life skill education in sport is an increasing phenomenon. Life skills sport programs are capable of delivering positive outcomes when nurtured through a deliberately designed curriculum and purposeful teac…
Patient and Public Involvement in the Coproduction of Knowledge
Patient and public involvement in health research is increasingly well established internationally, but the impacts of involvement on the research process are hard to evaluate. We describe a process of qualitative data analysis in a mental health research project with a high level of mental health service user and carer involvement, and reflect critically on how we produced our findings. Team members not from research backgrounds sometimes challe…
Self-care in mental health services
Out of the smokescreen II
This real-world study suggests that placing an antismoking advertisement before movies containing smoking scenes can help to immunise non-smokers against the influences of film stars' smoking. Caution must be exercised in the type of advertisement screened as some types of advertising may reinforce smokers' intentions to smoke
Adaptive Governance
Intervention to reduce environmental tobacco smoke exposure in Latino children
Applying a lay promotora model to deliver the behavioural problem solving intervention unfortunately was not effective. A likely explanation relates to the difficulty of delivering a relatively complex intervention by lay women untrained in behaviour change theory and research methods
A Middle School Immunization Law Rapidly and Substantially Increases Immunization Coverage Among Adolescents
Objectives. This study assessed the effectiveness of a middle school vaccination requirement for raising second-dose measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine and hepatitis B vaccine coverage among adolescents. Methods. Random-digit-dialed telephone surveys were conducted before (1998) and after (1999) the implementation of a vaccination requirement for entry into the seventh grade in San Diego, Calif. Results. Vaccination coverage was higher among chi…
Pilot Test of an Assessment Instrument for Latina Community Health Advisors Conducting an ETS Intervention
The tender trap
With the Government promoting flexible and 'family-friendly' policies within the NHS, an increase in the number of part-time nurses is imminent, particularly in view of current pro-active recruitment drives in this area. Research, however, indicates that it is mainly female employees who continue to utilise such policies with few male nurses employed on a part-time or flexible basis. Working part-time and taking career breaks, usually because of …
Operation Stay Quit
Organizational Restructuring and the Achievement of an Equal Opportunity Culture
The Opportunity 2000 Campaign has recognized that equal opportunity policy change has to be accompanied by a process of culture change in organizations. However, sustaining commitment to an equal opportunity culture may be a difficult task in times of rapid and varied organizational change. In particular, the volume and scope of ‘restructuring’ that follow mergers, acquisitions, divestment, the introduction of internal markets, and other changes …
Winning the lottery? Organizational restructuring and women′s managerial career development
Despite the growing amount of literature on women′s career life histories and individual career paths, analysis of the different and changing organizational contexts in which women pursue their careers is sparse. Uses an in‐depth case study of Public Sector Utility to examine how the restructuring of a public sector bureaucracy over a five‐year period affected the careers of women managers. Finds that although restructuring at PSU has opened up o…
Tobacco control for high-risk youth
Most tobacco use rates for adolescents do not take into account high school dropouts or students involved in alternative school settings. Project IMPACT (Innovative Methods for Peers Actively Controlling Tobacco) was a tobacco use prevention and cessation program for high-risk youth that tracked 680 continuation high school students for 18 months. Tracking and attrition is of particular concern in research on smoking and drug use in youth due to …

The Incorporation of Workplace Trade Unionism? Some Evidence from the Mining Industry
The incorporation of the workplace leadership has been a recurrent theme in recent writings on British trade unionism. Several surveys have revealed the emergence, since the 1960s, of more full-time representatives and more elaborate hierarchies on the shop floor, amounting to a 'bureaucratisation' of the workplace union organisation. The newly established tier of senior shop stewards, it is said, have become distant from the shop floor workers a…
