Generation Z (GenZ) is the young generation born between the
mid-1990s and 2010s. They are now entering the market and starting
their first jobs. Therefore, managers must shape the company
workplace environment to encourage young employees to work
efficiently and connect their future with the company. Only then
both managers and employees will share mutual satisfaction from
collaboration and aim at the common target, which should be the
prosperity of the company. This book presents research results and
techniques for analyzing the working expectations and needs of
GenZ. The analyses were made in various countries in Europe: The
Czech Republic, Latvia, Poland, and Portugal. The book contains
chapters that present the analysis results and technical chapters
that outline modern methods of analysis of management data,
including tutorial chapters on Machine Learning, which currently
make a strong appearance in research in various disciplines. This
volume will be of interest to researchers, academics,
practitioners, and students in the fields of management studies,
research methods, and human resource management.
First published in 2007. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &

Organizations and societies are facing extreme challenges that
require action (IPCC, 2021). The UN's sustainability goals,
demographic change, and the green shift are knocking on the door,
while traditional education, and ways of leading and managing this
development, often fail to keep up. Organizational Change,
Leadership and Ethics challenges leadership orthodoxy, assumptions,
and myths currently preventing the further development of theory
and practice. It encourages intelligent disobedience in support of
greater leadership capabilities and capacity in organisations and
societies. As such, the book is written for everyone who wants to
be MAD - to Make A Difference - students, scholars, and
practitioners alike.
Including volumes originally published between 1910 and 1957, this
set clearly shows the evolution of approaches to and definitions of
conditions such as nervous anxiety, neuroses, hysteria,
delinquency, insanity and mental illness. It provides a compelling
insight into how attitudes have changed to such states during this
century. Other subjects covered include psychotherapy with
children, personality, abnormal psychology, the relationship
between brain and personality and psychotic art.
The volumes in this set take a comparative approach to human and
animal psychology and give a valuable insight into thinking about
similarities and differences between humans and animals prevalent
in the 1920s and 1930s.
This set includes a fascinating range of subjects relating to the
areas of individual psychology, personality and character. An
unusual feature of this set are titles covering the areas of
eugenics and handreading.
This six volume set explores the interface between psychology and
religion, looking at aspects of religion belief and mysticism as
related to the study of human consciousness.
During the 1970s, accelerating change accompanied by dramatic
developments in finance, technology and energy usage had a profound
impact on the processes of urban development throughout the Western
world. Why Cities Change explores the relationship between urban
growth and economic change in Sydney, particularly ini the 1970s.
It concentrates on the major productive sectors of economic
activity and investigates the various roles of government - local,
state and federal. The social consequences of urban change are
considered, and policy options evaluated. Sydney is the focus of
the book as a particularly interesting example of patterns and
problems to be found in most major Western cities. This book was
first published in 1982.
This book begins with an introductory outline of the structure of
the city politics of the United States. There is a study of the
city in the federal system, including the politics of feudal aid.
This is followed by four case studies: the political roles of
mayor, manager, boss and adminstrator-entrepreneur in the city.
Madgwick concludes with some comparative reflections indicating the
significance of this study for British local government. This book
was first published in 1970.
The Clinical Neuroscience of Lateralization gives the first
comprehensive transdiagnostic overview of the evidence for changes
in hemispheric asymmetries in different psychiatric and
neurodevelopmental disorders. Taking a multidisciplinary
perspective informed by both basic science and clinical studies,
the authors integrate recent breakthroughs on hemispheric
asymmetries in psychology, neuroscience, genetics and comparative
research. They give a general introduction to hemispheric
asymmetries and the techniques used to assess them, and review the
evidence for changes in hemispheric asymmetries in different
psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders. The book also
discusses neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease and
multiple sclerosis and highlights the importance of open science in
clinical laterality research. Offering a fresh perspective on a
longstanding issue in clinical neuroscience, this book will be of
great interest for academics, researchers, and students in the
fields of clinical and developmental neuroscience, biopsychology
and neuropsychology.

This book considers how a phenomenon as complex as coercive control
can be criminalised. The recognition and ensuing criminalisation of
coercive control in the UK and Ireland has been the focus of
considerable international attention. It has generated complex
questions about the "best" way to criminalise domestic abuse. This
work reviews recent domestic abuse criminal law reform in the UK
and Ireland. In particular, it defines coercive control and
explains why using traditional criminal law approaches to prosecute
it does not work. Laws passed in England and Wales versus Scotland
represent two different approaches to translating coercive control
into a criminal offence. This volume explains how and why the
jurisdictions have taken different approaches and examines the
advantages and disadvantages of each. As jurisdictions around the
world review what steps need to be taken to improve national
criminal justice responses to domestic abuse, the question of what
works, and why, at the intersection of domestic abuse and the
criminal law has never been more important. As such, the book will
be a vital resource for lawyers, policy-makers and activists with
an interest in domestic abuse law reform.

Jerome Bruner is one of the best-known and most influential
psychologists of the twentieth century. He was one of the key
figures in the so called 'cognitive revolution' that today
dominates psychology around the world - but it is in the field of
education that his influence has been especially felt. Bruner
helped start the educational reform movement in the USA during the
early 1960s and served on the President's Science Advisory
Committee during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. He has
since been involved in a variety of educational enterprises,
including the founding of Head Start, of which he was a major
architect. 'How one conceives of education', he wrote, 'we have
finally come to recognize, is a function of how one conceives of
the culture and its aims, professed and otherwise.' In this two
volume set, Bruner has selected and assembled his most important
writings about education. Each volume begins with a specially
written Introduction, which sets the context and introduces the
selection. These books are the ultimate guide to Jerome Bruner's
most important and influential work - ideal for both students and
academics who want to be able to follow the development of his
thinking over his seventy-year career.

This book explores how different social psychology theories and
concepts can be applied to practice. Considering theories from
attribution theory to coercion theory, social identity theories to
ostracism, the authors offer a greater understanding and
appreciation of the ways in which social psychology can contribute
to forensic practice. The book argues that social psychology is
useful for carrying out assessments (including risk assessments),
formulations, and interventions with clients in forensic settings,
as well as for psychological consultation, training, and the
development of services. These theories are also important when
understanding multi-disciplinary and multi-agency working,
staff-client relationships, and peer-to-peer relationships. Through
illustrative composite case examples, taken from the authors'
experiences in forensic settings, the chapters demonstrate
effective ways to pursue a theoretically informed practice.
Exploring a broad range of theories and a timely topic, Social
Psychology in Forensic Practice will interest a wide readership
including graduate and undergraduate students and researchers in
criminology, sociology, and forensic, social and clinical
psychology. It will also be of practical use to health
professionals and non-health professionals working in forensic
settings as well as policy makers and others commissioning forensic
services.
Provides a logical framework for considering and evaluating
standard setting procedures Covers formal development of a
psychometric theory for standard setting Develops logical argument
for evaluation procedures for standard setting processes Contains
detailed analyses of several standard setting methods Includes
problem sets at the ends of chapters that focus on common problems
with standard setting methods
Videos from the "What Is a Criminal?" lecture series
whatisacriminal.org (the inspiration for the book) will remain
freely available, and will be described in the book. These can be
used by professors as supplemental multimedia content both for
in-class and out-of-class assignments. The Editor has provided an
instructors' introduction that suggests classroom uses for the
individual essays and chapters. Some of the stories are told
scholars, some by people working in the justice system, and some by
people who were formally incarcerated. It is very rare to find
these three groups participating in a common discussion about the
core concept that brings them together. The book's narrative-based,
multi-voiced form will not only help students think broadly and
deeply about this important topic, but also interest them enough to
share the stories with their families and friends, generating ideas
and discussions that ripple well beyond the classroom.
