enhancing program quality in a national sample of after school settings the role of youth staff interactions and staff Organizational Functioning
American Journal of Community Psychology, 2019Co-Authors: Gabriel P. Kuperminc, Scot Seitz, Hannah Joseph, Nadim Khatib, Christyl Wilson, Krista Collins, Omar GuessousAbstract:Using multilevel data from the national evaluation of Boys and Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), this study examined associations among programmatic structures, workplace and workforce characteristics, and relational practices of program staff as they relate to young people's ratings of their experience attending local clubs. The sample included 57,710 members and 5,231 staff members at 740 BGCA sites throughout the United States. Staff relational practices-including establishing caring relationships, setting high expectations, positive behavior management, encouraging youth input and agency, and cultural sensitivity-explained associations between staffing and Organizational Functioning and youths' perceptions of the quality of their clubs. Findings suggest a central role of staff relational practices in establishing conditions that youth experience positively, and that staffing and Organizational processes, including community engagement and teamwork and efficiency can be viewed as foundations for establishing a culture of positive adult-youth interaction, which in turn can contribute to the promotion of positive youth development. Further, identification with the experiences of youth had a direct association with youths' perceptions of club quality. These results underscore the importance of staff workforce development initiatives as key to improving youth experiences in after-school programs.

Valuing Internal vs. External Knowledge: Explaining the Preference for Outsiders
Management Science, 2003Co-Authors: Tanya Menon, Jeffrey PfefferAbstract:This paper compares how managersvalue knowledge from internal and external sources. Although many theories account for favoritism toward insiders, we find that preferences for knowledge obtained from outsiders are also prevalent. Two complementary case studies and survey data from managers demonstrate the phenomenon of valuing external knowledge more highly than internal knowledge and reveal some mechanisms through which this process occurs. We found evidence that the preference for outsider knowledge is the result of managerial responses to (1) the contrasting status implications of learning from internal versus external competitors, and (2) the availability or scarcity of knowledge-internal knowledge is more readily available and hence subject to greater scrutiny, while external knowledge is more scarce, which makes it appear more special and unique. We conclude by considering some consequences of the external knowledge preference for Organizational Functioning.

Assessment of role effectiveness of farmers’ advisory committee (FAC) and Organizational Functioning of ‘ATMA’ project in Gurdaspur district of Punjab - an overview
Journal of research, 2007Co-Authors: Gurpreet Kaur, Ashish GuptaAbstract:The present study was undertaken to investigate the role effectiveness of Farmers’ Advisory Committee (FAC) under the Agricultural Technology Management Agency (ATMA) project in Gurdaspur district of Punjab. All the extension functionaries and block level officers were found instrumental in solving the farm related problems of the respondents and this was increased to 80.39 percent during the post project period. The composition of FAC members, and the frequency and duration of meetings were not found satisfactory as per the stipulated norms of ATMA. It was disgusting to note that only 29.60 per cent members could be enrolled in FAC vis-a-vis stipulated quota as per ATMA norms in the study area. The average attendance of FAC members in the meetings was 78.38 percent. Most of them attended 20–40 meetings only out of a total of 60 meetings held in a year in the five study blocks. All of them quoted personal/family compulsions and non-payment of DA/TA as reasons for not attending meetings. They however had good knowledge of FAC norms about such matters. The Organizational Functioning was reported as good, but still improvement was needed to be made for making ATMA project more effective in future.
