Are Your Ducks In A Row? External And Internal Stakeholder Perceptions Of The Benefits Of Parks In New South Wales, Australia, Monica Torland, Betty Weiler, Brent D. Moyle, Isabelle D. Wolf
Betty Weiler
This research examines the strategic alignment between external and internal stakeholders’ perceptions of the benefits of parks. To achieve this objective, surveys were distributed to park agency staff, as well as a sample of residents in New South Wales, Australia. Findings revealed alignment between external and internal stakeholders, with executive managers’ perceptions being generally more favourable than staff and community. The paper pays particular attention to the alignment of internal stakeholders’ (staff) perceptions, which is important for establishing and defending the market position of parks. A high degree of strategic alignment was found between executive and staff for personal benefits. …

Agroecology And Sustainable Rural Livelihoods: A Conceptual Framework To Guide Development Projects In The Pacific Islands, Cherise Addinsall, Kevin S. Glencross, Pascal Scherrer, Betty Weiler, Donald Nichols
Betty Weiler
This article reviews rural development literature in the areas of sustainable livelihoods and agroecology. Combining agroecological and sustainable livelihoods approaches enables interdisciplinary research that incorporates principles from sociology, economics, agronomy and ecology. The outcome of this literature analysis alongside participatory research in Vanuatu and Fiji in 2013–2014 was the development of the integrated Agroecology and Sustainable Rural Livelihoods Framework (ASRLF). The Pacific Island nations have a well-developed traditional economy, but appropriate rural economic development has been problematic. The ASRLF seeks to function in the local Pacific Island context while also having relevance to sustainable rural development projects elsewhere.

In the quarter of a century since the release of the 1987 Brundtland Report, sustainable tourism has emerged as the dominant paradigm in tourism development. However, the debate, discourse, and criticism of this subfield of tourism research continues. To address such concerns the purpose of this paper is to explore trends and patterns in sustainable tourism research over the past 25 years. A 25-year bibliometric analysis was conducted for the four highest ranked journals in the tourism field. Results indicate that the growth in sustainable tourism research has been remarkable, with 492 papers published in these four journals and almost …

Using Cognitive Load Theory To Select An Environment For Teaching Mobile Apps Development, Raina Mason, Graham Cooper, Simon, Barry Wilks
Using Cognitive Load Theory To Select An Environment For Teaching Mobile Apps Development, Raina Mason, Graham Cooper, Simon, Barry Wilks
Raina Mason
After considering a number of environments for the development of apps for mobile devices, we have evaluated five in terms of their suitability for students early in their programming study. For some of the evaluation we devised an evaluation scheme based on the principles of cognitive load theory to assess the relative ease or difficulty of learning and using each environment. After briefly presenting the scheme, we discuss our results, including our findings about which mobile apps development environments appear to show most promise for early-level programming students.

Gender Differences In Experiences Of Tafe It Students: A Work In Progress, Raina Mason, Graham Cooper, Tim Comber, Anne Hellou, Julie Tucker
Raina Mason
In Australia, one of the sources of loss of females in the IT education pipeline occurs at the TAFE (college) level. Female students comprise the majority of early TAFE IT courses and female completion rates for these courses are similar to males. Despite this early success, most females choose to not continue to Diploma level, and through articulation pathways into university IT courses. A survey was conducted to determine possible differences in experiences between male and female TAFE IT students. It was found that more females than males lived alone or with dependents. Female students had higher employment status, higher …

Teacher Education In Australia : Investigations Into Programming, Practicum And Partnership, David Lynch, Tony Yeigh
David Lynch
In the last decade in Australia teacher education has undergone numerous critical reviews, yet little on the teacher education front appears to have changed. Related to this, the teaching profession’s struggles to cope with a changing world have been publicly documented and an increasing push for improved school outcomes from Australian governments, at both the state and federal level, appear as regular pieces in the national press. This forms a complex situation involving competing concerns, and raises questions concerning what to make of the situation and how to move teacher education forward in Australia. This book seeks to answer these …
Modelling Stress Constructs With Biomarkers: The Importance Of The Measurment Model, Joanne Bradbury
Modelling Stress Constructs With Biomarkers: The Importance Of The Measurment Model, Joanne Bradbury
Joanne Bradbury
Background The transactional model of stress describes a psychological and physiological stress response that is elicited when an environmental demand is perceived to out-weigh the ability to cope with the demand. With perception at its core, this theory explains large variances in human stress responses. A frequently cited measure of stress perception is the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). A two-step approach to structural equation modelling (SEM) necessitates that a valid measurement model for stress be first established through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and then the impact of stress on the biomarkers be assessed. Methods The aims of this study were …

Workplace Relationships And The Innovative Behaviour Of Nursing Employees: A Social Exchange Perspective, Matthew Xerri
Workplace Relationships And The Innovative Behaviour Of Nursing Employees: A Social Exchange Perspective, Matthew Xerri
Matthew J Xerri
This research examines the impact of two organisational factors on the innovative behaviour of nurses. More specifically, this research applies the dimensions of Social Exchange Theory as a lens to develop an understanding into the mediating effect of perceived organisational support on the relationship between leader-member exchange and the innovative behaviour of nursing employees. This study uses a mixed-methods approach, including a survey in which 104 nurses responded with useable results and semi-structured interviews with twelve nursing unit managers (nursing supervisors). The findings confirm that perceived organisational support mediates the relationship between leader-member exchange and the innovative behaviour of nursing …

Repertoire, Performance, Implementation And Standardisation In Music For Formal Dance Performance On Cruise Ships, David Cashman
Repertoire, Performance, Implementation And Standardisation In Music For Formal Dance Performance On Cruise Ships, David Cashman
David Cashman
One of the many forms of musical performance aboard cruise ships is that accompanying formal dance, or “Strict Tempo Ballroom” performance. Formal dance is an important aspect of the traditional cruise ship tourism product, with links to the “glory days” of passenger shipping, media images that are used to create desire for cruise ship consumption. Such performance occurs using a compact version of a traditional big band at some stage on nearly every cruise ship. Repertoire ranges from standard 1930s big band hits to 1960s and 70s film music and 70s funk. The cruise industry realises formal dance music in …

Building Trust In Online Customers, George M. Coles, William J. Smart
Building Trust In Online Customers, George M. Coles, William J. Smart
George M Coles
Although significant progress has been made towards securing the Internet environment, many consumers remain reluctant to participate in making on-line purchases. Cyber- crime continues to have a negative influence upon the uptake and acceptance of E-Commerce by consumers. As a result commercial website operators are faced with the problem of overcoming user distrust in their systems. The main argument put forward in this study is that a consumer’s trust depends more upon traditional marketing strategies than it does upon their beliefs in the security of on-line systems. In many cases these issues have been overlooked by web developers and vendors …
