Engaging leader – Engaged employees? A cross-lagged study on employee engagement

The goal of this study is to provide a cross-lagged examination of the relationships between engaging leadership, job resources and employee work engagement. We propose a mediation model and we postulate that engaging leadership can increase perceptions of three specific job resources (i.e. autonomy, support from colleagues and opportunities for learning and development) which theoretically correspond to the three facets of engaging leadership (i.e., inspiring, connecting and strengthening, respectively). Subsequently, in keeping with the extant body of Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) research, we link job resources to employee work engagement. Our hypotheses were tested on data collected at two time-points – T1 (N = 759) and T2 (N = 273) –from employees working for a hotel chain in the Netherlands. In line with our expectations, engaging leadership showed a significant cross-lagged relationship with autonomy and support from colleagues, but did not predict learning opportunities and work engagement across time. While we formulated specific hypotheses, we also tested reversed causation relationships. We found no direct effect from engaging leadership on employee work engagement, however, the reversed effect was significant; employee perceptions of engaging leadership were shaped by their own engagement experiences. Importantly, engaged employees at T1 reported more job resources at T2. By providing a cross-lagged examination of our model, we showed that engaging leaders as well as employees’ positive affective state of being engaged, are essential to shaping a resourceful work context. A comprehensive view on the triggers and outcomes of work engagement and engaging leadership is needed, as the traditional unidirectional cause-effect rationale fails to explain how these concepts relate to one another and to employee experiences of job resources.     

南宋理学家对王安石新学的批判

南宋理学家对 王安石新学的批判，主要表现在二方面：一是斥新学为异端邪说，藉以标榜理学为继孔孟绝 学的正统，二是把新学作为变乱祖宗法度而致北宋亡国的理论根源，予以无情打击。陆九渊 对王安石个人的政治操守和治国理想给以赞誉，但对王安石新学亦持批评态度。理学家批 判新学对南宋社会发展造成了不良影响，这就是在“法祖”的旗帜下，使南宋社会上上下下 因循守旧、政治上保守主义日益弥漫，并且直接影响了元明清对王安石新学及新法的评价。

沙僧形象溯源

沙僧是《西游记》中重要的取经人物之一。从《大正新修大藏经》中的相关材料看 ,其原型当是出于密教中的深沙神 ,历经唐宋元明诸朝说部作者的结撰才定型。     

大跃进时期的“赶超”思潮

“大跃进”运动是探索中国社会主义道路中所经历的一场带有全局性失误的经济建设运动。当时，“赶超”思潮成为一股不可忽视的势头，逐渐由理性走向非理性，进而偏离常规的轨道。实践中，“赶超”之风愈演愈烈，最终走向极端。这场运动影响深远，教训深刻，时刻提醒人们不能重蹈覆辙，为我国在经济建设上提供了前车之鉴。尤其是对当前经济建设具有重要启示。     

对欧盟未来文化建构的思考——一种对文化理念、概念与行动的表述

2002年12月在丹麦首都哥本哈根召开的欧盟首脑会议,正式宣布东欧12国为欧盟正式成员.这样,欧盟实现了第5次扩大,一个大的欧洲即将产生.欧盟各项法律与政策的逐渐统一,为欧洲的发展提供了制度平台.其中,对文化多样性与平等性的维护与发展,不仅为欧盟的东扩开拓了理念与概念空间,而且为未来"大欧洲"社会的形成与融合创造了条件.本文从"大欧洲"文化的理念、概念与实践三个方面对未来欧洲社会的前景进行了一些前瞻性的思考,力图从理论上进行一定的文化建构与探索.

Male Adolescents: Sexual Victimization and Subsequent Sexual Abuse

Veneziano, Veneziano and LeGrand (2000) found support for the victim to victimizer hypothesis of sexual aggression with 74 sexually abusive youth. This project, a further step in examining this theory (Burton, 2000, Burton, Miller, & Shill, 2002) builds on their ideas with data from 179 adolescent sexual abusers, and supports their findings. In an examination of relationships, gender, modus operandi, and acts, the sexually abused youth were likely to repeat what was done to them. This project also offers a further analysis of how victimization accounts for a significant portion of the variance in perpetration by these youth. Implications for research and practice are offered.     

沈从文创作心理三部曲

沈从文家世的衰落和在社会(主要是在北京)遭到的拒绝使他产生了自卑心理,在摆脱自卑的重负和与城市搏斗的过程中,他形成了“乡下人”的审美立场,构建了城乡异趣的文学世界,从而使自己获得了自尊,达到了生命中的“高峰体验”,进而达到超越自卑的境界,成了“自我实现的人”。在心理的迁移过程中,沈从文的创作呈现了三部曲:感伤/回忆—嘲讽/抒情—白描/写实。在此基础上,《边城》意蕴、《长河》残卷也有了新的阐释。     

西部产业集群发展的制度分析

从制度上看,区域产业集群发展具有自发性或诱致性、以市场制度为基础密切联系而形成核心竞争力、根植性等制度特征。西部产业集群发展,具有优惠的区域政策和制度后发优势,但也面临一定的正式制度和非正式制度约束,如与市场经济相左的思想道德观念、偏重自然资源的路径依赖、地方政府职能的错位、中央投资体制分割,等等。针对这些约束,必须采取相应的制度创新。
