Transforming First Nations’ health governance in British Columbia
Authors: O’Neil John , Gallagher Joe , Wylie Lloy , Bingham Brittany , Lavoie Josee , Alcock Danielle , Johnson Harmony 
Published: November 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present a study of the transformation of First Nations’ health governance, describing the development of partnerships between First Nations and provincial and federal governments for co-creating solutions to address First Nations’ health inequities in British Columbia (BC). The paper frames this transformation in the context of a Canada-wide reconciliation initiative stimulated by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Design/methodology/approach
This qualitative case study was a joint initiative between Simon Fraser University and the BC First Nations Health Authority (FNHA), involving interviews with senior leaders within the BC health system, FNHA and First Nations communities. In addition, a policy roundtable was held in February 2015 which gathered 60 participants for further dialogue on the process.

Findings
Key themes included: partnership and relationships, governance and reciprocal accountability, First Nations perspectives on health and wellness, and quality and cultural safety. Findings indicate that significant transformational changes have happened in the relationship between First Nations and the mainstream health system. The creation of the FNHA has led to more representation for First Nations people at all levels of governance and health service planning, which will ultimately lead to more culturally safe health services that incorporate a First Nations perspective of wellness.

Social implications
The transformation of First Nations health governance in BC can serve as an example in other indigenous health settings both within Canada and internationally.

Originality/value
This paper describes a transformative health governance process in First Nations communities that is an historical first in Canada.
Cultivating the emotional intelligence of instructional coaches
Authors: Tschannen-Moran Megan , Carter Carol B. 
Published: November 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore whether the emotional intelligence (EI) of instructional coaches could be improved with training, as well as how instructional coaches perceived the relevance of EI to their success as coaches.

Design/methodology/approach
This mixed-method study was conducted in two phases. The quantitative phase examined pre- and post-test EI scores of 90 instructional coaches who completed a 20-hour coach training intervention designed to improve the coaching skills of educators working with teachers to improve their instruction. Of the nine instructional coaches interviewed for the qualitative phase, four had increased their EI scores while five had decreased. The study took place primarily in the USA, with two participants in the survey portion from countries outside the USA.

Findings
Statistically significant increases for EI were found in the full sample. Among the 44 instructional coaches who enrolled on the training course voluntarily, there were significant improvements in total EI, both the interpersonal and interpersonal composites, and all five subscales (i.e. self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills). The mean EI scored for the 46 coaches who were required to take the training did not increase. The themes that emerged from the interviews were increased awareness, improved listening, enhanced empathy, a focus on strengths, and the role of EI in success as instructional coaches.

Research limitations/implications
Future research might examine the duration, intensity, and format of training that successfully increases EI scores. For example, comparing face-to-face formats with distance formats, such as the one used in this study, might yield interesting findings. This study would have been strengthened by the inclusion of a control group that received no training.

Practical implications
Both quantitative and qualitative analyses provided evidence that EI can be improved through training; thus, such training could be incorporated into initial preparation and ongoing professional development for educators. The differential outcomes for those who volunteered for the training as opposed to those who were required to take the training as part of their jobs highlights the important of the adult learning principle of choice. Thus, the element of choice should be taken into consideration in planning professional development.

Originality/value
The use of instructional coaches is an important form of professional development, designed to bring about improved teacher practices. This study provides both quantitative and qualitative evidence of the value of coach training, including statistically significant gains on a validated measure of EI. This study makes an important contribution because prior research on the question of whether EI can be taught has been largely anecdotal.
The relationship between cultural intelligence and i-deals
Authors: Trong Luu Tuan , Rowley Chris 
Published: November 2016

PurposeCultural intelligence is the capacity to decode and harmonize with another culture for cultural synergy effects. This paper aims to examine whether cultural intelligence can activate idiosyncratic deals (i-deals) through trust as a mediator and HR localization as a moderator.Design/methodology/approachCross-sectional data from respondents from joint ventures or 100 per cent foreign-invested firms in Vietnam business setting, which were tested through the structural equation modeling, provide the evidence for the research model.FindingsResearch results confirmed the positive effect of cultural intelligence on identity-based trust and knowledge-based trust, which in turn influence i-deals. HR localization was also found to play a moderating role on the relationship between identity-based trust or knowledge-based trust and i-deals.Originality/valueCultural intelligence literature, from this study, is further deepened through its role as a trigger for the path from cultural intelligence to i-deals.
The effects of organizational and job characteristics on employees’ organizational commitment in arts-and-culture organizations
Authors: Sabella Anton Robert , El-Far Mira Taysir , Eid Niveen Labib 
Published: November 2016

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the nature of organizational commitment among employees of Palestinian arts-and-culture organizations and to examine the combined effect and role of organizational and job characteristics in shaping employees’ commitment.Design/methodology/approachAn on-site employee survey was conducted in 20 distinct local not-for-profit arts-and-culture organizations, where the respondent sampling frame constituted of 190 individuals with a response rate of 48 per cent. Confirmatory factor analysis was used in this study to confirm the original scale structure for study constructs and evaluate their distinctiveness in the Palestinian context.FindingsResults from structural equation modeling analysis revealed a reasonable rather than a good fit of the model to the data. The current study recognized organizational and job characteristics as critical determinants of employees’ commitment, particularly its affective component; which was also found to be the most accurate description of organizational commitment in arts-and-culture organizations.Research limitations/implicationsConsistent with the social exchange theory, an emphasis should be placed on employees’ perception of organizational and job characteristics. This study advocates for combining organizational characteristics with job characteristics in light of their significant association with commitment in the context of motivational theories.Practical implicationsThis study empirically demonstrates the positive effects of organizational and job characteristics on employees’ evaluation of their organization. Managers of arts-and-culture organizations should maintain a proper alignment of organizational values with those of the employees and create a working environment that meets employees’ psychological and career needs.Originality/valueThis study makes a valuable contribution to the existing body of research and adds to a very limited number of studies investigating organizational commitment in arts-and-culture organizations, validating the structure of commitment and its antecedents in a non-Western context and showing the multi-dimensionality of the concept.
The Caliphate of numbers
Authors: Hirsch Peter Buell 
Published: November 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to catalogue the various ways in which algorithm-driven decision-making now permeates myriad fields of human activities from insurance through criminal justice to hiring and employment and suggest that this diffusion represents a qualitatively new level of reputation threat for organizations in every industry.

Design/methodology/approach
The author uses an audit of numerous secondary sources to identify common themes and distinctive impacts of the uses of algorithms.

Findings
This research determined that perverse and unintended consequences of the spread of algorithm-driven decision-making were pervasive.

Research Limitations/implications
Based on a review of secondary resources, data on the impact of the algorithms is of necessity primarily anecdotal.

Practical Implications
The research shows that the pervasive inequities produced by algorithm-driven decision-making represents a very significant reputation risk and a potential flashpoint for many different organizations.

Social Implications
If algorithm-driven decision-making indeed entrenches racism and other inequities, it is critical for society that we find an effective way to regulate their use.

Originality/value
While considerable attention has been devoted to individual instances of inequities produced by algorithm-driven decision-making, we believe this is one of the first reviews to look across the spectrum of applications from a reputation risk perspective.
From philanthropy to strategic corporate sustainability: a case study in India
Authors: Jayakumar Tulsi 
Published: November 2016

PurposeThis paper aims to explore the drivers and barriers in the transition of the social responsibility agenda of large, emerging economy (EE) firms from non-strategic philanthropy to strategic corporate sustainability. This study also suggests a strategy that such firms may adopt for obtaining the desired corporate social responsibility (CSR) manifestation.Design/methodology/approachThe paper follows an in-depth case study approach of a large, family-managed Indian firm in a pollutant industry – Sudarshan Chemicals. The article is based on direct observation and in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, namely, senior management, employees and the local community members (villagers) in the company’s plant in Maharashtra.FindingsThe study exposes a lack of alignment between firm size (large) and firm CSR manifestation (small) as the key challenge that EE firms face in transforming their social responsibility agenda. Stuck in the mould of non-strategic corporate philanthropy, even large EE companies are not exposed to the three essential elements of the Western conceptualization of CSR, namely, stakeholder pressure, environmental concerns and integration into core business. Sudarshan’s small-firm CSR orientation can be seen as symptomatic of most Indian companies which are family-led, family-managed businesses.Practical implicationsFaced with strong drivers to incorporate CSR, EE firms can strategize to leap-frog from philanthropy to corporate sustainability through obtaining the desired CSR manifestation.Originality/valueThe significance of this paper lies in the “on the ground”, detailed and empirical study of the drivers and challenges faced by a large Indian company, as it proactively sought to transition from the philanthropy orientation towards strategic CSR/sustainability. The paper identifies the major challenge large, Indian corporates are likely to face going forward, as they respond to drivers in a globalized business environment.
Violence at work in prison establishments: a preliminary study
Authors: Muzavazi Christopher 
Published: November 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present a preliminary study exploring the perception of prison officers in England and Wales regarding violence in their workplace.

Design/methodology/approach
Data were gathered through questionnaires administered to 152 of Her Majesty’s Prison establishments throughout England and Wales, ranging from high secure to open prisons where officers are affiliated to the Prison Officers Association. In total, 45 officers responded, seven from women’s prisons and the remainder from male adult and youth prisons. In addition, descriptive data from the Ministry of Justice statistical data set on incidents of violence are incorporated where possible.

Findings
Results indicated that violence, both prisoner on staff and prisoner-to-prisoner, is a major concern among prison officers, across all prison categories. The prison officers who took part considered there to be an absence of what they perceived to be serious measures to prevent and manage violence. Officers view the prison disciplinary system as ineffective, with reluctance for external charges to be considered against prisoners committing acts of violence within the prison.

Research limitations/implications
The research is limited by a lack of external measures being obtained (e.g. observation of aggressive incidents) and the fact that the participants were self-selecting, with only a small proportion of respondents. However, it suggests a need for more detailed research into prison violence, one that integrates the views of prison staff as well as prisoners, with the former lacking in the research base to date. It also indicates a need for more focussed action from management, staff representatives and reform lobbies to explore collectively how to prevent violence in prison. Only by adopting a multidisciplinary and multifaceted approach can a comprehensive attempt at management be achieved.

Practical implications
Prison violence has a negative impact on correctional settings and their mission to provide a safe working environment for staff and safe environment for prisoners. Consequently, a focussed management approach on the problem is required, one that captures the view of a range of staff and prisoners. Prisoner’s violent conduct, whether assault on staff or peers, constitutes further criminal conduct. This has to be addressed through formal processes such as prison reports, police charges and potential prosecution. The latter has been under-applied. Determining the barriers to pursuing police charges and possible prosecution would be valuable to pursue. Violence against staff needs to be more thoroughly understood and not considered solely as an occupational hazard, but as a means of safe-guarding both staff and prisoners.

Originality/value
This study is the first that has sought to incorporate prison workforce perception on the problem of escalating levels of prison violence, using a sample from a wide set of prison environments.
How and why does expatriation management influence expatriates’ employability?
Authors: Bücker Joost , Poutsma Erik , Monster Hananja 
Published: November 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to offer a timely assessment of the influence of human resource (HR) processes and policies on expatriates’ employability, using a Dutch international engineering firm as the study setting.

Design/methodology/approach
The qualitative study, based on in-depth interviews with 15 respondents in various roles, such as expatriates, repatriates, HR managers and line managers, is complemented by a document analysis of HR policy reports about expatriation processes.

Findings
Expatriation management influences the internal employability of engineering expatriates, yet most HR policies related to expatriation work are counterproductive in terms of in-company employability of expatriates.

Research limitations/implications
Further research could extend this single case study by differentiating engineering from management functions and addressing employability implications for other assignments and other forms of expatriation. Comparisons are also possible across various stakeholders with regard to social support.

Practical implications
HR management can follow several prescriptions revealed by this study to increase expatriates’ employability within the organization.

Originality/value
This study is among the first to relate expatriation processes to the dimensions of employability.
Perceptions of FASD by United States District Attorneys
Authors: Brown Jerrod , Helmstetter Don , Harr Diane , Singh Jay 
Published: November 2016

Purpose
The majority of individuals diagnosed with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) will become involved with the criminal justice system during their lifetime. Due to the signs and symptoms of their illness, the psycholegal impairments presented by such alleged offenders pose unique challenges for the attorneys tasked with prosecuting their crimes. That said, little is known about the training and courtroom background of district attorneys with this population. The paper aims to discuss these issues.

Design/methodology/approach
A web-based survey was developed to investigate the knowledge bases and legal experiences of US District Attorneys concerning FASD, and to compare these across sexes, legal experience levels, as well as geographical regions. The survey was distributed electronically to all US District Attorneys following the Dillman Total Design Method. Surveys were completed by 216 respondents (men, n=166; women, n=50; Northeast, n=32; South, n=102; Midwest, n=36; West, n=46) with an average of 25.03 years (SD=10.71) of legal experience.

Findings
Participants displayed variable levels of knowledge concerning the signs and symptoms of FASD and underestimated how often persons with FASD become involved in the criminal justice system. The majority of participants had never received training on the psycholegal impairments of individuals diagnosed with FASD and reported that they would benefit from a Continuing Legal Education course on the subject. Participants also reported that they would benefit from seeing the findings of an FASD screening tool in daily practice.

Originality/value
First survey of legal professionals’ perceptions of FASD.
The crime vs the privilege of self-laundering
Authors: Meriani Marianna 
Published: November 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to explain the pros and cons of the crime of self-laundering and of the voluntary discovery rule in light of the recent reform of the Italian criminal law system. More specifically, it focuses on the Italian anti-money laundering legislation as introduced by law no. 186 of 15 December 2014 that has dismissed the privilege of self-laundering.

Design/methodology/approach
To reach such an aim, a comparative approach has been adopted, focusing first on the crime of money laundering as previously described by Article 648 bis of the Italian Criminal Code and on the reasons underlying the adoption of the so-called privilege clause and, subsequently focusing on its discipline in a common law system, the USA. Afterwards, there is the analysis of the above mentioned reform, focusing on the ratio of the new crime of self-laundering to tackle financial crimes and allow capital return from abroad.
Nevertheless, considering how recent the reform is, the absence of case law on the subject has made it difficult to well evaluate its implications.

Findings
The analysis shows how Article 648 bis of the Italian Criminal Code has been the safeguard against self-laundering incriminations.

Originality/value
Therefore, it points out the importance of the reform in light of the concerns stemming from the privilege of self-laundering (for example, propagating the effects of the crime of self-laundering). In addition, it highlights the importance of a strict interpretation of the new crime to assure its compatibility with the criminal law principles of legality and fragmentation.
In the shadow of the dark twin – proving criminality in money laundering cases
Authors: Murray Kenneth 
Published: November 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to highlight the persistent influence of the concept of “predicate offence” in respect of how the crime of money laundering is conceived and discussed, and to discuss how this inhibits the ability to prosecute the crime even where, as is the case in the UK, “predicate offence” is not a requirement of the relevant legislation.

Design/methodology/approach
Discussion of a recent UK Supreme Court judgment, R v GH, in particular, how the import of it appears to contrast with perceptions offered by the experience of two recent money laundering convictions on Scotland, where no evidence was led on establishing the money was criminal before the criminal act was libelled as money laundering. Design of modern money laundering schemes are illustrated and assessed in terms of how they can be prosecuted in the context of prevailing interpretations of the law.

Findings
The effectiveness of the UK money laundering offences as set out in the Proceeds of Crime Act of 2002 requires revaluation. Clarification is required in respect of how criminality in such cases can be proved. Consideration should be given to introducing new legislation targeted at the transmission of money or value under the cover of false documentation.

Research limitations/implications
Clarification is required on how the concept of “irresistible inference” as established by R v Anwoir can be applied to money laundering cases in light of the R v GH judgement of the UK Supreme Court.

Practical implications
Upgrade of law enforcement knowledge base and investigation skills is required to prosecute existing money laundering offences more effectively, but the lack of clarity as to what will suffice as proof of criminality serves to inhibit the investigation of these crimes as well as their prosecution.

Social implications
Protection of democracies, democratic institutions and the communities they serve from the corrupting influence of laundered criminal money through more effective prosecution of money laundering offences.

Originality/value
To encourage discussion on whether the relevant legislation remains fit for purpose and what practical measures can be taken to improve it.
