“…Firstly, few studies have systemically assessed all types of teacher-student conflict in the classroom. Based on conflict theory [14,[48][49][50]), this study classified and explained three types of teacher-student conflict. Secondly, we investigated how different types of conflict are associated with students' creativity.…”

This study examines the effectiveness of different types of teacher–student conflict in promoting students’ creativity in universities. Previous studies mainly focused on the negative effects of conflict; few examined its positive effects. Teacher–student conflict in university classes can take many forms; however, there are no clear definitions of the various types of such conflict. This study classified teacher–student conflict as understanding conflict, process conflict, and relationship conflict, and we used this classification to extend prior research by revealing the beneficial impacts of teacher–student conflict on students’ creativity. We empirically examined the relationship between teacher–student conflict and students’ creativity. The hypotheses were supported by using data from questionnaires completed by 2009 students at 17 American universities. We then conducted a hierarchical regression analysis of the data using structural equation modeling. The findings indicate that understanding conflict and process conflict had significant positive effects on students’ creativity, whereas relationship conflict had a significant negative effect on students’ creativity. This study thus revealed the positive effect of teacher–student conflict in university classes and suggests encouraging conflict (understanding conflict and process conflict) as a unique teaching method to stimulate students’ creativity.

“…In exploring the professionalization of the HR specialist, the HRM literature has given weight to this form of power noting that weak claims to senior management status have often undermined professional credibility. Jurisdictional entrenchment has resulted in HR specialists performing relatively mundane operational tasks (Sandholtz et al., 2019), disconnecting them from the organization's strategic management narrative (Roper & Higgins, 2020).…”

The management of the professions has become increasingly challenging, reflecting the emergence of new work roles in professionalized workplaces. Human Resource Management (HRM) scholars have, however, been slow to study the professions, particularly how the power they derive from ownership interacts with other forms of power. This article explores the use of different forms of power by a profession, general practitioners (GPs), in engaging with a new healthcare role, the physician associate (PA). Despite policy support for the role, we find GPs' employment of the role in primary care is low. This is explained by two GP responses to the introduction of the role: employment denial and subordination. We theorize these responses as deriving from GPs' ownership power, enhancing their managerial and knowledge‐based control over PAs. In doing so, we open‐up a research avenue in the study of workforce management focused on professions' ownership power.

“…HRM focuses on the organizational perspective and performances, and extends its boundaries by adopting cross-functional approaches in strategic HRM, cross-cultural practices, political influences and IHRM (International HRM) (Ferris et al , 1999; Hoobler and Johnson , 2004; Bonache and Festing, 2020). Additionally, the role of HRM could be best explained by the Ulrich model (1998), as it gives a comprehensive outlook on the roles of HRM in the organization (Roper and Higgins, 2020; Ulrich, 1998). According to the Ulrich model, functions of the HRM include strategic partner, change agent, employee champion and administrative expert.…”

PurposeThis article focuses on the various phenomenological approaches and their scope in the Human Resource Management (HRM) domain.Design/methodology/approachThe authors reviewed and elaborated various phenomenological approaches, and their convergence, divergence and scope in the field of HRM.FindingsThe theoretical underpinnings of phenomenology reveal that with its philosophical differences, phenomenology emanates various spectrums in the form of different approaches. Furthermore, these approaches, e.g. Post-Intentional Phenomenology and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, have the potential to understand and uncover various phenomena in the field of HRM.Practical implicationsPhenomenological approaches could be employed to uncover various complex phenomena in the field of HRM. Phenomenological approaches can be used to examine the everyday life experiences of employees, as they could contribute to reframe and enhance the HRM practices in the organization.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the authors' knowledge of employing various phenomenological approaches to explore the diverse phenomena in the field of HRM.
