集团化联合办学势在必行

技工学校的发展直接受到经济体制的制约，市场经济的运行规律将对其产生直接作用。在市场经济条件下，技工学校必须与社会需求和劳动力市场紧密相联，其培养方向、专业设置、教学内容安排等都应满足社会经济发展和劳动力市场的动态变化，以使劳动力供需结构和劳动力素质结构适应经济发展的需要。据统计，我国目前有技工学校4400多所，其中，企业办校占6O％左右，且大部分为中小企业办校。这些学校，作为企业经济发展战略的组成部分，为企业经济的发展提供了大批技能人才，在国家社会经济生活中发挥了重要作用。但近年来，受经济结构调整等…     

论劳动力市场的理论困境与实践可能性

本文运用劳动社会学的理论和方法,在总结和回顾劳动力市场有关理论问题的基础上,提出社会主义客观上仍存在某种程度的劳动力商品化的条件。依据这一前提,作者认为,要解决目前我国经济社会发展中存在的一系列的劳动就业问题,有必要建立劳动力市场。进而比较详细地探讨了劳动力市场的基本模式,并指出劳动力市场成立后,还必须处理好如择业与充分就业、贫困与经济无保障以及计划与市场等关系或问题,从而使我国劳动力市场不断得到发展与完善。     

贵阳市劳动力就业供给研究

劳动力资源作为最重要的经济资源,对经济发展具有举足轻重的作用。劳动就业状况关系到国计民生,与经济发展密切相关。在一个国家实施可持续发展就业战略中,除了重视劳动力资源的创造外,还要重视就业机会的创造,实现充分就业。本文以贵阳市劳动力资源相关统计数据为基础,从贵阳市人口与劳动力就业现状分析出发,对贵阳市的就业承载力进行评价,揭示贵阳市劳动力就业问题。从促进贵阳市劳动力充分就业的需要出发,提出充分实现贵阳市劳动力充分就业与国民经济发展成为推动贵阳跨越发展的基础,基于这一思路提出了解决城市基础设施建设面临的主要问题和挑战的对策建设。     

新常态下就业面临的挑战

在新常态经济下,劳动力市场将发生深刻变革,就业形势与矛盾将更加复杂:就业总量矛盾依然存在,但主要矛盾是结构性问题,劳动力成本上涨对企业劳动需求影响加深,劳动者素质结构与市场需求不匹配矛盾突出,低技能劳动者面临更为严峻的就业冲击,劳动力市场进入矛盾多发期。改革开放以来,中国经济以年均约10%的速度保持快速增长,"十一五"期间年均增速更是高达11.2%,目前人均GDP已经接近7000美元。在经历多年的高速增长之后,中国经济面临资源环境、人口要素、结构转型、均衡发展等多种挑战,增长放缓几乎是不可逆转的趋势。2013     

稳妥有序地推进劳动预备制度

一、实施劳动预备制的形势与任务实施劳动预备制，是党中央、国务院交给我们的一项重要而光荣的任务，为做好这一工作，我们必须进一步明确所面临的形势与任务。一是从就业面临的压力看实行劳动预备制的迫切性。面对巨大的就业压力，我们的基本对策是：扩大需求（即增加就业岗位），减少供给（即调控劳动力资源），提高素质（即加强职业培训）．增强活力（即加快发展劳动力市场和就业服务）。从我国目前经济发展情况看，就业岗位的超常规开发难度相当大，而通过实施劳动预备制，使我们找到一条运用调节劳动力资源供给，减缓就业压力的路子，…     

冲突与和谐的“澳门模式”——纪念“一二·三”事件40周年

和谐社会的建立，无论在内地还是在澳门，已经是大家的共识。但是“和谐”何以可能，这样的“社会”如何建立，就不是很容易的事情了。澳门的中西交流、冲突与和谐已经有了450年的历史，理应在这个问题上有所心得，在和谐社会的建立上有所成就。所以总结一下这些方面的教训与经验，一方面可以为澳门今后的发展提供参考，另一方面也可资他人借鉴，就是一件很有意义的事情了。     

Bitch,slut, skank,cunt: patterned resistance to women’s visibility in digital publics

Resistance to women’s public voice and visibility via street harassment and workplace sexual harassment have long constrained women’s use of and comfort in physical public spaces; this gender-based resistance now extends into digital arenas. Women face extreme hostility in the form of digital sexism in discussion rooms, comment sections, gaming communities, and on social media platforms. Reflecting on two years of in-depth interviews with women who have been on the receiving end of gender-based digital abuse (n?=?38), conversations with industry professionals working in content moderation and digital safety, the extant literature, and news stories about digital attacks against women, I offer a lens to think through the prominent patterns in digital sexism, showing (1) that aggressors draw upon three overlapping strategies – intimidating, shaming, and discrediting – to limit women’s impact in digital publics, (2) the way femininity and femaleness are used to undermine women’s contributions, and (3) men call attention to women’s physicality as a way to pull gender – and the male advantage that comes with it – to the fore in digital exchanges. Finally, I argue that when digital sexism succeeds in pressing women out of digital spaces, constrains the topics they address publicly, or limits the ways they address them, we must consider the democratic costs of gender-based harassment, in addition to the personal ones.     

Voluntary turnover among non-supervisory casino employees

As gaming is expanding nationally and internationally, existing gaming operations are facing increased competition for employees with gaming experience. This study investigates the factors related to employee turnover in the gaming industry. Workers of six casinos in Reno, Nevada were surveyed concerning their work attitudes and turnover intentions, resulting in a sample of 492 observations. The sample represents all non-supervisory job types typically found in casinos. Pearson correlations and multivariate regression analysis were employed to investigate the relationships among turnover intentions and job satisfaction, specific satisfaction dimensions, organizational commitment, worker perceptions, pay, and labor market conditions. The results show that job satisfaction and organizational commitment are most strongly related to turnover. In contrast to previous findings, labor market conditions and pay play only a minor role in an employee's decision to quit. Instead, perceived lack of job security, satisfaction with supervision, and perceived employer concern with employee well-being emerge among the most important factors. The results imply that employers in the gaming industry can manage employee turnover by providing effective supervision that is based on employee participation and fair treatment of employees. Training of supervisors, therefore, may be a relatively inexpensive method of controlling employee turnover in casinos.

Union Legitimacy and the Team Concept: A Case Study of Workers’ Attitudes*

Unions are facing a crisis of legitimacy resulting in part from employer‐initiated workplace participation programs that seek to undermine labor militancy and attachment to unions. The overall trend among union leaders, however, is support for the team concept when implemented in unionized settings. This study examines the effect of union involvement in the team concept on pragmatic and moral union legitimacy at the first unionized team concept assembly plant in the automobile industry—the General Motors’ truck plant in Shreveport, Louisiana. The unique contribution of the study is that it systematically examines how workers who began their careers in the industry under different production regimes view the team concept and union legitimacy. The analysis is based on a random sample survey of workers and employs an original approach of comparing work attitudes and union legitimacy among different “political cohorts.” The results indicate that the team concept threatens pragmatic union legitimacy for veteran workers because it undermines seniority rights. Significant time working under the team concept may also weaken moral union legitimacy, even among workers socialized initially in nonteam concept environments.     

Casino Taxation in Macao: An Economic Perspective

Macao’s gaming industry has experienced dramatic growth for 8 years, yet with certain social costs due to compulsive gambling. The government has come under pressure for tax cuts even though its gaming receipts are falling relatively to the casino retained revenue. The request for tax relief is triggered by a recent decline in net profit despite fast growing gross gaming revenue under favorable market conditions. This is very likely caused by a substantial hike in casino operating costs due to increased competition and might also signal the presence of the principal-agent problem. Given the regressivity of gaming tax with respect to net profit, it is no surprise that casinos with lower profitability are more prone to seek tax cuts. The source of Macao gaming profit hinges on three distinct factors: rising demand from China, monopoly location for casinos, and market structure of oligopoly. These factors provide economic justifications for the current tax regime of Macao with a strong ability to pass tax burdens on to massive visitors. The government relies on casino tax revenue to deal with gambling related problems and promote local diversified development. Pushing for tax variability may create policy instability, business uncertainty, and unpredictable prosperity in the long term.     

The body without organs: nonorganizational desire in organizational life

In an attempt to challenge the status of the organizational, this paper proposes a ‘nonorganizational’ turn towards embodiment and desire. Introducing and critically discussing Deleuze and Guattari's () notion of the ‘body without organs’ (BwO), it argues that this may improve organization theory's opportunities to think about the forces of embodied desire that disrupt, undermine and escape organization, upset the homogeneity of organizational life, and overpower organizations to such an extent that they cease to be organizations. Rather than adding more ‘organization’ to ‘organizational life’, this may be a way to put more ‘life’ into it. And rather than deeming organization more powerful, this may be a way to recognize its limitations and fragility.     

Parents’ Health and Adult Children’s Subsequent Working Status: A Perspective of Intergenerational Transfer and Time Allocation

This paper frames how parents’ health problems may affect a child’s subsequent working status. Parental health problems occurring in their prime working years undermine an adult child’s resources and tend to affect the child’s preferences over time-allocations among leisure, market- and non-market-labor. Empirical applications in this paper focus on a situation with pervasive health problems, lack of social safety network, and a substantial gender gap in labor market return. Exploiting Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS) for the period 1994–2004, empirical results indicate that a father’s poor health status is a significant predictor of lowering a daughter’s educational attainment and working probability during her subsequent, adulthood years.     

Macau’s Heterotopias: Ruins of St. Paul’s as a Spatial and Temporal Disruption

This article explores and decodes the social experiences of the ruins of St. Paul’s in Macau. The depictions of St. Paul’s as a disruptive social space are elucidated by the concepts of heterotopia, palimpsest and liminality. As a palimpsest, Macau’s ruins comprise a variety of concealed and superimposed semantic layers. One can read the ruins and decipher these semantic tiers. The reading of buildings as palimpsests recognises the paradoxical combination of their durable and transitory nature. St. Paul’s ruins encompass several stratified discourses such as cultural, historical, aesthetic. All of them are deciphered in their multivalent configurations, revealing their overarching heterotopic quality. This article aims to display St. Paul’s ruins as a culturally meaningful urban space of otherness within the ambivalent spatial realm of Macau while unfolding its disruptive nature.     

Exploring the division of household labor outside the family context: utilizing resources for doing gender

This study tests alternative theoretical models of the division of household labor within a non-familial context of men and women operating homes for autistic children and adults. This context makes it possible to disentangle overlapping hypotheses that stem from competing models. A sample of 128 staff members completed extensive questionnaires. The analyses yielded considerably different patterns of results for men and women. The results for the men provided support for the relative resources model, showing that men's contributions to household labor decreased as their resources increased. The results for the women provided support for the human capital model, showing that women's contributions increased as their resources increased. The gender construction approach may account for these gender differences in the determinants of involvement, suggesting that men and women utilize their resources for ‘doing gender’.     

Self-exclusion: A Proposed Gateway to Treatment Model

Self-exclusion is a programme utilized by the gaming industry to limit access to gaming opportunities for problem gamblers. It is based on the following principles: (1) The gaming industry recognizes that a proportion of community members gamble excessively and have difficulty controlling gambling behaviours; (2) The gaming industry has a responsibility to provide a safe gaming environment and to assist in minimizing the negative impact on individuals displaying problem gambling behaviours; (3) Individuals must accept personal responsibility for limiting gambling behaviours to affordable levels; and (4) Self-exclusion is not a treatment designed to address psychological processes. The objective of the present paper is to propose a unifying structure for self-exclusion programmes as a gateway to treatment based on a system operated by independent ‘educators’ whose roles and responsibilities include informing individuals of the purpose of self-exclusion, establishing links and a gateway for access to supplementary services and monitoring and reporting the effectiveness of the overall programme.
