Standard Operating Procedures and Organizational Learning

We report results of a study on processes of Organizational Learning (OL). Changes and suspensions of organizational rules are taken as indicators for OL. The empiric analysis is performed with personnel rules of a German bank. The aim of our study is to identify factors that have an impact on rule changes and suspensions and thereby on OL. These influence factors are, on the one hand, variables that reflect experiences of organizational members with rules and, on the other, variables which capture organizational and environmental shifts. An important finding of this study is that the processes of rule change and rule suspension follow quite different patterns. The changing of a rule is mainly influenced by experience variables. Two basic modes of experiential influences could be shown: habitualization and working one's way out of a failure trap. Experience variables also play a role in the process of rule suspension. The negative influence of rule age on the suspension process suggests that the habitualization of rules over time increases reluctance to abolish a rule. It could also be shown that the positive version age effect on the suspension rate, which indicated an obsolescence process during the existence of a rule version when no additional variables are controlled, is explained by ecological shifts. Organizational and environmental shifts hardly display any significant effects on the rate of rule change. On the other hand, these shifts represent distinct influences on rule suspension. When the environment of a rule changes the need for an abolishment of this rule rises. The attention towards rules which are no longer appropriate seems to be stimulated by these environmental and organizational shifts. These findings suggest that OL can consist of a type of learning which is rather independent of certain ecological triggers and it can also consist of a type of learning which is maintained in order to adapt to certain changes within and outside the o

Guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures for IDDE and Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping

In April 2003, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) issued a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s). A total of 45 New Hampshire communities (six fully regulated and 39 partially regulated) became subject to Stormwater Phase II regulations based on their designation as Urbanized Areas according to the 2000 US Census

Efektivitas Peraturan Gubernur Tentang Standar Operasional Prosedur (Sop) Administrasi Pemerintahan Di Pemerintah Di Pemerintah Daerah Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah

The purpose of this study was to determine how the effectiveness of Governor Regulation on Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Administrative Governance in Central Sulawesi Provincial Government, who studied based on theoretical models measure the effectiveness of Duncan by using variables: 1). Achievement, 2). Integration, 3). Adaptation. This type of research used qualitative decision-informants purposively and the number of informants as much as 5 people with data collection techniques, 1). Observation, 2). Interviews, 3). Documentation. Catalysts data using Miles and Huberman opinion. Results is Indicates that the preparation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Administration In Central Sulawesi Provincial Government does not operate effectively under Regulation Governor of Central Sulawesi Central No. 17 Year 2012 on Standard Operating Procedures in the Government of Central Sulawesi province. Judging from the three measures of effectiveness proposed by Duncan, who runs a good criterion, namely adaptation. While the criteria have not been running well in the preparation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Administration in the Government of Central Sulawesi province, namely Achievement and Integration because of ineffective socialization preparation of Standard Operating Procedures Administration that resulted in delayed ratification of the Standard Operating Procedure Administration, which should be legalized in 2016

Implementasi Standar Operasional Prosedur Rumah Detensi Imigrasi (Rudenim) di Kota Pekanbaru

Immigration detention is a temporary shelter foreigners who violate the legislation imposed immigration measures and pending repatriation to their countryThis study aims to determine how the implementation and the factors that influence in the Standard Operating Procedures Rudenim in Pekanbaru, to conform with regulations that the Director General of Immigration NO IMI. 1917-OT.02.01 YEAR 2013 on Standard Operating Procedures Rudenim.This study uses qualitative methods with data collection by interview, observation and literature study. Interviews were conducted with research informants defined by snowball sampling technique.The results showed that the implementation of Standard Operating Procedures Immigration Detention House (Rudenim) in the city of Pekanbaru is still not running smoothly or less effective. Due to the vagueness and contradictions in the statement of basic measures and policy objectives which resulted in the disciplinary rules pertaining to the Standard Operating Procedure regarding temporary exit permits for Deteni without escort. concluded that the dominant factor influencing factor is the policy. Where the lack of policy of the Central Government and the response or lack good relationship between immigration detention by the central government such as the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights and the Minister of Foreign Affairs so as to make make the implementation of Standard Operating Procedures immigration detention is not running smoothly

A simulator study for the development and evaluation of operating procedures on a supersonic cruise research transport to minimize airport-community noise

Piloted-simulator studies were conducted to determine takeoff and landing operating procedures for a supersonic cruise research transport concept that result in predicted noise levels which meet current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification standards. With the use of standard FAA noise certification test procedures, the subject simulated aircraft did not meet the FAA traded-noise-level standards during takeoff and landing. However, with the use of advanced procedures, this aircraft meets the traded-noise-level standards for flight crews with average skills. The advanced takeoff procedures developed involved violating some of the current Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR), but it was not necessary to violate any FAR noise-test conditions during landing approach. Noise contours were also determined for some of the simulated takeoffs and landings in order to indicate the noise-reduction advantages of using operational procedures other than standard
