The Role of Shocks in Employee Turnover*

This paper reports the findings from a recent study of nurse leavers at eight large hospitals in the National Health Service (NHS) of England and Wales. The study develops and extends an influential theory of employee turnover by describing how for some leavers a single, jarring event or shock triggers the decision to quit. By elaborating on the nature of shocks for this sample of 352 nurse leavers, the paper allows for improved understanding of nursing turnover and thus offers an example of relevant management research. The analysis of shock illustrates how conventional research methodologies can lead to a distorted picture of turnover. This has wider implications, both for any organization wishing to manage turnover effectively and for future research. The paper adds to the limited body of empirical analysis on actual leavers, thereby contributing to an ongoing methodological debate concerning the use of proxy variables. By highlighting flaws in the dominant methodology used to study turnover, the paper offers an example of management research that is also rigorous, and thus ‘pragmatic’.     

会议外交与中国参与全球卫生治理的思考

在全球卫生领域以大型会议为代表的国际会议外交已成为全球卫生治理的一种重要形式和载体。文章梳理了全球卫生治理中会议外交的两方面体现,一是以国际会议为代表的会议外交与全球卫生治理,二是以国家行为体为代表的会议外交与全球卫生治理,并进一步归纳了会议外交促成的全球卫生治理进程,包括多次会议促成了全球卫生安全的国际规则《国际卫生条例》,以及历经多年会议磋商促成了全球人口覆盖范围广的《烟草控制框架公约》。中共的十九大报告中对外交工作和健康中国战略有了明确表述,由此需要卫生与外交工作者审时度势、认清角色,通过会议外交表明态度,并以全球卫生会议外交为起点,促进国内立法接续。     

传统饮料热灌装系统的灌装控制改进和结构优化

第1代PET塑料瓶饮料热灌装机存在灌装控制系统简易、工艺不稳定、易发生料液渗漏的问题,使得产品质量不稳定,存在一定风险。笔者提出 一种基于传统热灌装系统的新控制系统和灌装通路优化方法：通过对灌装阀组设计增加新的卫生级气动控制模块,实现灌装工艺的时间变量控制;同时通过优化 分配器和排气管路结构,提高了灌装过程中排气通道的可靠性,消除了冷凝水回流对产品的污染。该改进方法实现了以少量的改造投入,有效提高了工艺稳定性 ,提高了产品的灌装质量。     

改革开放40年我国高中阶段教育政策的价值变迁

高中阶段教育是世界各国制定教育规划时共同的关注焦点,也是我国义务教育向高等教育过渡的关键节点。改革开放以来,我国高中阶段教育政策从注重单方面质、量的平行发展到兼顾质与量的统筹发展,再到回归个体本身的个性发展,从关注学生的外部属性再深化到内部属性,价值取向处在逐步演进中,由最初的社会本位取向转变为大众主义取向,紧接着体现出以人为本取向,深刻反映了时代变化与发展的诉求。     

习近平新时代中国特色社会主义法治思想与广东实践——纪念马克思诞辰200周年

马克思主义法学是马克思主义理论的重要组成部分,而习近平法治思想又是马克思主义法学中国化的最新成果.习近平法治思想是在建设中国特色社会主义伟大实践中形成的,它带有鲜明的历史唯物主义理论品格,是一个具有显著中国风格的法治理论体系,是广东省深入推进全面依法治国战略的行动指南,也是新时代背景下法治中国建设的思想纲领.     

基于LMDI模型的重庆直辖以来的能源消费碳排放研究

基于Kaya恒等式,采用LMDI分解方法建立重庆能源消费碳排放因素分解模型,实证分析1997—2016年重庆人口、经济发展、能源消费结构、产业结构、能源强度对能源消费碳排放的影响.结果表明:经济增长是促进人均碳排放的主要因素,能源强度是抑制人均碳排放的主要因素,自2010年起人口对人均碳排放有驱动因素,能源结构、产业结构对人均碳排放的影响随着煤炭消费比重、工业比重的变化而呈曲折变化态势.总的来说,驱动因素的作用大于抑制因素的作用,导致人均碳排放整体呈现上升的趋势.     

手工业社会主义改造及其效率分析(1953—1956年)——基于浙江的研究

20世纪50年代,国家对手工业进行合作化改造。在此过程中除了为手工业提供必要的技术、资金、原料等方面的支持外,发生最大变化的是手工业的生产关系,国家取代以往众多的商人、工场主,成为实际意义上的“包买商”,试图以社会化大生产的方式来提高手工业的生产力,进而壮大社会主义经济成分。但合作化后期所反映出来的种种问题揭示了只有在生产关系基本适应生产力的情况下,才能真正、有效地推动生产力的发展。     

我国省级地方政府预算细化与腐败的关联性研究

预算细化会改变现有预算参与方的利益,减少地方政府的寻租腐败空间,从源头上预防腐败.基于我国31个省级地方政府的面板数据,可对预算细化的反腐败效应进行实证检验.研究结果表明:财政透明度与腐败呈显著的正相关;非税收入占财政收入比例的回归系数值为负数且不显著;财政分权与腐败也呈负相关且不显著;公务员工资水平与腐败呈显著的正相关.由此可见,为了提升预算反腐的有效性,应落实全口径预算,将政府的所有收支纳入预算,规范化管理非税收入;并完善财政分权体制,赋予地方政府实质性的财权和事权;同时要健全与完善追究机制、晋升考核机制等相关制度.     

Internalized Other Interviewing in Relational Therapy: Three Discursive Approaches to Understanding its Use and Outcomes

For over 20 years, family therapist Karl Tomm has been engaging families and couples with a therapeutic intervention he calls Internalized Other Interviewing (IOI). The IOI (cf. Emmerson‐Whyte, 2010; Hurley, 2006) entails interviewing clients, from the personal experiences of partners and family members as an internalized other. The IOI is based on the idea that through dialogues over time, one can internalize a sense of one's conversational partner responsiveness in reliably anticipated ways. Anyone who has thought in a conversation with a family member or partner, “Oh there s/he goes again,” or anticipates next words before they leave the other's mouth, has a sense of what we are calling an internalized other. For Tomm, the internalized anticipations partners and family members may have offers entry points into new dialogues with therapeutic potential—particularly, when their actual dialogues get stuck in dispreferred patterns.     

Maternal Discipline and Children's Adjustment: The Role of the Cultural and Situational Context

This study examined how the cultural and situational contexts can jointly shape the consequences of discipline strategies. Israeli mothers who grew up in Israel or in the Former Soviet Union (FSU) (overall N = 110) reported regarding their use of psychologically controlling and punitive discipline with their seven‐years‐old to 10‐years‐old children, and teachers reported regarding children's behavior problems. We assessed both mothers' overall general use of the discipline strategies, and their use of the same strategies following transgressions in the academic domain, an area which the two groups emphasize to differing degrees. Consistent with hypothesis, controlling discipline in academic situations had more positive consequences in the FSU group compared with the Israeli‐origin group. In contrast, and as predicted, cultural group was not a moderator of mothers' overall, general use of the same discipline strategies. The findings illustrate how taking the situation into account can inform examination of the moderating role of cultural group.
