An examination of identity creation and management process in new organisational entrants

Brunton, James; Buckley, Finian
An examination of identity creation and management process in new organisational entrants
(2005)
Brunton, James; Buckley, Finian
Abstract:
The problems relating to unsuccessful organisational identity creation can affect both the individual’s and the organisation’s chances of attaining successful or satisfactory outcomes. Both the individual and the organisation benefit from the individual being able to carry out appropriate identity work and construct a stable identity that can be incorporated into the pre-existing contents of their “identity portfolio”. This paper reports on a research programme that sought a deeper understanding of the processes involved in identity creation and management by new organisational entrants. Merging work from a variety of fields (e.g. Leonard Beauvais and Scholl, 1999; Campbell-Clark 2000; Haslam, 2003;Ashforth, 2000) the research focussed on the flow, within the individual, between one identity and another, and how this process affects the facilitation of increased levels of perceived compatibility between the identities that make up an individual’s sense of self. The research also exa...

Communication enhancement: a process dividend for the organisation and the HRM department?
(1997)
Buckley, Finian; Monks, Kathy; Sinnott, Anne
Abstract:
Quality has become a key issue for organisations seeking competitive advantage and coping with ever changing market demands. Evidence suggests that the human resource implications of such initiatives are frequently underestimated and neglected Powell, 1995). The present study surveyed 133 Irish organisations implementing Quality Initiatives (QIs), focusing particularly on the impact of these initiatives on internal communication processes and the role played by the human resource (HR) function in these changes. Results indicate the overall success of the QIs in enhancing internal communication processes, but highlight two issues: the surprising absence of HR function involvement in the deliverance of these communication enhancements and the perception by most respondents that while the stated tangible QI objectives have been achieved, there is still some distance to be travelled to fulfil employee expectations on the more intangible communication based needs. The implications of the...

Conceptualising collaborative processes in university research centres
(2009)
Alexopoulos, Angelos; Harney, Brian; Monks, Kathy; Buckley, Finian; Hogan, Teresa
Abstract:
In the context of a knowledge-based agenda understanding the dynamics of the collaborative process between universities and industry becomes critical. This paper develops an analytical framework for examining the processes underpinning the collaborative capabilities of University Research Centres (URCs). Drawing on the lens of collaborative communities, this multi-level framework provides a useful basis for understanding in more detail the unique motives, relational dynamics and negotiated orders informing and shaping the formation and sustenance of research collaboration in URCs. Implications for the management of scientific and technical (S&T) human capital are discussed.

Connecting management learning with change experiences: revisiting HR manager education
(2003)
Buckley, Finian; Monks, Kathy
Abstract:
The effectiveness of traditional management education programmes, particularly those emanating from university business schools, has been questioned (e.g. Willmott, 1994: Clarke, 1999). Central to these critiques is the recognition that the pedagogic models underpinning much of contemporary management education are frequently incongruent with the needs of learning managers and the continuous change environment in which they operate. This paper describes the developmental outcomes of 45 HR managers undertaking a specifically designed management education programme premised on an adult learning model (Knowles, 1990) and set in the context of continuous organizational change (Weick and Quinn, 1999). The learning experienced fostered the development of meta-abilities (Pedler, 1994; Butcher, 1997), expanded perspective taking and the evolution of double-loop learning approaches to real life organizational change. Quantitative evidence of these meta-developments are presented and conclusi...

Developing behavioural complexity among global leaders: an international, cross-continental study
(2006)
Conway, Edel; Monks, Kathy; Buckley, Finian; Bagram, Jeff; Barrister, Brendan
Abstract:
Research evidence exists which indicates that the degree to which managers can develop behavioural complexity is linked to more effective leadership and higher firm performance. Behavioural complexity relates to the capacity for managers or leaders to engage in a wide repertoire of behaviours which will enable them to both maintain continuity and lead change. This paper sets out to explore differences in behavioural complexity among managers across different international contexts and across genders. It examines managers’ perceptions of how they relate to people, manage processes, lead change and produce results (i.e. their behavioural complexity). The research forms part of a wider investigation into the impact of management education on individual and organisational outcomes. It draws on a survey of managers from three countries and a variety of organisational settings (N= 286). The findings show that there are differences in behavioural complexity both across genders and across i...

Doctoral competencies and graduate research education: focus and fit with the knowledge economy?
(2009)
Buckley, Finian; Brogan, John; Flynn, Jason; Monks, Kathy; Hogan, Teresa; Alexopoulos, Angelos
Abstract:
The paper considers the evidence on the types of skills and abilities that are needed by doctoral students. In particular, it examines whether doctoral competencies can be differentiated from general undergraduate/postgraduate-level competencies and whether employers value the skills and abilities that doctoral graduates bring to work organisations. Surprisingly, given the cost of fourth level education, there is a dearth of existing work regarding graduate and doctoral students’ experiences (Cryer, 1997). In addition, where lists of doctoral competencies are proposed, there is little evidence of a theoretical or empirical basis for the choice of these competencies, and the lists appear to have emerged through a process of speculation, or the prior experience of students and faculty, rather than through any coherent analysis. Many commentators (Allen, 2002; Park, 2005; Mitchell, 2007) consider that PhD and other doctoral programmes must adapt and become more flexible, as students’ r...

Abstract:
This study examined the influence of Empathie Teaching Climate on Mathematics Learnmg'andMathematics and General School Self-Concepts, in sateen schools in Dublin, Ireland. The study required the design development and validation of the Student-Teacher Interaction Questionnaire (STIQ), which measures specific behavioural indices of classroom Teaching Empathy. The research monitored the effects of Teaching Empathy on students (N=387) in their first year of secondary schooling, as they completed the prescribed mathematics module on Sets and Venn Diagrams. Overall findings indicate positive effects of Teaching Empathy on student cognitive and affective learning outcomes in mathematics Results indicated that Teaching Empathy is composed of two seperate factors. The first of these, the Personal Focus of Teacher factor, is shown to positively influence Mathematics Learning outcomes The second factor, Supportive Teaching Style, recorded a significant positive effect on Mathematics Sel...

Employee needs and expectations in the Irish voluntary sector
(1997)
Basini, Serge; Buckley, Finian
Abstract:
Little research exists on the work needs and expectations of employees in the Irish Voluntary Sector. The paper presents the preliminary findings of the first nation-wide survey of voluntary organisations, focusing on the psycho-social variables underpinning work. The survey employed the Meaning Of Working (MOW)questionnaire, widely used in European work-values research. Results from the 259 respondent voluntary organisations are compared with a private sector population, and indicate significant differences in employee work values, reward expectations and job involvement. The results are discussed and implications for the management and development of the Irish Voluntary Sector are advanced.

Gaining competitive advantage through a quality culture: the role of human resource management
(1996)
Monks, Kathy; Buckley, Finian; Sinnott, Anne
Abstract:
There is a good deal of evidence that, as technological transfer becomes increasingly rapid, the source of competitive advantage for many companies now lies within their workforces (Pfeffer, 1994). However, the issue of how to sustain and promote this type of competitive advantage may be more problematic than one based on keeping up-to-date with changing machinery and techniques. For some companies, investment in people and in the appropriate human resource practices to foster their development and commitment requires a consideration of the ways in which they have usually tackled such matters. For the human resource function this represents the opportunity to become involved in major change initiatives, but it may require a rethinking oftraditional roles. This paper considers the implications for both the human resource function and for human resource practices of the changes wrought within companies involved in the implementation of quality initiatives. Quality has become a key is...

Getting to know you: a longitudinal examination of trust cues and trust development during socialization
(2014)
van der Werff, Lisa; Buckley, Finian
Abstract:
Despite recent theoretical advances, the pattern of trust development between coworkers has yet to receive focused longitudinal attention. Furthermore, current theory suggests that employees attend to an array of independent trust cues in any given situation but fails to identify which cues are important when. In a four wave longitudinal field study we demonstrate how new coworker intentions to engage in trust behaviors (reliance and disclosure) evolve during employee socialization, and examine the trust cues that prime decisions to trust. We present a latent growth model of trust development which reveals, for the first time, that reliance and disclosure intentions in early work relationships develop in a positive, nonlinear pattern over time. Furthermore, the study indicates that propensity to trust has a statistically significant effect on the initial status of intention to rely on and disclose information with coworkers but not on changes in trust behavior over time. The multi w...

Identifying management needs in a time of flux: a new model for human resource manager education
(2005)
Buckley, Finian; Monks, Kathy; McKevitt, Conor
Abstract:
The objective of much of contemporary management education is to transform middle managers from strategy implementers to strategic thinkers who can help guide their organisations through the relatively chaotic environment in which they currently reside. This requires the development of a vast range of skills and abilities to face the conflicting demands of the modern work environment. The current study tracks the development of deep learning and meta-competency development of 58 Human Resource (HR) managers pursuing a part-time postgraduate masters programme. The evidence collated from participant learning review logs (350 pages of written personal reviews) is presented. The shape and level of their learning and developmental experiences are depicted along a developmental continuum model reflecting the evolution of the process. The results indicate the levels of learning/change experienced by participants and how this is reflected in their work practices.

Modelling self-regulated learning strategies in early-stage entrepreneurs: the role of intentionality and interaction.
(2010)
O'Shea, Deirdre; Buckley, Finian
Abstract:
This research investigates entrepreneurs from a psychological perspective, with a focus on the strategies entrepreneurs use to manage or self-regulate their learning, an area which has largely been ignored in past research with regard to entrepreneurs. The sample consisted of 11 nascent entrepreneurs and new business owners who had started ventures in the sectors of business or consumer services in the last two years. Participants were recruited from a variety of sources throughout Ireland, including university incubator centres, entrepreneurial network groups, enterprise boards, and information and support services for entrepreneurs. The entrepreneur’s self-regulated learning strategies were assessed using an in-depth, focused interview. Analysis of the results unravelled the complex network of strategies employed by entrepreneurs to manage their learning and knowledge acquisition in the early stages of a new venture. As such, this research demonstrates that entrepreneurial learnin...

Polychronicity at work: when personal time values clash with organisational expectations
(2003)
Buckley, Finian
Abstract:
The design and structure of many of our traditional organisations and the jobs therein reflect a relatively stable, Newtonian approach to perceiving and understanding our organisational environment. However, the high velocity change which has become a characteristic of contemporary society indicates that the unidimensional, linear and chronological approach to understanding our environment and particularly our work environment is no longer sufficient. The emergent concept of polychronic working values, indicates that individuals may perceive and use time very differently in their work activities. The present study measures the polychronic work values of 117 working managers from a variety of 'rapid change' Irish organisations. The results compare each manager's personal polychronic orientation with their perception of the pervading temporal attributes of their organisations. The congruity and incongruity of manager and organisational polychronicity values are analysed...

Self-regulation in entrepreneurs: integrating action, cognition, motivation and emotions
(2017)
O'Shea, Deirdre; Buckley, Finian; Halbesleben, Jonathon R. B
Abstract:
Psychological processes (e.g. cognition, motivation, emotions) have emerged as key to understanding entrepreneurial actions and success. Currently, we do not know enough about specific entrepreneurial psychological processes and particularly lack knowledge about their cumulative or interactive effects. Self-regulation offers some promise in understanding these issues. However, self-regulation in entrepreneurship has not been fully explored, which limits our understanding. We address this by introducing an integrated model of episodic self-regulation (the A-CEM-A model) to map the reciprocal regulatory effects of action, cognition, emotion, and motivation in entrepreneurship research and isolate a series of propositions stemming from the model. We further explore the resource implications of the A-CEM-A model for entrepreneurs managing several self-regulatory processes simultaneously. The A-CEM-A model offers a novel and unique insight on entrepreneurial action and psychological proc...

The psychological effects of commuting in Dublin
(2004)
Buckley, Finian; O'Regan, Brendan
Abstract:
The study involves an investigation of the problems that commuters in Dublin face everyday, and attempts to shed further light on our understanding of how individual differences (e.g., gender & perceived control) moderate the effects of commuting in terms of the individual's stress and mood outcomes. Four modes of transport were investigated; those who commuted to work by car, bus, train, and walking. The survey sample was 187 worker-commuters employed in a number of banks located in Dublin's IFSC. The study indicates that nearly 80% of respondents reported their daily commute as a stressful experience, those who travelled by train-Dart experienced highest levels of stress and most negative moods on reaching their workplace. They were followed by car and bus commuters with walkers reporting least stress and most positive moods. The level of experienced impedance impacted on levels of stress with commuters who had experienced a high impedance commute recording higher st...

The role of trust in the mentoring experience of trainee lawyers and its influence on intention to stay in Irish law practices
(2007)
Buckley, Finian; Farrell, Colleen
Abstract:
Trust and mentoring are two well researched concepts within the field of management science. However, very few studies have sought to explicitly look at the role of trust in the mentoring relationship. This study seeks to contribute to the linking of the two fields. The mentoring experiences of 289 second year trainee lawyers who were interns in law practices in the Republic of Ireland were surveyed. Their levels of trust in their formally assigned mentor was assessed and their perceptions of the effectiveness of their mentoring experience using Scandura's (1992) three function conceptualisation were measured. The role of trust in the experience of the three functions is highlighted. The research also reveals how trust in mentor and the experienced career development aspect of mentoring, predict trainee intention to stay or leave their organisation. Implications for mentoring programme development and practice are suggested.

Towards an integrative model of creativity and innovation in organizations: a psychological perspective.

O'Shea, Deirdre; Buckley, Finian
Abstract:
Work and organisational psychologists have much to offer the world of business. This article addresses the value that research into creativity, primarily investigated by psychologists, has to the field of innovation, more commonly researched in business, science, and technology arenas. Firstly, the article provides a framework to compare previous research in both areas. Secondly, it highlights clear gaps in prior research, and generates a model, alongside a series of propositions, to guide future investigators. These propositions include suggestions regarding (i) creativity and innovation as concurrent processes engaged in at multiple levels, (ii) the shift in focus from creativity at the individual level, to innovation as one moves through meso and macro levels, (iii) the potential of the organisational level for studying creativity and innovation in tandem, and (iv) the multiple factors that influence the processes of innovation and creativity at all levels.

University research scientists as knowledge workers: contract status and employment opportunities
(2014)
Harney, Brian; Monks, Kathy; Alexopoulos, Angelos; Buckley, Finian; Hogan, Teresa
Abstract:
University research scientists epitomise knowledge workers who are positioned to avail of the employment conditions associated with ‘boundaryless careers’. Yet while employment flexibility has been hailed as a positive feature of knowledge work, relatively little is known about the forms such flexibility may take or its impact. This article considers the factors shaping the employment conditions of 40 research scientists working in five university research centres in Ireland. The findings suggest that, for knowledge workers such as research scientists, contract employment can deny them access to many of the employment conditions and opportunities that govern their long-term success as researchers.
