{"title":"The Importance of Work in an Age of Uncertainty: The Eroding Work Experience in America","authors":"Cory J. Wicker","doi":"10.1002/nha3.20330","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/nha3.20330","url":null,"abstract":"OVERVIEW The Importance of Work in an Age of Uncertainty: The Eroding Work Experience in America presents insights from Americans who share their experiences related to critical issues concerning work alongside relevant literature describing the psychological impact of work. The author argues for a need to infuse psychological perspectives while including workers’ voices into research concerning labor and work issues. These voices are from those on the front lines of rapid workforce changes. Furthermore, he argues that, holistically, Americans will see no advancement toward a “just and dignified approach to working” without including those workers who are most affected (p. 193). The purpose of the text is to extend readers beyond an economic view of numbers and data in articulating work and labor issues through rich narratives from people about their work experiences. The author points to decades of missed opportunities in research that have failed to capture working Americans’ voices; sadly, he explains, economics has been the defining force informing public policies concerning work and how society understands it. This point and the central thesis that all workers deserve dignified and accessible employment serve as motivating forces behind this piece. Blustein leverages interview data and his experience as a therapist, career counselor, professor, and researcher in psychology and workforce development to inform the writing and convey Americans’ psychological experiences concerning work. The book consists of a preface, nine chapters, notes, and an index. Each chapter begins with an introduction composed of historical or personal frames of reference for the material. Interview vignettes and emerging themes follow this section. The final part of each chapter introduces more recent psychological and sociological research, which aids further insight into work during periods of uncertainty, such as recessions and job eliminations due to technological advances.","PeriodicalId":43405,"journal":{"name":"New Horizons in Adult Education and Human Resource Development","volume":"51 1","pages":"70 - 72"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77308809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Case for Work from Home","authors":"Debaro Huyler","doi":"10.1002/nha3.20345","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/nha3.20345","url":null,"abstract":"The 2019 COVID-19 pandemic forced half of the U.S. workforce to work-from-home (WFH) (Brynjolfsson et al., 2020). The mass adoption of WFH was largely attributed as an action to contain the pandemic. However, economists at the National Bureau of Economic Research estimate that over 37% of jobs in the U.S. can be performed fully from home (Dingel & Neiman, 2020). Yet, according to a PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) opinion poll conducted in early 2021, few executives believed their organization’s culture could support a WFH future. JP Morgan Chase’s CEO, Jamie Dimon, says WFH does not work for younger generations or high-performing employees (Son & Giel, 2021). As a result, the CEO of the United States’ largest bank announced plans to resume in-office work by the fourth quarter of 2021. In the following essay, I examine the nuance in WFH and discuss why Mr. Dimon and other like-minded executives may need to reconsider their positions. Ryan Roslansky, CEO of Linkedin, a professional networking website, was asked what his company learned from data collected on its 800 million global members. According to Roslansky, the nature of work is shifting (Simons, 2021). Organizations and CEOs are realizing the importance of rethinking their organization, “their values, and what it means to work at their company” (Simons, 2021, para. 2). Economic data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics suggests that Mr. Roslansky may be on to something. The great resignation, a phenomenon in which a greater proportion of Americans are abandoning their employment more than ever before to pursue new possibilities, is becoming a reality (Carter, 2021). The rate of individuals leaving their jobs is continually increasing (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2021). In the aftermath of the pandemic, a robust WFH program could provide organizations with a competitive advantage in recruitment and retention. Glassdoor.com, a renowned job search website, saw a 360% increase in employment searches for WFH opportunities between June 2019 and June 2021 (Zhang, 2021). Meanwhile, the online job boards Indeed and ZipRecruiter reported higher demand for WFH positions in the current market (Kelly, 2021). According to a ZipRecruiter survey of over 2500 job seekers, 60% of respondents favored WFH positions (Pollak, 2021). The Boston Consulting Group discovered that the pandemic altered people’s expectations for work. Their study, involving over 209,000 participants from 190 nations, showed as many as 89% of those polled expressed an interest in WFH (Strack et al., 2021). Synchronously, the COVID-19 pandemic and stay-at-home directives led many to reconsider their career paths. People have a newfound willingness to take risks and switch careers or jobs for a better quality of life (Lipman, 2021). Organizations that rethink work and adopt WFH models may slow the great resignation and gain a significant recruitment tool. Aside from recruiting and retention, research on WFH suggests that organization","PeriodicalId":43405,"journal":{"name":"New Horizons in Adult Education and Human Resource Development","volume":"39 1","pages":"1 - 3"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75997442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Greer","doi":"10.1002/nha3.20329","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/nha3.20329","url":null,"abstract":"This study aimed to identify behaviors that contribute to adaptive performance (AP) among human resource development (HRD) practitioners. We used self–reported incidents of successes and failures on the job. Using a four–stage data analysis strategy, we analyzed qualitative data from 67 respondents and identified four behaviors that contributed to AP: (1) emotional intelligence, (2) consulting, (3) effective communication, and (4) analytic thinking. The findings showed that AP contributing behaviors are significant to how HRD practitioners develop relationships, execute technical tasks, and gather and make sense of data. Besides, for HRD practitioners, AP behaviors are critical for self–awareness and learning from failures and successes. This study showed that incidents of failure offered more insights into AP contributing behaviors than those of success. We extrapolate, mainly since as the incidents of failure were self–reported, that AP contributing behaviors could helpHRD practitioners alter their actions as they navigate the overall demands of their work environment. More studies should examine AP, especially at the individual level, through the lens of failure because failure in itself can be transformational. Finally, we recognize that AP is integral to the professionalization of HRD practitioners because their jobs are instrumental to the creation and recreation of human expertise and organizational effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":43405,"journal":{"name":"New Horizons in Adult Education and Human Resource Development","volume":"34 1","pages":"4 - 16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86478796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The book is written by six dynamic teachers who are internationally recognized Global Teacher Prize finalists. Each author provides an overview of their specific circumstance before diving into the topic they wish to cover. While one author explores how technology is influencing education and whether a computer could ever replace a teacher, another explores how technology can cause the equity gap to grow larger. Each author uses their experience to explore their given topic and to bring concrete examples of what they have done, or seen done, to highlight their point. They use Klaus Schwab’s (2017) concept of the fourth industrial revolution , a shift in education being driven by the pace of technological change, as the jumping-off point for their explorations. The book recognizes the importance of looking not only at what is done in classrooms, but also at the impact of technological changes (Shirley, 2018; Vestberg, 2018). The six authors each take turns exploring topics related to Schwab’s concept of the fourth industrial revolution while drawing on Shirley’s new imperatives for education.

I argue that online learning offers a useful location for queer identities and queer knowledge to grow, especially for students who live in socially restrictive spaces.

Although more women are working now than ever before, the numbers of high–level management positions still are primarily occupied by men, and the reason for this imbalance is still unclear. Why are women not able to break that glass ceiling? What is keeping them out of positions of power and decision making, and what might be done to assist women with professional development and promotion? Formal mentoring programs designed specifically for women have been in existence for many years, and they have great potential to be beneficial for career advancement. Although these programs are not new, most women have never participated in them (Montazavi). From a human resource development perspective, formal mentoring programs, especially effective formal mentoring programs, should be encouraged for women. Establishing effective formal mentoring programs can help to reduce the barriers that women face when trying to succeed in the workplace. Formal mentoring programs are the answer in how to break through that glass ceiling. They can provide encouragement and foster the self–advocacy needed to overcome career barriers and succeed.","PeriodicalId":43405,"journal":{"name":"New Horizons in Adult Education and Human Resource Development","volume":"78 1","pages":"66 - 69"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86525393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
