    (Taylor and Francis Group on behalf of the World Communication Association, 2024-06-17) Croucher SM; Rocker K; Singh R; Feekery A; Ashwell D; Green M; Murray N; Anderson K
    This study examined the link between organizational commitment (OC) and burnout during COVID-19 in New Zealand and the United States. Results revealed OC and burnout differed between the U.S. and New Zealand. In addition, the correlations between OC and the dimensions of burnout differed between the nations, particularly on issues linked with emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment. These results point to the influence of lockdowns and other physical limitations on burnout and commitment in organizations. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed, as well as areas for future research.

    The 7 C’s framework for participatory action research: inducting novice participant-researchers
    (Taylor and Francis Group on behalf of Educational Action Research, 2024) Feekery A
    A key aspect of engaging in a large participatory action research (PAR) project is ensuring that novice participant-researchers have a general understanding of the PAR methodology. Lead researchers experienced in action research cannot expect novice participant-researchers to engage fully with the literature on PAR, but rather need a simple way to ensure their collaborative partners understand the research process they have committed to. This paper presents ‘The 7Cs of Participatory Action Research’ framework, a clear model that both novice action researchers and participant-researchers could use as a starting point for identifying key action research experts and identifying their own unique PAR approach relevant to their context. The framework provides a brief overview of the literature related to each concept and poses a series of questions that can inform the planning phase of the research so that participant-researchers can visualise putting PAR methodology into practice.

    The influence of host receptivity and conformity pressure on the intercultural transformation of Filipino migrants in New Zealand
    (Elsevier B.V., 2024-12-17) Separa LAC; Croucher SM; Hodis GM; Feekery A
    Filipinos are the second fastest-growing Asian population working in dairy farming, healthcare, construction, and other industries in New Zealand. Like other immigrants, Filipinos experience basic and advanced intercultural transformation as they communicate and interact with people in the country. Croucher and Kramer's cultural fusion theory proposes a positive relationship between host receptivity and intercultural transformation and a negative relationship between host conformity pressure and intercultural transformation. Employing a survey of 315 Filipino migrants in New Zealand, this study addresses the extent to which host receptivity and host conformity pressure affect intercultural transformation. Regression analysis is used to assess the hypotheses and research question. Results reveal both host receptivity and host conformity pressure have positive relationships with intercultural transformation. The potential role of media and Filipino values in this study are also discussed.
