A Creative Climate Framework For Developing Leaders Who Can Navigate Complexity, Uncertainty, And Change Now And Over Time, Christa M. Heydt-Hernandez

Creativity and Change Leadership Graduate Student Master's Projects

As organizational environments grow increasingly volatile and complex, leaders face a widening gap in the skills hardest to cultivate in adults: creative thinking, systems thinking, and human-centered design thinking. Yet leadership development has prioritized culture over climate, overlooking a more direct lever for change. This project argues the gap is fundamentally developmental: the skills most demanded of today's leaders are best introduced across childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood—long before the workplace—through what the author terms the Long Game of Leadership Development. In response, this project introduces the Creativity Steward™ framework, a longitudinal model grounded in developmental psychology, creative climate research, …

High School Dropout Rates Among Latin Students In The United States, Taryn T. Marriott

Student Works

An ongoing concern of educators and community members is the disproportionately high amounts of Latinx students dropping out of high school in the United States. Although there has been notable research done and action taken, the problem still remains. Lack of familial support, discrimination, and residence in low-income areas all contribute to the low retention rates of Latinx youth on track to graduate high school. As a result, youth who do not complete their education and set their sights on career goals have a harder time with employment, communicating in their society, and tend to show higher levels of engagement …

Students who take about one half of their classes online are more satisfied with their academic performance than those who take all or mostly in-person classes. Those who take all …

Examining The Relationship Between Exchange Rate And Housing Sales To Foreigners In Turkiye, Haldun Soydal, Mustafa Serdar Acar

UBT International Conference

Exchange rate is important for national economies. The exchange rate also affects the foreign investors' decision to invest in the country.

The exchange rate is also effective in the purchase of housing by foreign investors in the country. The increase in the exchange rate (the depreciation of the national currency) increases the purchasing power of foreign investors and enables them to buy more goods and services. In the study, the effect of exchange rate on foreigners' housing …

Employment Practices Using Artificial Intelligence In Healthcare: A Systematic Literature Review, Bojan Kitanovikj

UBT International Conference

In recent years, human resource management (HRM) has witnessed an increasing awareness of the potential applications of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. However, the practical integration of AI in HRM, particularly in the domain of employing new members of the workforce in the healthcare sector, remains an underexplored frontier. The proliferation of AI, bolstered by the emergence of user-friendly tools and chatbots, has paved the way for a paradigm shift in employment practices in healthcare.

Wired Women: Understanding And Reaching The 18-24 Year Old Women Of Today, Jessica David

Renée Crown University Honors Thesis Projects - All

Wired Women represent a segment of the larger millennial generation that has not previously been looked at as a singular target. Previous generational spans of 15-20 have until now successfully identified people of similar tastes, behavior and experience. The increased rate of technological discovery and innovation that has taken place over the past 25 years has caused a generational divide within millennials. It is necessary that this group of 18-24 year old women be examined separately from older millennial women as well as their same-aged male cohorts.

18-24 year old women represent an opportunity for advertisers to reach a group …
