12. The Challenges of Evaluating Large-Scale, Multi-Partner Programmes: The Case of NIHR CLAHRCs

Author

Abstract

The limited extent to which research evidence is utilised in healthcare and other public services is widely acknowledged. The United Kingdom government has attempted to address this gap by funding nine Collaborations for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care (CLAHRCs). CLAHRCs aim to carry out health research, implement research findings in local healthcare organisations and build capacity across organisations for generating and using evidence. This wide-ranging brief requires multifaceted approaches; assessing CLAHRCs' success thus poses challenges for evaluation. This paper discusses these challenges in relation to seven CLAHRC evaluations, eliciting implications and suggestions for others evaluating similarly complex interventions with diverse objectives.

43. Understanding (disabled people) ghosts in professional work: The contribution of feminist research

Abstract

The expansion of the professional workforce across developed and developing economies has been accompanied by a concomitant growth in the employment of women and disabled workers (Muzio and Tomlinson, 2012). Evidence nonetheless suggests that inequalities, bias, and perceptions of lack of ‘fit’, continue to endure, particularly within traditional professions such as law, accountancy and medicine (Heilman, Manzi and Braun, 2015; Levin, et al., 2015; Muzio and Tomlinson, 2012). As such, it is argued, professionalization should be viewed as a political project (Larson, 1977) and, while it has long been acknowledged that inequalities stemming from gender and race, are as a consequence of the politics of professionalization (MacDonald, 1995), the position of disabled people has largely been ignored. This chapter explores why disabled people remain largely absent in debates on professionalization, even though it is acknowledged that diversity and inclusion is now an important part of the contemporary professional discourse (Ashcraft et al., 2012). It will examine what disabled people can learn from the past and current struggles of women in professions and the contribution that gender theory can make to the investigation of disability in professional work settings.

Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of coaching to develop female entrepreneurship by overcoming potential barriers. It sought to understand how entrepreneurial self-efficacy can be applied to development relationships, through on-line coaching, examining changes in the four key elements of entrepreneurial self-efficacy enactive mastery, vicarious experiences, social persuasion and psychological arousal. The study examines the impact of coaching relationships on female entrepreneurial self-efficacy compared to a control group. The participant group was matched with coaches and undertook a structured six months’ coaching programme. Design/methodology/approach – This was a longitudinal study using a mixed methods approach. Questionnaires investigating entrepreneurial self-efficacy were collected at two time points for both the coaching and control group. After the first time point, the coaching group was supported through a six months coaching development programme. At the second time point, questionnaires were again completed by both groups and qualitative data gather via interviews with the coaching group. Findings – The findings from this study showed that coaching relationships had a positive impact on coachees’ entrepreneurial self-efficacy, compared to the control group in terms of enactive mastery, vicarious experience, social persuasion and psychological arousal. This suggests that coaching is a development intervention which can be used to enhance self-efficacy beliefs of female entrepreneurs, thereby increasing their chances of engaging in successful business creation and operation. Research limitations/implications – The group size was a problem, with four of the coaching group and ten of the control group dropping out. The coaching participants left the intervention due to personal reasons but no reason could be established for the control group participants leaving the study. The problem of ‘Type II’ was considered and in an attempt to overcome this problem, data were shown at below 10% (p
