“…Similarly, it should be noted that the behaviours manifested by the participants show a heterogeneous socio-historical development as a result of their personal, family, cultural and professional characteristics, being consistent with other research where it has been observed that the generative force reported in middle age is presented in different forms and intensities [36] with the purpose of contributing to the development of future generations [35,68,85,86]. In turn, other studies have reported that those adults who score higher on a standard measure of generativity tend to perceive themselves as more involved in transmitting values to future generations [87], relating this to the existence of early life experiences, in which individuals have been engaged in transmitting prosocial values relevant to young people [88].…”

The rural teaching profession demands a genuine commitment to the development of future generations, ensuring a legacy that transcends time. Thus, generativity would be a characteristic dimension of the teaching function manifested in various forms, roles and tasks aimed at caring for students and their communities of origin. Objective: To explore the relational dynamics that rural teachers have constructed throughout their life trajectories and how these have influenced the potentially generative development of their teaching identity. Method: an interpretative-qualitative approach was adopted, following a descriptive, exploratory and cross-sectional design. The purposive sample consisted of twelve teachers with an average of 33 years of experience in rural schools in the Metropolitan Region, La Araucanía and Los Ríos (Chile). In-depth interviews from a narrative-generative perspective were used to collect the data. Subsequently, the stories were subjected to content analysis, following the logic of Grounded Theory. Results: The teachers show a potentially generative development, expressed in the construction of relational dynamics of trust, reciprocity and positive affection with their students. With their peers, they demonstrate collaborative practices, teamwork and orientation towards continuous improvement in their professional work. At the management level, they stand out for their leadership skills and commitment to the development of rural communities.

“…Dualistic traditions of top-down/bottom-up hierarchies are evolving due to new ideas, self-reflexivity, and responses to external pressures.This results in transformation of organizations into newly emergent styles and approaches to organizational design. Gáspár and Laurén (2013) attribute such transformation to openness to experimentation and emerging trends in knowledge and organization.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how and when holacracy works for organizations. Design/methodology/approach The paper illustrates the idea by drawing insights from the case of Zappos and Gidley’s framework of future organizations. Findings The paper provides a balanced view on holacracy and how it can be beneficial for organizations. The potential of holarchical structures will be fruitful only if the structure-culture fit is achieved. The paper also highlights the lessons learned from previous implementations of holacracy and concludes with possible solutions for organizations. Practical implications The structure-culture fit is still a pertinent question especially when organizations are growing in size. Organizations need to address the intergenerational differences and core tenets of organizational culture while adopting flat structures to promote flexibility and individualization. New ideas and ways of organizing are therefore best treated as experiments guided by strategic vision and a defined direction. Originality/value The paper extends the existing knowledge on holacracy by applying Gidley’s framework and providing practical insights for practitioners in implementing holacracy.

“…Nature and society have always been in a secret dialogue with each other, forming visible and invisible oppositions, taking over the role of the other and embodying universal values for the other side [ 72 ]. When highlighting the needs of the future and present, sustainable development concepts often neglect how these needs are born: that is, by the relationship between future and present generations [ 29 ]. Balázs and Gáspár [ 2 ] revealed that the current generation lived on the cost of the future’s generation, “consumed” their futures, determined their actions and did not give them the freedom of choice and forced them to fulfil their obligations imposed on them.…”

This article offers an overview of the evolution of Hungarian futures studies via a systematic literature review of articles with at least one Hungarian futurist (co-)author, published in high-ranking international or English-language Hungarian journals. The review reveals how researchers from a relatively small European country, where central planning had been applied for decades, have made their way to the pages of prestigious international journals and disseminated their results in a diverse range of articles to the global research community. The number of these publications has increased decade by decade. Results of statistical-based literature review demonstrate that research period and research topic are in strong association with the quality of journal articles, yet scientometric features of Hungarian futurist (co-)authors are not significant in this aspect. However, spectacular clustering of articles can be accomplished based on the citation statistics of Hungarian futurist (co-)authors.
