Changing Forms Of Organising In Regional Intergovernmental Cooperative Network: The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation, Matthias P. Ngui, Michael Zanko
Changing Forms Of Organising In Regional Intergovernmental Cooperative Network: The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation, Matthias P. Ngui, Michael Zanko
Michael Zanko
The organizational theory literature suggests that organisations should adapt to highly competitive business environments by strategically replacing or transforming the traditional with more innovative forms of organising. These innovative and more flexible forms of organizing are often portrayed as dichotomous and antithetical. Recent research by Pettigrew, Fenton, Palmer, DiMaggio and others discovered that one of the emergent themes in contemporary firms is that they engage in apparently contradictory practice, where the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ changes are practiced simultaneously. The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), one of the major regional intergovernmental cooperative networks in the Asia Pacific region is investigated …
Towards An Organizational Model Of Occupational Health And Safety Management: A Review Of The Literature, Michael Zanko, Scott Burrows
Towards An Organizational Model Of Occupational Health And Safety Management: A Review Of The Literature, Michael Zanko, Scott Burrows
Michael Zanko
The enormous, tragic and largely unnoticed problem of workplace injuries and deaths continues to beset countries around the globe. Tripartite regulatory approaches to address the issues involved often place primary responsibility on employers’ management of health and safety (OHS) at the workplace. This paper seeks to ascertain how OHS management at the organizational level has been treated in the research literature. A review of thirteen leading management journals from 1994 to 2005 was conspicuous by the absence of interest in OHS management as the subject or field of study. An examination of six leading HRM journals over the same timeframe …
Occupational Health And Safety Management In Organizations: A Review, Michael Zanko, Patrick Dawson
Occupational Health And Safety Management In Organizations: A Review, Michael Zanko, Patrick Dawson
Michael Zanko
In examining the research literature on occupational health and safety (OHS), this paper argues that the growth in the number of specialists in OHS has resulted in an emphasis on policy and practice away from more scholastic concerns previously addressed by academics in the disciplines of psychology and sociology. A hiatus has occurred, and this is evidenced by the general absence of studies in management, even though OHS is increasingly seen as a key operational and strategic concern of business organizations. The authors call for OHS to be placed firmly on the research agenda of management scholars, and advocate the …
Reframing Occupational Health And Safety Management: A Social Innovation Approach, Patrick M. Dawson, Michael Zanko
Reframing Occupational Health And Safety Management: A Social Innovation Approach, Patrick M. Dawson, Michael Zanko
Michael Zanko
This paper argues that traditional thinking about occupational health and safety (OHS) issues has limited the development of innovative solutions to improve employee well-being. However, recent interest in social innovation provides an opportunity to rethink approaches to OHS management. We consider the emphasis in industrial production on the push for ever greater performance (and profits), often at the expense of the well-being of employees. Next, we examine social aspects of work and consider the new, emerging concept of social innovation. Finally, we forward a more holistic model of OHS for improving the conditions and well-being of employees. Finally, we call …
Missing In Action: Research On Occupational Health And Safety Management In Organizations, Michael Zanko
Missing In Action: Research On Occupational Health And Safety Management In Organizations, Michael Zanko
Michael Zanko
The enormous problem of workplace injuries and deaths continues to beset countries. Reflexive OHS regulation often places primary responsibility on employers’ management of OHS in organizations. This paper seeks to ascertain how OHS management at the organizational level has been treated in the research literature. A review of leading journals (13 in management, 6 in HRM) from 1994 to 2005 showed OHS management to be largely missing as the subject or field of study. Naturally, the OHS literature was more fruitful: 5 main categories were identified. However, there was little in the way nuanced explanation of OHS management at the …

On The Antecedents Of Career Commitment, Michael L. Jones, Michael Zanko, George Kriflik
Michael Zanko
Organisational commitment, as a subset of the psychological contract, is an important consideration for organisational leaders to foster. Strong positive commitment can lead to increased levels of devotion, loyalty, and effort and can reduce costs associated with turnover. This paper provides a brief overview of the development of commitment, with a particular focus on career commitment. Following this, a review of current research into the antecedents of career commitment is provided. Next, it discusses seven of the most relevant antecedent factors. The paper concludes by identifying the implications of these antecedents for future research.
