Scientists have named surfing the internet at work cyberloafing

Scientists have named surfing the internet at work cyberloafingScientists have named surfing the internet at work cyberloafingWhen the workday drags on, we may turn to the wonders of the world wide web for a spark of entertainment.Now, scientists in a new study published inComputers in Human Behavior have a term for it cyberloafing, or personal use of the internet during working hours. Bosses who catch us scrolling through Instagram may see this as a sign of laziness, but the researchers want us to rethink this, finding it to be a natural coping mechanism to workplace boredom.We cyberloaf to get through boring daysWhen the researchers surveyed 463 university personnel, they found that cyberloafing correlated with low workloads. People who cyberloafed were more likely to say their work was boring and monotonous. They were more likely to get mentally sluggish during the day.In other words, cyberloafing is a way for employees to cope with feeling underused and disengaged at work and is not necessarily a destructively counterproductive work behavior. The researchers called it an interest-enhancing behavior or a boredom coping strategy.When you see employees scrolling endlessly through their phones at work, recognize that its a sign that they are feeling disengaged with the job.Cyberloafing can be used as an indication of boredom on the job, and training efforts can be made to channel employees efforts into more productive outlets such as job crafting or enriching, the researchers conclude.So, next time you catch yourself looking at your phone to get through the doldrums of the work day, see it as a wake-up call that your workload needs to change.

Honing Additive Manufacturing Skills

Honing Additive Manufacturing Skills Honing Additive Manufacturing Skills Honing Additive Manufacturing SkillsArizona State University manufacturing engineering majors work on real-world additive manufacturing problems thanks to a new, 15,000-square-foot research facility devoted to the technique at the universitys Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering Polytechnic campus in Mesa, AZ.The university is home to one of only 21 manufacturing engineering undergraduate degree programs in the U.S. and the new center gives those students a chance to hone their skills through project-based learning, says Malcolm Green, who helped establish the new four-year program.During his time at Arizona State, Green, now executive director of the Arizona Manufacturing Partnership, worked to obtain industry sponsorships to fund new academic and research programs in additive manufacturing in which the students can participate. The facility results from an ASU partnership with Concept Laser, Honeywell, Strata sys, and Phoenix Analysis and Design Technologies.The $2-million additive manufacturing center will extend those opportunities, he adds.Aerospace engineering student Brittany Nez holding Electron Beam Melting manufactured bars. Image Jessica Slater/ASUTheres an insufficient talent pipeline going into manufacturing engineering and unterstellung companies need knowledge about these new technologies, he says. They need to recruit the next generation of manufacturing professionals, so were serving the needs of industry and only through partnership can we do that.The advanced manufacturing lab, an example of one partnership launched in 2015, houses around 25 3D printing systems that can print polymers, metals, and composites.Besides equipment, the facility offers advanced processing and analysis capabilities for use by students, faculty, and industry partners, Green says.Both industrial partners and students use the machines for a number of research and development activities, including alloy development, ceramics direct sintering, and acoustic meta-material research, as well as prototyping of complex mechanical components, says Ann McKenna, director of the polytechnic.With so few of these types of centers, this really positions us regionally to be the go-to place that can work with academic partners, federal agencies and industry to advance a new and emerging field, says Ann McKenna, director of the Polytechnic School.For its part, Honeywell Aerospace outsources to the center the research and development that cant currently be staffed.We want to use the ASU lab to engage students to help us understand the science behind some of the things were doing, says Donald Godfrey, engineering fellow for additive manufacturing at Honeywell Aerospace.Honeywell plans to bring metal additive manufacturing techniques into its future product-making portfolio and, to that end, operate four additive manufacturing technology centers around the world, including the Arizona center. Th e others are located in Bangalore, India the Czech Republic and Shanghai, China.The center can be used for other projects that match industry initiatives with student-led research and development. For instance, students in the program teamed for 2015 fall semester with Local Motors of Phoenix, to research and test materials that could be used to 3D printed automotive test parts, says John Rogers, the companys founder and chief executive officer.Local Motors hopes to bring to market the first 3D printed automobile. The automaker introduces its first 3D printed car in 2014. Designs for a new vehicle are in progress in parallel with materials development and testing. The first models are expected to hit roads in 2017, Rogers adds.The students focused on designing, simulating,4 and fabricating a set of test structures and test systems to increase the inter-laminar strength of 3D printed automotive parts. Theyll also have access to Local Motors operations and itslarge-scale 3D printer.Te aming up with students allows us to get mora great minds involved in the project. Having more minds on a particular aspect of a project can help us find quick solutions to problems, says the companys vehicle systems engineer Tony Rivera.On the project, four mechanical engineering undergraduates found a way to help Local Motors strengthen the adhesion between the 3D printed layers by around 35 percent, needed to make the cars strong enough to be considered safe for highway driving.The Strati, a line of Local Motors printed cars, is made from ABS plastic reinforced with carbon fiber. The 3D printer melts down small pellets of the ABS plastic into a pliable material that the machine exudes in layers. The Stratis design calls for 212 layers of 3D-printed material, with layers securely adhering to one another.Through research and tests they carried out at the ASUs Polytechnic center and at Local Motors facilities, the team discovered that attaching a heat source just in front of the 3D p rinters nozzle warms the previous layer of ABS plastic enough to improve bond strength of the adhesion by more than 35 percent.These findings can be refined to further strengthen the material, Rogers says.As his companys partnership with the students will be ongoing, he anticipates a spate of discoveries that will help Local Motors get on the road faster. The discoveries will come thanks, in part, to the universitys new additive manufacturing center.Jean Thilmany is an independent writer.Learn more about the issues and challenges associated with every step of the additive manufacturing lifecycle at AM3D.

Turn Good Recruiting into Great Recruiting

Turn Good Recruiting into Great RecruitingTurn Good Recruiting into Great RecruitingTurn Good Recruiting into Great Recruiting Monroe, author of Untapped Talent Unleashing the Power of the Hidden Workforce (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013)The stack of resumes, list of phones calls, or scheduled interviews await your attention as a job recruiter who knows the industry and employer. However, youre not excited about your to-do list.Instead, youre wondering how you always seem to attract the same type of acceptable candidate viable professionals who fit in the company culture with reasonable expectations of kompetenz success but who fall short of presenting the talent wow factor that results in a win-win for all.There is another way of approaching your recruiting strategy. It begins by accepting that recruiting is as much of an art as it is a science.Science, technology and computers can identify candidates based on buzz words, social networking preferences and online resume posting. Yet recr uitment is also the art of determining what makes a candidate that special one.The human komponente of recruiting is learned over time with a mindset that allows you to see the varied untapped talents of an individual, as opposed to the literal details of a resume.This success mindset has everything to do with you how you think and how you behave from the moment the candidate enters the talent management process.Are you willing to hit the refresh button on how you think about and attract potential candidates?How Habits Thwart Fresh LeadsAs humans we tend to develop patterns and ways of working that result in mental short cuts to our answers and decisions. Theres nothing wrong with this, its the natural way the brain works. The unconscious side of our brain deals with whats familiar and easy. The conscious side deals with differences.We can miss or devalue peoples experiences, their life situations or even people that are different, because the unconscious brain is responding to wh ats familiar.Naturally our conscious brain can be overridden by our unconscious brain. Over time, we are on automatic pilot and our ability to let in new information becomes limited.What does this have to do with sourcing and recruiting candidates? ur ability to find different candidates from different sources becomes limited because we naturally go with whats familiar and yes, whats easy.For example, lets say youre reviewing the resume of a candidate who has attended a college in Europe and a school in California for a Massachusetts-based professional opportunity. Youre based in New England and know that your organization has a propensity for hiring people from the Ivy leagues in the Northeast and other competitive New England-based institutions.You stop just for a second to consider the resume from California or Europe and then decide to keep looking. Your mental model of what will be acceptable to an organization can be useful, but it can also limit your candidate pool.Our work a s recruiters to tap hidden talent begins with expanding our worldview and embracing a new success mindset to approach the candidate selection process.Five Ways to Refresh your Recruitment StrategyBelow are five critical strategies that you may use to ensure that you are increasing and not limiting your sourcing and recruitment efforts1. Begin by assessing the biases youve created over time for finding the right candidate.When you consider a candidate thats qualified for a position, do you go beyond the skills and abilities and look at the whole candidate? Or, are you stuck because Mary has all the qualifications but you dont understand her path to success?People who come from non-traditional backgrounds have had to demonstrate new skills, resourcefulness, resilience and resolve to be successful. These are all examples of leadership traits that are in high-demand in todays marketplace.2.Look for talent that has reinvented itself.The crash of 2008 changed the lives of millions.People have had to change or suffer the unfortunate consequences. Youll discover talent with additional skills and life experiences that enhance their employee profile. These candidates demonstrate the skills, fluidity, versatility and the ability to deal with the complexity of change the top skills needed for solving complex issues that are presented for resolution daily.3.Learn to read an application differently. Look for whats not said on the resume. Ask interview questions that provide you with a strong sense of someones professional background and what motivates them. Think about how you have pre-judged the applicant only to discover in conversation new information that clarifies.4.Discover a candidates transferrable skills. Many people are hired for potential because they have eighty percent of the job skills but performed them in a different industry, job function, or time. Many people have the ability to translate their learning into different environments at very high levels.Hav e you heard of the athlete Vonetta Flowers?She began her career as a track and field athlete from Alabama. She tried for gold in the 1996 US Olympics and ended up as a gold medal-winning bobsled racer in the 2002 Winter Olympics she was the first African American woman to win a medal in the Winter Olympics. Vonetta was accepted by skilled bobsledders who knew she had the transferrable skills to succeed at the task.5.Search for talent in new areas. Recruiters today need to build relationships that take the LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook interactions to a deeper level by moving past name-gathering and profiles to actually creating new relationships that convey the depth of a persons knowledge and experiences.The employer is going to interview the person that a recruiter recommends, so highlight those factors that document the hidden talent factor of the candidate.Recruiters who want to move beyond presenting the familiar, traditionally-accepted candidates, will focus on the hidden ta lent factors that might be invisible to the untrained eye. This is a great time to quantify the untapped factors that may any candidate more valuable to the employer while also scoring a wow factor.Overall, as you refresh your abilities to look beyond the familiar, remember that good recruiters employ the tactical strategies that they already know. Great recruiters are curious and develop the ability to challenge their own biases about people.Above all, great recruiters find ways to quantify the untapped talent factors that will document new success for an organization.Its time to hit the refresh button and engage that outlier candidate who might be your clients next game changer.Author BioDani Monroe, author of Untapped Talent Unleashing the Power of the Hidden Workforce (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013), is President and Founder of Center Focus International, Inc.(CFI),one of the top in aller welt diversity practices in the US.She leads C-suite executives of Fortune 100 companies in glob al diversity, inclusion and organization effectiveness, favorably impacting their bottom lines, reputations, and business potential.

How Benevolent Sexism Hurts Us All - The Muse

How Benevolent Sexism Hurts Us All - The MuseHow Benevolent Sexism Hurts Us AllA few months ago, I wrote a column about a situation Ive experienced and witnessed more than Id care for being the only woman participating in a meeting or project- and thus being expected to become the teams default administrative assistant. This piece struck a chord with readers of both genders, and many shared experiences that, although not directly related to administrative tasks, fell into the category of unbestimmt or benevolent sexism. Even if youre not familiar with behauptung terms, youve fruchtwein likely witnessed them firsthand. Ambivalent or benevolent sexism refers to attitudes that view women and men in stereotypical roles, but feel positive or even complimentary in nature. Ambivalent or benevolent sexism usually originates in an idealization of traditional gender roles Women are naturally more kind, emotional, and compassionate, while men are naturally more rational, less emotional, and tou gher, mentally and physically. Translated into the workplace, ambivalent or benevolent sexism is behind the assumption that women are naturally better administrative assistants or naturally prepared to organize buying a gift for the boss. Because theyre better at it. Melanie Tannenbaum with Scientific American provides a great overview of why benevolent sexism can have long-lasting, negative impacts, but the bottom line is that even though the tone of these comments can seem benign- even complimentary- theyre indicative of an insulting, stereotypical worldview. For example, a few years ago, I welches at our offices holiday party. A male co-worker, lets call him John, baked and brought a pecan pie. Our director tasted it, then cheerfully walked around the rest of the party exclaiming, You have to try Johns pie. Its so good. And he made it himself His wife didnt even help This is a particularly good example of benevolent sexism because its efficient at insulting both men and women. Su re, the director was complimenting Johns cooking, but that doesnt mean that the comment isnt sexist. Moreover,the schwierigkeit isnt just that the director has an archaic view of which sex handles the cooking. What was more alarming, to me, was that this comment- combined with a variety of others spewed from this directors mouth- revealed an underlying assumption about what women and men are capable of and good at. And that assumption would play a part of the directors business decisions, from performance reviews to task delegation. As I said in Taking Notes Isnt Womens Work, I hesitate to write a how-to about responding to benevolent sexism because doing so implies that righting the wrongs of these comments is the responsibility of the people hurt by them. But, that being said, I do think its our (and by our I mean that of professional people who hear, overhear, and can identify benevolent sexism) responsibility to call these comments out for what they are and force the speaker to really think about the (potentially subconscious) stereotypes underlying his or her words.So, again, acknowledging that these strategies are short-term fixes to a long-term cultural problem, Ive collected a few responses that will help you tactfully handle these situations. And, for the sole sake of column length, lets abbreviate benevolent sexism to BS.Scenario 1 A BS Comment is Directed at YouWhen one of these comments is leveled at you, the goal of your response should be three-fold 1) Help the speaker realize the implications of his or her words, 2) demonstrate that youre the type of mature professional who demands to be measured by achievements, not gender or appearance, and 3) wrap things up quickly, because you have work to do. For example, more times than I can count, an older male colleague has apologized to me or to the ladies in the room after using profanity. Maybe, in his mind, hes being polite, repeating a ritual that hes seen performed for generations. But to me, and to many women, hes classifying us as a different class, a delicate group people of who arent cut out to hear some types of language. Ive had the chance to test out a few different responses to this one, and Ive found that saying, No need to apologize. There arent any children in the room, seems to work best, because it calls out the condescending undertones of the remark without extending the conversation further. Men have to deal with this type of situation, too. When Taking Notes Isnt Womens Work was initially published, a reader commented that as a large, athletic guy, he was once asked to deal with a homeless person who had wandered into the building and was camping out in the restrooms. Though I dont know how the reader responded, I would have suggested offering to call someone more equipped to handle the situation- like security or the police or a mental health professional, therefore calling attention to the fact that having a Y chromosome and a pair of biceps doesnt prepare (or require) someone to deal with a potentially dangerous situation.Scenario 2 You Witness a BS Comment Aimed at an Absent PartyA few years ago, I was in a Monday morning status meeting when a company executive expressed that we should reassign one of my female colleagues from phone-based customer tafelgeschirr role to a direct sales position because she was so pretty and attractive, and clients would really respond to her. The difficult part about these types of BS comments is that they come across as complimentary. He was, after all, proposing that she be promoted. When we hear remarks like these, which judge women (or men) based on traits that have historically been prized as the feminine or masculine ideal, its tempting to just brush it off and move on. And, admittedly, in this particular situation, I did. But I regret ignoring it, because it further validated the executives assumption that the women who worked for him were mostly valuable for their appearances and bodies, not f or their skills or the quality of their work. And it allowed him to conclude that everyone sitting in the room agreed with him. What I should have done, and what I would suggest doing in this situation, is point out all the reasons she was actually qualified for the promotion- like her problem solving skills or success in growing accounts once theyve been closed. And, hopefully, once I had taken this first step, other people at the table would have chimed in with similar sentiments. Scenario 3 You Realize Youve Just Said (or Thought About) Something Thats BSTo be honest, this happens to the best of us. Weve grown up in a society teeming with outright sexism (what researchers call hostile sexism), and weve internalized its messages. As a result, even women and men who speak out against sexism can find themselves participating in benevolent or ambivalent sexism. When this happens to you, use it as an opportunity to analyze your own internal thought processes, consider how cultural ste reotypes continue to inform your thinking, and think about how those thoughts might be hindering you professionally and personally.Let me share my own shameful example. During graduate school, I worked part-time at a womens clothing store for extra cash. On a busy day during the holidays, a customer asked me to quickly ring up her purchase, explaining to me that she was in a rush because she really needed to get back to work at the university hospital. I responded, Oh, Im sure you are so slammed during this time of year. Nurses are saints. Actually, Im a doctor, she responded.I stood in stunned, guilty silence. There I was, a graduate student who was writing a thesis about how sex education informs our conceptions of gender identity, who read feminist theory for fun, who had just marched around the capitol for an equal rights demonstration, and I had assumed that if a woman worked at a hospital, she was a nurse. Moments like these prove that we cant just ignore ambivalent or hostile sexism and hope they simply fade away over time. We have to actively un-learn them because theyve permeated our culture so deeply. These comments arent slip-ups theyre evidence of underlying ideas about gender, and its those origins that we need to access and uproot.When I talk about ambivalent or benevolent sexism to friends and family, Im often told that Im overreacting. I hear a lot of Thats not really sexist, and Well, lets just live in a world where no one can say anything nice to women everBut research shows that ambivalent sexism has lasting, harmful effects. First, the presence and acceptance of ambivalent sexism usually coincides with the acceptance of hostile sexism, according to Peter Glick and Susan Fiske, the researchers who really started breaking ground on ambivalent sexism in the mid-1990s. They found that in countries where the men were likely to condone benevolent sexism, men had longer life expectancies, were more educated, had higher literacy rates, made more mo ney, and were more politically active than women. Melanie Tannenbaum summarizes the research of a more recent study by Julia Becker and Stephen WrightIn a series of experiments, women were exposed to statements that either illustrated hostile sexism (e.g., Women are too easily offended) or benevolent sexism (e.g., Women have a way of caring that men are not capable of in the same way). The results are quite discouraging when the women read statements illustrating benevolent sexism, they were less willing to engage in anti-sexist collective action, such as signing a petition, participating in a rally, or generally acting against sexism. So, while we might feel like a hostile sexism is fading as we become a more equal society, the effects of hostile sexism are being carried on by ambivalent sexism. And one could argue, as Tannenbaum does, that ambivalent sexism is replacing hostile sexism with the same results Because it hides under the guise of compliments, its easy to use benevolent sexism to demotivate people against collective action or convince people that there is no longer a need to fight for equality.Dont be fooled Ambivalent sexism isnt acceptable, and it can lead to a workplace culture that characterizes women as delicate flowers and men as macho meatheads. Its effects are negative for people of all gender identities. So, when you encounter benevolent sexism, dont just shrug it off. Call it what it is, and respond accordingly.

L. 10 0-9, which selected the month of March 1987 as Womens History Month.Wikipedia explains that during this month each year people around the world celebrate the contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society. The U.S., UK, and Australia all celebrate during the month of March, corresponding withzwischenstaatlich Womens Day on March 8 (which started in 1911).Trend 1 Women sharks on the riseShark Tank is a popular U.S. TV show that showcases a growing trend in the U.S. toward entrepreneurship. Are women parteicipating in this movement?Yes. I am very excited about the reports and updates from the Kaufmann Institute, The Small Business Administration (SBA), and modern day shows like Shark Tank as it confirms that women (and men) of all ages have many career options and starting and owning a business is a viable option.Women-owned businesses present the fastest growing segments in the U.S. economy they grew 44 percent from 1997-2007, which is two times as fast as male owned firms.There are 7.8 mio women-owned businesses in the U.S. and 88 percent are small businesses.Around 8.6 million women-owned firms generate 1.3 trillion in revenue and employ 7.8 million people.In the past year, women started more than 200,000 businesses (550 per day/23 hr).VC firms that invest in women-led businesses performed better than all men-led businesses, according to theSBA Office of Advocacy.Trend 2 Women in the drivers seatMary Barra becoming the CEO of General Motors was recent news however, the number of women as CEOs in Fortune 500 firms are not increasing as fast as women hoped. What is your perspective on women taking control of the drivers seat?According to the Catalyst group, women currently hold4.6 percent of Fortune 500 CEO positions and 4.6 percent of Fortune 1000 CEO positions.I think it is important to look at trends that are occurring in real time. For example in the 2000s we have seen women pursue and move into leadership and Fortune 500 firms CEO rol es such as-Meg Whitman (Ebay 1998-2008) who ran for governor (2010) and then become the CEO of HP in 2011-Ginny Rommety CEO IBM (2012)-Marisa Mayer CEO Yahoo(2012) and now-Mary Barra (Jan 2014) and upcoming Susan N. Storywill become CEO of American Water Works Company, Inc. on May 9, 2014.Just looking at Fortune 500-100 firms, a study by Grant Thornton indicates that pipeline is importanthigher percentages increase the likelihood and line positions. Womens expectations have increased. (Women in senior management, 2013)I view that women are moving into the driver seat in Fortune 500 firms but I think they are already there in non- Fortune 500 firms and that is where the job growth is in the U.S. Trend 3 Young firms offer jobs for womenCan you explain your statement on young firms as leadership opportunities for women?I think it is important for us to look at where job creation is coming from for us to understand where the leadership trend is heading and will be in the future. Accordi ng to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the younger firms (under 5 years) are the more jobs they create regardless of size.This is an important trend to notenzeichen because many of us assumed that the only employment is with large firms when in reality the growth and opportunity is happening with young firms of all sizes.Trend 4 Women are going for the goldWe just watched the Sochi Olympics and you note that women are going for the gold.

You might remember that American women teams accounted for 56 percent of the U.S. medals and 66 percent of the gold medals.

Women are going for the gold.Trend 5 Women are becoming tech he adsHow have women adapted to technology?The research shows that women are fast adopters of technology, particularly technology that they find useful such as mobile devices, social media, and online shopping.
