PurposeThe purpose of this present study is to extend previous research on self‐leadership by investigating the relationship between self‐leadership and work role performance of team members, including individual task and team member proficiency, adaptivity, and proactivity. Moreover, it aims to examine the moderating role of collectivism.Design/methodology/approachOrganizational team members' self‐ratings of self‐leadership and six work role performance dimensions (i.e. individual task and team member proficiency, adaptivity, and proactivity, respectively) were collected in a cross‐sectional study and were analyzed using partial least squares modeling.FindingsResults indicate positive relationships between self‐leadership and proficiency, adaptivity and proactivity directed both at the individual task and the team. Results also suggest that collectivism moderated the relation between self‐leadership and team member proficiency.Practical implicationsManagerial implications for personnel selection, leadership, training, and organizational development efforts are provided.Originality/valuePrevious research is extended by providing first evidence of self‐leadership's relationship with a differentiated set of individual task and team member work roles including adaptive and proactive performance aspects.

Carbon monoxide poisoning remains common in the United States. One component of effective prevention involves identification of scenarios in which poisoning occurs to guide development of appropriate interventions. This study was conducted to determine the significance of the problem of carbon monoxide poisoning occurring in US hotels, motels and resorts. This is a population-based case series of guests staying at US hotels, motels, and resorts from 2005 to 2018. Details of incidents and individuals poisoned with carbon monoxide were collected from online searches and professional experience of the authors. Data extracted included number of incidents and individuals poisoned, age of those poisoned, outcomes, source of carbon monoxide, and lodging type. From January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2018, 905 guests were poisoned in 115 identified incidents, including 22 fatalities. Children represented 16% of those poisoned and 27% of fatalities. Type of lodgings were hotels, motels, and resorts of all classes and located in a majority of states. Most poisonings were caused by natural gas fueled appliances and could likely have been prevented by an in-room carbon monoxide alarm. To reduce morbidity and mortality from unintentional CO poisoning in lodging facilities, government should mandate installation of in-room CO alarms, similar to the current requirement for smoke alarms.

Im Projekt EUROSTUDENT werden Daten zu den sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen des Studierens in Europa erhoben. Der Band präsentiert die Daten und Ergebnisse einer aktuellen Studierendenbefragung in 28 Ländern des Europäischen Hochschulraums. Der Bericht ist die wichtigste Publikation des Projektes, das von Forschenden, Datensammelnden, Vertreter:innen nationaler Ministerien und anderen Akteuren aus ganz Europa umgesetzt wird. Der Projektbericht bereitet ein breites Informationsspektrum auf. Dazu gehören Daten zum Zugang zu höherer Bildung, zu Studienbedingungen, zur internationalen Mobilität der Studierenden, zur Qualität von Studiengängen und zu geplanten Studienprogrammen. Mit den Ergebnissen will die Projektgruppe bildungspolitische Debatten anregen und die Basis für künftige Forschungsarbeit legen.

The EUROSTUDENT V - Synopsis of Indicators is the central publication of the EUROSTUDENT project and the result of the collaboration of a European-wide network including researchers, data collectors, representatives of national ministries, and other stakeholders. It comprises data from student surveys conducted in 29 countries in the European Higher Education Area during the fifth round of the EUROSTUDENT project. Adopting a broad, comparative perspective, the EUROSTUDENT V - Synopsis of Indicators provides information on topic areas such as access to higher education, study conditions, as well as international student mobility, assessment of studies, and future plans with the aim of inspiring policy debates and laying the ground for further research.

Das EUROSTUDENT-Projekt sammelt und analysiert vergleichbare Daten über die soziale Dimension der europäischen Hochschulbildung. Es wird eine breite Palette von Themen im Zusammenhang mit den sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen der Studierenden abgedeckt. Das Projekt ist bestrebt, zuverlässige und aufschlussreiche länderübergreifende Vergleiche zu liefern. Dies geschieht durch die Verbindung eines zentralen Koordinationsansatzes mit einem starken Netzwerk von nationalen Partnern in jedem teilnehmenden Land. Auf diese Weise kann eine Bewertung der Stärken und Schwächen der jeweiligen nationalen Rahmenbedingungen im internationalen Vergleich vorgenommen werden. Die Hauptnutzer unserer Ergebnisse sind hochschulpolitische Entscheidungsträger auf nationaler und europäischer Ebene, Forscher auf diesem Gebiet, Manager von Hochschuleinrichtungen und - natürlich - Studierende in ganz Europa.
