Evidence-Based Practice Attitudes, Knowledge And Perceptions Of Barriers Among Juvenile Justice Professionals, Esther Chao Mckee

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This mixed methods study examined the attitudes, knowledge and perceptions of barriers toward Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) among Florida Juvenile Justice Service Professionals (JJSP). Previous research established individual factors such as age, gender, years of professional experience and educational attainment are related to attitudes and perceptions of barriers among social service and mental health professionals, but scant research has been conducted among juvenile justice providers (Aarons 2004, 2010; Rubin & Parrish, 2007, 2012; Jette et al., 2003). Most individual factors were found to have no significant effect on attitude and knowledge scores within this population with exception of gender and major …

Public Service Motivation, Role Ambiguity, And Job Satisfaction Among Municipal Police Officers, Katharine M. Volle

Research Papers

Research in public management consistently asserts that public service motivation (PSM) facilitates beneficial work behaviors and attitudes. However, few studies have been designed to examine PSM in specific occupations. Law enforcement agencies may provide unique places to examine PSM because the public benefit of policing is directly and immediately observable by officers. Yet, law enforcement occupations are highly stressful. This study attempts to connect one form of occupational stress - role ambiguity -, public service motivation, and job satisfaction in municipal police officers. Findings from a regression model indicate that the dimensions of public service motivation are important drivers of …

The Relationship Of Affective Domains And Cognitive Performance In Paramedic Students, Katie J. Lyman

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

No universal approach for application procedures has been established for paramedic curriculum programs. The field of pre-hospital, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) has evolved quickly from its inception to present date. The educational components of EMS are still in their infancy and lack evidence-based protocols (Drees, 2006). Predicting success in an allied health program typically concentrates on some type of academic instrument. The use of personality inventories has been underexplored; however, literature reveals they may be more reliable in determining academic and employment success compared with other non-cognitive tools (Groves, Gordon, & Ryan, 2007; Marrin et al., 2004; McManus & Richards, …

Crisis Communication: Sensemaking And Decision-Making By The Cdc Under Conditions Of Uncertainty And Ambiguity During The 2009-2010 H1n1 Pandemic, Barbara Bennington

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Abstract

This study focuses on the process of communication between government agencies and the public during crisis situations, and the development of an effective response strategy when a significant threat to public health and/or safety is believed to exist. My specific research interests are (1) the nature of the decision-making process that influences the communicative choices made during such events, and (2) how decision-makers make sense of an evolving, ambiguous, and unpredictable situation, in order to establish credibility with the public, determine the appropriate response strategy, and gain the public's trust in order to influence its behavior. This is a …

The Use And Effectiveness Of Online Social Media In Volunteer Organizations, Amy J. Connolly

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Volunteer organizations face two challenges not found in non-volunteer organizations: recruiting and retaining volunteers. While social media use is increasing amongst individuals, its use and effectiveness for volunteer recruitment and retention by volunteer organizations is unknown. The dissertation reports the results of three studies to investigate this important question. Using a mixed-methods approach, it addressed the dual nature of social media and its effectiveness by including volunteer organizations and social media users.

This dissertation found that although volunteer organizations are not using social media effectively, they could virtualize requirements of the recruitment process by focusing on relatable events instead of …

Mcneil, Ft. Washington: Fda Case Study, Warren Adis

Communications of the IIMA

This research analyzes the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) quality systems methodology through a detailed 12-year case study of McNeil Consumer Healthcare and its Ft. Washington, Pennsylvania manufacturing facility. This in-depth review, from 2000 to 2011, includes plant inspections reports, out-of-compliance findings, warning letters and a plant closure injunction. It then contrasts the specific findings of the McNeil case study with an analysis of overall FDA performance within the same sector of Finished Bio-Pharmaceuticals (BP). In addition, this case study pays particular attention to the role played by the FDA’s risk methodology in enhancing the overall inspection process and increasing …

The Ethics Of Bi With Private And Public Entities, Brian Demilia, Michael Peded, Kenneth Jorgensen, Ramesh Subramanian

Communications of the IIMA

The Internet plays a vital role in data collection, information creation, and business intelligence (BI). The nature of information collected on the Internet, and the degree to which such information is collected, both have ethical ramifications. What data can be collected is very different from what data should be collected. Disregarding the latter question can be more profitable, but doing so can often involve unethical practices and more importantly, compromise the privacy of individuals. It has become widely known that private enterprises collect all manner of (BI) data about individuals, causing ethical concerns. The ethics of privacy do not affect …

Explaining Attitudes Toward And Experiences With Social Media Among Public Information Officers Through Adaptive Structuration Theory, Astrid Shiel, Michelle T. Violanti, Kevin Slusarski

Communications of the IIMA

This study set out to explore similarities and differences between firefighting organizations using and not using social media for crisis/emergency situations. Using Adaptive Structuration Theory (AST), our exploratory survey results from 129 first responders suggest social media innovations are outpacing PIOs’ abilities to effectively adopt and utilize social media strategies. Of those who do not use social media, they have considered using it for information-dissemination purposes only; the main differences between those who do and don’t use social media is their perception of the obstacles to implementing it (training, time, resources) and whether they use it in their personal lives.
