▼ This project explores the role of international sport and mass media in the processes of
identity formation and the creation of symbolic boundaries between groups. Using qualitative content analysis I document the patterned ways in which media coverage of men’s World Cup soccer characterized national teams, their players, and fans as having a peculiar style of performing or celebrating sport based on national identity. I analyzed how style in this context acted as a form of cultural representation that drew upon the racial and economic history of the nation to conceptualize its imaginary core. In particular, I highlight the way U.S. nationality was constructed via its differentiation from other nationalities as understood through their relationship to soccer and the World Cup. I approach these mediated depictions as part of the social construction or framing of reality that contributes to an understanding of social identity rooted in separate, hierarchically-arranged categories. I supplemented this analysis of media
content through ethnographic observation at two nationally-distinct fieldsites where fans
gathered to watch live broadcasts of the World Cup. In this way, I was able to move beyond some of the limitations inherent to the study of media texts in isolation by specifying how the format (television broadcast) and context (the public space of the sports bar) of media text consumption impacted its reception. Patrons who gathered to watch these broadcasts experienced this act of consumption as a dialogical interplay between the personal act of viewing the televised broadcast and their collective engagement with a temporary community of fellow sport spectators. Analysis showed that while viewers shared a discourse about nationality and ability similar to that outlined in the analysis of media texts, the format of reception, in particular the
public nature of the context, provided opportunities to construct meaning collectively and interactionally unavailable to the private viewer. Thus, I was able to show how media content became bound up in social relations that impacted how patron’s received information provided via the television broadcast.

▼ Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2013.
Teachers make a difference. White female middle-class teachers represent 84 percent of Americas' teachers. How does culture influence the self-reflective problem-solving behaviors of urban teachers? Urban schools fail youth by opening the doors for a mass exodus. The problem solving behavior of urban teachers may contribute to the student exodus through suspensions, expulsions and unchallenged idleness. Fifty-percent of urban youth, mostly black and brown, who enter high school as ninth graders leave without a diploma. They "drop out." Students who drop out of high school have an increased chance of going to prison, while many die on the streets.
The research conducted was a traditional qualitative case study. A non-probability purposive sampling technique was utilized to recruit participants. Nine white middle-class female teachers and one African American female were interviewed about the strategies each used to solve a specific difficult problem situation with one of their black students. During semi-structured taped interviews, teachers were asked several questions about a difficult problem situation with a black student that they had resolved.
The four broad themes generated from the data were, Teachers as Adolescents; Agency, Self-efficacy, and Problem Solving; Relationship and Language; concluding with Teachers' Experiences and Benefits. A surprising finding was that teacher cross-cultural training utilizing Ruby Payne's (2005) controversial approach A framework for understanding poverty, seemed to initially make a positive impact on the teachers' approach to problem-solving.
In the long term, however, such training supported a deficit model for urban students. One important finding was when teachers had personal contact and a loving relationship with people of color outside of the school day; that appeared to have a positive effect on their problem-solving abilities and relationships with students. When teachers' cultural ideas conflicted with students, a positive sign was that some teachers were willing to change their minds and their story. When teachers were able to change their minds, the result was a positive transformation in their relationship with students and the students' relationship with their education, which tended to influence agency and self-efficacy.

▼ Culture is created, shared, transmitted, transformed, and preserved by communication.
For we are at the age of globalization, wherein the power of mass communication is
unprecedented pervasive, the mass media are highly impacting cultures positively and /or
negatively. Consequently, media portrayals of cultural matters deserve special attention.
However, such special attention is not observed being given in the Ethiopian media’s
cultural portrayals as the quality and quantity of such portrayals are said to be
unsatisfactory. As a result, a media and cultural study entitled Media and
Culture: A
Case Study of Ashenda as Portrayed in Tigrigna Television Programs was conducted. It
is a qualitative inquiry into how the mass media are being used for cultural development,
and how they are using culture’s potential for national development. This is made
possible by taking Tigrigna television programs in portraying Ashenda, an annually
celebrated cultural festival, as a case study. To this end data were gathered from
purposively selected documents (texts), individual in-depth interviewees and focus group
discussants; and were analyzed as per to the theories and principles of media,
culture
and communication. Taking place dominantly at Mekelle city and its surrounding
villages, the research has come with the finding that despite the media’s attempts to
cover the cultural festival are encouraging, the way they portray the
culture is deficient
and shallow, thus incapable to preserve and/or to transform the
culture. Plus, the very
conception of culture’s potential for national development at the media level is minimal.

▼ Luxury products represent substantial worldwide sales; major markets of luxury products are no longer limited to Western countries, but have also expanded to Eastern "young generation" markets (Zhan and He, 2012). With a rapidly growing economy and globalisation, Chinese young consumers have become an important target for producers of luxury products. According to Wiedmann, Hennings, and Siebels (2009), consumption motivations are derived from values that are connected to cultural background. Nowadays, because Chinese consumers are more engaged with foreign societies, Western culture also produces significant influence on their preferences, motivation and behaviour (Zhan and He, 2012). Although there is extant research which focuses on comparing cross-cultural influences on luxury consumption motivation of Western consumers and Eastern consumers, literature on luxury purchase motivation is only limited to a single country and scholars have ignored the influence of a foreign culture and acculturation on consumers (Beverland, 2004). This cultural study investigates (a) cultural orientation of Chinese young consumers living in the UK; (b) their current luxury consumption motivation; (c) a relationship between cultural orientation and luxury consumption motivation; and (d) if acculturation moderates the relationship. An online questionnaire was used to collect data. This study chose two groups of Chinese young consumers living in London; group one focuses on consumers who have lived in London for less than one year; and group two concentrates on consumers who have been in London for more than five years. In total 488 valid respondents were collected on an official Facebook group named London Chinese Community. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was adapted in this study; findings provide a deeper insight of the acculturation influence on luxury consumption motivations of Chinese young consumers and provide significant implications for both theory and practice.

▼ The globalised world of business is driven by a complex mix of communication technology, consumerism and social, economic and political change. In pursuit of the latest technologies, processes and systems, managers often tend to neglect their business’s organisational culture. Traditional assets and strategies can easily be copied. A business’s organisational culture is much more difficult to reproduce and can be a competitive differentiator. Businesses which deliberately manage their organisational cultures, outperform similar businesses that do not.
The performance culture in a business depends largely on the effectiveness of managers to establish an attitude of performance among employees. To achieve high performance, managers need different competencies to engage workers’ hearts and minds, as well as take advantage (in a positive way) of their physical labour. Managers who are able to create and sustain a performance culture and react to rapid change in markets and technologies, can maintain exceptional service and product quality levels despite of unpredictable business environments. Some managerial competencies are more conducive and prone to managerial effectiveness and the subsequent enhancement of a business's performance culture.
Only a few businesses worldwide are managed by the notion that a performance culture equates outstanding profits and little research exists pertaining to managerial competencies that allow managers to motivate employees, win their commitment, and ultimately enhance the business’s performance culture.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the role of managers in enhancing performance culture. Knowledge and current perceptions of first-line managers and middle-level managers regarding the business’s performance culture (in terms of the associated business practices and employee characteristics), as well as certain related managerial competencies (such as communication, planning and administration, teamwork and emotional intelligence) were obtained.
With regard to research methodology, the study used descriptive research in the form of quantitative, self-administered questionnaires. Two questionnaires were developed and uploaded on the Survey Monkey website. Subsequently, all first-line managers and middle-level managers (employed at Amalgamated Beverage Industries (ABI), the soft drink division of The South African Breweries (Pty) Ltd) were informed of the survey via an e-mail containing a cover letter as well as the hyperlink to the relevant questionnaires. The target population in this study was obtained by means of a census. Of the 438 respondents identified for the census, 186 viable questionnaires, comprising of 73 middle-level manager and 113 first-line manager respondents, were used for statistical analysis. Data entry, tabulation and statistical analysis were done by the Statistical Consultation Services of the North-West University (Potchefstroom Campus).
The results of this study indicate that organisational culture places considerable pressure on…

▼ When it comes to teaching and interacting with students, having experience and knowledge about different cultures and cultural backgrounds can help teachers navigate through cultural hurdles in their classroom. To seek insight on how teachers’ knowledge of their students’ cultures impacts their teaching and classroom adaptation, this study used surveys, and one-on-one interviews similar to a previous study done by Lindquist (2016). This study had twelve participants, all of which are in or were in an M.A. TESL program and taught as a graduate assistant in the Intensive English Center (IEC), in the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program or helped students with their writing as part of their graduate assistantship (GA). The participants had either previously taken the optional, for-credit ESL and
Culture course, or were currently enrolled, or did not take the course. The participants have various cultural backgrounds, and previous teaching experience. An analysis of the surveys and interviews revealed common themes such as beliefs about
culture and teaching ESL students, pedagogical challenges, and teachers’ beliefs on students adapting to U.S.
culture. Similar to Lindquist’s (2016) study, the participants that had taken the ESL and
Culture course used generalizations less, and were more confident in their teaching strategies. Those that did not take the course used more generalizations, and scored themselves lower on the self-assessment of cultural knowledge.

▼ Professional Doctorate - Doctor of Business Administration (DBA)
The purpose of this research is to explore the effects of organisational safety culture of trust, transformational leadership and voice being antecedents to the safety outcomes of empowerment and commitment. Specifically, this research examines the effects of safety culture and safety performance in an undisclosed water utility corporation in Australia in order to explore the proposition that if an organisation encourages trust, leadership and voice in the context of safety culture, the organisation will benefit in meeting safety performance objectives and targets. Linear regression modelling was conducted on data sourced from a survey questionnaire. The test results indicated that there was a positive relationship between the antecedents of trust, transformational leadership and voice (i.e. representing organisational safety culture) and a commitment to achieving safety performance outcomes. The results also indicated a limited relationship between the antecedents and empowerment to achieving safety performance outcomes. Based on the outcome of this study, the researcher has presented a number of future research opportunities that would benefit in a greater understanding of the relationship between organisational safety culture and workplace safety performance within the Australian Water Industry.

Le processus de l'innovation technique : l'articulation du rôle des acteurs et de la culture.

▼ Les préoccupations qui entourent l'utilisation de la technique ne sont pas nouvelles. Par contre, le grand essor des NTIC (les nouvelles technologies d'information et de communication) a relancé de nouveau ce débat, qui s'oriente davantage vers la proposition de nouvelles manières de penser la technique. Alors que les tenants des théories standards passent sous silence le lien entre la technique et le social, les auteurs des approches sociotechniques insistent sur la double construction de la technique dans le cadre d'interactions continues avec le social. Au sein des organisations, cette distinction se manifeste à travers la manière dont l'innovation technique est appréhendée. Les organisations ayant une vision déterministe supposent une nette séparation entre le social et la technique et s'intéressent soit aux conditions de l'innovation technique soit à sa diffusion. Par contre, dans les organisations qui adoptent une vision sociotechnique, la technique est perçue comme un construit social appréhendé à travers une analyse profonde saisissant les liens qui se tissent entre une technique en conception et l'ensemble des interactions sociales qu'elle suscite. La culture est un point central qui influe sur l'innovation. Elle peut constituer soit une barrière, soit un facteur mobilisateur à cette innovation. Dans les théories sociotechniques, la notion de la culture n'est pas présente, elle cède toute la place à la notion du social. La culture est nuancée dans les théories évolutionnistes de l'innovation, qui situent cette dernière dans une organisation ou une entreprise possédant ses routines et sa propre histoire qui influencent grandement le processus de l'innovation et sa trajectoire. Ainsi, il ressort que dans les travaux sur l'innovation, le rôle des acteurs et la culture ne sont pas traités pareillement. En général, une variable l'emporte sur l'autre, influence l'autre sans subir ses influences et prend le dessus. Notre recherche permet d'articuler conjointement le rôle des acteurs et de la culture dans la dynamique de l'innovation technique. Ainsi, à partir d'une étude dans trois secteurs, nous allons mettre en évidence le rôle des acteurs en nous fondant sur une synthèse des différentes théories sociotechniques tout en ressortant les influences de la culture sur ce processus. Notre recherche a été menée dans trois secteurs d'activité : public, privé et économie sociale, et avec deux types d'organisations dans chaque secteur d'activité (organisations à faible potentiel technologique et à fort potentiel technologique). L'objectif est de fournir une compréhension aussi complète que variée de l'innovation technique en misant sur un pluralisme d'approche. Cette compréhension s'appuie sur l'articulation de la culture et du rôle des acteurs comme des variables à part entière qui cohabitent et s'influencent mutuellement au sein de l'organisation.

▼ The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore how institutional
culture impacts student civic engagement through the perceptions, interpretations, and experiences of students. Utilizing a constructivist design, this combination interview and document (photo) analysis study examined a group of students who were civically engaged at one large, public research-extensive institution. Themes emerged from two separate sets of individual and photo-elicitation interviews that contribute to the emerging body of literature on institutional
culture and student civic engagement. The positive impact of institutional
culture on student civic engagement was three-fold. Students described how South East University (SEU) helped build upon their pre-college civic foundation by expanding their civic experiences through various opportunities, by expanding their understanding of what civic engagement means, and by expanding their sense of effectiveness and practice of civic engagement. Students expressed how the university was their primary community for civic engagement, which has implications for educators, as well as added weight and depth to the institutional messages students perceived about civic engagement. Students perceived positive, negative, and mixed messages about civic engagement from their institution. The presence of civic engagement through on-campus venues and having supportive relationships with other members of the institution were messages of institutional support for civic engagement. The negative messages were described as different forms of institutional neglect: neglect of student voice and inclusion; neglect of sufficient support; neglect of diversity integration; and the neglect of student friendly systems for civic involvement. Students shared that the strong emphasis on sports, the pursuit of institutional prestige, and the presence of excess and student consumption were mixed messages about the importance of civic engagement. The other mixed message represented the lack of visibility for civic engagement on-campus based upon a lack of promotion and emphasis. Finally, the integration of service and civic learning within the curricular and co-curricular systems and institutional engagement among all members of the institution highlighted how students envisioned a campus
culture focused on civic engagement. Research questions focused on impact, messages, and student voice, providing rich recommendations for centralizing, visualizing, and mobilizing a campus
culture of student civic engagement.

▼ This study examines how young Korean-American children interpret and share different cultural knowledge and practices with peers, how their shared understanding contributes to their peer
culture, and how these children’s peer
culture shapes and is shaped by local and larger cultural values and practices. Using ethnographic methods, data were derived from the participant observation of eleven children; field notes; video-and audio-recordings; interviews with their caregivers, teachers, school staff members; and the collection of artifacts over a research period of one academic year at a Korean heritage language school located in a metropolitan area in the southeastern United States. Drawing on multidisciplinary frameworks that include cultural psychology, a language socialization approach, and an interpretive reproduction approach, this study focused on understanding young Korean-American children’s shared meanings, norms, and practices in their peer
culture. Specific findings were drawn from an inductive analysis based on grounded theory.
Findings suggest that Korean-American children actively negotiate their shared meaning and reflect larger cultural values and beliefs within their peer
culture. Through peer interactions, the most critical tool for socialization, these children negotiated with their peers the social and cultural knowledge they acquired from the adult world. This study not only sheds light on the peer
culture of young Korean-American children but also provides important implications for early childhood education and teacher education. This study calls for further research on other rarely studied minority groups.

▼ This dissertation argues for the potential of an
American politics built on identities, cultures, and faith. Works
by two Caribbean authors, Alejo Carpentier (1904-1980) and Zora
Neale Hurston (1891-1960), provide central connections throughout
these considerations while demonstrating how disparate people
consider themselves American without losing their differences.
Chapter one examines faith as enunciated in Carpentier’s
explanation of American Marvelous Realism and as practiced in
Hurston’s novels. According to these works, credence in America
comes not from governmental attempts at continental unity, which
too often leads to domination, but instead arises out of cultural
endeavors that transcend political boundaries. Music in the second
chapter exemplifies American cultural practice by boldly going
where politicians fear to tread, resonating throughout the
continent with sounds that typify specific regions while remaining
strongly connected to one another. A backbeat, for example, that
reveals musical connections between swing and vallenato does not
negate the individuality of, respectively, Kansas City or
Baranquilla. The third chapter considers Gayatri Chakravorty
Spivak’s employment of Area Studies competencies in studies of
Comparative Literature. In this case, specific applications of
biology and music history apply to cultural studies of the
Americas. Recent studies in genetics that trace similarities in all
humans also reveal America as a site of greatest biological
differentiation. Following ideas put forth by Spivak, Homi Bhabha,
and Néstor García Canclini, this deconstructive approach to
cultural studies concludes in the fourth chapter with an American
politics that does not merely reverse established patterns of
domination but instead emulates American cultural practices with
the potential to make hegemonic readings irrelevant.

▼ D.Ed. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2014.
The consolidation and merger of schools has been occurring at an alarming rate across the U.S. Public and private schools are confronted with yearly budget shortfalls, reductions in student enrollment, threats of closure due to enrollment or poor academic performance, tuition increases in private schools to offset operational costs. For some schools, the only option to survive in the educational market is consolidation with another school.
The autoethnography looks at the the merger of two Hawaiʻi independent schools and the identity crisis encountered by both schools from 2004-2014, the impact and challenges of the merger on the school community, and the ways in which the school's identity is evolving. Assuming a school's identity is shaped by many factors – its historical and cultural context, its sense of place, the community's values, and the individuals who comprise the community, the study analyzes two schools' unique experience of survival, merger, assimilation, adaptation, and transformation. The questions framing this study are: What happens when two schools merge? How is school identity affected?; In the merger of schools, how is school identity negotiated? ; Of what consequence is institutional identity?
Through semi-structured interviews with participants representing school constituencies from the acquired and acquiring schools, data was analyzed for broad categories or themes based on their retrospective accounts. The autoethenographer, a key participant in the merger process and ten-year period following the merger, also provides an insiderʻs perspective that lends credibility and authenticity to the autoethnography.
Among the key findings are the critical importance of the articulation of the school's assumptions, beliefs, and values about learning and teaching in creating school culture; the impact of authentic leadership; an understanding that organizational change must be systemic, sustained over time, and supported through a commitment of school resources; a recognition of the importance of sustained professional development led by teachers across all grade levels; and the acknowledgement that the impact of the loss of school identity cannot be overestimated.

▼ motive magazine (1941-1972) was the official magazine of the Methodist Student Movement and, for several of its final years, for the University Christian Movement as well. Controversial from the beginning, motive stood apart from contemporary campus ministry publications with its featuring of avant-garde art, leftist political and social commentary, and engagement with radical theology. The narrative that has accompanied motive’s legacy tells of a progressive and prophetic publication that succumbed to the censure of an oppressive denominational governing board. This thesis, however, will argue that identity politics, organizational instability, and financial troubles were largely responsible for the magazine’s demise. This work will contend that by jettisoning faith as its distinguishing factor, motive ceded its unique status as one of the last bastions of faith-based, grassroots liberal activism and social commentary, and will suggest that this space would come to be filled by the evangelical left directly following the magazine’s undoing.

▼ Interpreting and understanding organizational
culture is an important activity for managers, researchers and
consultants because it affects strategic development, productivity
and learning at all levels. Cultural assumptions can both enable
and constrain what organizations are able to do. Understanding how
committed employees are within an organization is a valuable tool
for managing and fostering a successful work environment. A
continued appreciation of employee commitment is especially
beneficial following organizational change as it has been shown
that change inevitably impacts commitment levels to some degree.
Viewing this, this study aims in analyzing organisational culture
and commitment of IT professionals of Indian and foreign managed IT
firms in Chennai. This study was focussed to identify
organisational culture and commitment dimensions which influenced
the IT professionals. It was also aimed to investigate the effect
of organizational culture dimensions on organizational commitment
dimensions. Among the different IT hubs in Tamil Nadu, Chennai city
has been selected for the present study. The lists of IT firms are
classified into Indian managed and Foreign managed IT firms. The
foreign managed IT firms namely IBM, CTS, Accenture, Oracle, HP,
and Polaris and the Indian managed IT firms namely Infosys, HCL,
Wipro, TCS, Satyam and Saskan are randomly selected. 200 employees
from Indian managed IT firms and 200 from foreign managed IT firms,
thus totally 400 employees are selected for the present study by
adopting convenient sampling technique.

▼ Abstract
This article reports the relationship between authenticity,
culture and how they affect the psychological perception of self. Authenticity is the sense of being true to oneself; it is referring to something real, pure and origin. Previous researches have demonstrated a significant association between authenticity and other psychological aspects, however, cross
culture variable was seldom take into account. In the current study, 436 respondents (Mean age = 28.3, SD = 9.1) from different countries completed a survey which include number of scales to measure participants’ individual different and the sense of authenticity. After completing the scales, participants would be asked to write a narrative which they feel to be either authentic or inauthentic (plus a control condition). In followed, different scales were adapted to examined participants’ particular feelings about the events they described. Across our findings, authenticity was significantly different between cultures. Authenticity was associated with numbers of psychological perception of self which in line with previous research. The results also indicate few psychological aspects were significant different between cultures. However, we have not found a significant relationship of authenticity and the perception of self in regards to
culture.

▼ Accounting is said to be a product of its environment, with
culture being one of the powerful factors shaping the accounting system within each context. An accounting system is therefore a reflection of the society in which it is being practised. In addition, given the differences in the social, political, economic, and cultural characteristics that exist amongst different countries of the world, an accounting system that is effective in one country may not necessarily be so in another. This study explores the application of a western style budgeting process in a non-western society. It uses the Anglican Church of Melanesia (CoM), a non-profit organisation in a developing country, Solomon Islands, as the case study. Its primary objective is to theorise on the process concepts explaining the influence of
culture on the budgeting process, with specific reference to the impact of Solomon Islands
culture on the western system adopted by the CoM. The research adopts the interpretivist approach and employs stakeholder theory and grounded theory frameworks as the theoretical insights for data collection, analysis and theory formation. The significant results of the study include confirmation of suggestions by some previous research that
culture does shape the accounting and budgeting systems practised in different environments. The nature of such influence depends on the degree of compatibility between the interacting cultures. This study discovers that the CoM’s budgeting process reflects attributes of both the western and Solomon Islands cultures. The adopted western budgeting system interacts and is being filtered and moulded by the local social-cultural and organisational environment. The impact of the various cultural attributes is explained in terms of whether these are more or less shared by the western and local societies. The more shared or common features when applied harmoniously within the appropriate budgeting functions tend to reinforce one another to produce anticipated outcomes. For instance, both cultures stress the importance of achievements as a basis for assigning powers. Hence within the organisation, it is expected that power and responsibilities be delegated based on qualifications and expertise. Anything to the contrary is considered an unanticipated result. The less shared attributes are unique to the local society and hence generally dissimilar from the norms and values of western societies. When these less shared or even conflicting values and norms are integrated within the same budgeting roles, unexpected or even dysfunctional consequences may ensue. For instance, the emphasis on monetary and economic values in a predominantly semi-subsistence society results in many church followers being excluded from its budget process. It also creates a dependency and materialistic mentality in a society where sharing and modesty are important norms. The study recognises that significant potential exists for appropriate integration of both western and local cultural attributes within the local budgeting…

Settlement and Space in Northwest Iberia: Transition in the

▼ This dissertation focuses on the Roman conquest of the
remote region of northwest Iberia during the end of the first
millennium B.C. and its effects on the native Castros
Culture. This
Iberian Iron Age
culture developed throughout the first millennium
B.C., and is mostly designated by a settlement model known as the
castro – a fortified, hilltop site consisting of large defensive
systems and a network of roundhouses. The cultural apex of the
Castros societies occurred from the 2nd century B.C.-1st century
A.D., an era which is signified by advances in art, technology, and
the rise of complex societies. These centuries also coincided with
increased Roman presence and influence in northwest Iberia. This
dissertation examines the evolution of the castro settlement system
and the modification of traditional Iron Age urban spatial models.
In northwest Iberia, the end of the first millennium B.C. was
characterized by the growth of proto-urban settlements in which the
local communities began adopting more Mediterranean concepts of
spatial organization. During the Augustan age the first true urban
centers in northwest Iberia were founded. These were a key
component to the Roman administration of the region. The Romans
established three strategic cities – Asturica Augusta, Lucus
Augusti, and Bracara Augusta – which became the centers from which
Roman
culture gradually spread to the Castros communities. These
foundations were the first steps in the process of Roman
urbanization that continued throughout the 1st century A.D. in
northwest Iberia. This era marks a transition in the built
environment of the native landscape, where the traditional spatial
concepts of the castro and the roundhouse were eventually replaced
by the Roman town and the Mediterranean atrium house. This work
takes into account evidence from previous Iberian studies as well
as offering new data from recent archaeological investigations to
create a better understanding of this pivotal moment in the history
of northwest Iberia.

▼ One of the early powers in the development of global
trade, the Dutch in the 16th and 17th centuries carried trade goods
from Africa, South America, the Caribbean, China, Russia, and many
European polities on their ships. Distinct from the imperially
driven motives of the English, Spanish, and Portuguese, Dutch
colonial expansion and trade was the provenance of individual
merchants and private companies, such as the Dutch East and West
India Companies, and were only provisionally governed by the States
General. As a result of the economic motives of these companies,
the Dutch colonies were radically different from the settler
colonies of their contemporaries. As places where commerce trumped
concerns for self-sufficiency and religious conversion, Dutch
colonies have long been recognized as some of the most diverse in
the colonial era. I study the material
culture of the Dutch West
India Company colonies of New Netherland and Caribbean St.
Eustatius, in conjunction with that of the Dutch Republic to
explore how these communities built upon a wide range of ethnic and
cultural influences to form a globally conscious Dutch identity
that was both widely shared and distinctly local during the Dutch
Golden Age. This dissertation contributes to the scholarship on
identity formation, colonialism, cosmopolitanism, and globalism,
merging dialogues occurring in historical archaeology, Caribbean
archaeology, and post medieval archaeology to present a more
comprehensive view of the 17th century Dutch experience and
identity and further archaeological engagement with the question of
colonial identity among the colonizers. Building on recent trends
in the archaeological study of identity (e.g. Voss 2008), this
research forwards the dialogue around colonial identities by also
looking at what constitutes a European identity in the 17th
century. A focus on the WIC colonies offers a strong point of
comparison with other colonial enterprises while also opening a
window onto one of the first truly global trading companies.
Analysis of these 17th century examples offers a diachronic
comparison for modern communities.

▼ M.Comm.
The concept of an organisation culture has emerged in the last decade due to theorist recognizing that organisations are more than mechanistic, rational goal driven systems with formal structures. Beyond formal structures are the hidden social frameworks people take for granted (Schultz, 1995: 5). Within these frameworks lies the unconscious life of an organisation, where beliefs, values and meanings are created, develop and influence the more visible life of the organisation.

▼ M.A.
Punk was not only a music and fashion phenomenon of the 1970s, but the embodiment of non-conformity, discontent and a do-it-yourself culture that has continued to inspire the alternative youth of successive generations. One new cohort are the post-apartheid punks that provided the focus of this minor dissertation. The following three methods were used to collect qualitative data on South African punks: a qualitative content analysis, observations and semi-structured interviews. A search for the best conceptual tools with which to analyse this information found that previous usage of the concepts ‘subculture’ and ‘scene’ were useful, but inadequate. ‘Identity’ on the other hand, was capable of highlighting and examining the complexities of the punk phenomenon. The history of punk demonstrated that cross-cutting experiences, specific contexts, sub-categorisation and political motivations also contribute to the multiple meanings of punk. Similar influences were found at play in the South African case, but with a few crucial differences. Sub-categorisation was discussed in connection to a general and significant shift from old school to new school punk. The new school outlook is far more fun than the aggressive old school punk attitude of the 1970s. This change in punk culture provides an explanation for why it is that even politically aware punks, rarely make activism a priority. It may also explain why this small, optimistic, good humoured and creative ‘punk family’ do not express the fear and uncertainty normally found in punk collectives. The proudly South African context has also unexpectedly fostered the confidence of these mostly white, male and middle class punks.

The Projector Rests on a Pile of Books: Void and Medium in

▼ This dissertation addresses a conceptual form of
negativity in the literature, film, and criticism of the United
States during the period just following World War II. Finding in
postwar U.S. media and
culture a preoccupation with void, or what
Melville called a “dumb blankness full of meaning,” it locates such
formal and thematic motifs of blackness, blankness, refusal,
exclusion, and death as fill the novels and films of the period.
And it concludes that aesthetic of social and political negativity,
when it has exploited the divide between film and literature, has
long been an interruption in the rhetorical formation known as
“Cold War consensus.” Chapters focus upon political modernists of
the U.S. at mid-century, including Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison,
Paul Goodman, Orson Welles, Douglas Sirk, Jonas Mekas, and the
actor Sterling Hayden, as well as the cultural formalists who
founded the Melville revival and the discipline of cinema studies.
These figures bear upon the past by continually shifting our
reading of the cultural objects that preceded them and that
underpin national identity. They also bear upon the present by
providing critical and artistic tools for a continued critique of
the totalizing determinisms exerted by “mass media” in an
“information society.” By historicizing the void in the work of
these figures, and by finding there the ways to re-theorize a
conceptual language of “medium,” this dissertation moves toward a
theory of reading: an ironic relation to material negativity and
rhetorical openness through which film and literature can, without
expectations, offer up the possibilities of collective
identification and societal transformation.

▼ Customer satisfaction is the evaluation of the perceived discrepancy between prior
expectations and the actual performance of the product or services of particular
organization. It becomes an increasingly important factor for organizational survival in
the current dynamic environment. It is highly sensitive to different environmental and
organizational factors. This study seeks to examine the impact of organizational
culture
on customer satisfaction in the public health sector of Kersa Malima Woreda. Three
health centers have been randomly selected among five existing health centers for the
purpose of this study. The primary data was collected from customers and employees of
the selected health centers through the distributions of semi-structured questionnaire as
data gathering tools for sample population of the selected health centers. Non-participant
observation was also employed as data gathering tool to supplement questionnaire. Both
questionnaire and observation targeted around the service quality and organizational
culture dimensions. The total sample size was 151 out of which 136 questionnaires were
completed and included in the analysis part. The responses of respondents were analyzed
using descriptive statistics and narrated. SPSS software was used in analyzing the
collected data. The results of analysis showed mixed responses. The correlation
coefficients show that all independent variable were found to be positively correlated
with customer satisfaction though there is a discrepancy in their strength. Moreover,
multiple regression analysis was used to determine the impact of all independent
variables on dependent variable, customer satisfaction. And accordingly, customer
satisfaction is found to be primarily predicted by higher level of reliability, tangibility,
team orientation, responsiveness, customer orientation and stability of organization.
Mean while, the employee satisfaction is mostly predicted by higher level of stability, out
come orientation and innovation and risk taking. Generally, it was found that when 67 %
of observed variability in customer satisfaction can be explained by independent
variables included in the study, 58 % of observed variability in employee satisfaction is
found to be explained by change in independent variables included in the study
organization.

Alternative Media Political Messages in Addis Ababa (2005-2010): Content Analysis

▼ Complete understanding of political communication entail looking at the context in which it is
functioning. Considering contextual factors like
culture, politics, economy, technology and
history are very important to have a proper analysis. In countries like Ethiopia, cultural and
historical factors have made alternative media consumption for political communication
superior. This peculiar characteristic also comes out of the dominance of the oral tradition and
the relative weakness of formal media institutions. Therefore, scholars suggest looking at the
alternative media spheres to have a complete picture and understanding of the political
atmosphere.
In view of that, this research has attempted to analyze the contents of alternative media political
messages that have been communicated in Addis Ababa from 2005 to 2010, which address local
political issues. To deal with this, the study employed qualitative content analysis research
techniques. The data were collected through interviews and participant observations from
different public areas. The collected messages were examined and categorized based on the
themes, nature, forms, sources and the network and channels they employed to communicate in
detail following narrative analysis method.
According to the findings of the study, election and governance are widely discussed political
agendas in the alternative media sphere of Addis Ababa since 2005. Human rights, mainstream
media and political parties are also among the important concerns of the public in the arena.
Most stories discussed the failure in the current political system primarily. In messages which
address elections, criticized the 2005 and 2010 elections as undemocratic. In addition, support
and opposition for political parties are among the overriding pre and post election messages.
The absence of good governance is the point of most governance stories. Regarding political
parties, opposition and support for parties’ political agendas and their leaders are in focus. The
human rights stories pose violation against human life and lack of freedom of expression as a
major failure in the political system. Similarly, the mainstream media, ETV, is criticized for its
failure to serve the public and pursue truth on the political issues.
These stories disseminated information, critiques, commentaries, and politically challenging and
mobilizing messages within ‘secret’ and established networks mostly with anonymous sources.
Thus, the sources of most messages are not commonly locatable. On the other hand, the channels
utilized vary from traditional words-of-mouth communication to new technologies like mobile
phone. They appear in narratives as humorous tales, folk poems and popular songs incorporated
Menezuma (Zakir), praise and curse verses (mirikatina ergeman), verses in graffiti and couplets.
Generally, the media’s discussions are about perceived and/or real failures of the current
political system. Thus it can inform about the panorama of what has gone wrong in the city's

▼ Organizations prepare strategies which in most cases are never implemented for various
reasons. Translating strategic thought into organization action is the most difficult phase
of strategic management and without successful implementation of strategies the
organization will not achieve its objectives. The main purpose of this study was to
establish the influence of organizational culture at the University of Nairobi. The study
was modelled for a case study design which is a qualitative analysis involving a careful
and complete observation of data. The case study allowed an investigation to retain the
holistic and meaningful characteristics of real life events. The study used both primary
and secondary data where primary data was collected by use of face to face interview
between the researcher and the respondents. On the other hand, secondary data was
obtained from University of Nairobi documents such as the strategic plan, service charter,
performance contracts, ISO certification documents annual reports and annual
performance evaluations. The data was qualitatively analysed using content analysis
techniques in order to give in-depth findings of the study. The information was evaluated
and analysed to determine its usefulness, credibility, consistency and adequacy. In coding
qualitative data the researcher read all the responses, identified key information and
related it to emerging patterns. The outcome was then compared in order to get more
revelation on challenges of strategy implementation at the University of Nairobi. The
findings provided an insight on how organizational culture is inculcated by the university
and how it affects implementation of strategy. The study found that culture at the
university is inculcated from recruitment of staff to deployment; it is also observed in the
way tasks are carried out, the systems developed to support tasks. Some of the challenges
of implementing culture at the University of Nairobi in its strategy implementation
include; resistance to change, existing policies and procedures and the external
environment. It was established that the University of Nairobi has a five years strategic
plan (2008-2013), which laid down four main goals and sets four objectives to be
achieved within the planed period. They include; providing facility for university
education, participating in the discovery, transmission and preservation of knowledge,
conducting examinations and granting academic awards. It was further established that
the University of Nairobi adopts a formal strategic planning process which involves
members of the management team with other members of staff being represented by
respective trade unions. The study further found out that the formality adopted by the
university in its strategic planning resulted into a strategic document (strategic plan),
whose time horizon is five years. Various methods were found to be used by the
university in inculcating culture. They include, change management, carrying out training
for staff, improving…

▼ This study examines how the cultural factor of attitudinal familism in the Latino community might be used in print messages to increase intention to screen for colorectal cancer. To understand how this trait might enhance these messages, a sample of Latinos (n=93) ages 49-86 was randomly assigned to either a family-focused print intervention or standard translated print information. The results did not show an increased intention to screen in the intervention group over the control group. A test for mediation found no relationship between the psychological variable of negative screening emotions and attitudinal familism. And there was no increased intention to screen among those who had higher attitudinal familism over those who had lower attitudinal familism. Factors such as the preference for Spanish Language and having insurance shed light on the importance of including
culture in such health communication information about the disease. High reliabilities of measurement scales may have use for future research. The overall increase in the intention to screen suggests that a cultural factor such as familism should be considered in the design of cancer screening messages.

▼ This organizational leadership project investigated how the employees at Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) may enhance their collaboration across departments, in particular, when managing key data systems. An action research methodology, with an appreciative stance, reflected on how NAIT can leverage its value of collaboration when facilitating projects that impact multiple stakeholders. A learning circle and four individual interviews provided the space for NAIT staff members to share their success stories about collaboration and also how their personal values align with NAIT's values. The recommendations demonstrated the desire for the fulfilment of individual growth and nurturing of passion through empowerment. Leadership training and mentorship were identified as crucial elements for supporting individuals in fostering their collaborative capacity.

▼ The study of personality and
culture has a long and
distinguished tradition in psychology and anthropology. Recently,
research on personality and
culture has focused almost exclusively
on profiling people from different cultures on personality trait
measures. In this dissertation, I first consider two problems that
may confound the results from the recent work: the reference group
effect (Heine, Lehman, Peng, & Greenholtz, 2002), and lay
theories of personality traits in different cultures. To address
these two problems, at the theoretical level, I propose an
alternative perspective that integrates the social cognitive
approach to personality (Mischel & Shoda, 1995, 1998) and the
dynamic constructivist approach to
culture (Hong, Morris, Chiu,
& Benet-Martínez, 2000). Essentially, this new perspective
argues that personality and
culture can be meaningfully
conceptualized and operationalized in terms of distinctive patterns
of if (situation) then (behavior) contingencies and explanations
for the contingencies. At the empirical level, it is shown that
while personality profiles based solely upon personality trait
measures suggested that Americans are equally extraverted, less
agreeable, more conscientious, equally emotionally stable, and more
open to new experiences than Chinese, the profiles based upon the
new perspective of situations, behaviors, and explanations
suggested that Americans are more extraverted, slightly more
agreeable, more conscientious, emotionally more stable, and equally
open to new experiences than Chinese. Advantages and implications
of this new perspective and a number of opportunities it opens for
personality and
culture research in the future are
discussed.

▼ The purpose of this study was to analyze the cultural considerations and influences when teaching the radKIDS curriculum to diverse kindergarten students with the aim of increasing knowledge of safety and empowerment about bullying and abuse. The study used a case study methodology to explore the experiences of four teacher participants involved with the program, eight parent stakeholders affiliated with the program, and one hundred students participating in the program. The motivation for this study came from the lack of research available exploring child-focused programs developed for culturally diverse children. Participants in the study felt that the radKIDS program was appropriate for teaching diverse students safety concepts, however, cultural considerations should also be implemented into the curriculum of the program. These interventions included teaching the difference between corporal punishment and abuse, and having a bilingual co-facilitator, if needed, for students with intensive English language barriers.
