Publishing research is one way of disseminating knowledge for a discipline and practice. Sponsored journals, such as Performance Improvement Quarterly (PIQ), sponsored by the International Society for Performance Improvement (ISPI), disseminate knowledge for members and practitioners to apply new knowledge in their place of work.

Several gatekeepers review this knowledge before it can be published. Not only must this knowledge meet the rigors of research, but it must also apply to the field of performance improvement and associated areas of study

Psychological abuse as a form of domestic violence against working women is prevalent but underreported almost all over the world. The present study was conducted to examine the relationship between domestic psychological abuse and burnout, and how psychological resilience mediates between them. One thousand married teachers from private secondary schools were selected through purposive sampling. Study results demonstrated that there is a relationship between domestic psychological abuse against working women and burnout, and that psychological resilience has a positive supportive effect in overcoming depersonalization among these women, yet the study also showed a lack of significant intervention in the relationship between psychological abuse and depersonalization of working women. This study confirms the absence of total or partial mediation to address psychological abuse and depersonalization of working women.

Some institutions assess the professional development needs of teaching faculty by surveying their interests in teaching topics. In contrast, we sought an explanation of teaching needs that could inform a more comprehensive needs assessment addressing motivations for teaching, challenges from learners, preferred strategies to address challenges, and barriers to using them. We conducted three focus groups of faculty from a university and a feeder college. We found that faculty were motivated by validating interactions with learners and challenged by incoming cohorts with diverse attitudes and abilities. Faculty preferred to consult peers, experiment in class, and offload tasks, but they were undermined by poor communication, bureaucracy, risk management, and limited resources. Faculty persisted with existing approaches until they faced burnout. Female faculty disproportionately reported being motivated by learner impact and challenged by mixed ability classrooms and lack of time. Our model prompts institutions to define and explore faculty teaching needs in terms of validating interactions with learners that are enhanced or diminished by incoming cohorts, preferred strategies, and institutional barriers. As such, faculty development must address each of those multiple, interacting influences.

This study explored (a) the design of a public social system fulfilling its federally mandated purposes; and (b) the utility of visualization in the strategic planning of that system. First, a modified Delphi survey of 18 executive directors and board members of local workforce development areas was conducted. Second, from qualitative survey data collected, a textual definition of the system was developed and a visual model (systemigram) of an ideal local workforce development area was designed. Third, 12 participants viewed the systemigram and were asked about the utility of such a model for strategic planning purposes. Eighteen participants completed 3 rounds of the modified Delphi. Round 1 of the modified Delphi included a Kendall's W of 0.37. Rounds 2 and 3 resulted in a Kendall's W of 0.41. Results from interviews with participants indicated that overall, a visual model would be useful for strategic planning in the workforce development system.
