Urban management, destination management and urban destination management: a comparative review with issues and examples from New Zealand
Authors: Pearce Douglas G. 
Published: March 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to first outline the central thrust of two currently non-convergent but intrinsically related streams of research – urban management and destination management – and explore the links between them. Both require an approach which coordinates and integrates multiple actors and functions in dynamic settings.Design/methodology/approach– The paper then analyses empirical examples from three New Zealand cities to illustrate relationships between destination management and urban management in practice.Findings– These cases show that without being labelled as such, quite a lot of activity takes place which reflects dimensions of both destination management and urban management, especially in terms of integration and coordination. This raises questions of just what constitutes destination management, a series of discrete ad hoc actions or some broader vision and framework.Originality/value– Empirical evidence from the three New Zealand cities shows that, with the exception of Dunedin, destination management is not a term or a concept that is explicitly used there. Nevertheless, without being labelled as such, in practice there is quite a lot of activity taking place which reflects dimensions of both destination management and urban management, especially in terms of integration and coordination.
Building trust and cohesion in virtual teams: the developmental approach
Authors: Lu Luo 
Published: March 2015

Purpose
– Using the developmental process of interpersonal relationships as a metaphor, the purpose of this paper is to examine the mediating effects of trust and cohesion on the links between psychosocial factors and work outcomes among Chinese employees.

Design/methodology/approach
– A three-wave survey method was used to collect data from 388 full-time employees working in virtual teams in diverse industries in Taiwan.

Findings
– Structural equation modeling confirmed that trust and cohesion were two key psychological mechanisms linking up team psychosocial factors (i.e. psychological similarity, shared activities) and work outcomes (i.e. job satisfaction, team performance).

Practical implications
– This study examined virtual teams, which are increasingly prevalent in cloud computing applications, from a largely overlooked social psychological perspective. The results clearly demonstrated that the development and functioning of work teams is similar to the formation and functioning of social relationships. Thus, psychology in general, social psychology in particular, should have a lot to contribute to the better understanding of the rich dynamism of work teams, virtual and face-to-face.

Originality/value
– This is the first study testing a comprehensive model of the process of attraction-identification-trust-performance in the virtual team context with a non-western sample. The unique individual-level analysis underlining the human factors complements more often taken approach of organization- and/or team-level analysis of virtuality tackling structural and strategic issues.
Leveraging apps for research and learning: a survey of Canadian academic libraries
Authors: Canuel Robin , Crichton Chad 
Published: March 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to assess the response of Canadian academic libraries to the rapid proliferation of mobile application (apps), many of which are useful for research, teaching, and learning.

Design/methodology/approach
– A survey was conducted to identify existing initiatives that address the use of mobile apps to facilitate research, teaching, and learning at the libraries of the 97 member institutions of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC). Based on this survey, this paper describes how apps are promoted, curated, organized, and described by today’s academic libraries. A review of the literature places this survey in its broader context.

Findings
– In total, 37 per cent of AUCC member libraries include links to mobile apps in their web site. Larger, research-intensive universities, tend to leverage apps more frequently than smaller institutions. Examples of how academic libraries are promoting apps provide insight into how academic librarians are responding to the proliferation of mobile technology.

Practical implications
– The results of this survey highlight trends with regard to this emerging service opportunity, help to establish current best practices in the response of academic libraries to the emergence of mobile apps, and identify areas for potential future development.

Originality/value
– This is the first study of its kind to explore and describe how third-party apps are used and promoted within an academic library context.
Psychiatric disorders and labour force activity
Authors: Jonsdottir Annika , Waghorn Geoffrey 
Published: March 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to explore and review the range and quality of international epidemiological and observational studies reporting impacts of psychiatric disorders on labour force activity. This information is needed to explore the relative priority of different diagnostic groups for more intensive forms of vocational rehabilitation.

Design/methodology/approach
– The authors provide an overview of the current literature. A systematic review of papers measuring labour force variables and psychiatric disorders across a range of countries is conducted. These results are compared to OECD background unemployment rates during the same period. The results for each diagnostic category included are aggregated and compared to the other diagnostic categories.

Findings
– The proportions of people employed decreased with the more severe disorder categories, indicating that severe psychiatric illnesses are contributing to employment struggles for people with these illnesses, across countries.

Research limitations/implications
– This review is exploratory and shows that there is little consistency in reporting of labour force variables. Future research should endeavour to utilise internationally agreed definitions of labour force activity.

Practical implications
– This conclusion is relevant to matching community residents with psychiatric disorders to the more intensive and costly forms of vocational rehabilitation.

Originality/value
– To our knowledge, no previous review has examined diagnostic categories of psychiatric disorders by labour force activity internationally while taking into account background unemployment. This review found an employment gradient related to severity of diagnostic category that will be of interest to clinicians and policy makers.
A nuanced view on supply chain integration: a coordinative and collaborative approach to operational and sustainability performance improvement
Authors: Wiengarten Frank , Longoni Annachiara 
Published: March 2015

Purpose
– This paper aims to report the results of an empirical study examining the operational, environmental and social sustainability performance impact of supply chain integration (SCI) width and depth in the form of coordinative and collaborative SCI.

Design/methodology/approach
– A questionnaire was sent to operations managers located in India. The data collection effort was part of the International Manufacturing Strategy Survey. Following the approaches by Frohlich and Westbrook (2001) and Schoenherr and Swink (2012), cluster analysis and analysis of covariance methods were conducted.

Findings
– This study supports previous studies proposing that wider SCI including customers and suppliers positively impact on performance. The authors also shed light on previous contradictory results, illustrating that different level of SCI depth (i.e. coordinative and collaborative practices) lead to different operational and sustainability performance outcomes. Thus, challenging the view of the general SCI-performance improvement hypothesis.

Originality/value
– Although research on SCI has advanced over the past years, there is still controversy about the SCI–performance relationship. Through considering SCI depth in terms of coordinative and collaborative practices, the authors provide a more nuanced view on its potential performance benefits. Therefore, this paper will be beneficial for supply chain managers considering SCI and future supply chain management research.
Can self-advocacy impact upon culture?
Authors: Greig Rob 
Published: March 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to provide a commentary on the preceding article “Changing organisational culture: another role for self-advocacy”.

Design/methodology/approach
– The paper suggests that self-advocacy has the potential to be a significant influence on organisational culture, but questions whether self-advocacy's current funding regime and limited focus on outcomes makes this possible.

Research limitations/implications
– This issue is identified as one where further research would be beneficial.

Practical implications
– If organisations are to use self-advocacy as a route of cultural change, it is suggested that attention will need to be given to issues of independent funding, management change objectives and whole system change.

Originality/value
– If evidence were generated to support the belief that self-advocacy can impact on organisational culture, the consequences for how society and services behave towards people with learning disabilities could be significant.
Commentary on “The use of cognitive behaviour therapy to treat depression in people with learning disabilities: a systematic review”
Authors: Langdon Peter E. 
Published: March 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to provide a commentary on “The use of cognitive-behaviour therapy to treat depression in people with learning disabilities: a systematic review”.Design/methodology/approach– Drawing on the literature, as well as both clinical and research experience, some reasons are outlined for the lack of attention given to psychological therapies to treat depression amongst people with intellectual disabilities (IDs).Findings– More research is needed, but existing evidence is promising regarding the effectiveness of adapted cognitive-behaviour therapy for depression amongst people with IDs.Originality/value– The commentary draws attention to the scope for developing a range of effective cognitive, behavioural and cognitive-behavioural treatments.
Performance and profile: a twofold bank profitability riddle
Authors: Divini Aikaterini , Schiniotakis Nikos 
Published: March 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this research is to examine whether a relation between employees’ profile and bank branch profitability holds in the Greek banking sector. Employees’ profile may include education, training, work experience, age and place of origin/living. In addition, it is examined whether high employee performance is related to profitable bank branches.

Design/methodology/approach
– The case of a Greek cooperative bank is selected with a network of 49 branches and a sample of 258 bank branch employees. Secondary data are collected from the bank’s human resources department database and electronic archives in reference to the year 2011. The methodology used in the research includes descriptive analysis, discriminant analysis and binominal logistic regression analysis.

Findings
– There are specific employees’ profile features relating to efficient performance that affect bank branch profitability. The findings highlight the importance of recruiting in accordance to a bank’s skills requirements and the significant role of alternative training programs, motivation and performance evaluation systems in augmenting a bank’s overall profitability.

Originality/value
– This research is the first attempt to combine and connect particular employee characteristics with efficient performance. It is also the first time that this particular bank, sample and data are examined and analyzed to serve the purpose of this research.
Being open matters: the antecedents and consequences of cross-understanding in teams
Authors: Meslec Nicoleta , Graff Daniel 
Published: March 2015

Purpose– The aim of the current paper is to explore the role of cross-understanding as a mediator between openness to cognitive experience and reflective communication cognitions on the one hand and team performance on the other hand using the input-mediator-output-input (IMOI) model as a framework (Ilgenet al., 2005).Design/methodology/approach– The sample consisted of 156 participants organized in 37 student teams. Two mediation models were estimated while using a nonparametric resampling procedure of bootstrapping developed by Hayes (2012).Findings– Cross-understanding positively mediates the relation between openness to cognitive diversity and team performance and the relation between reflective communication cognition and team performance. Reflective communication cognition has a direct and negative relation to team performance. Additionally, the percentage of women within groups positively relates to group performance.Research limitations/implications– Future research could explore the validity of this model in other organizational settings and while using different indicators for team performance.Practical implications– Practitioners should encourage an open climate toward knowledge diversity and different perspectives within teams, as this might create the optimal conditions for cross-understanding to emerge. Team members should also be encouraged to learn not only about the knowledge of other team members but also about their beliefs, preferences and things they are sensitive to, as this awareness is beneficial for the overall team performance.Originality/value– This paper contributes to the team cognition literature by bringing empirical support for a relatively less investigated concept: cross-understanding. The paper establishes its relation to team performance and two of its potential antecedents – openness to cognitive diversity and reflective communication cognition.
A case for agent-based models in organizational behavior and team research
Authors: Secchi Davide 
Published: March 2015

Purpose– This paper aims at introducing agent-based models (ABMs) and reviews some of their features in an attempt to show why they can be useful for organizational behavior research.Design/methodology/approach– The use of simulations has increased substantially in the past ten to fifteen years, but management seems to hold back to the agent-based “revolution”. The paper first describes the ABMs, and then discusses some of the issues that usually prevent management scholars from using simulations.Findings– This paper indicates how an agent-based approach can help overcome the hesitations surrounding computer simulations because (a) it makes it relatively easy to model emergent and complex social phenomena, and (b) simulation is made easier by user-friendly software platforms that connect it to the existing research methods.Originality/value– This article describes ABMs in a way that may be attractive to organization scholars, and it depicts the frontiers of a more flexible computational and mathematical approach to organizations, management and teams.

SummaryInfectious diseases are widely recognized to have substantial impact on wildlife populations. These impacts are sometimes exacerbated in small endangered populations, and therefore, the success of conservation reintroductions to aid the recovery of such species can be seriously threatened by outbreaks of infectious disease. Intensive management strategies associated with conservation reintroductions can further compound these negative effects in such populations.Exploring the sublethal effects of disease outbreaks among natural populations is challenging and requires longitudinal, individual life‐history data on patterns of reproductive success and other indicators of individual fitness.Long‐term monitoring data concerning detailed reproductive information of the reintroduced Mauritius parakeet (Psittacula echo) population collected before, during and after a disease outbreak was investigated.Deleterious effects of an outbreak of beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) were revealed on hatch success, but these effects were remarkably short‐lived and disproportionately associated with breeding pairs which took supplemental food. IndividualBFDVinfection status was not predicted by any genetic, environmental or conservation management factors and was not associated with any of our measures of immune function, perhaps suggesting immunological impairment. Experimental immunostimulation using thePHA(phytohaemagglutinin assay) challenge technique did, however, provoke a significant cellular immune response.We illustrate the resilience of this bottlenecked and once critically endangered, island‐endemic species to an epidemic outbreak ofBFDVand highlight the value of systematic monitoring in revealing inconspicuous but nonetheless substantial ecological interactions. Our study demonstrates that the emergence of such an infectious disease in a population ordinarily associated with increased susceptibility does not necessarily lead to deleterious impacts on population growth and that negative effects on reproductive fitness can be short‐lived.

Published: March 2015

ObjectiveTo examine whether care experiences and immunization for racial/ethnic/language minority Medicare beneficiaries vary with the proportion of same‐group beneficiaries in Medicare Advantage (MA) contracts.Data Sources/Study SettingExactly 492,495 Medicare beneficiaries responding to the 2008–2009 MA Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Survey.Data Collection/Extraction MethodsMixed‐effect regression models predicted eight CAHPS patient experience measures from self‐reported race/ethnicity/language preference at individual and contract levels, beneficiary‐level case‐mix adjustors, along with contract and geographic random effects.Principal FindingsAs a contract's proportion of a given minority group increased, overall and non‐Hispanic, white patient experiences were poorer on average; for the minority group in question, however, high‐minority plans may score as well as low‐minority plans. Spanish‐preferring Hispanic beneficiaries also experience smaller disparities relative to non‐Hispanic whites in plans with higher Spanish‐preferring proportions.ConclusionsThe tendency for high‐minority contracts to provide less positive patient experiences for others in the contract, but similar or even more positive patient experiences for concentrated minority group beneficiaries, may reflect cultural competency, particularly language services, that partially or fully counterbalance the poorer overall quality of these contracts. For some beneficiaries, experiences may be just as positive in some high‐minority plans with low overall scores as in plans with higher overall scores.
Review article: Emergency department models of care in the context of care quality and cost: A systematic review
Authors: Wylie Kate , Crilly Julia , Toloo Ghasem (Sam) , FitzGerald Gerry , Burke John , Williams Ged , Bell Anthony 
Published: March 2015

AbstractTo identify current ED models of care and their impact on care quality, care effectiveness, and cost. A systematic search of key health databases (Medline, CINAHL, Cochrane, EMbase) was conducted to identify literature on ED models of care. Additionally, a focused review of the contents of 11 international and national emergency medicine, nursing and health economic journals (published between 2010 and 2013) was undertaken with snowball identification of references of the most recent and relevant papers. Articles published between 1998 and 2013 in the English language were included for initial review by three of the authors. Studies in underdeveloped countries and not addressing the objectives of the present study were excluded. Relevant details were extracted from the retrieved literature, and analysed for relevance and impact. The literature was synthesised around the study's main themes. Models described within the literature mainly focused on addressing issues at the input, throughput or output stages of ED care delivery. Models often varied to account for site specific characteristics (e.g. onsite inpatient units) or to suit staffing profiles (e.g. extended scope physiotherapist), ED geographical location (e.g. metropolitan or rural site), and patient demographic profile (e.g. paediatrics, older persons, ethnicity). Only a few studies conducted cost‐effectiveness analysis of service models. Although various models of delivering emergency healthcare exist, further research is required in order to make accurate and reliable assessments of their safety, clinical effectiveness and cost‐effectiveness.
Paracetamol poisoning in adolescents in an Australian setting: Not quite adults
Authors: Graudins Andis 
Published: March 2015

AbstractObjectiveTo describe and compare the characteristics of paracetamol poisoning in adolescent and adult patients.MethodDescriptive retrospective case series of adolescent (12–17 years) and adult (>18 years) patients presenting to a metropolitan hospital network ED, diagnosed with paracetamol poisoning from October 2009 to September 2013.ResultsThere were 220 adolescent (median age 16 years, 47% treated with acetylcysteine [NAC]) and 647 adult presentations (median age 27 years, 42% treated with NAC) for paracetamol poisoning in the study period. Adolescent patients were more frequently women (89% vs 76%; odds ratio [OR] 2.4; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.5–3.8) and ingested similar amounts of paracetamol (18 g) when requiring NAC treatment. Adolescents were more likely to ingest paracetamol as a single agent (53% vs 34%; OR 2.2; 95% CI 1.6–3.0) and less likely to ingest compound paracetamol products than adults (18% vs 29%; OR 0.54; 95% CI 0.36–0.79). Adolescents were less likely to report accidental supratherapeutic ingestion of paracetamol (0.02% vs 10%; OR 0.23; 95% CI 0.09–0.58), or co‐ingestion of prescription medications (25% vs 43%; OR 0.4; 95% CI 0.31–0.62). Adolescents had more frequent histamine release reactions to NAC than adults (17% vs 8%; OR 2.3; 95% CI 1.2–4.5). No cases required liver transplantation or resulted in death.ConclusionAdolescents ingested comparable amounts of paracetamol to adults, when presenting with deliberate self‐poisoning. However, there were significant differences in co‐ingested medications and the reason for ingestion of paracetamol. Histamine reactions to NAC were more common in adolescents; however, most were mild. Overall, outcome was favourable in both cohorts.
