The Determinants Of Entrepreneurial Success In Oman: A Holistic Approach, Mohammed Abdallah Saif Al Muqbali

Business Administration Dissertations

The literature on determinants of entrepreneurial success calls for additional research especially in GCC countries where studies in this field are limited.

Studies conclude that the set of determinants of entrepreneurship success can be vary from country to country depending on a country’s economic or market conditions, business trends, culture, human capital, natural resources and demographics. This study investigates determinants of entrepreneurial success in Oman. It also looks at two moderators, alertness to opportunity and intrinsic motivation, with the purpose of finding their impact on …

Preparing Social Workers For Practice With Lgbt Populations Affected By Substance Use: Perceptions From Students, Alumni And Service Providers, Michael P. Dentato Phd, Msw, Brian Kelly, Michael R. Lloyd, Nikki Busch

Social Work: School of Social Work Faculty Publications and Other Works

Trends in the field of service among those with alcohol and other drug addictions highlight the urgent need for schools of social work to effectively train students to serve clients with substance use disorders, and have cultural humility to effectively serve disproportionately affected LGBT consumers. Online surveys and interviews examined perceptions of graduate social work students and alumni in a certified alcohol and drug counselor program, along with several service providers within an urban setting in the US. Results indicated that students and alumni did not feel adequately prepared through coursework to practice with LGBT populations affected by substance use, …

Are Academically At-Risk College Students More Entitled Than Their Non-At-Risk Peers?, Rebekah Reysen, Matthew Reysen, Suzanne Degges-White Oct 2017

Are Academically At-Risk College Students More Entitled Than Their Non-At-Risk Peers?, Rebekah Reysen, Matthew Reysen, Suzanne Degges-White

Journal of Contemporary Research in Education

Academic Entitlement (AE) is a belief held by students that they deserve high grades in school despite a lack of effort put forth into their work (Chowning & Campbell, 2009). Although AE has become a major focus of conversation amongst higher education professionals, few studies have been published on this topic in relationship to student retention and success. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between academic performance and AE for two college student groups. Results included academically at-risk students scoring significantly higher on AE than the non-at-risk group, with AE being negatively correlated with GPA.

The Transformation Process Of Fathers Of Children With Disabilities: An Exploratory Case Study, Holly F. Pedersen Ed.D., Dionne Spooner Ph.D Oct 2017

The Transformation Process Of Fathers Of Children With Disabilities: An Exploratory Case Study, Holly F. Pedersen Ed.D., Dionne Spooner Ph.D

Journal of Human Services: Training, Research, and Practice

While the vital role that fathers play in the development of their children is emphasized in recent literature, the majority of research relative to child development focuses on mothers. This imbalance is even more evident relative to research with parents of children with disabilities, leaving human service providers with few evidence based practices for appropriately addressing the needs of fathers raising children with disabilities. Research suggests that having a child with a disability, while challenging, can also have a significant positive impact on the family system and potentially offer a transformational experience for the parent. Guided by a theoretical model …

We Are All Teachers: A Collaborative Approach To Digital Collection Development, Melanie Shell-Weiss, Annie Benefiel, Kimberly Mckee Oct 2017

We Are All Teachers: A Collaborative Approach To Digital Collection Development, Melanie Shell-Weiss, Annie Benefiel, Kimberly Mckee

Open Access Publishing Support Funded Articles

In libraries and archives, efforts to document underrepresented communities and diversify collections can be fraught with political tension. We explore an interdepartmental collaboration to create and preserve a digital collection documenting the Urban Native Relocation Program of the mid- to late-twentieth century in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Involving the Grand Valley State University Libraries, the Kutsche Office of Local History, and the university’s Native American Advisory Board, the project serves as a model not just for collaborative collection development but also for community engagement and outreach. We find that process is as important as product in developing collaborative digital collections.

Ethnic Conflict And Gender Inequality In Education: The Case Of Turkey, Ramazan Kilinc, Jody L. Neathery-Castro, Selin Akyuz Oct 2017

Ethnic Conflict And Gender Inequality In Education: The Case Of Turkey, Ramazan Kilinc, Jody L. Neathery-Castro, Selin Akyuz

Political Science Faculty Publications

Although conflict remains a major obstacle to development in many areas of the world, its impact on education has been rarely studied. This article investigates the relationship between conflict and gender equality, focusing on the schooling of the girls in the conflict-ridden regions of Turkey. Patriarchy is the most important determinant of low educational levels among girls in Southeastern Turkey. However, ethnic conflict exacerbates male-dominant traditions and blocks economic development, reinforcing patriarchal norms and limiting girls’ school attendance. Yet, by provoking political mobilization around a Kurdish identity, ethnic conflict may undermine patriarchy and unintentionally promote girls’ education.

Financial Literacy In China: Priorities And A Direction, Yiqing Yuan, Minchao Jin Oct 2017

Financial Literacy In China: Priorities And A Direction, Yiqing Yuan, Minchao Jin

Center for Social Development Research

Growing income disparity, a shrinking social welfare system, expanding financial markets, and diversifying financial products have pushed economically vulnerable groups in China into greater disadvantage in recent decades. The government has acknowledged the urgency of this situation, which underscores the micro- and macro-level importance of financial literacy and of its study. In general, there are two priorities in efforts to study financial literacy in China. One is theoretical, and the other is empirical. The theoretical priority, which comes from Western research, is to develop conceptual precision; the financial-literacy framework is not well defined, fails to differentiate among related concepts, and …

Head In The Clouds: Will A Next-Generation Library Management System Bring Clear Vision?, Denise M. Branch Oct 2017

Head In The Clouds: Will A Next-Generation Library Management System Bring Clear Vision?, Denise M. Branch

Charleston Library Conference

Multiple systems, disconnected workflows, and siloed information have plagued libraries for years. Librarians are tired of wrestling with inefficiencies and are seeking ways to unify their environment. Fortunately, they have discovered an effective tool to combat inefficiencies. Next generation library management systems are a new technology that brings many benefits. With these cloud-based systems a network of remote servers are hosted on the Internet that store, manage and process data rather than on a local server. They can transform the way services are delivered bringing streamlined workflows and enabling increased visibility and accessibility of all resources to the user community. …

Rolling With Pda And Dda: How Academic Libraries Can Use Patron-Driven And Demand-Driven Acquisition Techniques To Build Library Collections With Minimal Management And Budget, Kerry A. Falloon Oct 2017

Rolling With Pda And Dda: How Academic Libraries Can Use Patron-Driven And Demand-Driven Acquisition Techniques To Build Library Collections With Minimal Management And Budget, Kerry A. Falloon

Charleston Library Conference

Patron-driven and demand-driven acquisitions (PDA/DDA) have been utilized for some time in academic libraries, but some university libraries are still new to the process. With changes in the last couple of years regarding shortterm monograph loans becoming cost ineffective, the popularity of streaming video PDA, and library materials budgets increasingly being cut, the conundrum of successfully implementing a DDA/PDA program and how to evaluate its effectiveness is a question many libraries need to answer. In the fall of 2015, the College of Staten Island Library-CUNY, implemented a small DDA monograph pilot program with Yankee Book Peddler (YBP) and EBSCOhost e-books …

Project Ngage: Results Of A Randomized Controlled Trial Of A Dyadic Network Support Intervention To Retain Young Black Men Who Have Sex With Men In Hiv Care, Dexter R. Voisin Oct 2017

Project Ngage: Results Of A Randomized Controlled Trial Of A Dyadic Network Support Intervention To Retain Young Black Men Who Have Sex With Men In Hiv Care, Dexter R. Voisin

Faculty Scholarship

HIV-positive young black MSM (YBMSM) experience poor outcomes along the HIV care continuum, yet few interventions have been developed expressly for YBMSM retention in care. Project nGage was a randomized controlled trial conducted across five Chicago clinics with 98 HIV-positive YBMSM aged 16–29 between 2012 and 2015. The intervention used a social network elicitation approach with index YBMSM (n = 45) to identify and recruit a support confidant (SC) to the study. Each index-SC dyad met with a social worker to improve HIV-care knowledge, activate dyadic social support, and develop a retention in care plan. Each index and SC also …
