Exploring the generation gap in the workplace in South Korea

This study reviewed current literature on generational issues in Korea, specifically in relation to the workplace. Based on the results, this study concluded that distinct generations of workers exist in Korea. While there are similar generational characteristics between Korea and the United States because of the unique societal, historical, and cultural factors in each country, there are noticeable differences such as the existence of Generation 386 in Korea. Due to rapid industrialization and social transformation during the past few decades, Korean society seems to exhibit wider gaps between older and younger generations than the United States. The roles of Generation 386 and Generation Y in organizations should be considered for the future.     

从“四化同步”到“六化协调”:县域产业升级发展新思路

随着“绿色化”理念的不断深入人心以及在中国经济发展过程中经济服务化在我国GDP产值中所占比值越来越大,把“四化同步”适时调整为“六化协调”已是大势所趋。“六化协调”发展与县域产业升级的密切关系为河北省县域产业升级振兴带来新思路,如何做?首先要找差距,抓重点,提升县域“六化协调”整体发展水平;其次要加强“六化”各系统之间互动,提升县域“六化”各系统发展水平;最后要制定区域化的“六化”发展战略,优化河北省“六化”协调发展的空间格局。     

EVERY DROP COUNTS: A WATER CONSERVATION EXPERIMENT WITH HOTEL GUESTS

We implement a field experiment with hotel guests to measure the effects of nonprice interventions on water conservation and customer satisfaction. In hotels, guests have no direct pecuniary incentive to conserve water, as consumers do at home, where they pay their own water bills. Because hotels earn greater profits when they manage to convince guests to conserve, guests may be suspicious of a hotel's stated social goal of water conservation. By implementing behavioral interventions that address these challenges, we find that our nudges can induce guests to reduce their water consumption, even when no direct monetary incentive is provided. Using post‐stay customer surveys, we detected no adverse effects on customer satisfaction due to these nudges. (JEL D12, I31, Q41, Q50)     

Career Assessment and Counseling for STEM: A Critical Review

Career counselors must continually enhance their knowledge and skills to assist clients contemplating careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Therefore, the authors review STEM disciplines and theory‐driven strategies for assisting diverse individuals to explore, enter, and persist in STEM careers. Appropriate use of career assessments can contribute greatly to this effort. To identify available measures for STEM‐focused domains and constructs, the authors conducted a journal content analysis of stand‐alone STEM‐related career assessments from 1983 to 2016, identifying 39 articles with 153 measures. Notable results included the emergence of social cognitive theory and social cognitive career theory as prevailing frameworks for instrument development, a wide variety of disciplines and journals represented, an underrepresentation of minority samples, and untapped potential for cross‐discipline and researcher–practitioner collaboration. Useful strategies and resources for counselors and recommendations for enhancing career assessments and interventions are addressed.     

社会再适应、参与式重建与反脆弱性发展——汶川地震灾后重建启示录

从受灾群体的主位角度来说,汶川地震的主要危害在于,它迫使受灾群体在极短的时间内遭受了一系列社会生活的剧烈变动,从而导致了受灾群体原有社会关系被破坏.从这个意义上讲,灾后重建是受灾群体进行社会再适应的过程,其核心内容是社会关系的重建.因此,灾后重建必须凸显和实现受灾群体的主体性价值,亦即受灾群体必须以主体的身份参与灾后重建,在参与式重建中实现社会关系的重建和社会再适应.而灾后重建的最终目标,不仅在于修复因地震所致的破坏,恢复到震前的社会生活状态和社会经济秩序,更重要的是着眼于未来,实现受灾地区的反脆弱性发展.     

多元认同与批评伦理:文学批评中的宽容新论

文章由胡适致陈之藩的信中提出的"善未易明,理未易察"这个命题引导出文学批评中的伦理即"宽容"的话题,指出在当下文化语境中对一元论的怀疑与价值多元的认同,并不必然引向宽容的彼岸及具有启发性的批评,反而很有可能导致一些不健康的批评现象:一种是折中主义倾向,一种是怀疑主义与虚无主义倾向.并由此提出文化及文学批评伦理问题供有识者参考讨论.     

我国统一基本养老保险制度建立时点研究

众所周知,与城乡二元的社会经济结构相对应,几十年来,我国的城市和乡村实行的是两套相对独立、待遇迥异的"二元"养老保障体系[1].随着社会主义市场经济的发展、城市化率的提高、城乡融合的推进,二元的城乡养老保障体系与社会发展要求不相适应的矛盾日益显现,因此,如何统筹城乡养老保障,最终建立城乡统一的社会养老保障体系的问题,引起了政府、学者和社会各界的高度关注.     

论扩大内需政策与转变经济增长方式

在国际金融危机不断加剧的背景下,为防止经济下滑,当前宏观调控转向旨在扩大内需、保增长的政策组合.本文首先分析我国经济"两高一低"不平衡结构特征的形成,其次,深入分析形成这一经济结构的根本性原因--粗放型经济增长方式;最后,论证单纯着眼于总需求管理的宏观经济政策在转变经济增长方式、调整经济结构上的局限性,提出"长期着眼,短期入手,实施兼及长期结构调整与增长方式转变的短期扩大内需政策"的思路.
