Preparing Doctoral Students for Scholar Communities

One of the great barriers to success for junior faculty is their romanticized image of the professoriate as an occupation marked by individual expertise and self-sufficient scholarship. As doctoral students, we tend to see the Ph.D. process as preparation for that self-sufficient existence rather than training for socialization into a community of scholars. According to Robert Boice [2000], naiveté about the socialization process of the professoriate leads to failures and miseries. This paper builds on my experience as a doctoral student under Gary W. Dickson\u27s mentorship at the University of Minnesota to explore the importance of scholarly communities and the need to train doctoral students to actively create, grow, and sustain such mutually-beneficial entities

Understanding Choice of Information and Communication Channels in Knowledge Sharing

This study represents research-in-progress that investigates the factors motivating employee choice of information and communication channels for sharing knowledge. A pilot study was conducted to determine what channels are available, what channels employees actually use, and why they employ those channels. Participants responded to an online questionnaire. Preliminary results show that employees have a wide variety of channels available. Face-to-face, telephone, and e-mail are commonly used for knowledge sharing while Web 2.0 technologies remain underutilized. Channel choice appears to be influenced by the type of knowledge to be shared, among other things. Based on the results and extant literature on practice-based research and cross-boundary knowledge sharing, a model is developed to guide our future research

Musical Habits and Smartphone Addiction of College Students: Mediating Role of Self-Control

This study uses theories of habit and self-control to explore the relationship between musical habits and smartphone addiction among college students. Our findings reveal that self-control mediates this relationship, with individual differences playing a significant role. While musical listening habits, impacted by personal genre preferences, positively impact self-control, active music engagement, through playing an instrument and/or creating music, negatively affects it. We suggest using interventions to promote mindful music engagement to mitigate smartphone addiction. These insights contribute to understanding how music habits influence digital behaviors and offer practical strategies for fostering healthier smartphone use among college populations
