Marketing The Ir: Strategies From The Marquette Survey, Rose Fortier

Library Faculty Research and Publications

Marquette University’s institutional repository, e-Publications@Marquette, was established in 2008 for the deposit of faculty publications and research. Despite active participation by some faculty, universal participation remains an elusive goal. During the spring of 2013, faculty participation and needs were assessed via survey and compared to the IR’s capabilities in addressing those needs. Based upon the assessment survey and the IR’s available resources, a marketing plan and promotional strategies were created. The presentation will include analysis of the survey results and how they informed the creation of a marketing plan. Details of the marketing plan will be discussed as well as …

The Effect Of Online Training On Teams, Ariel Becker

Journal of Undergraduate Research at Minnesota State University, Mankato

Many organizations recognize the importance of utilizing teams to accomplish work (Chuboda et al., 2005; Devine et al., 1999; Ilgen, 1999; Martins et al., 2004). As technology has advanced, many of these organizations have recently become more reliant on virtual project work, which allows work teams to communicate across geographical distances (Driskell et al., 2003). Considering the growing prevalence of virtual teams in organizations, more needs to be known about how to facilitate virtual team effectiveness. In addition, the increased use of teams in organizations has identified and created the need for team training (Ilgen, 1999). Creating a training environment …

Value Of Organizational Ethics Training: A Two-Fold Benefit, Chad Roehrman

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

The terms “business ethics” or “moral leadership” are regularly considered oxymorons (Gini, 2004). However, nearly all members of an organization want their leaders and the entities they lead to behave ethically (Bazerman & Tenbrunsel, 2011). Additionally, given the power and influence leaders have over their followers, ethics is critical to the process of leadership (Northouse, 2013). Leaders are at the pinnacle of organizational ethics, yet they fail for a variety of reasons, necessitating organizational ethics training. First, comprehensive ethics training provides clarity of an individual’s values, providing the foundation for sound ethical decision-making. Second, ethics training that transcends simple right …

Beyond The Content And Pedagogy: A Step Forward Towards A Value-Based Teacher’S Professional Development, Sharifullah Baig

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

This paper reviews the contemporary literature of human values and valuation processes, and proposes a re-conceptualized model of a teacher’s professional development. This paper suggests a thorough analysis of the teacher’s personality and devises alternative, well thought-out strategies and approaches to alter self-knowledge, values, valuation processes, and beliefs to imbed the desired impact on their teaching practices. This paper supports the use of deliberate attempts to alter the basic motivation level of teachers and to deliberately expose them to available knowledge to modify their values, attitudes, and actions in their respective professions, organizations, and formal associations. Hence, such professional development …

Ethical Leadership In Intercollegiate Athletics, Angela Lumpkin, Joe Doty

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

Ethical leadership and a values-based culture should be two sides of the same coin in intercollegiate athletics. Needed are ethical leaders serving as role models of integrity, trustworthiness, honesty, fairness, and respect for others. Ethical leaders model how values should guide actions and decisions as well as implement reward systems that hold others accountable for ethical conduct. Athletic directors and other athletic administrators with the moral courage to do what is right regardless of circumstances can nurture values-based cultures as they shape and develop the lives of athletes and colleagues they influence. The purposes of this theoretical work are to …

The Role Of The Narrative In Values-Led Business, Dave F. Brauer, David B. Brauer

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

Many leaders of values-based organizations already possess the requisite passion for the core values of their respective organizations. The ability to have their organizations perform in a manner consistent with these values is critical to gain the authenticity necessary for their audiences in order to discern the value of what that particular organization offers. The inability to articulate this to all stakeholders — including the marketplace, investors, employees, and competitors — may increase the hazard of mortality for the organization.

One characteristic that human beings do not share with any other creature on earth is the ability to relate complex …

It’S Time To Stop Talking, And Start Taking Action About Ethics In The Military, Ritch Eich, Paul Grossgold

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

Two seasoned veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces call for immediate and comprehensive change in military leadership — especially in light of recently reported criminal offenses and general wrongdoing — all evidencing a serious lack of ethical leadership. Eich and Grossgold go beyond highlighting some of the most egregious breaches of conduct affecting those men and women who have volunteered their time, families, and potentially their lives in service to their country; they offer points of action and remediation to begin to correct such abuses and imbue ethics throughout all branches of military leadership.

Developing An Inter-University Partnership: The Importance Of Relationally-Connected Leaders, Jenny Ferrier-Kerr, Paul Haxton

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

We have been involved in an inter-university partnership that supports, contributes to, and influences our own and others’ thinking and actions. As we have collaborated on teaching, learning, and research in the field of educational leadership, we recognise that we have developed our own leadership practice and created opportunities for others to do so. The partnership in which academics and students from the University of Central Oklahoma and the University of Waikato have been participating has evolved as a flexible and innovative endeavor over an eighteen-month period. In this relatively brief time, we have discovered there are considerable possibilities for …
