Nouveaux articles de périodiques

• Breakdowns in implementing models of organization change (Academy of Management Perspectives, v.25, n.3, August 2011, pp.58-74)
  "Practice theories of implementing change are lagging behind process theories of organizational change and development. To address this gap, this paper examines common breakdowns in implementing four process models of organization change: teleology (planned change), life cycle (regulated change), dialectics (conflictive change), and evolution (competitive change)."
  
  
• Corporate governance research in accounting and auditing: insights, practice implications, and future research directions (Auditing, v.30, n.3, August 2011, pp.1-31)
  "Over the past two decades, the corporate governance literature in accounting and auditing has grown rapidly. To better understand this body of work, we discuss 12 recent literature review or meta-analysis papers and summarize selected results (i.e., clusters of papers with new and interesting results) from recent empirical research papers, after reviewing the findings of over 250 studies."
  
  
• Charting clearer pathways into public service (The Public Manager, v.40, n.3, Fall 2011, pp.6-9)
  "Young government leaders and former interns suggest ways managers can recruit, develop, and retain young talent in federal agencies without breaking the budget."
  
  
• The culture myth (Conference Board Review, v.48, n.3, Summer 2011, pp.8-9)
  "The author argues against creating a corporate culture. She likens a corporate culture to a Maya culture which developed slowly and methodically. She notes that employees are not participating in a culture as they have individual beliefs, attitudes and principles."
  
  
• Strategic human resource management and the decline of employee focus (Human Resource Management Review, v.21, n.3, September 2011, pp.209-219)
  "The purpose of this paper is to critique the shift from employee focus to strategy focus in the role of HRM. It is our contention that, contrary to assumptions of unitarism, organizational goals and employee goals remain largely in conflict."
  
  
• Le pouls d'une collaboration en ligne 'Doter un singe d'un scalpel ne fait pas de lui un chirurgien' (Horizons de politiques Canada)
  "L'utilisation du Web 2.0 et des médias sociaux évolue rapidement au sein du gouvernement du Canada. Des expériences récentes, cependant, ont montré qu'un certain nombre d'hypothèses cruciales à propos de ces outils ne sont pas fondées. Par conséquent, de nouvelles idées émergent pour appuyer une meilleure application des processus de collaboration en ligne."
  
  
• Mystery shoppers: A new tool for coaching employee performance improvement
  (Organizational Dynamics, v.40, n.3, July/September, 2011, pp.151-156)
  "Consider the following; a manager and her employee are meeting for a periodic performance review. The manager discusses the performance data she had diligently collected over the past year and presents her conclusions to the employee along with a judgment on whether that employee's performance met her expectations."
  
  
• The care and feeding of high-potential employees (HRMagazine, v.56, n.8, August 2011, pp.34-39)
  "This article discusses the reasons why high-potential employees gradually become dissatisfied with their current employers and eventually decide to leave."
  
  
• Distasteful duties: maintaining order and discipline (The Public Manager, v.40, n.3, Fall 2011, pp.50-54)
  "Addressing subordinates' inappropriate conduct or poor performance is among a leader's most distasteful duties. Special tips for public managers may ease the burden. Public-sector managers have a greater administrative burden than is typical of their private-sector counterparts for two reasons: the public-sector employee's civil service protections and the difficulty in measuring the productivity of white-collar 'intellectual capital' positions."
  
  
• How leaders can close the innovation gap (Ivey Business Journal, v.75, n.4, July/August 2011, pp.7-11)
  "A leader's failure to walk the talk is, arguably, especially conspicuous if that leader fails to make good on his or her talk about innovation. The promise to focus on innovation ends right there, with a promise. The inability or unwillingness to follow through on the promise creates what these authors call an innovation gap."
  
  
• Trust and psychological empowerment in the Russian work context (Human Resource Management Review, v.21, n.3, September 2011, pp.201-208)
  "For Russian organizations to achieve global competitiveness it is suggested that they must adopt the most appropriate forms of leadership and organization to encourage the necessary competencies to achieve these ambitions. In this conceptual paper we illustrate that Russian organizational leaders can stimulate improved organizational effectiveness through their encouragement of psychological empowerment amongst managers."
  
  
• How much do you know? (Conference Board Review, v.48, n.3, Summer 2011, pp.14-21)
  "The author discusses the concept of knowledge-management (KM). He points out that knowing more about knowledge and management is required for companies to manage knowledge."
  
  
• Measuring matching efficiency using the public employment service agency in Japan(Japan Labor Review, v.8, n.3, Summer 2011, pp.78-94)
  "This paper decomposes the probability of a match being formed between a job seeker and a firm into two components. In the first matching process, a job seeker applies for a job and manages to obtain an interview with a firm advertising a job vacancy at the employment service, and in the second process, upon contact, the job seeker and the firm agree to form a match."
  
  
• You make the call: tips for making public decisions (The Public Manager, v.40, n.3, Fall 2011, pp.69-71)
  "Public managers face challenges in decision making not experienced by managers in the private sector. Are there easier ways to make decisions? Remember, not making a decision is a decision in itself. "We'll see," is the parents' mantra. Too often, it is also the refrain of public managers."
  
  
• Employers embracing programs as morale booster, business strategy (HR Focus, v.88, n.9, September 2011, pp.1-4)
  "The article focuses on the flexible work benefit programs offered by U.S. companies for their employees. It mentions that employers consider such programs a morale booster for their workers, which may translate into good business results."
  
  
• Women's underrepresentation in upper management: new insights on a persistent problem (Organizational Dynamics, v.40, n.3, July/September, 2011, pp.151-156)
  In 2008, women comprised 46.5 percent of the U.S. labor force, and occupied nearly 51 percent of all managerial and professional jobs, yet women holding the title of chairman, chief executive officer (CEO), chief operating officer (COO), and executive vice-president (EVP) remained at about seven percent of the population of U.S. executives, according to non-profit research group, Catalyst."
