“…The purpose of the workshop was to explore what these postgraduates considered as a supervisory relationship that would support them in their development as scholars in nursing science. In appreciative inquiry research, the focus is on exploring the positive attributes of the studied phenomenon (Reed ).…”

Introduction: The quality of the relationship between postgraduate students and their supervisors often determines the progress of the students. Background: Successful supervision according to students is associated with the expertise of the supervisors in research and the academic discipline and their willingness to share their knowledge and skills with their students. On the other hand supervisors expect their students to be knowledgeable in research methods and to be able to work to a large extent independently. Contradictory expectation of supervisors and postgraduate students can cause delays in the progress of students.

“…This study integrated the framing of social resilience with the second study conducted by Freitag et al's (2014), who used an asset-based appreciative inquiry (AI) approach to elicit people's perspectives on community disaster resilience. AI seeks to explore ideas, values, and perceptions that people have about their environment by focussing on positives rather than on problems (Reed, 2007). Their study first asked research participants to respond to questions such as "What do they like about their community?"…”

Purpose -As disaster resilience activities are increasingly occurring at the neighbourhood level, there is a growing recognition in research and in practice of the contributions that community stakeholders can make in assessing the resilience of their communities. The purpose of this paper is to describe the process in deriving a disaster resilience measurement framework by soliciting the perspectives of stakeholders from urban neighbourhoods in two countries. The authors examined their community values, and their perspectives on both the concept of resilience and the essential elements that they believe would contribute to the resiliency of their neighbourhoods. Design/methodology/approach -The authors used an appreciative inquiry approach to draw out the perspectives of 58 stakeholders from nine focus groups in five urban neighbourhoods in New Zealand and in the USA. Findings -Results of this research show common values and recurring perceived characteristics of disaster resilience across the study sites. A neighbourhood-based disaster resilience measurement framework is developed that encompasses individual/psychological, socio-cultural, economic, infrastructural/built, and institutional/governance dimensions of disaster resilience. In the process of developing the framework, the authors identified challenges in engaging certain segments of the population and in accounting for wider structural influences on neighbourhood resilience. Research limitations/implications -Issues relating to inclusive community engagement and linkages to cross-scalar resilience factors need to be addressed in future studies. Practical implications -Results of this research provide insights and guidance for policy makers and practitioners when engaging communities in the development of resilience metrics. Originality/value -This study fills the literature gap in evaluating community values and stakeholders' perspectives on disaster resilience when identifying metrics for resilience interventions in urban neighbourhoods. The proposed measurement framework is derived from cross-cultural and diverse socioeconomic settings.

“…The philosophical orientation of this study takes its lead from positive organisational scholarship (Cameron et al. ; Roberts ) and appreciative inquiry (Cooperrider and Srivastva ; Reed ), which together emphasise critically appreciative views of organisations and their management. As Cameron and his colleagues put it, positive organisational scholarship (POS) is concerned, ‘primarily with the study of especially positive outcomes, processes, and attributes of organisations and their members’ (Cameron et al.…”

Public Value Management: A Case Study of Transitional Change in Disability Sector Reform in Western Australia

This paper contributes to the study of public value management (PVM). PVM is distinguished from other approaches to public administration in its focus on establishing community networks and collaborative capacity building for the creation of public value. We explore PVM through a case study of a public-community sector partnership strategy called the positive behaviour framework (PBF), a state government initiative designed to transform services for people with disabilities. The development and implementation of the PBF is analysed via a transitional change or 'sector awareness' model. Each phase of the model is illustrated through 'positive stories' that depict key moments in the change process and in the activities that public sector managers employed to raise awareness, build capacity, and promote collaboration. We discuss the implications of the study for disability sector change management and for the further study of the PVM approach to public sector administration.
