title: Editorial: 2010 General Issue

authors: Haar, Jarrod M.

subjects: human resource management

abstract: Welcome to the first edition of the New Zealand Journal of Human Resource Management (NZJHRM) for 2010. I’d like to welcome Maree Roche, who is joining me as a guest-editor for this edition. We are pleased this edition is ready so early in the year, and hope this is testament to the journals growing popularity and interest by Human Resource Management professionals, academics, and researchers. The revised focus of the NZJHRM has allowed for a greater collection of researches from countries other than New Zealand to present research that will facilitate understanding in a New Zealand HR context. The current issue supports this expanded role of the journal and presents research by Australian, UK and African researchers. By embracing research from diverse locations, New Zealand HR professionals glean insight into local and international issues relevant to HRM. 2009 was known as the year of the financial crisis, with resultant impact on HR. However, 2010 presents another year of continued challenge for HR including continued change and restructure, re-engaging of the workforce, and refocusing on retention of talent. As such, the current issue works towards providing insight into managing the complexity and challenges 2010 will continue bring.

title: Cultivating Global Health: Exploring Mindfulness Through an Organisational Psychology Lens

authors: Sutton, Anna

abstract: The interface of public health and mindfulness as presented in Oman’s review (Mindfulness for Global Public Health: Critical Analysis and Agenda) holds great promise and reveals fertile ground for future research and interdisciplinary exploration. Oman’s framework is supported by compelling arguments, ofering a balanced critique of mindfulness that identifes genuine applications and potential. This commentary notes key ideas in Oman’s paper that carry important lessons for organisational research on mindfulness and explores how organisational psychology research and theory can contribute to this proposed integration of mindfulness into global health efforts. It begins by reviewing the close relationships between work, mindfulness, and health, identifying commonalities between mindfulness, health, and organisational research. This is followed by an illustration of organisational psychology’s potential contributions to the alignment of mindfulness and health, focused on 2 of the 14 dimensions proposed by Oman (Concern for Equity and Addresses Attentional Environments). The commentary then draws on recent research and theoretical developments in mindfulness research within the workplace context to discuss the role of resilience and challenges in measuring mindfulness. Overall, this commentary aims to provide insights for organisational research while contributing to the integration of mindfulness and public health.

title: Maumahara Papahou: A mobile augmented reality memory treasure box based on Māori mnemonic aids

authors: Taia, Ivy

subjects: computer science

abstract: He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata, he tangata, he tangata.
What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a worldwide “silent epidemic” causing a variety of memory issues for those affected. Although several software approaches aim to aid memory recollection, they are inadequate for many TBI survivors and none address aspects of cultural awareness in New Zealand. We explored design concepts of traditional Mäori cultural artefacts and techniques and how they helped Mäori people recall past information. This paper describes our research and development of Maumahara Papahou, a mobile app that uses augmented reality features to create a digital memory treasure box based on the concepts of Mäori mnemonic aids.
