Comparing the two sides of the nonprofit organization–donor relationship: Applying coorientation methodology to relationship management

Although public relations scholars recommend practitioners strive for symmetry in their communication programming, scholarship on the organization–public relationship has abandoned the push for symmetry despite potential problems that could emerge when the organization and publics have different viewpoints. Using the coorientation methodology, this study found that even though fundraisers and donors at a West coast hospital viewed their relationship positively, the differences in the evaluations leave room for the organization to devise strategies to improve the relationship status.     

Bringing IT Back: An Analysis of the Decision to Backsource or Switch Vendors

Whereas the decision to outsource information systems (IS) has been an important focus in IS research and practice, the decision to switch vendors or to backsource has received little attention. Evidence suggests that in practice, however, the decision to backsource or to switch vendors is becoming increasingly common as firms vie for ways to continue to cut information technology (IT) costs and improve IT service levels. This research specifically examines the factors associated with the decision to backsource or to switch vendors. Based on a sample of 160 IT managers involved with application development, we compare and contrast the perceptions of those who switched vendors, backsourced, or continued in an outsourcing relationship for application development. Our findings suggest that product quality, service quality, relationship quality, and switching costs are related to the decision to backsource application outsourcing. However, service and product quality did not influence the decision to switch vendors. Rather, firms that made the decision to switch vendors reported high levels of service and product quality but low levels of relationship quality and switching costs.

Relationship building and the use of Web sites: How Fortune 500 corporations use their Web sites to build relationships

This study examines the dialogic features of corporate Web sites in order to determine the Web site practices of the corporations for building relationships with their publics. Content analysis of 100 Fortune 500 companies’ Web sites revealed that the corporations designed their Web sites to serve important publics and foster dialogic communication. The corporate Web sites appear to promote control mutuality, trust, satisfaction, openness, and intimacy. However, the corporations need to maintain repetitive interactions with their publics to enhance trust, commitment, and exchange relationship.

警民关系研究综述

目前我国学界关于警民关系的研究现状为:对国外及我国港台有关警民关系的研究,侧重于相关理论和成功经验的引入和推介;对于构建和谐警民关系指标和评价体系的研究还比较少,但评价指标和方法已基本确立;对于和谐警民关系的构建研究视角多样,取得了许多有价值的成果,但还需要在系统性和应用性上下功夫。     

走马楼吴简乡丘关系初探

与传统认识中古代基层社会为乡里体系的观念有所不同的是,长沙走马楼吴简中出现了大量的令人费解的“乡”与“丘”的对应组合。乡丘关系的研究遂成为一大难点。统计显示,乡丘的对应不仅有一对多关系,更有多对一的关系,呈现为一种复杂的关系模式。针对这种情况,对乡丘关系的理析,学界应跳出乡丘隶属关系的旧思路,以这种复杂关系为前提,来深化吴简的研究,完善对“丘”的认识。     

墨子人本思想的结构

墨子主张"天志",在天人关系的二维结构中,人在天的意志主宰之下.墨子主张"尚同"思想,在君民关系的二维结构中,君权相对于民权具有绝对的权威.但墨子思想中的天人关系是天、鬼、君、民的四维结构.借助于"天鬼"的中介,实现了民意对于君权的制衡,墨子政治思想具有民本思想的倾向.借助于民本思想,墨子的天人关系观走出了原始宗教的桎梏,体现了人文主义的精神.

民间信仰的社会学研究论纲

当前,民间信仰已成为多学科的研究对象。相比民俗学、历史学、人类学等学科而言,社会学较少涉入民间信仰研究。本文提出有关民间信仰的一套比较系统的社会学研究论纲,即从社会学的现实研究取向、研究方法、研究视角、理论运用和道德责任五个不同层面来分别阐释对民间信仰开展的五个方面研究:现状研究、实证研究、关系论研究、理论解释和批判研究。本论纲乃希望达到三个目的:其一是呼吁社会学学者能更多地关注民间信仰现象、参与到民间信仰现象的研究队伍中来;其二是提供一套民间信仰的社会学研究取向、研究方法、研究视角、解释路径和研究立场,供其他学科批判或借鉴;其三是希望能摆脱以基督教为主要研究对象发展而成的宗教社会学理论在解释中国经验时的尴尬处境,推动中国本土宗教的社会学理论建设。
