Employee Feedback Technologies

I found an interesting article on technologies used for employee feedback, referred to as employee feedback technologies. It is:

Employee feedback technologies in the human performance system, 2010

One of the technologies/techniques is 360-degree feedback. I was not familiar with it so I looked it up. I found a lot of resources on 360-degree systems for feedback. Here is an annotated bibliography on using 360-degree feedback in organizations:

This is an interesting topic!

Cross-Disciplinary Research

I found a great editorial on how to undertake great cross-disciplinary research:

How to undertake great cross-disciplinary research

I am all for cross-disciplinary research. In fact, it may be my "thing." I recall the different disciplines I touched on in my papers for the Research Methods course.
There was a paper on the decision to invest in people (human resources) vs. investing in technology to improve hand hygiene compliance. I discussed the impact of technology investment on performance or how technology may impact productivity and performance. This touches on technology as a factor of production (from economics). It also touches on finance since there is a rate of return of technology investments.
Another paper looked at how compensation of employees may affect the improvement of hand hygiene compliance and infection control. The relationship between compensation and performance was important. I used a lot of statistical analyses in the paper.

The blog for my Research Methods course that includes "under the hood" information on the papers is:

Contribution to Queen's Library

I recently contributed funds to the fundraising campaign of one of my PC friends who "helped me out" in NY (in Facebook). I am truly grateful for the assistance during my time of need.

I am thinking of contributing funds to the Queen's Library in New York - the main library I used in New York when I was stranded to research and write my PhD papers. I noticed the Donate button on their website that I visited just today.

My mother always encouraged me to say "thank you" to folks who assisted me in some way. I guess I get that from her. Come to think of it, my mother is the one who got me into creating greeting cards and design. In my (immediate) family, we made greeting cards to celebrate birthdays.

I wrote "very good" papers in New York. I recall the paper on HR Strategy at Google (screenshots of the paper-in-progress shown in this blog post: http://fmoorephdbus7110.blogspot.com/2018/09/paper-in-progress.html). For that paper, I needed to select a company to analyze their HR strategy. I wanted to focus on NY Transit, but that fell through. I stumbled upon Google. I found excellent resources in the library that made the difference. For example, I found an excellent book
that provided insights on Google's work rules (the last picture/image at the end of the blog post: http://fmoorephdbus7110.blogspot.com/2018/09/week-4-assignmentjournal-articles.html)

The general blog for the course showing "under the hood" information is: http://fmoorephdbus7110.blogspot.com/

Will contributing to the library present an ethical issue?
