Authors:   Opole University of Technology, Faculty of Economics and Management, Magdziarczyk Małgorzata , Chmiela Andrzej ,   Spółka Restrukturyzacji Kopalń S.A., Bytom, Smoliński Adam ,   Central Mining Institute
Published: May 2024

Purpose: Growing global warming increases the threat of energy supply security in the form of the “blackout” phenomenon. Pumping stations pump out approximately 100 million m3 of water annually (data from 2023). Discontinuation of mine water pumping would expose neighbouring mines and lower-lying areas to flooding. Design/methodology/approach: For the designed database of functional scenarios of the mine water pumping station, the optimal variant was selected based on economic and ecological criteria as well as the energy security criterion. Findings: The research analyzed five technically feasible variants of modernization of mine water pumping stations. Each variant is characterized by a different degree of security of energy supply and a different level of meeting energy demand. Research limitations/implications: All variants of modernization of the pumping station provide for the production of electricity for own needs. All investment attractiveness factors should be taken into account while making investment decisions. It is up to the decision-maker to make the final multi-criteria decision so as to implement the selected variant. Practical implications: One of the challenge is to ensure security of energy supplies in the event of a sudden energy shortage. Pumping stations have some retention, nevertheless a longer shutdown time could lead to environmental problems. Removing the damage would definitely require large financial expenditures and would take several years. Social implications: The planned project of the energy supply security can have a positive impact on the local community and economy. The projects discussed will create new markets related to "green energy". Originality/value: The aim of the article is to assess the investment relevance of safety projects for power supply to mine water pumping stations. The combination of the problems of drainage of liquidated mines, the use of renewable energy sources and energy storage to improve the security of power supply to pumping stations has not been the subject of scientific research so far. Keywords: drainage of liquidated mines, energy storage, renewable sources of energy, hydrogen extraction, revitalization of post-mining installations.

Published: May 2024

Purpose: This study's primary goal is to present the theoretical concept of family enterprises. Specifically, the results of earlier studies and the issues facing this field of research now will be described. The article also examines the underlying impacts that family control has on business management in order to fill the research gap left by earlier studies on the performance differences between family and non-family enterprises. A thorough analysis of the literature revealed that family firms place equal value on non-financial performance as they do on financial performance. Design/methodology/approach: The study's survey focuses on critical analysis methods used in the literature. Critical theoretical analysis will also be accompanied by comparative, analytical and monographic methods implied to draw conclusions on further research directions in the family business sector. Findings: The current work makes a significant contribution by broadening the theoretical foundation for family business research. Therefore, a sound foundation for the explanation of distinctive strategic management components may be established using the behavior-oriented approach, stakeholder theory, target composition, and balanced scorecard approach. Research limitations/implications: Unconfirmed theories may be examined more closely, particularly in a modified setting. Practical implications: The findings of this theoretical study are not only important for business research but also for business practice. The study is primary addressed to the top management of family and non-family businesses. Moreover, potential investors, banks and consultants could benefit from the results of this study. Originality/value: This study aims to provide a better understanding of the relationship between the variables of family influence, goal setting and selection of key performance indicators and organizational performance and business success. That is how a contribution can be made to the ongoing discussion about the success of family businesses and its underlying factors. Keywords: Family business, Goal setting, Business performance, Small and medium-sized enterprises. Category of the paper: literature review
Competencies as determinants of remuneration
Authors:   Bydgoszcz University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Management, Department of Economics and Marketing, Topolewska Kamila
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine how the competencies expected by employers affect the possibility of achieving a wage equal to or above the average wage in the economy. Design/methodology/approach: Achieving the stated goal required a several-step approach. The first step was an analysis of the literature in terms of employers' expectations in the labor market and individual determinants of the salary received. Subsequently, the focus was on obtaining and checking the data (they came from the Human Capital Study -HCS). After this stage, an econometric model was estimated, which, after verifying its correctness, became the basis for analyzing the impact of individual competencies on the proposed salary. Findings: Based on the results of the logit model, it can be concluded that among the competencies that have a positive impact on wages should be distinguished, among others: the ability to operate a computer and specialized computer programs, the ability to assemble and repair machinery and technical equipment, the ability to perform advanced mathematical calculations, cooperation with people of other nationalities, willingness to travel frequently, and willingness to work unusual hours. Research limitations/implications: The main limitation of the survey was data gaps. Some employers were unwilling to state the amount they would offer for the indicated position. Practical implications: Employers have the opportunity to compare what aspects of employee competence, businesses pay attention to, and how they value them. Based on this data, the approach of a particular organization can be verified and adjusted to market conditions. Social implications: Based on the analysis, it is possible to see which competencies are particularly valued by employers. By developing them, employees can increase the likelihood of receiving a higher salary. Consequently, this will contribute to improving their living conditions. These results can also influence job seekers, who, by developing the indicated competencies, can adapt to the requirements of the labor market and thus shorten the job search period. Originality/value: The added value of the article is to show the expectations of employers and their direct impact on the chance of obtaining a high salary. Keywords: competencies, wages, logit model. Category of the paper: Research paper.

Purpose: The aim of the article is to analyze the operation of company X in the context of logistic customer service in practice. Design/methodology/approach: The idea of the work is to present the theoretical part of customer service and compare it to logistic customer service in practice. It also includes comparisons of practical solutions of company X to theoretical requirements. Findings: The research issue discussed in the article was a survey. Its purpose is to present customer service in Patrick's Day in company X. 81 people of different genders and age groups responded anonymously to the survey questions 15- >60 years. General knowledge of the logistics industry and responses from opinion makers were taken into account. The responses of the surveyed people were presented graphically along with their descriptions. Research limitations/implications: The practical part is intended to reflect the actual compliance of company X with the imposed rules. The Logistics Customer Service Principles were created to ensure a consistent and effective approach to customer service in the context of logistics. Practical implications: The type of customer service strategy depends on the specific goals and needs of a given business. The essence of logistic customer service is the effective management of the flow of products and services from the place of production to the place of consumption in order to meet customer needs. Logistics customer service covers many aspects, such as planning, controlling and monitoring the flow of goods, inventory management, transport, warehousing and coordination of activities between various links in the supply chain. Social implications: Customer service also means the ability to accept customer opinions and comments with an open mind. Customers should be able to express their opinions and complaints and then respond effectively. Originality/value: The article draws attention to the importance of a non-routine approach to the dynamics of opportunities. This is important for management as a scientific discipline, but also for managers, which indicates various possible development paths. Keywords: Customer, logistic customer service, logistics.

Authors:   University of Economics in Katowice, Wójcik Andrzej
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The purpose of the considerations presented in the paper was to examine the changes that occurred in both population and GDP size and in selected economic sectors as a result of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the highlighted EU regions. Design/methodology/approach: The paper examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the population of selected EU regions, GDP in those regions, and the impact of the pandemic on the unemployment rate, the number of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion, the number of nights spent in overnight accommodations, the number of passengers traveling by air, the number of people who ordered goods or services online in the past year, and employment in high-tech sectors. The impact was examined by analyzing development trend models for selected variables and verifying the hypothesis of constancy of model parameters with the Chow test. Predictions of selected variables were also counted if there had been no pandemic and compared to actual values from the COVID-19 pandemic period. Findings: Not all regions were equally affected by the effects of the pandemic. This was undoubtedly influenced by the authorities' struggle with the effects of the pandemic, but also by the entrepreneurial spirit of the residents of the regions studied. Also in different spheres of economic life, the effects of the pandemic varied from negative to positive. Research limitations/implications: Further research should also include the other EU regions and more economic sectors, allowing us to group regions according to similarities in coping with the pandemic and calculate spatial correlations. A problem we may encounter is the lack of sufficient data, which may result in the exclusion of some regions and economic sectors from the study. Social implications: Through the research, we can highlight regions that are coping better with the effects of a pandemic, and this can inspire regions that are coping less well. In the future, regions can look up to the actions carried out by authorities in other regions to offset the effects of pandemics (or other disasters with global effects) and transfer them to their own region. Originality/value: The article compares regions within the boundaries of which are national capitals. It was shown which region did best in combating the effects of the pandemic and which did less well. The article also shows what the impact of the pandemic was on the various branches of the economy. Keywords: COVID-19 pandemic, trend models, Chow test.

An exploration of generativity in faculty group processes in post-secondary.
Authors: Slavik Christine
Published: May 2024

Like most organizations, a university needs to plan for its success. The environment in which universities operate continues to shift and change consequent to economic realities, changing demographics, changes in technology, and most recently a global pandemic. Planning in higher education must be creative and responsive to address multifaceted demands. To sustain post-secondary education, institutional leaders need to develop skill sets that promote effective dialogue, group work, and generativity within internal organizations. Concepts of leadership for the 21st century shift focus away from the previous approaches of making incremental improvements to already existing processes toward discovering possibilities, exploring potential innovations, and generating actions (Burgess & Newton, 2015; Webber, 2016). Building on existing frameworks for understanding generativity in group work and planning, this study sought to understand generative processes and conversations that compel people to act upon thoughts and feelings arising from social interactions. A descriptive study design was utilized to explore and summarize the experiences of faculty involved in three different group planning processes: brainstorming (Osborn 1953, 1957, 1963), a force field analysis (Lewin, 1947), and a variation of an appreciative inquiry process (Cooperrider & Srivastva, 1987). The development of a generative conversations survey tool focused on how the faculty participants perceived the qualities of their experiences. A key outcome of the research was the creation of a set of recommendations for thinking about the design of group sessions and meetings that can transmethodologically enhance chances for generative results.
Breaking down silos: Postsecondary leaders collaborating to advance One Health in education.
Authors: Pearce Alyse , Anholt Michele , Markides Jennifer , Darlington MacKinley , Brown Barbara , Roy Sylvie
Published: May 2024

This contribution describes how leaders from the University of Calgary Knowledge Engagement team, the manager of One Health at UCalgary and faculty members from Werklund School of Education came together to form a leadership team and plan a transdisciplinary initiative for future implementation in K-12 schools. The One Health initiative at the University of Calgary is committed to tackling complex problems at the convergence of people, animals, and the environment, and the underlying economic and social factors that determine the opportunities for health across all ecosystems. Systems thinking and inviting different perspectives into the conversation provided a greater understanding of the scope of global challenges and how our individual actions impact others and the environment we all share. The authors used a collaborative and dialogic approach to plan a knowledge engagement session with regional public-school educators to consider how inclusion of the One Health approach into existing curriculum could benefit students. In this chapter, the authors reflected on how matchmaking brought the team together as a boundary-spanning and transdisciplinary team and describe their collective actions and leadership in building collaboration and connections with community partners to lay the foundation for a robust outreach program. The reflections suggest that leaders in higher education can break down silos using a complexity paradigm for their leadership and work together across different departments to combine diverse expertise for community engagement.

Published: May 2024

In the current era, leadership in higher education faces unprecedented challenges as a result of neoliberalism's influence. To effectively provide instructional leadership, higher education leaders and administrators need to acquire new skills and strategies. The issues of inadequate funding, increased workload, massification, and marketization in universities necessitate skillful navigation to uphold educational quality. This integrated literature review examines the impact of neoliberalism on teaching and learning and explores the specific skills and capacities required by university leaders to deliver effective instructional leadership. Through a comprehensive review, we shed light on the essential leadership skills necessary within the context of neoliberalism. By addressing these challenges head-on, leaders can navigate the neoliberal waters and build the capacities needed for successful instructional leadership in higher education.
Experiencing leadership: Perceptions of leadership development for higher education contexts.
Authors: Eftenaru Cristina L.
Published: May 2024

Higher education is complex and so is the leadership needed in this context. Educational leadership is not well understood despite an increasing interest in studying the phenomenon. This interpretive study aimed to identify aspects of leadership theory found in practice and implications for leadership education by exploring, analyzing, and interpreting experiences of people who earned an Educational Leadership Doctorate at Simon Fraser University. I conducted in-depth interviews and analyzed data to identify themes within and across interviews while also triangulating with my systematic reflections. This paper presents findings on leadership development, focusing on four themes that emerged from 18 interviews with higher education participants: Pathways to Formal Leadership, Learning “How to Be a Leader”, Learning “About Leadership”, and Learning “the Dialogue of Practice”. Leadership was perceived as an intricate lifelong journey. Overall, participants developed their leadership through their own experiences as leaders, followers, or observers of leadership, by engaging in leadership education (formal, informal, and non-formal), and by interacting with others. Finally, both successes and challenges supported learning, yet challenges were more salient and had more memorable lessons. This paper provides valuable insights on leadership development to leadership scholars and practitioners, as well as organizations offering leadership education.

Investigating students’ perceptions of self-directed learning in mathematics at the basic school level
Authors: Pokhrel Maheshwor , Sharma Lekhnath
Published: May 2024

Self-directed learning (SDL) is an educational approach, where individuals take initiative and responsibility for their own learning, choosing what, how, and when to learn. It is assumed that SDL empowers students to tailor their educational experiences to personal interests and pace of learning, fostering autonomy and lifelong learning habits. This study aims to investigate on students’ attitudes toward SDL in mathematics at basic school level using quantitative research design (survey). The data were collected from students using SDL attitude scale. Total papulation of the survey consists of students from six publics and eight private schools, out of which students from two purposefully selected schools from each category for the sample. From the four school, 120 students were selected. Attitudes towards SDL in mathematics scale developed by the researchers were applied to collect the data and were analyzed using SPSS version26 based on the research questions. The study revealed that students had negative attitude toward self-management, self-monitoring and self-motivation as required for SDL in mathematics at basic level school. Moreover, there is no significant difference in student’s attitudes toward SDL in mathematics between public and private school, and between male and female students. The result shows that student’s attitude towards SDL changes positively as they participated in different teaching learning techniques applied for engaging them in learning such as KWL, jigsaw, reciprocal teaching, think-share-pair, and cooperative, and collaborative instruction. This implies that negative attitude towards a pedagogical approach does not mean that students pay less attention to the approach but changes when applied appropriately. 
La construcción del lenguaje global de los derechos humanos en el Chile posdictatorial: un análisis de la representación local del caso Letelier
Authors: Jara L. Daniela , Badilla Manuela
Published: May 2024

Este artículo analiza la representación local del llamado caso Letelier, en la década de los 70 y la década de los 90 y sus signifi cativos cambios en el discurso pú-blico. El atentado a Orlando Letelier en Washington tuvo una alta repercusión pública por su carácter internacional, lo que posibilitó cambios relevantes en la signifi cación del pasado reciente en Chile. El objetivo de este trabajo es comprender cómo este em-blemático caso contribuyó a la conformación y consolidación del lenguaje global de los derechos humanos en Chile. A través de un análisis de discurso de publicaciones en medios y literatura secundaria sobre este caso, los resultados muestran que estos discursos tuvieron un carácter interméstico, logrando infl uir en escenarios globales y locales y erosionar las bases morales de la dictadura, y, por otra parte, una capacidad pedagógica que permitió la narración de una memoria cultural de la atrocidad, mar-cando un quiebre en la representación de la historia reciente. Esto favoreció el desa-rrollo de sentimientos públicos de reconocimiento a las víctimas de la dictadura en la sociedad chilena.

Authors: Olafimihan Adeola Richard , Bamidele Akinrinola Tajudeen , Fagbola Olajire
Published: May 2024

Continuous land cultivation has led to the application of fertilisers to maintain high crop yields. Favourable effects of different fertiliser sources for improved crop performance have been reported. However, there is scarce information on crop response to the residual effect of organomineral fertilisers (OMFs) applied to early sole and maize-soya bean intercropping. Consequently, the objective of this study was to evaluate the residual effect of N levels of organomineral and inorganic fertilisers applied to maize and soya bean in sole cropping and intercropping. The study was conducted in the years 2017 and 2018 in the Southern Guinea Savannah, Jalingo, Taraba State, Nigeria. Responses to the residual influence of early season cropping systems and applications of OMF and NPK 20-10-10 were evaluated in repeated field trials. The residual effects of a previously assessed 2 9 factorial arrangement, cropping system (sole and intercrop) and fertiliser applications (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 kg Nha of OMF and 50, 100, 150, 200 kg N ha of NPK fertiliser) were evaluated in a randomised complete block design with three replicates. Maize (ACR-95DT) and soya bean (TGX 1488-2E) were planted at densities of 40,000 and 74,000 plants ha, respectively. Data were analysed using ANOVA at p 0.05. Maize and soya bean plant heights and N uptake significantly increased under the residual influence of sole cropping compared to intercropping in both years. Furthermore, maize-soya bean intercropping produced significantly lower grain yields than their sole crops in both years. The land equivalent ratio of the system was greater than one in both years. The residual effect of early season intercropping reduced subsequent yields of maize and soya bean, while OMF residual effects favoured sole maize, sole bean, and maize-bean intercrop performances at 100 kg Nha.

Authors: Tirtoni Feri , Suwarta Nyoman
Published: May 2024

Education in Indonesia plays an important role in building the nation. Educational Efforts to make humans become better individuals. Through this training, teachers can instill the noble values of the Indonesian people in students at the school. Ethnopedagogy, or what is commonly known as education based on regional wisdom, is the use of local areas for education. In addition to learning about local wisdom around them, students can understand the learning conveyed in thematic learning activities with the help of information technology, such as the internet. Thematic learning activities can be referred to as discussion activities. In this thematic learning, more emphasis is placed on learning by doing or the application of the concept of learning by doing, so the teacher must organize and plan learning in such a way that it becomes a meaningful experience for students. This research data collection technique is very important because this method is used as a strategy to collect necessary data. Data collection techniques used in this study were observation, in-depth interviews and documentation. It can be seen that the thematic ethnopedagogy has a good effect on the learning outcomes of fifth grade students who receive more points than the KKM. The application of etopedagogy in thematic learning besides having a good effect on students' thematic learning outcomes, also has a good effect on students' attitudes. Learning is in line with material from several subjects in one topic

Purpose: The risk of cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) reaches 30-50%, and there are numerous diagnostic tests to detect CMV replication. The most common tests used in this group of patients include 65kDa phosphoprotein (pp65) antigenemia immunofluorescence assay and nucleic-acid-based quantitative CMV-DNA polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).
Material and Methods: In this study, patients who underwent ASCT and developed CMV positivity from 2009 to 2016 in our hospital were evaluated retrospectively. The study included samples of the same patient with antigenemia and CMV-DNA qPCR test for up to 48 hours. The study aimed to determine the factors affecting CMV DNA antigenemia and compare CMV DNA PCR and pp65 antigenemia immunofluorescence assay.
Results: The results of 138 specimens of 39 patients who underwent ASCT were evaluated. The mean value of CMV PCR, which was positive for both tests, was 57.887 copies/ml (70- 1.213.633 copies/ml) and a significant correlation was found between the two tests and the positive samples (p = 0.018). The ROC analysis showed that 322 copies/ml CMV viral load in plasma corresponds to ≥1 antigen-positive cells/200 thousand leukocytes (Sensitivity: 68.5%; Specificity: 31.5%). CMV infection was observed in 32 samples; CMV DNA cut-off values of the reference according to CMV DNA PCR and antigenemia results, compared to the development of CMV infection, presented a significant correlation (p=0.004).
Conclusion: Although there is a common agreement between antigenemia and CMV DNA PCR tests, one should keep in mind that the sensitivity of antigenemia test is low especially in the neutropenic period.

Modern electronic means are quite sensitive to electromagnetic interference. At the same time, they must function reliably in the existing electromagnetic environment. Lightning discharges and industrial sources make a significant contribution to the formation of the electromagnetic environment around electronic equipment. In this case, pulsed magnetic fields with microsecond parameters most often arise. The most rational approach to ensuring electromagnetic compatibility of electronic means is the most complete accounting and protection from possible phenomena at the design stage. Different methods for modeling the consequences of exposure to electromagnetic interference have their own advantages and disadvantages. To develop a technique and modeling interference in electronic means based on an artificial neural network using the example of the influence of a pulsed magnetic field a the purpose of this work. A practical technique for calculation the magnitude of interference in electronic means using an artificial neural network the paper proposes. All stages of the technique are described: analysis of the main input parameters affecting the amount of interference in the electronic means; the use of a special experimental stand for measuring interference depending on significant input parameters; choosing the structure and parameters of an artificial neural network to modeling interference; choosing a training method for an artificial neural network; choosing a criterion for assessing the quality of training when solving a regression problem; normalization of training data; training an artificial neural network using measured data; modeling the amount of interference in the communication line of an electronic means when exposed to a pulsed magnetic field; assessment of consequences and selection of methods of protection against interference. As an example, we consider the problem of modeling the amount of interference in a communication line inside an electronic means when exposed to a pulsed magnetic field. The magnetic field has parameters recommended by the requirements of the regulatory document on electromagnetic compatibility of devices. In the problem under consideration, an acceptable discrepancy in results is achieved with an acceptable number of neural network training epochs.

The Moinui lava flow on the west flank of Mauna Loa, Hawai`i, is a 32-km-long pāhoehoe basalt flow, between 760 and 1500 years old, characterised by the presence of two generations of olivine: 2–5-mm-sized glomerocrystic clusters of equant polyhedral grains, and dendritic plates. Both generations are distributed throughout the flow field from the vent at 3400 m above sea level to the ocean. We mapped roadcut outcrops in detail to investigate the internal geometry and emplacement mechanisms of the flow, and sampled these outcrops to collect quantitative textural data on the two olivine populations in 2D and 3D, with a view to understanding emplacement processes in general, and the factors controlling the growth, transport, and deposition of phenocryst olivine in particular. Roadcut outcrops reveal complex geometries of interconnected tube-fed sheet lobes, with the main control being pre-existing topography: drained tubes with flanking sheet lobes were developed on the seaward slope of the volcano, whereas tumuli were developed on the flat coastal plain topography. The internal architecture of the flow field is consistent with current hypotheses of emplacement by breakout and inflation of flow lobes from tube-fed internal pathways. Concentrations of up to 30% olivine represent settling of the larger size-fraction of the transported load, with no evidence for superimposed effects of flow differentiation.Implied effective viscosities were around 1000 Pa s. The glomerocrystic population was inherited as pre-existing crystal clusters derived from a sub-volcanic chamber, rather than by synneusis (random collision and aggregation) post-eruption, whereas the plate population was probably generated by a burst of nucleation related to degassing and supercooling during the vent eruption. Other than this, there is no evidence for substantial growth of the transported olivines during flow.
The establishing of the collective farm system in Chechnya in the 1930s
Authors: Elbuzdukaevа Tamara
Published: May 2024

The article analyzes the problems associated with the policy of collectivization in Chechnya in the late 1920s - 1930s. Collectivization was accompanied by the dispossession of peasant farms, and the fate of all those repressed during this process still remains unknown. The reaction to the collective farm policy and the confiscation of peasant property was equally negative everywhere, and the rejection of collectivization by the population of Chechnya was expressed in the most extreme form - in the form of armed demonstrations.
Deported Chechens and Ingush in the structure of productive forces
Authors: Isakieva Zulai
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the daily life of deported Chechens and Ingush. The relevance of the history of the daily life of special settlers is due to the special attention to their life in the harsh conditions of wartime in an unusual environment and is associated with the task of more fully revealing the essence of totalitarianism. On the basis of factual material, the author reveals the issues of housing and living conditions, labor arrangements, medical care, industrial and social activities, as well as the legal status of internally displaced persons from among Chechens and Ingush.
The Gender MobiliTy Paradox Gender Segregation and Women’s Mobility across Gender-Type boundaries, 1970–2018
Authors: Torre Margarita , Jacobs Jerry
Published: May 2024

in this article, we examine trends in women’s mobility among male-dominated, gender-neutral, and female-dominated occupations. earlier research, largely employing data fromthe 1970s and early 1980s, showed that along with significant net movement by women intomale-dominated fields, there was also substantial attrition from male-dominated occupa-tions. Here, we build on previous research by examining how “gender-type” mobility rateshave changed in recent decades. the findings indicate that while still quite high, levels ofwomen’s occupational mobility among female, gender-neutral, and male occupations havedecreased considerably over time. We suggest that this is the result of increasing differentia-tion among women. in particular, many women, especially those in high-status occupations,plan to pursue employment in a male-dominated field, succeed in gaining entry, and tend toremain in these fields more often than their counterparts in previous decades. We interpretthese findings as evidence that gender segregation is maintained by an enduring but imper-fect system of social control that constrains women’s choices before, during, and after entryinto the labor market. the evidence presented here underscores the importance of studyinggender-type mobility as a distinct dimension of labor market inequality.
Exploring the use of Resume for Research and Innovation Narrative CVs in live postdoc recruitments

It has been suggested Narrative CVs (NCVs) will increase recruitment of underrepresented groups and give more weight to wider contributions of academic researchers, though no empirical evidence exists on whether they achieve this. In a randomised controlled trial of five postdoctoral recruitments at the University of Cambridge, candidates were asked to submit a cover letter, Standard CV (SCV) and NCV. Panel members ranked candidates based on their cover letter and either their SCV or NCV. Then, panel members saw the full applications, ranked candidates again, and the recruitment continued as usual. Afterwards, we interviewed panel members and candidates about their experiences. While NCVs allow detailing wider contributions, they may be less suitable for early career recruitments. NCVs may introduce bias around language, writing- and self-presentation skills. Additional guidance and familiarity with NCV formats may increase potential benefits of their use in academic recruitment.
