    Abstract: Early childhood environmental education focusses on expanding children’s bio-affinity, developing their environmental attitudes and encouraging them to behave in a more environmentally friendly manner. One example of the educational method that is based on high-quality practices of both early childhood education and environmental education is the Reggio-Emilia pedagogical approach, which provides children with various nature-related experiences. This study examines the frequency and variety of indoor and outdoor nature experiences for children and the preschool teachers’ educational approaches and goals for children’s development in nature in two Reggio-Emilia preschools located in Halifax, Canada. To do this, first-hand observations and semi-structured teacher interviews were used. Results suggest that the Reggio-Emilia curriculum followed at the preschools provided various opportunities for children to be exposed to nature. However, the teachers have emphasized more on anthropocentric than nature-related educational goals.

    Probability Theories and Organization Science : The Nature and Usefulness of Different Ways of Treating Uncertainty
    SAGE Publications ; 2015

    Details
    In: Journal of Management, SAGE Publications, Vol. 41, No. 2 ( 2015-02), p. 744-760
    Abstract: Given the prevalence of statistical techniques that use probability to quantify uncertainty, the aim of this article is to highlight the theoretical aspects and implications of the major current probability interpretations that justify the development and use of such techniques. After briefly sketching the origins and development of the notion of probability, its theoretical interpretations will be outlined. Two main trends will be distinguished: one epistemic and one empirical, corresponding to the twofold meaning characterizing probability. The epistemic type embodies the so-called classical theory put forward by Laplace as well as the logical and subjective approaches. By contrast, the frequency and propensity theories are, in theory, empirical in character. This way of understanding probability contrasts with both the tenet that there is a “Bayesian interpretation” of probability and the tendency to conflate Bayesian probability with the subjective interpretation, both of which are misleading for reasons that emerge from the following discussion. The final section of the paper addresses the question of which type of probability is best suited for the organization sciences and suggests the subjective interpretation as the best option by virtue of its pluralism and awareness of context.

    Austerity and collective bargaining in Spain: The political and dysfunctional nature of neoliberal deregulation
    SAGE Publications ; 2016

    In: European Journal of Industrial Relations, SAGE Publications, Vol. 22, No. 3 ( 2016-09), p. 267-280
    Abstract: This article focuses on changes in collective bargaining in Spain during the current phase of austerity. We evaluate how the decentralization and transformation of collective bargaining have affected industrial relations and forms of work and suggest that the policy reforms have led to a deterioration in working conditions and a weakening in collective regulation and trade unions. However, we emphasize the contradictory outcomes, which appear to be drawing the state into new more direct roles, bringing new actors (such as legal firms) into the deregulation of employment. This situation also raises a range of concerns among managers and employers at the repoliticization of industrial relations and generates further challenges to the ability of management and unions to sustain consensual forms of social dialogue.

    The Recursive Nature of Institutional Change : An Annales School Perspective
    SAGE Publications ; 2017

    Details
    In: Journal of Management Inquiry, SAGE Publications, Vol. 26, No. 1 ( 2017-01), p. 17-31
    Abstract: In this essay, we propose a recursive model of institutional change building on the Annales School, one of the 20th century’s most influential streams of historical research. Our model builds upon three concepts from the Annales—mentalities, levels of time, and critical events—to explore how critical events affect different dimensions of institutional logics and exert short- or long-range influences. On these bases, organizations make choices, from decoupling to radical shifts in logics, leading to severe institutional changes that become the matter of history. As much as organizations are influenced by events and the prevalent institutional logics, their choices trigger macro-level changes in a recursive manner. More broadly, we comment on how fruitful is our approach to historicize organization studies.

    The Nature and Extent of Self-Help Housing in Texas : From Colonias to Model Subdivisions
    SAGE Publications ; 2016

    In: Journal of Planning Education and Research, SAGE Publications, Vol. 36, No. 2 ( 2016-06), p. 145-157
    Abstract: Despite regulatory efforts in Texas aimed at preventing the spread of “colonias”—self-help settlements with inadequate water and wastewater infrastructure—since the early 1990s hundreds of new self-help “model subdivisions” have formed throughout the state. Using aerial photography and parcel-level property records, I provide the first systematic analysis of these subdivisions. Their proliferation poses considerable challenges for local planners, and although most model subdivisions appear to have basic infrastructure, housing conditions are exceedingly poor because of the protracted nature of the self-help process. The study highlights the need for renewed attention by scholars, policymakers, and planners toward self-help settlements in Texas.

    The Nature and Implications of Consumers’ Experiential Framings of Failure in High-Risk Service Contexts
    SAGE Publications ; 2015
    In:  Journal of Service Research Vol. 18, No. 3 ( 2015-08), p. 303-317
    Details
    In: Journal of Service Research, SAGE Publications, Vol. 18, No. 3 ( 2015-08), p. 303-317
    Abstract: Many services, particularly those related to health care, can be considered high-risk in that despite service providers’ best efforts, consumers may not attain the outcomes they hope to achieve. Recent research highlights how cultural models regarding service providers influence the ways consumers experience and respond to failure. What bears investigating is how these cultural models and consumers’ related framings of failure shape consumer experience in high-risk contexts. Analyzing data from informants engaged with various types of infertility services, we develop a typology of four consumer experiential framings of failure that explore their experiences across three dimensions. These are as follows: the implicit cultural model that shapes relationships with service providers, the implicit cultural model regarding goal pursuit, and consumers’ tacit understandings regarding their appropriate courses of action in response to failure. We link each distinct type of experiential framing to consumers’ distinct set of expectations related to service recovery. And we offer insights for service providers on how to manage their relationships with consumers and (in the tradition of transformative services research) how to enhance consumer well-being.

    Capturing the Complex, Situated, and Active Nature of Teaching Through Inquiry-Oriented Standards for Teaching
    SAGE Publications ; 2017

    In: Journal of Teacher Education, SAGE Publications, Vol. 68, No. 1 ( 2017-01), p. 9-27
    Abstract: Given widespread acceptance of the role of teaching in improving student outcomes, it is not surprising that policy makers have turned to teaching standards as a lever for educational improvement. There are, however, long-standing critiques of standards that suggest they are reductionist and promote a dualism between theory and practice. Our purpose here is to propose a model of Teaching for Better Learning ( TBL) that responds to those critiques and that captures the complexity of teaching rather than focusing on discrete elements. Our model foregrounds the salience of teachers’ own situations and the active nature of teachers’ practice in a way that integrates practice with relevant theory. We outline how the TBL model can be used to derive inquiry-oriented teaching standards, an alternative approach that challenges widely accepted conventions for the design of standards and, we argue, might better support the improvement of teaching and learning.

    Segmenting Potential Nature-Based Tourists Based on Temporal Factors : The Case of Norway

    Abstract: The opportunity to experience nature-based activities at a destination with climate variations is a major driver of visitation for tourists. Despite significant research into seasonality and nature-based activity preferences, academic researchers are not profiling activity-oriented tourists into segments based on temporal factors such as seasons. To address this research gap, an expert panel was first asked to classify activities collected in a large secondary Norwegian tourist questionnaire into seasons. Next, 8,962 potential nature-based tourists were segmented based on summer, winter, and year-round activity preferences. When seasonality was taken into account, four clusters were identified. A combined model where seasonality was not addressed yielded fewer segments, and differing variables indicating that segmentation researchers may benefit from considering a fifth segmentation factor, namely temporal, in future. Theoretical and practical implications from this research are outlined and opportunities for future research are provided.
