A Review of Advancements of the Index of Remoteness
The geographic proximity of any given community to population centres, services, and facilities can be a key factor for socio-economic outcomes and community growth. To provide accessible information on proximity for community stakeholders and policy development, the Centre for Special Business Projects has worked with Indigenous Services Canada to develop the Index of Remoteness, a continuous index available for all communities in Canada that me…
An exploration of the professional and leader identity of IT professionals transitioning to a permanent hybrid role: A longitudinal investigation
Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the role of professional and leader identity and the maintenance of identity, through identity work as IT professionals transitioned to a permanent hybrid role. This study therefore contributes to the under-researched area of permanent transition to a hybrid role in the context of IT, where there is a requirement to enact both the professional and leader roles together. Design/methodology/approach T…
The impact of gender perceptions and professional values on women’s careers in nursing
Purpose – This purpose of this paper is to engage two enduring sets of assumptions within nursing: firstly, that woman with children should prioritise the care of children; and secondly, that nursing standards require nurses to put their profession above other priorities. Commitment is linked to full-time working which contrasts sharply with the reality for many women with children who need to work part-time and are not able to change or extend w…
Motherhood and its impact on career progression
Purpose After many years of equal opportunities legislation, motherhood still limits womens' career progress even in a feminized occupation such as nursing. While the effect of motherhood, working hours, career breaks and school aged children upon career progression has been discussed widely, its actual scale and magnitude has received less research attention. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of these factors individually and cu…
Workplace Learning in Context
This chapter begins with a consideration of rival conceptions of learning and their relevance or otherwise for understanding learning at work.It is concluded that the most influential conceptualisation of learning, one that has decisively shaped formal education systems, is very problematic when it comes to understanding learning at work.The same difficulties occur for standard approaches to measuring attainment.In fact, it appears that 'attainme…
Power at work: Reflections on the research process
Reflecting on a research project on workplace learning amongst low-grade staff in the public sector, this paper identifies a number of key issues arising from the research process. The theme which runs throughout the paper is a concern with the nature of power, both in the workplace and in the research process. The research itself focused on a relatively powerless section of the workforce. The process of securing access contributed to the researc…
Job change and workplace learning in the public sector: The significance of new technology for unskilled work
Focussing here on local authorities and health services, this paper examines the significance of new technology to unskilled work in the public sector as it is developing and the implications for workplace learning. An argument is developed that new technology is central to a minority of examples of job change, although, significantly, it is more important to staff–initiated change and to workers’ ability to fully participate in life beyond the w…
A Feminist Trade Union Agenda? The Continued Significance of Class, Gender and Race
During the 1990s attempts to identify a feminist trade union agenda have focused on both the content and process of such a potential agenda. In a period in which trade unions have changed significantly, the general national agenda appears to be changing, acknowledging issues of importance to women. UNISON, Britain's largest trade union, has enshrined proportionality and fair representation in its constitution, developing national initiatives aime…
