The social responsibility of organizations: Perceptions of organizational morality as a key mechanism explaining the relation between CSR activities and stakeholder support

Prior research on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has documented how specific CSR activities relate to responses of relevant stakeholders, mainly examining employees. However, it is as yet unclear whether these findings generalize to other types of CSR activities or to responses of other stakeholder groups. In fact, results from studies to date also show inconsistent effects in need of further explanation.In this contribution we offer a new perspective on this literature. We extend current insights on organizational CSR activities and stakeholder support, by elaborating on the psychological mechanisms that can explain these relations. We draw together recent developments on organizational anthropomorphism with insights on organizational identification, to argue that the impact of CSR activities on a broad range of stakeholder responses depends on perceptions of organizational morality. We connect prior work on organizational ethics, CSR, and stakeholder support, to social psychological theory and research on impression formation, impression management, and impression updating. This new perspective allows us to broaden the current debate on CSR and stakeholder support.Building on this analysis, we propose a new model that offers a roadmap for future research. We explain the impact of organizational CSR on stakeholder responses, by highlighting perceived organizational morality as a key mediating variable. We then proceed to consider likely moderators of this relation distinguishing between (a) characteristics of the organization, (b) characteristics of (communications about) CSR activities, and (c) characteristics of the perceivers. On the basis of this extended model we develop specific predictions, and review initial evidence supporting these prediction.     

数字媒体时代的国外游戏文化研究述评

游戏和关于游戏文化的研究传统深厚。数字媒体技术促进了网络游戏的蓬勃发展,国外关于数字媒体时代的游戏研究已成为专门的研究门类,产生了一大批游戏学家。国外的游戏文化研究大致形成了三种研究范式,即以内容和叙事分析的研究方法探析游戏和社会现实的关系,以理论辨析和案例分析的研究方法理性勾勒现实生活游戏化的若干情况,以调查访谈的研究方法分析游戏玩家的身份认同。借鉴国外游戏学成果,植根中国网络游戏领域,中国的游戏文化研究大有可为。     

职场孤独感对员工帮助行为的影响 ——基于资源保存理论视角

基于资源保存理论视角,构建了一个有调节的中介模型,实证研究了职场孤独感对员工帮助行为的影响。结果显示：职场孤独感对员工帮助行为具有负向影响,关系认同在职场孤独感与员工帮助行为之间起中介作用,自我控制资源损耗负向调节了关系认同与员工帮助行为之间的关系,自我控制资源损耗调节了关系认同在职场孤独感和员工帮助行为之间发挥的中介作用。基于此,企业应重视员工的职场孤独感并加强管理,采取相应激励措施鼓励员工提高关系认同感,补充自我控制资源,从而降低职场孤独感对企业组织的不利影响。     

虚拟社区中的城市：城市微博超话的可沟通性——以重庆微博超话社区为例

当前,城市微博超话研究往往聚焦于趣缘社群,可沟通性价值却被忽略。以重庆微博超话社区为研究对象,抽取400个微博样本,探究城市微博超话蕴含的可沟通城市的潜能和如何运用微博超话机制体现城市传播的三重维度,结果显示：基于信息网络,城市微博超话提供了城市居民寻求社会支持和交往的平台,守城人和城市观察者穿梭在其中;基于地理网络,具身实践书写空间体验,区县印象勾勒立体城市;基于意义网络,城市符号凝聚为城市共同体,城市居民有着“我是本地人”的城市认同。作为虚拟社区中的城市,城市微博超话具有极强的城市属性,体现了可沟通城市“多元融合、时空平衡、虚实互嵌、内外贯通”的内涵。     

个体身份与生命意义：肺癌网络社区的疾病叙事

文章通过对国内"医享网"癌症社区"肺癌圈"中33篇精华帖的叙事分析,探究其中生命故事的主体对自我身份的建构路径及其对生命价值的意义探寻,并尝试性地提出一些反思。研究发现,在自述和他述生命故事中,叙事者在信息寻求过程中改善自我印象,并运用"写作疗法""阅读疗法"和叙事隐喻理解疾病,帮助患者重塑自身角色。通过社群互动,患者形塑了对自身的身份认同,并形成了集体层面的生命价值观。从本研究的结论看,疾病叙事是癌症网络社区患者建构个体身份、形成身份认同的重要途径,叙事或可成为未来增进社会对癌症乃至其他疾病的理解、推进治疗与康复的可行之路。

并购情境下领导群体原型典型性与下属上向信任的关系——组织身份凸显性的调节作用

基于社会身份理论,在并购情境下,领导的群体原型典型性作为领导群体身份特征的表征,对内群体下属的上向信任存在正向预测作用,即高群体原型典型性的领导更容易获得下属的上向信任。而领导的组织身份凸显性作为领导组织身份特征的表征,负向调节领导的群体原型典型性与上向信任之间的关系。     

学术写作的互动式话语策略

学术写作并非完全机械化,也并非全盘避免作者主观情感的介入。学术作者使用多种话语策略来宣传其观点和立场,营造和谐对话空间,与读者形成良好互动,从而引导读者接受所述命题观点。基于学术语篇互动模型,分别从模糊语策略、作者身份构建方式以及作者与读者的隐性互动三个方面来阐释学术写作中的互动式话语策略。研究表明,每个学科都有其偏好的写作模式,教师应引导学生关注所属学科的语言范式,培养学生的读者意识,并在学术写作中采用积极有效、易于被读者接受的互动策略有力发声,推进研究。     

Identity,security and the nation: understanding the South Korean response to North Korean defectors

From the Cold War era of the ‘veteran heroes’ to the present view of escaped North Koreans in terms more akin to ‘refugees’ and sometimes even just ‘migrants’, perceptions of North Korean defectors in South Korea have changed as swiftly as the number and origins of Northerners entering the South have expanded. At the same time, government policy for these ethnic ‘brethren’ has evolved considerably, particularly as South Korea has seen fundamental shifts in its independent identity, with important repercussions for the way its citizens view themselves as a collective. This article explores some of the key influences behind changes to policy and perceptions regarding North Korean people in South Korea over the period from 1997 to 2012, by applying international relations theory on national identity and its role in policy formation and change through the need to secure different parameters within that identity.     

为《皆大欢喜》中的丑角试金石一辩
