AbstractLeadership and organizational culture significantly impact employees' work performance and job satisfaction, but less is known about employee health and well-being within a diverse work environment. This study systematically reviewed 23 studies published between 2007-2019 that addressed organizational culture, diversity/workplace, and employee health within North American social/human services organizations. Results highlighted three themes: 1) Organizational Culture within Social/Human Services, 2) Diversity and Workplace, and 3) Employee Health at the Intersection of Organizational Culture and Diversity. Conclusions emphasize the need for organizations to adjust to changing workforce demographics and promote an equitable workplace culture.

Despite constituting only about 1% of Ghana’s population, men who have sex with men (MSM) carry a disproportionate burden of HIV infections, constituting 18% of the population of people living with HIV in the country. Scholars have associated the disproportionate infection rates of HIV among MSM with existing structural factors (such as criminalization and stigma against MSM), and individual-level factors (such as sex without a condom, and transactional sex). Nonetheless, limited scholars consider intervention as an approach to reducing HIV and STI risk among MSM in the country. As such, in collaboration with community partners, we engaged MSM through the use of the ADAPT-ITT model to adapt the Many Men Many Voices (3MV) to address the needs of MSM. We addressed HIV/STD risk factors and ways to reduce HIV/STD infections. In this paper, we describe the use of the ADAPT-ITT model in the adoption and adaptation of the 3MV with MSM in Ghana. Whereas the 3MV was a good fit for our target population, we made modifications to fit the Ghanaian cultural setting by examining HIV and STD risk in the context of bisexuality, emphasizing on secrecy in location choice, and incorporating historical colonial setting in contextualizing sexuality and stigma in the Ghanaian sociocultural context. Our implementation process shows the efficacy of collaboration with community partners to implement culturally relevant interventions in HIV and STD prevention efforts in highly stigmatized environments.

The present article is based on an ethnographic research project exploring the constitution and reproduction of exchange relationships between residents and caregivers in Swiss nursing homes and elaborating on their significance within end-of-life trajectories. The results show that despite scarce personnel, time and cost resources in old-age long-term care, exchange relationships in the sense of non-liquidating transactions are of major significance both in daily interactions and in the context of acute dying in the nursing home. Residents as well as caregivers invest in relationships that build on an informal ‘giving and giving back’. Invested goods or services are manifold and often immaterial, both on the caregivers’ and on the residents’ side. The main informal investments are: 1) permitting affection and emotional involvement 2) sharing personal information, and 3) offering extra-time. The paper demonstrates how actors exchange these goods to establish an informal dimension in their care relationships and how this dimension may influence end-of-life practices in the nursing home. Focusing on informal parts in exchange relationships allows considering care relationships from a theoretical perspective that has gained little attention so far, both in anthropological exchange theory and in disciplines concerned with care relationships.

Following Dewey’s philosophy of experience that all our life events inform how we evolve, both personally and professionally, two educators reflect on their immigration experiences. Being uprooted from one’s place of birth to another, at an oftentimes turbulent stage of development, young people face challenges in finding their sense of belonging. We engage in creative writing to reflect on our respective experiences of immigration to Canada to support our scholarship of teaching and learning. Using Dewey’s three criteria of experience: continuity, relationship, and situation, and Connelly and Clandinin’s Narrative inquiry self-study framework, we delve deeper into understanding how the transplantation from one continent to another continues to impact who we are today as persons and professionals. This critical reflection is of further value to us as educators, because we also want to gain a greater appreciation for our students’ experiences, most of whom have lived the stories of immigration. In this way, we hope to more effectively support and encourage our students, not only to survive, but to thrive in their new landscape. We trust our work will, likewise, be of service to educators worldwide who want to engage in their own inquiry of personally significant life events, and thus support the same in their students.
