Objective and research question: Most of the organizations in the 21st century have faced challenges concerning organizational change for cooperative extension in the 21st century.

This study aims to analyze and correlate the outcome of two competency models which are academic extension model and HRM extension.  The objectives are to examine both of these models to find some similarities and differences between the two of them, to analyze the combined outcome for the education sector and to identify the gaps in this research.

 Method – For this study three parts were considered. Firstly, the national Delphi study which will regulate the education extension competencies for educators. Secondly, the study will develop a competency model about human resource management for all the workers and thirdly, a combination of findings from both of the above-mentioned studies.

Findings and discussion – The research details of this article show that the competencies from the academic extension model and human resource extension model overlap. Competency methods are essential for human resource management as well as education development. Competencies are the collection of certain dimensions like skills of a person, his knowledge, attitude, behaviour, etc. All these are important for an organization or an educational institute to run efficiently. Competency act as a guideline for the organizations so that the employees can focus their strengths and capabilities and enhance them with various training and development programs. The similarities between both the models indicate that professional development and education extension are going in the same direction but the academic model has some unique traits. For instance, understanding stakeholders, as well as communities, can be applied for education model competency. Both of these models were more similar and did not have much of a difference. The human resource management extension model can be used to describe competency. Both, Human resource management extension model and education extension model had similar competencies. The Human resource management extension model is appropriate to describe the competencies. This study confirms that competencies are important for various educational programs and can be used for extraordinary performance at work. This study has certain limitations, for instance, the two-competency model that was considered for this research was developed using varied methods and also the data was collected from varied groups.

Conclusion  

The objective of this research was to analyze and correlate two competency models determined from the latest research in the Cooperative Extension System. To understand the competencies in a better way further research is required to examine the competency of employees who are high performers in the organization.

Article 4

Full reference for the article: Thirkell, E., & Ashman, I. (2014). Lean towards learning: connecting Lean Thinking and human resource management in UK higher education. The International Journal Of Human Resource Management25(21), 2957-2977. doi: 10.1080/09585192.2014.948901

 

Objective and research question: – This study aims to analyze some of the latest adjustments about university funding in the UK considering the increasing level of competition and economic conditions have led to enhanced quality and reduction in costs. Due to this scenario, the higher education sector is implementing quality concepts like Total quality management, business process reengineering and most importantly lean thinking for various activities. Lean principles are being considered important to solve the problems in the education sector and also to enhance the activities.

Method -Evidence for this research was collected from case studies in higher education institutions in the United Kingdom. The first one is the traditional university and the second one is the modern university. For the analysis evidence from both the institutions were collected in the form of internal reports, meeting details, and training materials. apart from this interview was also scheduled to understand the scenario in a better way.

Findings and discussion –The findings indicate that both the cases of universities, traditional and modern have different methods to manage their resources and also to a different approach to implement lean thinking principles, especially when it comes to training the employees and skill development strategies.  For example, the traditional university required its participants to apply plan do check act for all their practices which are derived from Total quality management. In a traditional university, the approach to lean principles was operations for impacted workers. But despite different approaches towards implementation of lean principles the outcome for both the universities was similar. The data collected for the research included a wide range of challenges about the application of Lean Thinking principles for higher education in the UK. But in the case of both the universities, Lean Thinking had limited analysis across functions and tasks and also confined analysis of application when it comes to demonstration of the change in working practices and their outcomes. It was found that the staff members were facing certain difficulties and were struggling to adopt the practices of lean principles for their work environment but not for outside operations. It’s evident from the study that both the universities, traditional and modern lacked clarity when it comes to understanding the concept and principles of Lean thinking. Thus, the implementation of Lean Thinking practices for higher education in the UK might not be a success due to less conceptual clarity.

Conclusion –This study argues that Lean Thinking for higher education in the UK can suffer from a lack of clarity because of which it cannot be implemented successfully by both traditional and modern universities. Lack of human resource professionals from the initial stage of the Lean Thinking process will lead to poor management and negative outcome for the universities.

How this article will contribute to my Essay 3. -This article helped me to understand Lean thinking practices which can be implemented for higher education as it will lead to a successful outcome. But before implementing this principle the universities need to understand thus principles correctly because only then it will be implemented correctly and will lead to a positive outcome.
