Effects of attributed responsibility and response strategies on organizational reputation: A meta-analysis of situational crisis communication theory research

Scholars utilizing situational crisis communication theory (SCCT) mainly examine how attributed responsibility affects organizational reputation and how response strategies matched with the amount of attributed responsibility protect reputation. The findings on these 2 important questions have been mixed. A meta-analysis of 35 investigations from 24 studies published between January 1990 and March 2015 was conducted to explain the mixed findings and reveal average correlations. Attributed responsibility was strongly associated with reputation at –.54, and response strategies were only weakly associated with reputation at .23. Equally important, crisis vignette choice moderated the responsibility-reputation association. Crisis clusters, reputation measurements, sample choice, and crisis vignette choice moderated the match-reputation association. Theoretical, methodological, and practical implications were discussed.     

Collaborative Approaches to Family Systems Supervision: Differentiation of Self

Many systems approaches speak to the importance of respectful mutual curiosity in supervision rather than linear teacher–learner didacticism. This paper provides an overview of collaborative approaches to supervision in family therapy. It then focuses on Bowen family systems and encouraging differentiation in the relationship process between supervisor and supervisee as a useful approach towards equal collaboration. The authors use case examples to illustrate what impedes and fosters mutuality in the supervision process where both supervisor and supervisee learn from each other.     

Education and training for social work: A response to Tony Novak

Novak's proposal (1995) that student social workers should be taught on the basis of how social work should be practised rather than how it actually is being practised within the current market economy, is challenged as an unhelpful ‘head in the sand’ approach to current dilemmas in social work education. The revised Diploma in Social Work (CCETSW, 1995a) is defended on the grounds that it prepares social workers for the jobs they will have to do on qualifying; that it retains a user-centred anti-racist and anti-discriminatory value basis and that, in spite of serious political threats, it remains rooted in higher education and emphasises the importance of holistic assessment and critical reflection in practice.     

Supporting Care Leavers to Fulfil their Educational Aspirations: Resilience,Relationships and Resistance to Help

Most children in state care do not do as well in school as their peers, but the period of leaving care and transition to adulthood may offer a ‘turning point’ for positive change. Based on a small study of care leavers in England, this article employs the concept of resilience to explore the significance of supportive relationships in enabling this group of young people to make decisions about their future and encouraging them to overcome setbacks in educational attainment.     

Ground Zero: reflections on trauma,in/distinction and response

This essay traces practices of tourism and memory at Ground Zero in New York in 2001 in an attempt to understand the perceived significance of what had happened and what it was that had been seen as traumatic. It describes the endless circling of the site, and the need for people to see for themselves. It argues that what happened included not just the impact of the planes but the collapse of the twin towers and the wound to the cityscape that followed. This exploration leads the paper to propose a more all‐embracing view of trauma, not as an injury to the flesh, to the psyche, to the community, or to the built environment, but as the name for an event where the very distinctions between body, psyche, community and environment are called into question. Practices that took place after 9.11 reveal how visitors and rescue workers sought, for example by taking photographs and in their insistent search for remains, to reinstate distinctions that had been obliterated, and how they struggled not only against the use of victims as a means that took place that day, but the ongoing instrumentalisation of life that takes place anyway under contemporary systems of sovereign power.     

网络“类民间组织”的演化机制与社会影响探析

以“宝贝回家”公益寻子网站为个案,对网络“类民间组织”的演化机制进行考察,主张网络“类民间组织”的演化机制可以分为形成、发展、规范和成熟四个阶段。同时,对网络“类民间组织”的社会影响进行探究,发现网络“类民间组织”在推动公众参与、扩大民间组织影响力、促进社会协调发展及拓宽行政监督途径方面具有积极意义;但是,由于受自身发展存在的缺陷及法治建设迟缓等因素的影响,网络“类民间组织”亦易造成社会失序、网络舆情“非理性”等消极影响。鉴于此,从营造发展环境、转变培育方式、深化内部管理机制、推进立法进程、健全监管体系等方面提出促进中国网络“类民间组织”健康发展的政策建议。     

差序社会结构下的“国家权威—关系权威”模式与经济绩效

费孝通先生在<乡土中国>中提出了"差序社会结构"的概念.文章引入该概念,并结合政治学和社会学对权威的定义,扩展了经济学中的权威含义,通过定义"国家权威"和"关系权威"为中国转轨时期经济资源配置提供了一个新视角.作者认为,从微观的角度来看,在生产要素市场没能发挥有效作用之前,由国有部门控制的资本、土地等生产要素在很大程度上是通过关系权威的方式来进行配置的,这一特征只有随着市场机制的逐渐完善才能慢慢减弱.     

失去原貌的传记——现代小说演变的理论描述

同史诗或纪传体作品一样 ,现代小说可以视为个人传记的变体。自现代主义以来 ,小说叙事从描写人物 (传主 )的行动或行动着的主体转而关注人物的内心生活 ,在某些“新小说”里内在主体也在丧失。小说叙述形式的变化揭示了个人主体性在现代世界的命运。而对叙事可能性的探索或竭力讲出一个故事来 ,则预示着对个人主体性的修复意图。这是关于叙事形式的社会学探讨
