This paper engages the concept of the organizational field to explore the status of a growing set of organizations referred to as social enterprises, nonprofit ventures, and social purpose businesses. The argument is developed through an ethnographic case study of a nonprofit hybrid organization (in the United States) that is training welfare recipients in their own in-house businesses. First, this paper provides an overview of the commercial trends in the nonprofit sector and the rise of social purpose enterprises. Then, employing key concepts from neo-institutional theory, the author proposes framing nonprofit-business hybrids as organizations positioned in two different organizational fields—each necessitating different internal organizational technologies—to elucidate the structural tensions that can emerge inside these new hybrid models. Internal organizational tensions identified in the case study are highlighted. Finally, the proposed use of organizational field theory developed from the case analysis is discussed in terms of social enterprise more generally.

The inverse plurality rule—an axiomatization 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Under the ‘inverse plurality rule’, voters specify only their least preferred alternative. Our first result establishes that
this rule is the only scoring rule that satisfies the minimal veto condition (MV). We then prove that the inverse plurality
rule is characterized by MV and the four well known conditions that characterize scoring rules; namely, Anonymity (A), Neutrality
(N), Reinforcement (RE) and Continuity (CO). Our new characterization result is related to the characterizations of approval
voting and of the widely used plurality rule. We finally show how the axiomatization of the inverse plurality rule can be
extended to the axiomatization of elementary scoring rules (vote for t-alternatives scoring rules).
We are indebted to two anonymous referees for their most useful comments.

Nonprofit Isomorphism: An Australia–United States Comparison 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Jeffrey Leiter 《Voluntas: International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations》2008,19(1):67-91
This paper examines the organizational structures of nonprofit organizations in Australia and the United States. Using random
samples of nonprofits drawn from the two organizational populations, the analysis compares the extent of structural resemblance
or isomorphism in each. It detects similar levels of isomorphism for several structural characteristics. The paper interprets
this finding as reflecting expectations for nonprofit organizations that stretch worldwide.

A Short Commentary on the article 'Staying Put in the Closet: Examining Clinical Practice and Countertransference Issues in
Work with Gay Men Married to Straight Women' by Edward Alessi. The focus is upon countertransference issues, especially therapeutic
ambition, in working clinically with heterosexually married gay men. The work of the interpersonal school is emphasized as
providing a creative approach to therapeutic ambition with Otto Allen Will's concept of the governing principle of uncertainty.

Plurality rule is mostly criticized from being capable of choosing an alternative considered as worst by a strict majority.
This paper considers elections in which the agenda consists of potential candidates strategically choosing whether or not
to enter the election. In this context, we examine the ability of scoring rules to fulfil the Condorcet criterion. We show
for the case of three potential candidates that Plurality rule is the only scoring rule that satisfies a version of the Condorcet
criterion in two cases: 1) when preferences are single-peaked and, 2) when preferences are single-dipped.

Family Financial Risk Taking When the Wife Earns More 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0
Nancy Ammon Jianakoplos Alexandra Bernasek 《Journal of Family and Economic Issues》2008,29(2):289-306
This study investigates whether the relative bargaining power of spouses plays a role in explaining household financial risk
taking. Traditional models assume that household decisions are made based on pooled resources and common preferences. In contrast,
bargaining models hypothesize that household decisions depend on the relative bargaining power of spouses. According to bargaining
models, if women are more risk averse, then households should exhibit less financial risk taking as the bargaining power of
the wife increases. Results of an analysis of household financial risk taking in a sample of dual-earner, married households
from the 2004 Survey of Consumer Finances are more consistent with decision making based on pooled resources rather than on the relative bargaining power of spouses.

This paper introduces the concept of “mindsharing” as an overarching construct that encompasses the familiar clinical phenomena
described by the concepts transitional objects, auxiliary ego functions, selfobject functions, intersubjective sharing, and others. The common denominator in each of these is that one person uses others psychological functions for the purposes of maintaining
self-cohesion. A case is presented to illustrate some of the implications of this position.

The legal transitions of private ownership from being admitted limitedly to being protected equally with public ownership,
and of the peasants’ right on rural lands from a contractual right to the right in rem, are almost the same process of social reform. And in the interaction of social development and legislation, the law has
taken on an increasing role in social transition.

Early literature found that holding more anti-Semitic attitudes positively predicted ability to discern whether a photograph
was of a Jewish or non-Jewish person. This contradicts the well established finding that interpersonal sensitivity is generally
associated with healthy psychological characteristics. In five new, previously unpublished studies we found that this relation
was negative, such that more prejudiced individuals were now less accurate than less prejudiced individuals at a similar task, consistent with the general finding. A meta-analysis of all
the studies showed that time was a significant moderator of the relation. Possible reasons for the temporal change are discussed.

Top-Down Civic Projects Are Not Grassroots Associations: How The Differences Matter in Everyday Life
Nina Eliasoph 《Voluntas: International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations》2009,20(3):291-308
Research on civic associations blurs an important distinction between the unfunded, informal, ongoing associations that theorists
like de Tocqueville described versus current participatory democracy projects that are funded by the state and large nongovernmental
organizations, are open to all, and are usually short-term. Based on a long-term ethnography of youth programs in the United
States, this paper shows that entities like these, which participants and researchers alike often called “volunteer” or “civic”
groups, operate very differently from traditional civic groups. The ethnography systematically details prevalent tensions
that actors face when they try to cultivate the civic spirit in these increasingly typical organizations.

A characterization of trust,and its consequences 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Jack Barbalet 《Theory and Society》2009,38(4):367-382
Trust is understood in terms of a) acceptance of dependency in b) the absence of information about the other’s reliability
in order to c) create an outcome otherwise unavailable. The first of these is the cost of trust; the second, the situation
of uncertainty it faces and may overcome; the third, its purchase. This account permits: distinction between trust and similar
relations with which it is frequently confused; discovery of the basis of trust in the emotional apprehension of confidence;
and demonstration of the relationship between trust and both social capital and rationality, with counter-intuitive results.

Drawing on interviews with twenty-five mostly white, educated, work-force experienced and class-privileged mothers, this paper
explores how these women construct the lactating body as a carefully managed site and breast-feeding as a project—a task to
be researched, planned, implemented, and assessed, with reliance on expert knowledge, professional advice, and consumption.
The framing of breast-feeding as a project contrasts with the emphases on pleasure, embodied subjectivity, relationality,
and empowerment that characterizes much of the recent breast-feeding literature across the humanities and social sciences.
I argue that the project frame sheds light on the amount of work and self-discipline involved in compliance with broader middle-class
mothering standards set in the consumerist, technological, medicalized, and professionalized contexts that shape parenting
in late capitalist America.

We study the general class of two-player public-policy contests and specify the asymmetry condition under which a more restrained government intervention that reduces the contestants’ prizes has the “perverse” effect of increasing their aggregate lobbying efforts.

The current crisis of neoliberalism is calling into question the relevance of key international institutions. We analyze the
origins, nature, and possible impacts of the crisis through comparing two such institutions: the International Monetary Fund
(IMF) and the World Trade Organization (WTO). Both originated in the post-World War II U.S.-led hegemonic order and were transformed
as part of the transition to global neoliberalism. We show that while the IMF and the WTO have been part of the same hegemonic
project, their distinct institutional features have put them on significantly different trajectories. Historical differences
in the two institutions’ systems of rules have placed the IMF in a more vulnerable position than the WTO, which provides clues
to the future contours of global economic governance.

Consider an individual whose judgments are always based on a fundamental criterion such as a political ideology or a religious doctrine. In a choice situation, he always prefers any alternative that is compatible with the criterion to any that is not. When individuals are allowed to have preference spaces restricted in this manner, we investigate Arrow-consistent domains. We observe that a diversity of attitudes is essential in order to escape an Arrovian impossibility.This paper received the Kanematsu Fellowship from RIEB, Kobe University in May 2002.

Social workers who provide end-of-life care do not always see themselves as clinicians. This paper identifies what is clinical
in work with the dying. Social workers routinely elicit sources of cultural and psychological ways of coping, tolerate difficult
and painful affects, and balance hope with compassion. They work in multidisciplinary teams and on every level (individual,
family, and systemically) to avoid splitting or blame. Further, dying is a relational event. Social workers who work with
the dying often stand in the most intimate spaces and therefore use themselves intersubjectively. This work requires considerable
courage and self-care.

This paper describes a prototype for the treatment of intimate relationships that takes into account how to evaluate attachment
styles in the couple relationship and in psychotherapy, and how to integrate this understanding into clinical practice. It
is important for the couple’s therapist to understand attachment, its neurobiological underpinnings, and its origins in early
development. Secure attachment in an adult relationship may be challenged if one or both partners have experienced disruption
of a primary attachment relationship. The goal of successful treatment is to restore the normative growth of intimacy, empathy,
understanding, healthy dependency, and connection.

Since the inception of social work social workers have noted the importance of relationship in practice. More recently clinicians
and other social workers have developed the term “use of self” to indicate important aspects of the professional relationship.
How that term is defined rests on how one conceptualizes “self.” The authors suggest that from a relational perspective the
concept of self changes from the notion of self as separate and constant to self as process in interaction. They demonstrate
on a theoretical level as well as through a case example how defining self as process in interaction might affect clinical
social work practice.
