Exploring Group Creativity in Face‐To‐Face Versus Virtual Settings
Recent research has shown that virtual settings can negatively impact interactions within groups. However, few empirical studies have looked at group creative processes in virtual teams, with most research to date focusing on individuals. To address this gap, an experimental study was carried out to compare the creative performance of groups in face‐to‐face versus virtual environments. 54 groups, each comprised of four individuals, completed two …
Finding collective strength in collective despair; exploring the link between generic critical feedback and student performance
Whilst formative feedback has been highlighted as a key element in both student satisfaction and learning, research highlights the dissatisfaction of both tutors and students with its effectiveness in improving performance. This study tracks changes in undergraduate student satisfaction and performance across three cohorts in response to variations in group-level feedback. The findings of the study show that an increased level of generic critical…
Do organizations really co-evolve? Problematizing co-evolutionary change in management and organization studies
Group creativity and the time of the day
In today’s knowledge-based economies, creativity in higher education has become a central focus for policy-makers. However, developing student creativity is still a challenge for higher education institutions. This paper seeks to contribute to our understanding of the creative processes at play in educational environments by using an experimental design to explore the time-of-day effect on group creativity. Examining 36 groups of university stude…
Rule breaking in social care
Taking a longitudinal case study approach, this article examines the process of rule breaking in a newly formed UK domiciliary care provider. In this study, the founder acted in such a manner so as to partially decouple the organization from externally imposed institutional rules and regulations, allowing the emergence of informal rules between carer and client. These informal rules increasingly guided the behaviours of care workers over time, re…
Calm in the storm
Interpreting futures through the multi-level co-evolution of organizational practices
Generalising Darwinism to study socio‐cultural change
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to critically evaluate the use of the evolutionary approach, and in particular the generalisation of Darwinian principles beyond biology to study socio‐cultural change. Design/methodology/approach The paper presents a review of developments in generalising Darwinism to study socio‐cultural change, including key criticisms against using the approach. In the process key disagreements between the different concep…
