Utilizing the science of personality in Evidence-Based Management

When we speak informally about an individual’s personality, we may be referring to any number of qualities, from their temperament to their sense of humor, even the kind of media they like. However, in the social sciences, the study of personality focuses on enduring, reliable traits about a person that can be measured, and which are useful in predicting behavior (Saucier & Srivastra, 2015). The leading perspective on personality within the social sciences is the Five Factor Model, or the “Big Five”, which describes individuals in terms of their openness to experience, conscientiousness, agreeability, extroversion, and neuroticism.

Social systems theory for management practitioners: Organizations as network of decisions

In line with our critical thinking approach here at CQ Net, in this blog post we want to look beyond the traditional management understanding of organizations as machines. Sociology has a long tradition in offering theories and systems of thought on how societies, organizations and teams work and relate to each other. One of these approaches is 'social systems theory'. Carlton Clark has a look at this grand social theory and its implications for management practitioners.

Sociology safari: How grand theories from sociology guide management practitioners

From a practitioner’s point of view, academic disciplines especially from the social sciences may at first sight not seem relevant to the daily practice of administering and leading a firm. However, the field of sociology (or the study of society, social institutions and social relationships) is extremely influential and useful for business management.
Grand theories from sociology provide important key take-aways for management practitioners on how to lead and develop organizations.

Resolving the impact crisis: Bringing the social sciences into the real, working world

The social sciences have been an important driver of human progress throughout history. Research findings are still an important source for decision-making for professionals around the world. However, the reputation of social sciences has started to suffer as critics argue that they are lacking in usefulness. We argue that they do have a point and that some social sciences indeed face an impact crisis while others thrive. Furthermore, we have a look at the state of social sciences and how to overcome the impact crisis.

Why is social science the most under-valued branch of science?

A while ago, I was talking to a friend who had a background in physics and told him I’d just received an MSc (Master of Science) in Psychology. He smirked slightly and I asked what he was smiling about? “Well, it’s not really a science though, is it,” he replied.

Are your employees motivated, engaged or burned out? Why you should care and how to prevent the burnout trap

Leaders within organizations are tasked with taking time to know what burnout is, how to identify it, how to prevent it, and how to address it if it spotted. It may seem like that is a personal matter for the employee to tend to, however, there is evidence to the contrary. Organizations are, at the core, made up of people. Not taking care of them is like neglecting any process or element of the business. If you don’t address this problem which may be lurking in your workplace, it could cost the company capital, both human and financial.

E-Learning as Revolution or Evolution?

Based on recent academic literature, this report will argue that contemporary trends in e-learning respond, mostly, to an evolutionary process occurring in organisational Learning and Development. This relatively new methodology of training seems to have emerged from the need of finding cost-effective practices informed by cognitive theories that may offered reassurance for their return of investment.

Effective Training Design. Six Training Design Principles to Conduct the Shift from Training to Learning

Competitiveness of any industrialized nation is defined in the 21st century knowledge economy more than ever by highly skilled employees working in learning organisations (Noe, 2010; Cheng and Hampson, 2008; Drucker, 1999). Knowledge creation which was subject to experts and academics in the past is now deeply embedded in everyday life and organisational contexts (Gibbons et al., 2010; Nowotny et al., 2003).

How does Job Control and Autonomy Impact Workplace Health and Wellbeing?

The world of work has undergone a tremendous transformation since the end of the 18th century. During four industrial revolutions, labour intensive manual work has been gradually replaced by knowledge and service driven occupations ( Nini, 2011; Grant and Parker, 2009; Drucker, 1999). Ever since, occupational health and safety concerns have accompanied this transformation.

Ways non-standard and traditional careers could be supported in organizations

Career theory as a dedicated area of research within organization and management science emerged in the late 1970s (Moore et al. 2007). Since then a rather fragmented stream of definitions, theories and concepts, dealing with careers in one or the other way has started to converge. This report will draw on theory and research within contemporary career theory in order to outline ways traditional and non-standard careers can be supported in organisations.
