Master of Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP) Capstone Projects

Every year, over 19 million college students in the United States face big decisions like choosing a major, securing an internship, and deciding their next steps after graduation (National Center for Education Statistics, 2018). With rapid advancements in the world of work, there are many emerging environmental factors that make these decisions complex and challenging (Callanan, Perri, & Tomkowicz, 2017). This paper explores how positive psychology and creative problem solving research can support students as they make career-related decisions and design their lives. Advancements in positive psychology build a foundation of research that supports work as a pathway to flourishing. Accordingly ...

Glass Ceilings & Leaky Pipelines: Gender Disparity In The Casino Industry, Toni Repetti, Shekinah L. Hoffman

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

While women account for over half the hospitality workforce there is a gap in leadership positions. This study evaluates 10,950 management positions in 972 United States commercial and Native American casinos, as of December 2016. The results show women hold 35.5% of manager and above positions. Women lead in departments such as human resources, public relations, and sales and events, but lag in casino operations management. This demonstrates horizontal occupational segregation. The results also indicate women represent 46.7% of managers, but significantly less of executive leadership. Women held only 19.4% of owner, president, and chief positions ...

Increasing Voter Turnout In Kentucky Elections, Luke Williams, Carter Stinnett, Mckenna Moore

GSP at Murray State University

CONCEPT STATEMENT

Due to significantly low voter participation in Kentucky elections (as low as 11% turnout in specific counties’ primary elections) the need to increase voter turnout in specific Kentucky counties and across the state has become paramount. Research and our team’s own understanding has led us to conclude that passing a bill that adds a voter education course to Kentucky high school graduation curriculum will better Kentucky democracy by increasing voter turnout.

CONCEPT STATEMENT

Artificial Intelligence is becoming increasingly applicable in many ways in our society, and some companies in Japan are attempting to enter the eldercare business using this technology. Several companies have developed robots to be used in nursing homes, such as Robear and Paro, but no company has yet to produce a cohesive system combining all aspects of the care needed. Polar Dynamics is endeavoring to change this by bringing a developed, all-encompassing system to the United States.

“Learning Is Initiated By Interest”, Rannveig Björk Thorkelsdóttir

Organizational Aesthetics

A Theatre Laboratory Approach to Pedagogy and Creativity: Odin Theatre and Group Learning explores the pedagogy of the theatre laboratory, focusing on the seminal theatre group Odin Theatre. The structure of the book is organised in thematic areas which appraise the theatre laboratory as a learning space, the actors as learners and educators, and the ensemble’s creative processes. In the concluding chapter (chap. 8) the author, Tatiana Chemi, outlines some findings from her research, envisaging possible applications in higher education settings, reflecting on third spaces (the in-between spaces), as well as examining critical approaches to education and pedagogy.

Toward A Model Of Strategic Human Capital Management Using The Balanced Scorecard - An Exploratory Case Study, Jeffrey A. Risinger

Human Resource Development Theses and Dissertations

The issue of strategic human capital management has been studied and written about extensively over the last 20 years. Much of the focus of this work has addressed the need for internal human resources organizations to transition from transactional, processing organizations to more strategic partner functions addressing the key business needs of the organization. The vast majority of the research addressing this transition has focused on the professional characteristics of senior human resource executives. Whereas the literature presents anecdotal evidence of progress, there also exists consensus support for the idea that very little systemic movement has occurred at the organizational ...

Creating A Project Initiation Storyboard Template, Tim Burdick

Reflections on Healthcare Management

How do we best decide which projects to move forward? While a wide range of project and quality management tools and templates exist, little is available in the current literature and practice to assist leaders in selecting projects. This paper offers a simple, flexible template to improve decision making and communication. The template aligns with vocabulary and techniques from project and quality management, making the project “kick-off” more successful. Moreover, this low- tech solution is easily understood and used by most from novices to experts in project management.

Daily Huddles: An Agile Technique To Improve Project Communication, Leah Vasquez

Reflections on Healthcare Management

Incorporation of the stand-up huddle into traditional waterfall project management methodology can improve communication in complex, multi-site projects. Huddles are intended to provide an inclusive space for project team members to collaborate in real time and to aid in fostering a culture of psychological safety. Specifically, this paper explores the hypothesis that stand-up huddles can help achieve the following project goals: 1) increase flexibility to accommodate change, 2) improve coordination of work across multiple project teams, and 3) improve communication of high impact decisions between project leadership and project teams.

Stakeholders In The U.S. Healthcare System: A Possible Future, Nancy Boutin

Reflections on Healthcare Management

In 2014, Don Berwick, MD, MPP, compared his months on the Massachusetts Gubernatorial campaign trail with Marco Polo’s travels to the legendary city of Xanadu. Instead of finding silk and spaghetti, Berwick found pockets of poverty, despair, and a health system that was penny wise and pound foolish. He also found hope in community programs geared toward breaking the inexorable downward spiral faced by many Americans. Halfway through his presentation, Berwick said, “You can see what it (healthcare savings) might look like. I saw it last week on a trip to Oregon.” Berwick’s casual comment opens a path ...
