Worthwhile Investment

Mindfulness is een hype. Zowel in wetenschappelijk onderzoek als binnen de populaire media is de aandacht voor de gunstige effecten van mindfulness de laatste jaren erg toegenomen. Organisaties zetten meer en meer in op mindfulnesscursussen voor hun medewerkers. Ook het onderzoek naar 'mindful leiderschap' is in opmars. Als tegenreactie waarschuwen sommige wetenschappers voor de te grote hoera-sfeer rond 'McMindfulness'. Het is dus belangrijk om kritisch te blijven en een genuanceerde visie te ontwikkelen met betrekking tot het nut van mindfulness voor zowel leidinggevenden als hun organisaties. In dit artikel maken we een systematisch overzicht van het onderzoek rond leider mindfulness en bekijken we de mogelijke werkingsmechanismen van leider mindfulness, waarna we ook kritische bedenkingen formuleren en praktische adviezen geven omtrent het toepassen van mindfulness in organisaties.Mindfulness has become a hype. Research and the popular press have been increasingly reporting on the benefits of a mindfulness practice on the work floor. The question still remains whether mindfulness interventions are a worthwhile investment for leaders in organizations. In this article we describe the ‘state of the art’ regarding mindful leadership and what we know with regards to leader mindfulness and its effect on both leaders and employees. We show that mindfulness may diminish stress and enhance self-regulation, information processing, decision making and communication with employees. However, the whole story is not uncritically positive: we elaborate on improvements that can be made in research methods, as well as on how mindfulness may be ineffectively or wrongfully used in organizations. We conclude with some practical advice for organizations.

Focus–target fit effect: Exploring the mechanism of construal level variation in decision making

Focus Type

We used the concept of focus–target fit (FTF) and nonfit states to examine a possible link between individuals’ regulatory focus type and decision target, which may influence their construal level and result in different decision-making strategies. In Experiment 1, we speculated that a participant’s construal level in an FTF (vs. nonfit) state would be comparatively lower. The FTF effect phenomenon was found, as expected. In Experiments 2 and 3 we included affective state as another factor for further examination of the combined influence over participants’ construal level. We observed that the influence of the FTF effect was covered up by that of the affective state. Our findings have filled the theoretical gap between self-regulation and information processing level, and offer an in-depth explanation of how individuals’ affect influences their method of decision making.

The reception of journalists at the Waspada Daily Medan always went through several rigorous selections before being determined to be accepted as journalists at the Waspada Medan Daily. There are several criteria that must be possessed by each participant as a condition for becoming a journalist in the Daily Alert Medan. To get the best participants, the Waspada Medan Daily needed a decision support system. Decision Support Systems (SPK) are part of computer-based information systems (including knowledge-based systems (knowledge management)) that are used to support decision making within an organization or company. Decision support systems provide a semitructured decision, where no one knows exactly how the decision should be made. In this study the authors applied the VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) as the method to be applied in the decision support system application. The VIKOR method is part of the Multi-Attibut Decision Making (MADM) Concept, which requires normalization in its calculations. The expected results in this study can obtain maximum decisions.Keywords: Journalist Acceptance, Decision Support System, VIKOR

Acetoin is an important four-carbon compound that has many applications in foods, chemical synthesis, cosmetics, cigarettes, soaps, and detergents. Its stereoisomer (S)-acetoin, a high-value chiral compound, can also be used to synthesize optically active drugs, which could enhance targeting properties and reduce side effects. Recently, considerable progress has been made in the development of biotechnological routes for (S)-acetoin production. In this review, various strategies for biological (S)- acetoin production are summarized, and their constraints and possible solutions are described. Furthermore, future prospects of biological production of (S)-acetoin are discussed.

Advance Care

Advance care planning (ACP) is a process of formal decision-making that aims to help patients establish decisions about future care that take effect when they lose capacity. In our experience, guidance for clinicians rarely provides detailed practical advice on how it can be successfully carried out in a clinical setting. This may create a barrier to ACP discussions which might otherwise benefit patients, families and professionals. The focus of this paper is on sharing our experience of ACP as clinicians and offering practical tips on elements of ACP, such as triggers for conversations, communication skills, and highlighting the formal aspects that are potentially involved. We use case vignettes to better illustrate the application of ACP in clinical practice.

Evidence-based assessment relies on research and theory to inform the selection of constructs to be assessed for a specific assessment purpose, the methods and measures to be used in the assessment, and the manner in which the assessment process unfolds. An evidence-based approach to clinical assessment necessitates the recognition that, even when evidence-based instruments are used, the assessment process is a decision-making task in which hypotheses must be iteratively formulated and tested. In this chapter, we review (a) the progress that has been made in developing an evidence-based approach to clinical assessment in the past decade and (b) the many challenges that lie ahead if clinical assessment is to be truly evidence-based.

“Technology Spurs Decentralization Across the Country.” So reads a 1984 New York Times article on real-estate trends in the United States. The contemporary revolution in information processing and transmittal now allows large businesses and other institutions to disperse their offices and other facilities across the country, even across the world, without loss of the policy- and decision-making abilities formerly requiring regular physical proximity. Thanks to computers, word processors, and the like, decentralization has become a fact of life in America and other highly technological societies.
