Publications Database

Welcome to the new Schulich Peer-Reviewed Publication Database!

The database is currently in beta-testing and will be updated with more features as time goes on. In the meantime, stakeholders are free to explore our faculty’s numerous works. The left-hand panel affords the ability to search by the following:

  • Faculty Member’s Name;
  • Area of Expertise;
  • Whether the Publication is Open-Access (free for public download);
  • Journal Name; and
  • Date Range.

At present, the database covers publications from 2012 to 2020, but will extend further back in the future. In addition to listing publications, the database includes two types of impact metrics: Altmetrics and Plum. The database will be updated annually with most recent publications from our faculty.

If you have any questions or input, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Abstract
Purpose
Measuring and tracking health and well-being is challenging for organizations due to a lack of education linking outcomes to interventions and a disciplinary siloing of approaches and tools. To address this, this paper aims to explore adaptive and transdisciplinary design-research methods to develop an evidence-based holistic framework to measure health and well-being.
Design/methodology/approach
An interdisciplinary working group of researchers from academia and industry used a combination of adaptive and transdisciplinary approaches to develop a holistic framework for measuring health and well-being. The six-stage, iterative process drew on multiple theoretical models, frameworks, leading survey tools, thematic literature review and known gaps and barriers to healthy workplaces to create broad “competence areas” supported by domains, dimensions and conceptual models.
Findings
Five interconnected levels known to impact health and well-being were identified, within which 12 competencies are nested. Each competency is broad enough to enable benchmarking. Detailed domains and dimensions help organizations understand what to measure and track for health and well-being and can adapt as research evolves. The framework addresses industry gaps by connecting leading and lagging indicators to allow for a more systemic approach to measuring health and well-being.
Originality/value
Transdisciplinary and adaptive frameworks can support academic research while enabling immediate industry application. By focusing on core indicators for well-being across different disciplines, this framework increases feasibility and understanding, enables multiple tools/methods to be used in implementation and can adapt as methods and knowledge change. This can support organizational goals such as social governance responsibilities to measure and report on health and well-being.

Abstract This analysis of articles published in the International Journal of Business Anthropology during 2024 offers a glimpse of the research methods, contexts, and findings of the journal. Although the methods and content differ somewhat from the journal’s stated methods and focus, the articles provide a rich variety of studies of largely Asian and primarily Chinese anthropology which is now rebounding following the 1952-1979 silencing of anthropology and sociology in China as being a part of “bourgeois pseudo-science” (Malighetti 2019). As this sample of articles shows, anthropology is now alive and well in China, even though there is sometimes a subtext that may be read into articles that are ostensibly about another time and place. But this is real and sophisticated anthropology that is interesting and meaningful. It needs and deserves a broader set of readers and authors from adjacent fields focusing on less affluent consumers in Asia and elsewhere.
