“…The social workers in our study highlight the value of empathy in their discourses. As an attitude, empathy is crucial in the field of social work (Hunt, Denieffe, & Gooney, 2019), as it is the foundation of the professionals' bond with their users, it facilitates understanding, sensitivity and the ability to become aware of the individuals' feelings, thoughts and experiences (Greeno, Ting, & Wade, 2018;Wagaman et al, 2015;Walter & Shenaar-Golan, 2018). This element is emphasised by professionals as being central to the profession and fundamental to their relationships with users.…”

Compassion and empathy are considered to be elements of paramount importance in professionals working with individuals in need. However, the term 'compassion' generates controversy among social workers, while the term 'empathy' seems to be more universally accepted among these professionals. This qualitative study used a hermeneutic approach and aimed to explore and understand social workers' experiences with empathy and compassion in the community setting. Between January and June 2019, nine in-depth interviews and two focus group sessions were conducted with social workers from community social centres and primary healthcare centres in the province of Almería (Spain), with a total of 23 participants.

“…In this context, empathy refers to the conscious effort to include others' emotional perspectives and actions that may emerge due to different cultural backgrounds. Accordingly, empathy can offer a platform for learning how to interact with others that may be struggling emotionally (Walter and Shenaar-Golan, 2018). Research has found that empaths are capable of reading and imitating facial expressions (Jospe et al, 2018), allowing them to understand another person's feelings without verbal confirmation.…”

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are being built into the fabric of today’s organizations, and utilizing such a lens is vital to understanding cross-cultural performance. Yet, most of the culture and diversity literature has grown in silos and is therefore not leveraging the many benefits that their integration could provide. To counter this gap, we advance a theoretical framework featuring a new definition of cross-cultural performance (CCP) from a DEI perspective, as a new angle for doing work across cultures. Specifically, CCP is defined as the integration of multiple cultural perspectives of individuals who work together with the goal of enabling a diverse, inclusive, and equitable work environment. By applying the DEI lens to CCP, we elevate the meaning of performance due to added consideration of compositional differences, the possible barriers to employees’ success, and the extent to which others’ perspectives are indeed valued. Accordingly, our framework identifies three main components of CCP: catalyzing cultural differences, taking part in engaging communication, and promoting allyship activities. Furthermore, we specify emotional management as the glue of these three components, and key outcomes at different levels of analysis. Last, we discuss the implications of our framework to both theory and practice as well as directions for future research.

“…That 'fostering a team climate' was the only teamwork domain for which active students' selfefficacy was significantly greater compared to control students, was most likely due to the reflective exercise. This difference may relate to the value of reflection in shaping personal perceptions relating to the dynamics of language (words and tone), nonverbal communication (facial expression and body language), and optimism about teamwork, as was described for social work students by Walter and Shenaar-Golan (2018). If correct, this suggests that there may be a link between self-reflection and these aspects of communication that collectively contribute to fostering a team climate.…”

The impact of written reflection on tertiary students’ self-efficacy, and corresponding evaluation of their peers’ abilities, is often imprecise and lacking in clarity. This study thus sought to assess the effects of a written reflective diary on science undergraduates’ teamwork-related and other employability skills. Employability skills, in particular students’ teamwork-related skills, are crucial to students’ career development and progression. Assessment was carried out using a series of pre- and post-reflection online surveys, the TeamQ assessment rubric, and student focus groups. Participants identified five key teamwork skills, the importance of which remained constant over time. Written reflection had a significant, positive effect on students’ self-efficacy of their oral communication skills. Students’ written reflections were also important in shaping their perceptions about the domain of fostering a team climate, both in terms of their own self-efficacy and perceptions of their peers’ abilities. This study has interesting implications for future research into science students’ teamwork and other employability skills.
