Using Implementation Science To Strengthen The Child Welfare Workforce, Quality Improvement Center For Workforce Development

Other QIC-WD Products

The QIC-WD is using implementation science to strengthen the child welfare workforce in eight child welfare agencies across the U.S. According to a synthesis of the literature, implementation can be defined as a specified set of activities designed to put into practice and activity or program of known dimensions. The QIC-WD is using the implementation science framework developed by NIRN and the guide created by the Permanency Innovations Initiative to support our sites through the stages of implementation: Exploration, Installation, Initial Implementation, and Full Implementation as described below. The QIC-WD knows that high quality implementation of a selected intervention is …


Digital Fluency: Necessary Competence For Teaching And Learning In Connected Classrooms, Agnes Chigona Sep 2018

Digital Fluency: Necessary Competence For Teaching And Learning In Connected Classrooms, Agnes Chigona

The African Journal of Information Systems

Educators’ digital fluency has been noted as one of the most important skill required for effective curriculum delivery in connected classrooms. Research and anecdotal evidence show that even though many Western Cape classrooms have internet connectivity, many of the educators are unable to take advantage of the connectivity for teaching and learning. Hence, this paper focuses on the educators’ digital fluency as a necessary competence for effective curriculum delivery in connected classrooms. The study was done qualitatively. Randomly selected educators from public schools participated in the one-on-one and focus group interviews. Results show that most educators perceive their digital fluency …

Understanding The Kenya Open Data Initiative Trajectory Based On Callon’S Moments Of Translation, Paul Wando Mungai Dr, Jean-Paul Van Belle Prof.

The African Journal of Information Systems

This study seeks to understand the existing interactions between actors of the Kenya Open Data Initiative (KODI), and how the actors’ interests are aligning to achieve openness and transparency of government operations. This study is based on the Callon’s moments of translation framework, which helps in describing the interaction between initiators of a network and other involved actors with the aim of aligning their diverse interests in order to achieve a common goal.

KODI has faced various challenges since its inception in 2011, …


Developing And Validating Measurement Items For A Multi-Dimensional Social Network Site Usage Construct, Nugi Nkwe Sep 2018

Developing And Validating Measurement Items For A Multi-Dimensional Social Network Site Usage Construct, Nugi Nkwe

The African Journal of Information Systems

SNS platforms are providing simultaneously for hedonic and utilitarian type uses. However, extant research continues to model the SNS usage construct as a simplistic unidimensional construct that fails to adequately reflect the multi-dimensional nature of SNS usage in workplace contexts. This paper contributes by presenting results of a multi-phase process used to develop and validate measures of the deep structure SNS usage construct from both hedonic and utilitarian perspectives. Psychometric tests were conducted using 124 usable responses, and the results show that deep structure usage is best modelled as a reflective second order construct with three first order dimensions reflecting …


Collaboration Circles: Empowering Job Seekers To Find Work Using Ad-Hoc Collaboration Networks, Lindani Castro Khanyile, Marijke Coetzee Sep 2018

Collaboration Circles: Empowering Job Seekers To Find Work Using Ad-Hoc Collaboration Networks, Lindani Castro Khanyile, Marijke Coetzee

The African Journal of Information Systems

Recent trends combine smart phones with social networking platforms to bring new opportunities that can enable people to collaborate anywhere and at any time. For example, organisations can be given the opportunity to recruit part-time job seekers such as software developers using social media tools. Previously, collaboration was static in nature, but today loosely enabled collaboration needs to support flexible schedules, ad hoc processes and members that may not be known in advance. Furthermore, current crowdsourcing platforms that enable software developers to contribute their skills to projects do not meet the social needs of participants as they collaborate. This paper …


Awareness And Preparedness Of It Managers To Digital Disruption: A South African Exploratory Case Study, Mark Prevost, Kevin Allan Johnston Prof, Maureen C. Tanner Sep 2018

Awareness And Preparedness Of It Managers To Digital Disruption: A South African Exploratory Case Study, Mark Prevost, Kevin Allan Johnston Prof, Maureen C. Tanner

The African Journal of Information Systems

Digital disruption is breaking down long established business models. In most organisations, IT managers are charged with management of technology-enabled change. It is therefore important that IT managers understand the opportunities and challenges posed by digital disruption to aid the organisation's response. The purpose of this study was to explore what South African IT managers perceive, and what their responses (or planned responses) to digital disruption within the context of a financial services organisation are. The study is interpretive, exploratory and qualitative, drawing from situational awareness theory to ground the participants’ perception of digital disruption. The study draws on Disruptive …


An Organizational Communication Approach To Information Security, Kofi Arhin, Gamel O. Wiredu Sep 2018

An Organizational Communication Approach To Information Security, Kofi Arhin, Gamel O. Wiredu

The African Journal of Information Systems

Organizations thrive on efficient information management systems as they support activities. Hence, these systems need to be protected from attacks that threaten their existence and use. Although non-technical information security ideas have been espoused by researchers, they have excluded the role of organizational communication. As such, this study explains information security from an organizational communication perspective. Drawing upon a framework of discourse and organizational change, we analyze an empirical case of how information security in an organization is implicated by communicative actions, deep structures, and communication traits. The analysis reveals that (1) prevention of security breaches is achieved by structures …

A Continuous Review Inventory System With Lost Sales And Emergency Orders, Michael Haughton, K.P. Sapna Isotupa Sep 2018

A Continuous Review Inventory System With Lost Sales And Emergency Orders, Michael Haughton, K.P. Sapna Isotupa

Business Faculty Publications

We analyze a continuous review lost sales inventory system with two types of orders—regular and emergency. The regular order has a stochastic lead time and is placed with the cheapest acceptable supplier. The emergency order has a deterministic lead time is placed with a local supplier who has a higher price. The emergency order is not always filled since the supplier may not have the ability to provide the order on an emergency basis at all times. This emergency order has a higher cost per item and has a known probability of being filled. The total costs for this system …

Intercultural Coworker Relationships (Icors) In The Global Workplace: A Grounded Theory Study, Jennifer L. Morton Sep 2018

Intercultural Coworker Relationships (Icors) In The Global Workplace: A Grounded Theory Study, Jennifer L. Morton

Dissertations

Previous research supports what employees intuitively sense: peers make the place (Chiaburu & Harrison, 2008; Schneider, 1987). Extant research suggests coworker relationships have critical influence on outcomes ranging from turnover (Felps, Mitchell, Hekman, Lee, Holtom, & Harman, 2009) to creativity (Homan, Buengeler, Eckhoff, van Ginkel, & Voelpel, 2015) to organizational commitment (Viswesvaran & Ones, 2002) to employee health and well-being (Heaphy & Dutton, 2008). Despite the increase of Intercultural COworker Relationships (ICORs), particularly in multinational firms in the technology industry, research has yet to examine what defines coworker relationship quality in the presence of national cultural differences. In other words, …

The Roles Of Extraordinary Beliefs In Consumption Rituals, Cele C. Otnes, Linda Tuncay Zayer, Robert Alfonso Arias, Arun Sreekumar Sep 2018

The Roles Of Extraordinary Beliefs In Consumption Rituals, Cele C. Otnes, Linda Tuncay Zayer, Robert Alfonso Arias, Arun Sreekumar

School of Business: Faculty Publications and Other Works

People often ascribe to extraordinary beliefs (EBs), or those that laws of science cannot explain, or those that may even contradict science. Both the foundational literature in anthropology and recent work in consumer behavior affirm the assumption that rituals—structured, repeated, symbolic, and expressive activities—might be one context where extraordinary beliefs shape consumer experiences. To date, however, little understanding exists regarding the types of EBs that emerge in consumption-ritual contexts, and how they influence ritual participation. We examine over 30 years of articles in top-tier journals to address two questions: (1) Which EBs emerge as salient to consumer rituals? (2) How …
