Human Resource Development Faculty Publications and Presentations

The opioid epidemic continues to be an ongoing public health crisis. Many primary health care providers aptly serve as the gate keeper to opioid prescriptions. The opioid epidemic has challenged the primary care profession whilst many of these providers have opted out of opioid prescribing altogether. This unintended consequence affirms erosion to primary care that is vital to the ecosystem of opioid management. The purpose of this study was to understand strategies to deliver opioids safely and effectively. Results indicate primary care providers are uniquely positioned to make a positive opioid impact through focused change initiatives. Five common themes arose …

A total of 252 respondents completed questionnaires that assessed the internal elements of the model among Amazon mturk workers.

Chief Executive Officers’ Perceptions Of Collective Organizational Engagement And Patient Experience In Acute Care Hospitals, Mary Lynn Lunn, Andrea D. Ellinger, Kim F. Nimon, Jonathon Rb Halbesleben

Human Resource Development Faculty Publications and Presentations

The concept of employee engagement has garnered considerable attention in acute care hospitals because of the many positive benefits that research has found when clinicians are individually engaged. However, limited, if any, research has examined the effects of engaging all hospital employees (including housekeeping, cafeteria, and admissions staff) in a collective manner and how this may impact patient experience, an important measure of hospital performance. Therefore, this quantitative online survey-based study examines the association between 60 chief executive officers' (CEOs') perceptions of the collective organizational engagement (COE) of all hospital employees and patient experience. A summary measure of the US …

The Effects Of Perceived Organizational Justice Of Inclusive Talent Management Practices On Employee Work Effort, Thomas Kramer

Human Resource Development Theses and Dissertations

Talent management is an immature but growing topic for both researchers and practitioners. The academic literature identifies two conflicting approaches to talent management which vary in their level of inclusivity of employees. Researchers have concentrated on the exclusive approach, which identifies a small percentage of the workforce eligible for talent management initiatives. Through the lens of organizational justice, these studies have evaluated the individual and organization-level outcomes of the exclusive approach but have neglected the outcomes for those not selected for inclusion. This study sought to empirically assess a theoretical model that hypothesized a moderated mediation effect of organizational justice …

Mowdoc: A Dataset Of Documents From Taking The Measure Of Work For Building A Latent Semantic Analysis Space, Kim Nimon

Human Resource Development Faculty Publications and Presentations

Introduction

For organizational researchers employing surveys, understanding the semantic link between and among survey items and responses is key. Researchers like Schwarz (1999) have long understood, for example, that item order can impact survey responses. To account for “item wording similarity,” researchers may allow item error variances to correlate (cf. Rich et al., 2010, p. 625). Other researchers, such as Newman et al. (2010), have pointed to semantic similarity between items as support for the premise that work engagement is like old wine in a new bottle.

Recently, organizational researchers (e.g., Arnulf et al., 2014, 2018) …
