Managerial satisfactions and organizational roles: An investigation of Porter's Need Deficiency Scales.

In news organizations today, editorial strategy is business strategy. The two are entirely intertwined. Understanding either requires studying both. With the shift to digital, the process of publishing the news has transitioned from a series of loosely coupled, sequential, and periodic production tasks to a set of complex, overlapping, and stochastic outputs requiring significant alignment and coordination to succeed. For journalists, these changes are challenging newsroom norms and driving an embrace of human-centered design practices and product thinking. For academics it is an opportunity to study the remaking of organizational roles and relationships in the business of digital news, an effort that is still in its infancy.

Life History Methodology

Within the libraries and other information organizations, paraprofessionals have taken on ever more important roles. Given the prominence of paraprofessionals in the LIS workplace, their organizational roles and career paths are understudied. Using life history methodology, this study will address this gap in the LIS literature.Au sein des bibliothèques et autres organismes d’information, les paraprofessionnels assument des rôles de plus en plus importants. Compte tenu du nombre de paraprofessionnels dans le milieu des BSI, leurs rôles organisationnels et leurs plans de carrières demeurent sous étudies. À l’aide d’une méthodologie du cycle de vie (life history), cette étude comble un vide dans la littérature des BSI.

Organizational Roles

In this decade⁄ leadership has been one of the most popular topics with speakers and writers on management.

Distinction between leadership and managerial roles is becoming clearer. Whether leaders are born or made is no longer a serious controversy. It is asserted that leadership success or failure depends more on learning processes and situational contexts. How to interpret the life around and how to promote meaningful action are some of the vital questions which only better understanding can help in answering. The purpose of this paper by Sampat Singh is to promote efforts in that direction.
