Building Capabilities for Change through Laboratory Simulations

In this paper the authors describe the learning from a project at the Organizational Learning Laboratory at George Mason University as an attempt to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Using social constructionist perspectives, a recasting of reverse simulations is shown as an alternative to the traditional focus in simulations, which is to portray reality outside as faithfully as possible in the laboratory environment Utilizing appreciative inquiry as the overarching conversational forum, participants in the project created a product in record time by making the best use of the diverse talents of their team members dispersed across organizational hierarchies

Exploring the determinants of becoming a mentor in Turkish organizations

The success of organizational mentoring programs is dependent on employees becoming mentors themselves. This research explores the determinants of individuals' willingness to mentor. It was conducted in 2016, with 175 respondents from six subsidiaries of two Turkish conglomerates. The quantitative study aimed to analyze the relationship between-personal dispositions (Self-Efficacy and Appreciative Intelligence (R)), organization's situational factors, previous mentoring experiences, expected costs and benefits from mentoring-and willingness to mentor. The results indicated that individuals scoring highly on dispositional variables and expected benefits from mentoring showed a higher propensity to mentor. While practitioners may identify candidates with higher scores on Appreciative Intelligence (R), and Expected Benefits Scales, they also need to enable the expected benefits to be achieved in the organization. This study contributes to the academic literature on understanding mentoring intentions and provides practitioners with actionable recommendations for the recruitment of mentors who in turn may contribute to positive organization change.WOS:000458789200006Scopus - Affiliation ID: 60105072Social Sciences Citation IndexQ3 - Q4ArticleUluslararası işbirliği ile yapılan - EVETMart2019YÖK - 2018-1

從種子看見大樹 : 用賞識力預見成功

[[abstract]]發掘隱藏在創造力、領導力和成功背後的能力 　　現今最有創造力和最成功的人都有一項不尋常的能力：即使在最不利的情況下，他們知道如何重建現實環境，讓隱藏的機會顯現。查成可瑞和梅可把這項獨特的才能稱為「賞識力」（Appreciative Intelligence）。舉實例說明，可口可樂的肯德從一帖失敗的治頭痛藥方，看出它的潛力，把它變成一種最暢銷的飲料──可口可樂；美國太空總署的裴勒林，幫助太空總署從哈伯太空望遠鏡反敗為勝。本書作者是第一個仔細描述這項能力的人，他們也告訴你如何發展自己和組織的賞識力。識力提出一個新的解答，解釋成功的人如何產生特殊又創新的想法，為什麼員工、夥伴、同事、發明家、風險投資者願意加入他們，他們又是如何在困難重重的情況下達成目標。這不僅僅是樂觀而已。有AQ的人很實際又有行動力，他們不只能找出正面潛能，更能規劃一連串行動來發揮潛能。作者用心理學和認知神經科學的最新發現，來證明賞識力的存在，說明AQ的特點，解釋人們應如何發展自己的AQ，並把它運用到生活和工作中。他們說明了最成功的領導者如何在組織內散播AQ，並且提供練習工具讓你加強自己的AQ，使你變得更有創意、更具韌性、更成功、更能自我實現
