Management Research

Hello and welcome, dear listeners!

Today, I start a new #podcast mini-series dedicated to the #transactional #analysis as postulated by @Eric Berne. His ideas may help you understand the issues in #communication and prevent #conflicts in your #team or even in your #privatelife.

In this episode, I briefly introduce the #scholar. In the next episode, we will talk about his #theory and how it can be observed in #humancommunication.

Wish you all the best! Don't forget to #subscribe, #comment, and #share this episode with your friends and #colleagues!

Hello dear friends

Today, I finalise my #podcast mini-series on #causalmapping - a method to measure how people think. In this #episode, I discuss the #positivism and #constructuvism. The episode is not about the #philosophy of #research but how this #methodology could be #published. I concluded that #causal #mapping may be a good fit for those who try to pursue the #mixedmethods approach. The reason is that causal mapping is easy to understand for both types of reviewers and might be your way out of the conflicts with #reviewers.

Good luck with your research!

Hello and welcome!

Today, I discuss what to do with the #data you collected with a #causalmap. You will have many distances from each person to all others (like a #correlation table). In our #dataanalysis, we applied #clustering - we clustered people based on their #similarity regarding the #mental #models. Later, you can use this cluster variable as your #dependentvariable when you look at what #causes similarity between people. Or you can use the cluster variable as a predictor, i.e. look at the consequences for #like-minded people. If it is not fully clear from my talk (I was a bit too emotional about our #findings), feel free to read our #academic #paper!

Good luck with your investigations!

Hello, dear friends, colleagues, researchers, and students

In this episode, I talk about the #practicalsteps of #settingup a #causalmap in a #survey #software, such as @limesurvey, @qualtrics, or similar. After you have developed your theory and created a list of items, you need to know what to do with it and how to implement it in the available survey tool. 

Drop me an email, if you need the plugin - I believe I should have it somewhere ;)

Good luck with your #research!

Hello and welcome

In this episode, I talk about how to #compare #causalmaps of two different people. There is a #formula that you can find in the papers that I list below. In the episode, I explain the logic behind the #measurement. Even though the procedure might look "scary", it is a simple calculation of the distances as you count the #distance between two dots on the #coordinatesystem. If you understand the logic behind the formula, you will quickly understand how the #calculation is performed.  

Good luck with your #investigation!

Hello and welcome to the next episode on my sub-channel "Research Methods"!

Indeed, we #analyse not only topics from #managementresearch but also how to conduct this #research. Today, I continue talking about a specific #researchmethod - Causal Mapping. #causalmapping is a method that allows you to depict a #mentalmodel of an individual and even compare different individuals based on their #mental model.

In this episode, I talk about two ways to develop a list of items for the further evaluation of mental models: based on qualitative interviews and based on literature.

Hello dear friends and listeners

It's been a while since I published an episode on #researchmethods. But the time has come! And today, we are going to talk about how to #measure how people think. We can approach this "how people think" via mental models - a network of concepts related to the object or event of interest.

What are the first things that come to your mind if you think of a "dog"? Write these words down. Ask somebody else the same question. Do you have identical lists of terms? Do they differ? Congratulations, you made your first step to #mentalmodel #measurement!

Enjoy, comment, subscribe, and share - it does matter!

Hello dear friends and colleagues

In this #podcast #episode, I am talking about the topic of #volition. I am finalising our #mini-series on #motivation and volition is a perfect topic for the final episode. Volition is about moving from "#willing" to "#acting". There is a model that we call the #rubicon model. As with the river Rubicon - those who crossed it, could conquer Rome - if you cross the border between wanting and acting, you will achieve your set #goal.

I hope you will find this episode interesting and help you to finally achieve your desired goals!

Dear listeners

In this episode, I give you an example of how to apply the #self-determination #theory of #motivation to situations of high uncertainty such as the running #warfare in #Ukraine. Once, I applied the theory and I think it helped one of the local organisations to better understand how to treat #immigrants running from war. 

I hope that you will enjoy this episode too! Don't forget to #sbuscribe, #comment, and #share - it does matter!

Dear listeners

In the previous episode of my podcast, we started talking about the there factors from the #self-dtermination #theory of #motivation as suggested by @Deci and @Ryan. Today, we continue elaborating on the topic. We talk about #relatedness and #autonomy and how they shape our motivation to walk the extra mile. Have you ever thought about why we #hate #deadlines? In this episode, I talk about this issue too.
