Buechner, Barton David. "Contextual mentoring of student veterans| A communication perspective." Thesis, Fielding Graduate University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3615729.
Nearly two million combat veterans are now in various stages of the process of returning from service and entering higher education using the post-9/11 GI Bill. Who is guiding and advising them in the process of this transition, and how are they doing it? To help answer this question, this qualitative phenomenological study examines the narratives of successful student veterans for ways that mentors played a role in their transition from military service to academia. The study was informed by an examination of relevant literature, including individual mentoring and group mentoring; medical and non-medical readjustment counseling for returning combat veterans; various branches of psychology, communication, social construction, and warrior mythology and storytelling. Narrative data were examined using a composite metatheoretical model drawing on domains of human experience (Shay, 2010), integral theory and the all quadrants, all levels (AQAL) model (Wilber, 2006), and the coordinated management of meaning theory of social construction in communication (Pearce, 2008). This analysis revealed patterns of multiple mentor interaction across various social worlds that helped them to make meaning from their experiences in transition, and bridge between different social contexts of home, military, and school. An unexpected but significant finding was the presence and role of traumatic experiences fitting the description of “moral injury” (Drescher et al., 2011) or “psychic wounding” (Malabou, 2012) as linked to the episodes of being mentored while making meaning of these experiences. This suggests the relationship of coordinated mentor communications to the phenomenon of posttraumatic growth, and the particular attunement of adult education (andragogy) as enabling context. Applying these findings to the composite four-quadrant model resulted in an integrated conceptual model of “contextual mentoring,” which provides a framework to consider the way coordinated mentor influences may act as mediating structures to support the development or transformation of returning veterans during their transition in higher education.
Keywords: veterans, mentoring, group mentoring, posttraumatic growth, moral injury, phenomenology, communication, coordinated management of meaning (CMM), social construction of reality, adult learning, andragogy, mediating structures.

Voss, Henry J. "The priesthood of all believers and the missio Dei| A canonical, catholic, and contextual perspective." Thesis, Wheaton College, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3614144.
Recent writers on the priesthood of all believers have challenged the doctrine’s biblical warrant, historical pedigree, and value for contemporary ecclesiology. This dissertation responds to these challenges in three ways. It first identifies the priesthood of all believers as a canonical doctrine based upon the royal priesthood of Christ and closely related to the believer’s eschatological temple-service and offering of spiritual sacrifices (Chs. 1–3). It secondly describes its catholic development by examining three paradigmatic shifts, shifts especially associated with Christendom (Chs. 4–6) and a suppression of the doctrine’s missional component. Finally, the dissertation argues that a Christian doctrine of the priesthood of all believers should be developed with a Christocentric-Trinitarian understanding of the missio Dei. This suggests there are especially appropriate ways for the royal priesthood to relate to the Father (latreia), to the Son (diakonia), and to the Holy Spirit (martyria ). A canonically and catholically informed priesthood of all believers leads contextually to particular ecclesial practices. These seven practices are 1) Baptism as public ordination to the royal priesthood; 2) Prayer; 3) Lectio Divina; 4) Ministry; 5) Church Discipline; 6) Proclamation; and 7) the Lord’s Supper as the renewal of the royal priesthood.
Aqsa, Aqsa. "A self-determined perspective on organizational politics and work outcomes : exploring individual and contextual dynamics." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016AIXM1029.
This dissertation (in a series of three empirical studies) seeks to explicate how perceived politics in organizations can be used for accomplishing effective employee performance and proactivity, and to lower employees’ intentions to quit. We ground our theoretical frameworks in self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000) and also borrow support from conservation of resource theory (Hobfoll, 2002), human agency (Bandura, 2006), and the science of positive psychology (Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2014). A quantitative survey was conducted in Pakistan to assess the proposed conceptualizations. Our findings reveal interesting patterns of relationships. We find employees with high psychological capital hold a sustainability demeanor in their performance and proactive behavior, when encountering high perceived politics. At the same time, they experience a psychological vulnerability that drives them to quit. On the contrary, perceived politics presents politically skilled employees an opportunistic / challenging turf that satisfies their innate psychological needs and uphold their proactive activities. Lastly, with regard to the motivational effects of perceived politics, we find that perceived politics hinders the internalization of extrinsic motivation at work. We conclude that employees are an integral part of an organization constituency and their well-being implies an organization’s sustainability. Since, politics cannot be eliminated we suggest managers to equip employees with psychological and social resources for the sake of optimal functioning at all levels
Olojede, Funlola Oluseyi. "Unsung heroines of the Hebrew bible : a contextual theological reading from the perspective of woman wisdom." Thesis, Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/6493.
ENGLISH SUMMARY: This study is based primarily on the presupposition that the conventional definition or description of a biblical heroine does not take into account certain ‘hidden’ women in the Old Testament who could be distinguished due to their wisdom. By using the Yoruba woman as a contextual interpretive lens, the study investigates two female characters in the Old Testament each of whom is named in only one verse of Scriptures – “the First Deborah” in Genesis 35:8 and Sheerah in 1 Chronicles 7:24. The investigation takes its point of departure from the figure of Woman Wisdom of the book of Proverbs, which commentators have characterized as a metaphor for the Israelite heroine – a consummate image of the true Israelite female icon. It is indeed remarkable that Woman Wisdom has been associated with various female figures in the Old Testament such as Ruth, Abigail, the Wise Woman of Tekoa and the Wise Woman of Abel, etc. However, this study calls for a broader definition of wisdom based on the investigation of certain women in Old Testament narratives (e.g. Deborah and Sheerah) who have received only fleeting mention and recognition but whose lives reflect a possible connection to wisdom on a deeper level. It is shown that classical (arguably masculine) ways of reading the text tend to sideline or altogether overlook certain female characters, which are regarded as marginal such as Deborah and Sheerah. However, there are narrative gaps in the units where such women are found that could be filled by a reading of the text that is sensitive to details. It is argued that a more careful examination of the minute details in the texts could break down the metanarratives in a way that shows that they have hermeneutical significance. Therefore, attention to the narrative details unveils new dimensions of meaning and implications between the two texts (women) under investigation that have not been related in previous studies. Of significance is the fact that classical readings of the two verses that mention “the First Deborah” and Sheerah (Gen 35:8 and 1 Chron 7:24) regard them as intrusive in their respective contexts. However, a multiplex reading of each of the two verses in this study has shown that, rather than being intrusive, both have been strategically constructed to underscore the importance of the two women, and that the verses actually fit into their present pericope. The references to both Deborah and Sheerah are rooted in strong Old Testament traditions namely Bethel and Ephraimite, respectively, both of which play visible roles within the pericopes. What’s more, both verses are found within significant contexts – one in the middle of a section that closes the Jacob Cycle and introduces the Joseph Cycle, the other in the midst of a theologically driven genealogy that begins with Adam. Again, based on the multifaceted character of Woman Wisdom, in particular, as a teacher, a nourisher and a builder, it is argued that this metaphor of an Israelite heroine is embodied in both “the First Deborah” and Sheerah. Whereas Deborah was a wet nurse who must have nourished and nurtured the offspring of Rebekah, her mistress, Sheerah has been identified as the only female builder throughout Scriptures. The identification of the role of a wet nurse as a nurturer and nourisher as well as the role of a daughter as a builder with Woman Wisdom points to two silent heroines, one in the private domain and the other in the public sphere, who have remained unrecognized and uncelebrated in Old Testament scholarship. Furthermore, the roles of Deborah and Sheerah, respectively as wet nurse and builder, indicate that women participated in various spectrums of societal life especially in the Second Temple period when it is assumed that the texts reached their final forms. Not only did they perform roles that were associated with women, they equally participated in roles that were regarded as traditionally masculine. In this regard, a study of the women in the book of Chronicles offers a fresh glimpse into the roles and positions of women in the Second Temple period as well as into the Chronicler’s purpose and emphasis, in particular, regarding his concept of laer"f.yI-lk'. On a theological level, the achievements of the two women demonstrate God’s penchant for supporting the weak and the marginalized and for affirming those who are regarded as less likely to succeed. The mention of the First Deborah in the Old Testament proves that in God’s script, there are no little people. In the case of Sheerah, the point that there is a lare f" y. -I lk ' that includes outstanding female achievers indicates that, theologically speaking, there is no barrier against what women can do.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die vertrekpunt van hierdie studie is die veronderstelling dat konvensionele beskrywende definisies van Bybelse heldinne sekere 'versteekte' vroue in die Ou Testament, wat uitstaan danksy hulle wysheid, verontagsaam. Met die Yoruba-vrou as kontekstuele interpretatiewe lens word twee vroulike karakters in die Ou Testament bestudeer wat elk in slegs een vers genoem word – “die Eerste Debora” in Genesis 35:8 en Seëra in 1 Kronieke 7:24. Die vertrekpunt is die figuur van Vrou Wysheid uit die boek Spreuke, wat deur kommentators gekenmerk is as 'n metafoor vir die Israelitiese heldin – 'n volkome beeld van die ware Israelitiese vroulike ikoon. Dit is merkwaardig dat Vrou Wysheid met verskeie vroulike figure in die Ou Testament vereenselwig word, soos Rut, Abigail, die Wyse Vrou van Tekoa en die Wyse Vrou van Abel, ens. Hierdie studie betrek egter 'n breër definisie van wysheid, gebaseer op 'n ondersoek na sekere vroue in Ou Testament-narratiewe (byvoorbeeld Debora en Seëra) wat slegs kursoriese erkenning geniet maar wie se lewens dui op 'n moontlike konneksie met wysheid op 'n dieper vlak. Daar word aangedui dat klassieke (aanvegbaar manlike) wyses om die teks te lees, neig om sekere vroulike karakters soos Debora en Seëra, oor die hoof te sien, en hulle sodoende te relegeer tot marginale figure. Die narratiewe gapings in die eenhede waar hierdie vroue figureer, kan oorbrug word deur 'n lees van die teks wat sensitief is ten opsigte van detail. Die argument word gestel dat nader ondersoek na die fyn besonderhede in die tekste die metanarratiewe kan dekonstrueer op 'n wyse wat hulle hermeneutiese betekenis belig. Sulke aandag aan die narratiewe detail ontbloot nuwe dimensies van betekenis en implikasies tussen die twee relevante tekste (vroue) wat nog nie in vorige navorsing weergegee is nie. Dit is betekenisvol dat huidige navorsing van die twee verse wat na “die Eerste Debora” en Seëra verwys (Gen 35:8 en 1 Kron 7:24) beide as toevoegings beskryf in hulle verskeie kontekste. 'n Meerdimensionele lees van elk van die twee verse in hierdie studie toon egter dat veel anders as toevoegings, beide verse die vroue as strategiese konstrukte stel om hulle belangrikheid aan te dui binne die perikope. Die verwysings na beide Debora en Seëra is geanker in vaste Ou-Testamentiese tradisies, naamlik die Bet-El en Efraimitiese tradisies respektiewelik, wat beide figureer binne die perikope. Wat meer is, beide verse word aangetref binne beduidende kontekste – een in die middel van 'n gedeelte wat die Jakob-siklus afsluit en die Josef-siklus inlei, die ander midde in 'n teologies-gedrewe genealogie wat vertrek vanaf Adam. Weer eens, ooreenkomstig die veelsydige karakter van Vrou Wysheid, spesifiek in die rolle van onderrigter, voeder en bouer; word geargumenteer dat hierdie metafoor vir 'n Israelitiese heldin beliggaam word in “die Eerste Debora” en Seëra. Debora was 'n soogmoeder wat die nageslag van haar meesteres, Rebekah, gevoed en opgevoed het; daarenteen word Sheerah geïdentifiseer as die enigste vroulike bouer in die Bybel. Die identifikasie van Vrou Wysheid deur die rol van 'n soogmoeder as voeder en opvoeder, sowel as dié van 'n dogter as 'n bouer, wys op twee stille heldinne, een in die private domein en die ander in die openbare sfeer, wat geen erkenning of verering in Ou- Testamentiese besinning geniet nie. Verder dui die rolle van Debora en Seëra, respektiewelik as soogmoeder en as bouer, daarop dat vroue aktief was in verskeie sektore van die sosiale lewe, veral tydens die Tweede Tempel-periode waartydens aanvaar word die tekste in hul finale weergawes geformuleer is. Vroue was dus aktief nie alleen in rolle wat met hulle geassosieer is nie, maar ook in rolle wat tradisioneel aan mans toegeskryf is. 'n Studie van die vroue in die Kronieke-boek bied vars insae in die rolle en posisies van vroue tydens die Tweede Tempel-periode, asook in die Kronis se doel en beklemtoning, veral betreffende die konsep van laer"f.yI-lk'. Op teologiese vlak illustreer die prestasies van die twee vroue God se voorliefde vir ondersteuning aan die swakkes en gemarginaliseerdes, en vir bemagtiging van dié wat beskou word as minder waarskynlike presteerders. Die verwysing na “die Eerste Debora” in die Ou Testament bewys dat in God se teks, daar geen klein mensies bestaan nie. In die geval van Seëra, bewys die feit dat daar 'n lare f" y. -I lk ' is wat besondere vroue insluit, dat daar teologies-gesproke, nie perke is aan die potensiaal van vroue nie.

""Det var något som hände, det var ju inte så att jag inte ville gå" : en studie där elevens handling i form av skolk tolkas utifrån ett kontextuellt och ungdomskulturellt perspektiv." Thesis, University West, Division of Social Pedagogy and Sociology, 2010. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hv:diva-2336.
Syftet med studien är att undersöka i vilken omfattning gymnasieelevers skolk är ett uttryck på brister inom skolans verksamhet. Utifrån syftet har två frågeställningar framkommit: Hur påverkar skolan som institution frekvensen av skolk? Vilket förändringsarbete bör ske inom skolan för att minska frekvensen av skolk? De perspektiv studien utgår ifrån är, kontextuellt samt ungdomskulturellt. Rapporten bygger på fem utförda fokusgruppsintervjuer med elever från årskurs två och tre på gymnasiet, samt sex enskilda semistrukturerade intervjuer med skolledning, elevhälsa och lärare. Materialet har bearbetats genom noggrann avlyssning av ljudinspelningar, med fokus på att finna likheter och olikheter i det empiriska materialet. Resultatet redovisas genom att väva samman informanters svar med relevanta begrepp och teorier, samt egna reflektioner och diskussioner. Genom en tematiserad meningskoncentrering, formuleras en komprimerad version av vad informanterna uttalat under intervjuerna. Som komplement till detta lyfts specifika uttalanden från våra informanter, genom citat som enligt oss bör belysas extra. Resultatet visar på en tydlig motsättning mellan personal och elever, där åsikter och erfarenheter kring fenomenet skolk skiljer sig åt i stor utsträckning. Materialet som helhet visar att relationen mellan elever och lärare på den aktuella skolan i dagsläget är ansträngd. Det resultat vi anser mest framträdande i vår studie, är faktumet att skolans gällande struktur och sociala miljö har en direkt inverkan på frekvensen av skolk. Det krävs en förändring inom skolan, i form av ett nytänkande, där elevens unika behov och välmående ställs i fokus.
The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which high school students´ truancy is a manifestation of shortcomings in school activities. Based on our aim, we have arrived at two questions: How does the school, being an institution, affect the occurrence of truancy? How can changes in the way of working in schools, reduce the occurrence of truancy? The study is based on contextual, and youth culture perspectives. The report is based on five focus group interviews with students from grade two and three in Swedish upper secondary school, and six individual semi-structured interviews with the school management, student health group and teachers. The material has been processed by carefully listening to audio recordings, focusing on finding similarities and differences in the empirical material. The results have been reported by weaving answers together from the interviews with relevant concepts and theories, as well as with our own reflections and discussions. A condensed version of what the informants have expressed during the interviews is retold in themes. To complement these retells, specific quotations from the informants which are considered especially interesting have been included. The results show a clear contradiction between staff and pupils, where views and experiences surrounding the phenomenon of truancy vary greatly. The material as a whole shows that the relationship between students and teachers at this school, in the current situation, is strained. The results we consider most prominent in our study is the fact that the school's existing structure and social environment has a direct impact on the occurrence of truancy. According to us, the school needs to change; the students´ unique needs and well-being should stand in focus.

It is known that the elderly population is increasing in relatively high numbers, generating concerns about the care they need. A form of seniors remain active is through the learning of new motor skills. In this sense, few studies involving the elderly population and the contextual interference effect have been found, particularly, studies that used sports skills as task. The objective of this study was to investigate if there is the contextual interference effect on sports skill learning in elderly. We selected 40 old persons (65-80 years old), physically active, which were divided randomly into two groups: random varied practice; and practice varied in blocks. The task was the throwing practiced at the bocce game, in which the ball should reach three targets at distances of 2, 4 and 6 meters. The practice consisted of 120 attempts divided into two practice sessions. Two Retention tests were conducted (10 min and 24 hours) and also two Transfer tests (24 hours), being performed with the preferential hand and also with the non-preferential hand of the participant, with the target at 5 meters. The performance measures used were the radial error, the standard deviation of radial error and frequency of gross errors. Kinematic measures were also used, such as amplitude, average speed and peak of acceleration in the displacement of the ball on the forwardswing; and also, speed of release of the ball. Comparisons between the practice groups, found no difference in the radial error or the standard deviation of the error (p > 0.05), but in the frequency of gross errors, there was a difference between the groups only at the acquisition phase (p < 0.05). In addition, the inferential analysis on retention and transfer tests, both the average speed as the speed of release, showed that the elderly of both groups have changed the speed (p < 0.05), probably trying to adjust the movement. Pearson correlations were performed between performance and kinematic measures and there was only a weak correlation between the radial error and amplitude on the transfer test with the non-preferential hand (p < 0.05). Overall, the results showed that the groups have similar performance on both practice structures (random and blocks) and, therefore, there was no effect of contextual interference in learning this sport skill by the elderly. However, it can be argued that the proper control of force needed in this task may require more practice time to be acquired

Tiivistelmä Yrittäjyystutkimus on muuttuva ja kehittyvä tutkimusala. Siinä kiinnostuksen kohde on ajan saatossa muuttunut kohti yrittäjän toiminnan ja muutoksen ymmärtämistä sen sijaan, että analysoitaisiin yrittäjien ja ei-yrittäjien eroja. Yrittäjyystutkimus on tunnistanut tämän hetken tutkimuskohteeksi liiketoimintamahdollisuudet ja niiden kehittymisen. Näiden liiketoimintamahdollisuuksien luomista ei vielä täysin ymmärretä ja yrittäjyyden teorian rakentaminen on alkuvaiheissa. Tässä tutkimuksessa uusien liiketoimintojen luomista pyritään ymmärtämään kokonaisvaltaisen näkemyksen kautta, huomioiden yrittäjän lisäksi teollisuudenalan ja yhteiskunnan jossa liiketoiminnan luominen tapahtuu. Sen vuoksi tutkimuksessa keskitytään uuden liiketoiminnan luomiseen ohjelmistoteollisuudessa. Tämä konteksti valittiin, koska talous on muuttumassa tuotantoperustaisesta taloudesta kohti tietotaloutta ja ohjelmistoilla on merkittävä rooli tässä muutoksessa. Tutkimuskysymyksenä tutkimuksessa on: Miten uusia liiketoimintoja luodaan ohjelmistoteollisuudessa? Tutkimuksessa kulttuuri, yhteiskunta ja yrittäjä tunnistetaan liiketoiminnan luomiseen vaikuttaviksi komponenteiksi ja toteutuminen, sosialisaatio ja syntyminen liiketoiminnan luomiseen vaikuttaviksi prosesseiksi. Nämä komponentit ja prosessit johdettiin aikaisemmasta tutkimuksesta. Näiden komponenttien ja prosessien pohjalta luotiin tutkimuskehikko, jonka avulla tutkimusaineistoa lähestytään prosessi- ja tapaustutkimuksen keinoin. Tutkimuksen tuloksena luodaan ohjelmistoteollisuuteen uuden liiketoiminnan luomisen malli. Malli näyttää miten dynaaminen uuden liiketoiminnan luominen tapahtuu. Mallissa tunnistetaan komponentit, prosessit ja generoivat mekanismit joista viimeksimainitut luovat malliin todellisen dynamiikan. Tutkimuksessa havaittiin miten yrittäjät ja uuden liiketoiminnan luominen ovat tiukasti sidoksissa yrittäjän asuinympäristöön sekä sosiaalisiin suhteisiin. Tutkimuksessa havaittiin että uuden liiketoiminnan luominen ja yrittäjämäisen identiteetin kehittyminen vaativat aikaa kehittyäkseen

The major purpose of this thesis is to verify, from a Brazilian perspective, how global and contextual issues influence the management learning in Multinationals. The management learning derived from the interaction of holding and subsidiaries/colligates of Multinational corporation is supposed to be subject to convergent and divergent forces, the former related to global and standardized organizational practices, and the latter, is seen as a social practice subject to cultural and organizational singularities. A model was constructed to relate the dichotomy between the universality of the management practices and technologies and the particularity of the contexts where they operate, to the dichotomy between the singularities in organization and national level. This model is composed of the international, global, managerial and inter-organizational dimensions related, respectively, to the cultural and political diversity; to the universal forces of practices and values; to the managerial capabilities and resources in the organization, consolidated as best practices and to the interaction between holding and subsidiaries and the resulted learning. The combined result of these dimensions influences the knowledge flow and the learning derived from it. The field research was constituted of five cases of internationalized Brazilian firms, with a solid experience in their management systems. The main subjects of this study were executives and professionals/managers who respond to the management development. The data were first collected in the headquarters and complemented with visits to subsidiaries/joint ventures in other countries, in loco or with expatriated people who return to Brazil. The central supposition was validated. So, the management learning ¿ is driven by the global capitalism practices and by the global culture where they are immersed, reproducing a hegemonic vision and a common language (global dimension); ¿ incorporates the more propagated and dominant managerial values, although there are some variations when they are applied in the subsidiaries/joint ventures; is the product of the assimilation of international recognized and planned managerial practices, with the acculturation power, although not completely; is the result mainly of the managerial practice in work; is impacted not only by cross-cultural and managerial factors, but also by the business environment of the firm; is given according to the capabilities and resources in the organization, guiding the form of assimilation of practices and technologies, with global application or not (managerial dimension); ¿ is affected by the cross-cultural diversity involving the countries of the holding and the subsidiaries/joint ventures where the firm is and is given as a reproduction of the political context of the holding and subsidiaries countries (international dimension); ¿ faces aligned concurrent institutional pressures between corporate or global systems, practices of other subsidiaries/joint ventures and local practices; is more difficult to reach when there is not permeability between organizational cultures and identities of a Multinational firm; is affected by how much the relationship process across these unities is self-referenced; is facilitated by the construction and improvement of the knowledge network (interorganizational dimension). Finally some contributions of this study are exposed, including extensions of the proposed model and suggestions, recommendations for future research.
O objetivo final do estudo é verificar, pela perspectiva brasileira, como aspectos globais e contextuais influenciam o aprendizado gerencial em multinacionais. Supõe-se que o aprendizado gerencial da interação entre matriz e subsidiárias/coligadas de uma corporação multinacional está sujeito a dois tipos de forças, operantes tanto no nível nacional quanto no organizacional: a convergente, relacionada a práticas organizacionais estandardizadas e globais; e a divergente, que insere o aprendizado como prática social sujeita às singularidades organizacionais e culturais. Para verificar a suposição foi montado um modelo, composto por quatro dimensões, cuja combinação influencia o fluxo de conhecimento resultante e a aprendizagem obtida: a internacional (diversidade cultural e política); a global (forças universalizantes de valores e práticas); a gerencial (capacidades e recursos gerenciais consolidados como melhores práticas na organização); e a interorganizacional (interação entre matriz e subsidiárias). A pesquisa de campo estudou cinco casos de empresas brasileiras internacionalizadas, com sistemas de gestão implementados. Os principais sujeitos da pesquisa foram gestores e profissionais/gerentes responsáveis pelo desenvolvimento da gestão. Os dados foram coletados inicialmente na sede e complementados pela busca de informações no exterior, in loco, ou com gestores/profissionais expatriados que retornaram ao Brasil. Os resultados obtidos validaram as seguintes proposições quanto à aprendizagem gerencial: ¿ é direcionada pelas práticas do capitalismo global e pela a cultura global em que estas estão imersas, reproduzindo uma visão hegemônica e uma linguagem comum (dimensão global); ¿ incorpora valores gerenciais mais propagados e dominantes, ainda que com variações em sua aplicação às unidades; é produto da assimilação das práticas gerenciais planejadas e reconhecidas internacionalmente, tendo força de aculturação, embora não completa; resulta predominantemente da prática gerencial no trabalho; é impactada, além de fatores gerenciais e interculturais, também pelo ambiente de negócio circundante ao setor onde a empresa atua; e dá-se segundo suas capacidades e recursos, direcionando a forma de assimilação das práticas e tecnologias, de uso global ou não (dimensão gerencial); ¿ é afetada pela diversidade intercultural envolvendo os países da matriz e das unidades onde a empresa atua e dá-se como reprodução do contexto político entre os países da matriz e das subsidiárias (dimensão internacional); ¿ enfrenta pressões institucionais concorrentes de alinhamento entre sistemas corporativos ou globais, práticas de outras unidades e práticas locais; é dificultada quando falta permeabilidade entre culturas e identidades das organizações que compõem uma Multinacional; é afetada pelo quanto o processo de relacionamento entre estas unidades é auto-referenciado; e é facilitada pela formação e melhoria das redes de conhecimento (dimensão interorganizacional). São expostas ainda as contribuições do estudo, extensões do modelo proposto e sugestões e recomendações para futuras pesquisas.

Hunter, Evan R. "Stakeholder perspectives of contextual engagement of PhD programs at select evangelical seminaries in the Majority World." Thesis, Trinity International University, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3685509.
This research utilized qualitative methods to explore how students and faculty perceive the contextual engagement of the PhD program at three select theological institutions in the Majority World. This research has value, as such engagement is both an explicit and implicit value of doctoral programs located in the Majority World. Over the last decade, the number of PhD programs established to serve the church in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and the Middle East and the number of students in them has risen rapidly. The research is descriptive in nature and not an attempt to evaluate the level of success or merit of such programs. Rather, it assumed that each program engages its context and sought to identify common themes as well as areas of convergence and divergence as indicated by faculty and student stakeholders.
The study consisted of thirty-six interviews. Sets of six faulty members and six doctoral students at each of three seminaries located in the Majority World were asked to share from their experiences in the doctoral program. The participating schools were Africa International University in Nairobi, Kenya; South Asian Institute for Advanced Christian Studies in Bangalore, India and Seminario Teológico Centroamericano, Guatemala City, Guatemala. The study asked participants to describe how the PhD program engages the context including classroom teaching and learning tasks, course outputs, including dissertations, and other non-formal aspects of the doctoral experience.
The findings revealed three primary categories of contextual engagement described by the faculty and students across the three contexts. The participants first described how the intentional design of the programs including explicit and implicit components of the curriculum engage the context. Secondly, students and faculty addressed issues of worldview and cultural values. Contextual insiders provide a depth of understanding not available outside of the context. Intracultural critique ensures contextually engaged aspects are improved through peer interactions. Finally, student and faculty participants found adult learning practices very helpful to overcome conditioned dependency on traditional education models. Participants perceived these practices as particularly helpful for engaging the local context.

This paper aims to examine the limitations and challenges that must be overcome by these teachers‗ pedagogical practice, as well as the curriculum of schools in the Brazilian semiarid, to the consolidation of a science education that brings with proposal of a contextual education and committed to the sustainable alternatives for living in this region. This study also sought to reflect on the politics of education and development for the Brazilian Semiarid having as foundation which has been and is being done to implement this proposal of Education, arguing how it can deconstruct the discourse that historically constructed subjectivities about semiarid on the national scene, denying their true potential and shared throughout its existence by people who live along its entire length knowledge. Speeches that propagated as truths which were the relations of power-knowledge existing in the society. The context was the pedagogical principle taken as one of the references used in the analysis of the science curriculum in Teaching Fundamental. This study was based on the perspective of qualitative research being conducted in four (04) local schools at Cajazeiras - PB. Eight (08) teachers of Natural Sciences of the final years of Elementary School participated answering questions that seek to investigate the existence, or not, in relation to their teaching as a contextualized education in perspective living as semiarid. For this case, it is believed that the "thick description", in the perspective of interpretive anthropology of Clifford Gleertz and Edgar Morin‘s Complex Thought present themselves as important methods for understanding the concepts put forward by / the screen in search of the protagonists. It was demonstrated they have difficulty in relating the content included in the science curriculum for primary education, with characteristic phenomena (such as drought) observed in the Brazilian Semiarid. The results show that the strengthening of a policy of initial and continuing training of science teachers who articulate the inclusion of a contextualized education for the Semiarid and that values cultural diversity in this environment is necessary. The analysis signals also to the ignorance of the Law 10,639/2003 which guides the know-how teaching concerning education for ethnic-racial relations and checks the decontextualized treatment of the contents taught in the curriculum component of natural sciences, which makes it difficult for students reflect on the true role of science in their lives, so they can understand it as part of a culture produced by men and women, as well as their relevance in the understanding of natural phenomena observed in the world around them.
Neste trabalho buscamos analisar a compreensão que os/as professores/as de Ciências da Rede Pública municipal de Cajazeiras - PB têm acerca da contextualização do Ensino de Ciências, tomando como referência a proposta de Educação Contextualizada para convivência com o Semiárido. Procuramos, também, refletir sobre as políticas de educação e desenvolvimento para o Semiárido Brasileiro tendo como fundamentação o que foi e está sendo feito para implementar essa proposta de Educação, argumentando sobre como ela pode desconstruir o discurso que historicamente construiu subjetividades acerca do Semiárido no cenário nacional, negando suas verdadeiras potencialidades e os saberes compartilhados ao longo de toda sua existência pelos povos que vivem por toda sua extensão. A contextualização foi o princípio pedagógico tomado como uma das referências utilizadas na análise do currículo de ciências no Ensino Fundamental. O trabalho pautou-se na perspectiva da pesquisa qualitativa, sendo realizado em 04 (quatro) escolas da Rede Municipal de Ensino do município de Cajazeiras – PB. Participaram da pesquisa 08 (oito) professores/as de Ciências Naturais dos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental, que responderam a questões que buscaram investigar a existência, ou não, de relação em suas práticas pedagógicas como uma educação contextualizada na perspectiva da convivência como o Semiárido. Para o nosso caso, acreditamos que as perspectivas da ―descrição densa”, da antropologia interpretativa de Clifford Gleertz, e do pensamento complexo de Edgar Morin, se apresentam como importantes teorias para compreendermos as concepções aduzidas pelos/as protagonistas da pesquisa em tela. Os resultados mostram que é necessário o fortalecimento de uma política de formação inicial e continuada de professores/as de Ciências que articule a inserção de uma educação contextualizada para o Semiárido e que valorize a diversidade cultural existente nesse ambiente. A análise sinaliza, também, para o desconhecimento da Lei 10.639/2003, que orienta o saber-fazer docente no que concerne uma educação para as relações étnico-raciais, bem como verifica o tratamento descontextualizado dos conteúdos ensinados no componente curricular de Ciências Naturais, o que dificulta que os/as estudantes reflitam sobre o verdadeiro papel da Ciência em suas vidas, para que eles/as possam entendê-la como parte de uma cultura produzida por homens e mulheres, bem como a sua relevância na compreensão dos fenômenos naturais observados no mundo que os/as cercam. Palavras – chave: Educação Contextualizada, Semiárido Brasileiro, Diversidade Cultural e Ensino de Ciências.

The 21st century is knowledge economy era. As to Multinational Corporations (MNCs),the key element to create profits already from natural resource , labor, and land changing transfer into the knowledge . Except position advantage which can be offered in foreign countries, enterprise itself must have own tactic ability with enterprise compete in local, and can use the internal advantages to obtain the ability to getting rewards . If parent company can transfer existing knowledge to needed subsidiary , it'll moving better under the existing foundation . But facing complex transnational enterprise ,everyone have own way of doing things , and different national culture. So how to distribute resources and knowledge in global and what factors influence knowledge transfer become the subject that can't ignore while transferring the technology and knowledge in MNCs. This research is in contextual perspective , in three background factors " national culture context ",'"organize culture context" and" relative context." Then will examine the determinant of success MNC Internal Knowledge transfer . Research sample is financial services industry which are domestic foreign subsidiary . Research collect data with questionnaires .The analysis of questionnaires is adopted descriptive statistic, Pearson relevant analysis and multiple regression analysis etc. as method of statistics analysis. The result of study finds that there is obvious influence on the transfer of knowledge in the national cultural difference, if it has great national culture different between parent company and subsidiary, transfer effect is worse. In organization context , the cultural compatibility and the culture of innovation and learning tendency of the subsidiary also have positive effect in internal knowledge transfer.. In addition, in the relative context of the parent company and subsidiary, trust and dependence with parent's company are all having the positive effect. The research result is referral for MNCs to improve the effect of internal knowledge transfer. Then obtain the competitive advantage in the local environment .

In this study, we focused develop and confirmation corporate entrepreneurship contextual model. We developed hypotheses relating the relationship between perceived environmental uncertainty, TMT diversity, corporate entrepreneurship and organizational performance, and the moderate effect of interfunctional coordination and relationship between TMT and board of directors in a sample of 192 Taiwanese service sector corporations. Multivariate statistical analysis was used to investigate the relative predictive power of TMT diversity on corporate entrepreneurship and organizational performance. The results of the study indicated a significant relationship between TMT diversity and corporate entrepreneurship and organizational performance. After the empirical study, the main conclusion is as followed: 1.TMT diversity significant impact the corporate entrepreneurship and organizational performance. 2.The perceived environmental uncertainty significant influenced impact on the corporate entrepreneurship and organizational performance. 3.The relationship between “TMT diversity — corporate entrepreneurship — organizational performance” and “perceived environmental uncertainty — corporate entrepreneurship — organizational performance” corporate entrepreneurship have significant mediate effect. 4.The moderate effect of interfunctional coordination and relationship between TMT and board of directors was significant. This study verified the mediate effect of corporate entrepreneurship. Therefore, it was suggested that when enterprises are pursuing organizational performance, with the addition to be devoted to improve the corporate entrepreneurship, they should make the best allocation of diversity from TMT members.

Family business research to date has attracted wide interest of many scholars and concern, due to family business compared to the non-family business, its specificity and represents a highly complex type of organization and management. However, the Familism of Chinese traditional culture spirit in the Chinese social and economic development play an important role, its influence on the Chinese family business should not be underestimated, the core issue of this study is to explore the Chinese familism how to influence the operation of the family business, and with the perspective of dual-contextual system for further discussion. This study adopts a qualitative research approach, and case studies as the main study design, collecting a total of seven Chinese family business as a case study of this object. The results can be divided into four parts: First of all, the Chinese family business because of the impact of Marxism by the Chinese family, but there are different from non-family business characteristics and management practices, such as existence of the business purpose is often to be used when a tool for the continuation of the family, rather than to seek maximization of profit; secondly, the Chinese family business through four kinds of the familization to influence the course of business, including the role ties, emotional relationship, a symbol of family, and family norms migration. Another will be through the three kinds of the informal powers to indirectly affect business, including the catalyst, bridge building, and the dominant; Thirdly, the Chinese family business in the family members through the dual complementary rules, balancing psychological and motivation; finally , under the two dimensions of Chinese family businesses with the "dual system of the whole consolidation or discrete " and "enterprise management control mode", the development of the Chinese family business can be divided into the following four idea types of family business as known as the classic type, discrete type, professional management, and the everlasting.
