This book is about the job satisfaction or dissatisfaction of workers generally, and those in higher education in particular. The aim of the book is to explain how to determine the average level of workers’ job satisfaction as a basis for decision and policy making in organisations including the relevant government departments.
Aimed at front-line and senior managers faced with ongoing reorganization and an increasingly reluctant workforce, this book examines what it takes to facilitate problem solving, decision-making, and workforce retention and commitment. Gottlieb explains that managers can most effectively facilitate by adopting a hands-on strategy for processes rather than tasks. This book describes the skills and tools needed for leading and managing groups with consistency, commitment, and courage. Six core skills essential to facilitating group processes are presented:^L ^DBL Initiating^L ^DBL Questioning^L ^DBL Active Listening^L ^DBL Responding^L ^DBL Resolving^L ^DBL Closing/Committing^L Gottlieb discusses the most helpful tools a manager can use for facilitation, including planning, organizing, and directing group processes. Ethical guidelines are provided in conjunction with a discussion of the manager's role in the facilitation process.
Geleitwort Die vorliegende Dissertation von Pfennig widmet sich einer Thematik, die bislang in der Controllingforschung stark vernachlässigt wurde. Dies gilt in dreifacher Hinsicht. (1) Konz- tionelle und formal-analytische Forschung hat in der Vergangenheit die empirische Forschung im Controlling klar dominiert. Zumindest im deutschsprachigen Raum kann man erst seit wenigen Jahren von einer nennenswerten empirischen Forschungstätigkeit im Controlling sprechen.

Dies gilt nicht nur in Deutschland, sonder...

It’s common for libraries to use visiting, interim, temporary, and acting roles to solve a variety of personnel vacancies. And with the current, widespread retirements and turnover at the most senior levels of library leadership, more and more libraries are being led by interim leaders. Interim Leadership in Libraries: Building Relationships, Making Decisions, and Moving On draws on evidence-based research, professional expertise, and personal experience to address the practical implications that arise from the decision to appoint interim leaders. Authors from a variety of institutions who have served in many different interim roles explore this unique type of leadership in five thorough s...
In the last two centuries Britain has experienced a revolution in higher education, with the number of students rising from a few hundred to several million. Yet the institutions that drove - and still drive - this change have been all but ignored by historians. Drawing on a decade's research, and based on work in dozens of archives, many of them used for the very first time, this is the first full-scale study of the civic universities - new institutions in the nineteenth century reflecting the growth of major Victorian cities in Britain, such as Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, York, and Durham - for more than 50 years. Tracing their story from the 1780s until the 2010s, it is an ambitiou...
