The mutually beneficial relationships between improving animal welfare (AW) and achieving the United Nations (UN) sustainable development goals (SDGs) were further explored and compared to previous work. This was done in the context of a doctoral training course where students selected at least six SDGs and reasoned around their impact on AW and vice versa. Then, students rated the strength of the SDG—AW links. Lastly, students engaged in an assessment exercise. Students reported an overall mutually beneficial relationship between AW and all SDGs, yet with significant differences in strength for SDGs 4, 11, 10, 12 and 13 to that previously found by experts. Students considered SDG 12: Responsible consumption and production the most promising way to integrate AW targets. This study further supports the positive role of AW in the success of the UN’s strategy. Still, the magnitude of the anticipated impacts is modified by stakeholder, context and experience.

One of the main challenges in sustainability discourse is its multifaceted nature often requiring that many different disciplines must cooperate in order to achieve progress. This issue also concerns sustainability education. In the article, we highlighted the experiences from the international cooperation of university teachers and researchers with highly diverse professional backgrounds who worked together on developing educational materials for university students in sustainability-oriented courses. The study is based on qualitative, participatory evaluation research, applying two rounds of open-ended questionnaires distributed to the same respondents (n = 18). For the analysis, we used the open-coding procedure for identifying the main categories. The results show some of the opportunities and barriers that emerged in the process of this cooperation. In particular, we discuss the issues related to the high heterogeneity of the group, such as the clashes of the different perspectives on the topics covered, group dynamics issues, trust, facilitation challenges, and also opportunities that such heterogeneity offers. We highlight the importance of open reflectivity in sustainability-oriented educational projects as the key to their successful implementation. Finally, we believe that results of this participatory study are useful in designing new projects aiming at further improvement of academic education in sustainability and sustainable development.

Despite substantial increases in the scope and magnitude of biodiversity conservation and ecological restoration, there remains ongoing degradation of natural resources that adversely affects both biodiversity and human well-being. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) can be an effective framework for reversing this trend, by increasing the alignment between conservation and sustainable development objectives. However, unless there is clarity on its evolution, definition and principles, and relationship with related approaches, it will not be possible to develop evidence-based standards and guidelines, or to implement, assess, improve and upscale NbS interventions globally. In order to address this gap, we present the definition and principles underpinning the NbS framework, recently adopted by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and compare it to (1) the Ecosystem Approach that was the foundation for developing the NbS definitional framework, and (2) four specific ecosystem-based approaches (Forest Landscape Restoration, Ecosystem-based Adaptation, Ecological Restoration and Protected Areas) that can be considered as falling under the NbS framework. Although we found substantial alignment between NbS principles and the principles of the other frameworks, three of the eight NbS principles stand out from other approaches: NbS can be implemented alone or in an integrated manner with other solutions; NbS should be applied at a landscape scale; and, NbS are integral to the overall design of policies, measures and actions, to address societal challenges. Reversely, concepts such as adaptive management/governance, effectiveness, uncertainty, multi-stakeholder participation, and temporal scale are present in other frameworks but not captured at all or detailed enough in the NbS principles. This critical analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the NbS principles can inform the review and revision of principles supporting specific types of NbS (such as the approaches reviewed here), as well as serve as the foundation for the development of standards for the successful implementation of NbS.

This commentary discusses strategic environmental assessment (SEA) in the context of global environmental change and presents a brief overview of the science of social‐ecological systems and the resilience thinking and practices that result from it. Resilience thinking and assessment have the potential to make a significant contribution to SEA, if SEA is applied (as intended) as a proactive tool for assessing development sustainability during the process of making plans, policies, and programs. So far, there is little indication that social–ecological system (SES) resilience ideas are being applied to SEA, and from a complex systems perspective, it seems that cognitive and social biases may be the primary barriers to both the improvement of SEA practice and the application of SES resilience science to SEA practice. Resilience thinking can be integrated into SEA, provided that leadership in the SEA community can create a social movement for change in practice and the policies that affect SEA procedures. Principles of complexity, uncertainty, self‐organization, and cooperative problem solving may be the most important cognitive barriers to change and can be overcome through education and a learning‐by‐doing approach to the application of resilience assessment when appropriate in a SEA process. A deliberate change process can be undertaken in an action research approach that monitors and adapts the process according to the lessons learned in practice.

The leadership capability of Australia’s four Prime Ministers 1996 – 2015 has been widely debated by political commentators, financial analysts and the general public. The success of these senior leaders has been questioned, as has their management of their office, staff, and colleagues. This article will investigate the performances of these four Australia Prime Ministers – John Howard, Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott. Self-Determination Theory (SDT) is presented as a framework that could provide guidance on the aspects of leadership that if attended to could result in enhanced performance of political leaders and ultimately security of their position. SDT is also used as a theoretical lens to evaluate the behaviour and provide a comparative assessment of these four Australian Prime Ministers. It is posited that SDT analysis illustrates ways that each of the four Prime Ministers could have performed better and highlights key lessons for current and future leaders around the world.

Conventional strategic environmental assessment (SEA) is based on the assumption that ecosystems and people behave predictably and that cause and effect have a direct and linear relationship. Recognition of wetlands as complex adaptive systems has profound implications for wetland management and requires a paradigm shift from command-and-control management to management for complexity and uncertainty. Resilience assessment as a potential alternative assessment method takes the uncertainty and complexity of ecosystems into account and improves the manner in which SEA is undertaken. This chapter provides a brief description of resilience theory, the resilience assessment process, and some general resilience perspectives on the use of wetlands. The main steps in resilience assessment are (1) System description; (2) General resilience assessment; (3) Specified resilience assessment; (4) Governance assessment; and (5) Strategy and management planning. The assessment considers the biophysical, social, and economic domains of the system, its subsystems, and the environment within which it is located. An assessment of the governance structures that regulates natural resource use in the system may be indicated by the number, nature, and severity of issues identified in the initial description of the system. The assessment process is iterative and allows for a social learning process to develop a deeper understanding of the system’s dynamics and an adaptive management strategy. Resilience assessment is a strategy development tool, providing a big picture understanding of a system and the possible outcome of the selected direction for change or no change. It helps managers decide whether to enhance the resilience of the existing system or to transform the system and develop its resilience.

Demands for moral development are increasing in business and professional training. Mixed results of diversity training programs in the higher education sector suggest that innovative approaches are required for preparing students to become morally upright leaders and teachers. This research looks at the implementation of an online interactive tutorial that focuses on students working and learning together with others from a variety of diverse backgrounds. The study comprises a three-year investigation on the attitudes and understandings of students prior to a group work assessment task, and after completing the online tutorial. First year primary education students (n=594) completed pre- and post-surveys on their perspective of working with others, with a moderating educational intervention. Results revealed mixed views about the value of the program to this generation of students. We make suggestions for institutions of higher education to consider when creating diversity training and support for university students.

Sustainable development aims at addressing economic, social, and environmental concerns, but the current lack of responsive environmental governance hinders progress. Short-term economic development has led to limited actions, unsustainable resource management, and degraded ecosystems. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) may continue to fall short of achieving significant progress without a better understanding of how ecosystems contribute to achieving sustainability for all people. Ecosystem governance is an approach that integrates the social and ecological components for improved sustainability and includes principles such as adaptive ecosystem co-management, subsidiarity, and telecoupling framework, as well as principles of democracy and accountability. We explain the importance of ecosystem governance in achieving the SDGs, and suggest some ways to ensure that ecosystem services are meaningfully considered. This paper reflects on how integration of these approaches into policies can enhance the current agenda of sustainability.

Conventional strategic environmental assessment (SEA) is based on the assumption that ecosystems and the people who use them behave predictably and that cause has a direct and linear relationship with effect. Environmental managers know this assumption to be false, but until recently, there has not been an alternative assessment method that takes the uncertainty and complexity of ecosystems into account. Slootweg and Jones (2011) introduced resilience assessment as a potential tool for improving the manner in which SEA is undertaken. This text provides a brief description of resilience theory, the resilience assessment process, and some general resilience perspectives on the use of wetlands.

Many organisations around the world are beginning to move towards a position of increased diversity in their numbers. There are many ways to look at the issue and achieve satisfactory outcomes. This paper explores an approach which offers strong advantages and benefits for the functional integration of minority groups. Operating on the theoretical principles of Diversity Acceptance and Organisational Inclusive Behaviour, the paper will explore the two cycles of diversity. The first cycle follows a ‘vicious’ path, where diversity adjustments are not applied or effective. This cycle highlights the problems that occur as a result of increased heterogeneity. The second cycles follows a ‘virtuous’ path, where diversity adjustments are successful, and the benefits of Diversity Acceptance and Organisational Inclusive Behaviour can be realized. The paper will close with a presentation of the strategies that can be employed to deliver effective diversity adjustments through Diversity Acceptance and Organisational Inclusive Behaviour.

The aim of this study was to explore the role of the Diffusion of Innovations framework in adopting an infection prevention and control program (IPCP) in a low and middle income (LMI) country, the Republic of Kiribati. Case-study methodology was used to examine and contextualise the analysis of the Republic of Kiribati's adoption of the IPCP from 2003 to 2010. Data were collected from multiple sources including semi-structured interviews, IPCP documentation, program evaluation and a healthcare worker survey. Data were subjected to thematic analysis and descriptive statistics where relevant to the study design. It was found that the self-initiated progression of activities and stimuli has resulted in the successful adoption of a comprehensive IPCP. The process followed the staged model of the classic Diffusion of Innovations process in organisations described by Everett Rogers. This case study provides an illustration of how a comprehensive IPCP can be adopted in a LMI country setting with little involvement from external agencies. It identifies key stimuli, opportunities and activities which could be similarly adopted and implemented by other LMI countries.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to introduce a novel direction of enquiry into predictions of employee turnover through the application of a qualitative method adapted from marital research. This method focuses on diagnosing the relationship, and has been able to predict divorce with an accuracy of over 90 per cent, as opposed to existing turnover prediction methods’ modest success of about 30 per cent. By demonstrating that the method can be applied to turnover research, this study completes a seminal step in developing this promising direction of enquiry. Design/methodology/approach – The Oral History Interview method for predicting divorce is adapted to employment settings, and tested on Australian legal and healthcare employees. A qualitative analysis of their responses maps the results from this inquiry onto separation-predicting processes identified in marital research. The results are compared to turnover data collected two years later. Findings – Similar relational processes exist in marital and employment relationships when the marital relationship diagnostics method is applied to organisational settings, demonstrating the utility of this tool in the employment context. Preliminary turnover data indicate that some relational processes are significantly associated with employee turnover. Research limitations/implications – Future research should examine the predictive power of this tool on a larger sample, and apply it to a wider range of professions, tenure, and positions. Practical implications – The results indicate that it is viable to diagnose an employment relationship using this diagnostics method developed in marital research. Social implications – The novel perspective offered in this paper has potential to greatly improve this employment relationship across jobs and organisations, thus improving organisational productivity and individual wellbeing. Originality/value – Researchers of employee turnover and practitioners seeking to understand and manage it can benefit from this novel and practical perspective on employment.

Background This study was conducted to review the status of the comprehensive infection prevention and control program (IPCP) established in the Republic of Kiribati in 2005, and to identify opportunities to continue and expand the integration of the IPCP into health service delivery. Methods The review was conducted in 2010 using 2 empirical tools: a pilot IPCP evaluation (IPCPE) tool that evaluated the activities of the program and its implementation, and a previously validated self-administered survey that assessed health care worker (HCW) knowledge, application, and confidence in infection control principles and practice. The survey was given to all 186 clinicians at Tungaru Central Hospital; the response rate was 59.7%. Results The Kiribati IPCP demonstrated a minimum level of compliance (75%) with the activity standards set out in the IPCPE tool. The mean scores on the HCW survey were 62% for knowledge, 63% for application, and 79% for confidence. Significant correlations were found among knowledge, application, and confidence. Conclusions This evaluation of the Kiribati IPCP with our IPCPE tool provides valuable insight into the status of a recently adopted comprehensive program and how it has translated into the knowledge, application, and confidence of HCWs in their clinical practice. The HCW survey provides evidence that the IPCP has translated into confidence and ability in the application of infection prevention practices.No Full Tex

Collaboration and eCollaboration are arguable necessities for firms in today’s economic age. Gone are the times when a firm could stand alone in the market warding off the competitive pressures of rival firms. Today, just the competitive forces of globalization alone are significant drivers to enable collaboration amongst rivals. The advantages of collaboration and eCollaboration for SMEs are profuse, providing small firms a measure of economic security in a world in which many industries face hyper-competition, particularly from countries with very low costs of labor. In discussing the nature and advantages of eCollaboration, the need for an eCollaboration champion becomes apparent. This case discusses eCollaboration from the perspective of 70 Australia SMEs and presents a model for the successful championship. In so doing, it discusses the multiple roles a champion must embrace and the various issues and dilemmas that are contingent to these roles.
