About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies Releases White Paper on Role of Psychological Capital in Employee Retention

By: via Business Wire

Dr. Joy Taylor reviews findings from 2024 Career Optimism Index to highlight how hope, efficacy, resilience and optimism function as psychological capital contributing to workforce retention

University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies releases a new white paper, “Psychological Capital: Impact of Hope, Efficacy, Resilience, and Optimism on Employee Retention,” authored by Joy Taylor, Ed.D., associate faculty at the College and senior research fellow in the Center for Workplace Diversity and Inclusion Research (CWDIR). The white paper focuses on key findings from the University of Phoenix Career Institute® 2024 Career Optimism Index® study to highlight how hope, efficacy, resilience and optimism function as psychological capital contributing to retention of the workforce.

Over subsequent years, the Career Optimism Index findings demonstrate a disconnect between employer and worker mindset regarding opportunities for advancement: in the 2024 study, 90% of employers in the survey felt their company provided workers with opportunities for advancement, compared to 69% of workers with the same impression.

“Hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism are not passive behavioral traits. They are open to development and can readily adapt and respond to relatively short training interventions,” states Taylor. “There is an opportunity for employers who have a clear understanding of what drives career hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism to address employee needs.”

The white paper highlights how psychological capital elements of hope, efficacy, resilience and optimism are portrayed through the Index findings and can help to promote positive thinking patterns. “These traits can be developed when employers intentionally provide proven support in the form of role models and mentors, professional development based on employee interests and priorities, building self-sufficient teams with adaptable leaders, investing in current and future talent and culture, and dynamic decision-making,” Taylor urges.

Taylor is an associate faculty of the College of Doctoral Studies at University of Phoenix and a former classroom teacher, school principal, and district administrator with nearly forty years of experience in K-12 education, who has worked with a wide range of school improvement stakeholders. A first-generation college graduate, Taylor fully embraces the role education, mentoring and strong relationships play in navigating a path to success in the world of public education. She earned her doctorate in Educational Leadership and Administration at Nova Southeastern University, and a master's in Educational Leadership and a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education at the University of Central Florida. Taylor is co-recipient of the inaugural University of Phoenix President’s Award for Excellence in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Research.

The full white paper is available on the Research Hub or as a direct link here.

About the Career Optimism Index®

The Career Optimism Index® study is one of the most comprehensive studies of Americans' personal career perceptions to date. The University of Phoenix Career Institute® conducts this research annually to provide insights on current workforce trends and to help identify solutions to support and advance American careers and create equity in the workplace. For the fourth annual study, fielded between December 5, 2023-January 2, 2024, surveyed more than 5,000 U.S. adults who either currently work or wish to be working on how they feel about their careers at this moment in time, including their concerns, their challenges, and the degree to which they are optimistic about their careers. The study was conducted among a nationally representative, sample of U.S. adults and includes additional analysis of the workforce in the top twenty DMA markets across the country to uncover geographic nuances. The study also explores insights from 501 U.S. employers to provide comparison between the workforce and those who hire, train, and retain them. Additionally, for the first time, a statistical modeling analysis was conducted to illustrate how employers and employees can benefit financially from investing in career optimism.
