公共经济主体的多元化与政府治理结构的改革

20世纪70年代以来,新自由主义和西方公共经济学开始兴起。公共经济主体日益多元化,西方国家的政府治理结构出现了放任市场的转型。私人部门、第三部门、社区、国际组织纷纷成为公共经济的主体,甚至黑社会组织也为资产阶级提供公共产品。而对人民群众和社会主义国家来说,劳动者组织和公有制经济部门才是政府部门之外的最主要的公共经济主体。只要西方国家的政府还是资产阶级的政府,那么,无论其治理结构如何转型,都阻止不了政治经济危机的发生,相比之下,只有社会主义国家才有可能依靠人民群众来实现政府治理结构的改革,使国家的职能只限于几项符合普遍性、全国性目的的职能。其中比较重要的是实现政企分开,将国有资产管理委员会成建制地从各级政府划归同级人大管辖。     

社会网络交往与政治信任——基于JSNET数据的实证分析

文章使用2009年八城市"社会网络与职业调查"数据,考察了当前中国大城市居民的政治信任状况,并在此基础上探索个体网络交往和公共参与交往对居民政治信任水平的影响。实证分析发现,春节拜年网和社交餐饮网指标对政治信任水平无影响关系甚至存在负面影响,但是对于公共事务的关心程度和社团参与程度,与政治信任水平存在正向关系。因此,发展社团组织、鼓励群众关注公共事务,是提升城市居民的政治信任的有效渠道。

Measuring servitization progress and outcome: the case of ‘advanced services’

The purpose of this paper is to establish a framework for assessing the progress and outcome of a manufacturer’s transformation towards becoming a provider of ‘advanced services’ – a complex bundling of products and services, whereby manufacturers offer capabilities and outcomes instead of products alone. ‘Advanced services’ represent the most complex offering in the current servitization trend amongst manufacturers. However, current performance measures lack the breadth and focus to assess progress or outcomes, and so support research and practice of organisational transformation efforts required. To address this gap the paper investigates how a manufacturer’s efforts to become an ‘advanced services’ provider can be comprehensively measured, and develops a framework for assessing the transformation journey towards becoming an ‘advanced services’ provider. The research method is based on (1) a systematic literature review process to create a comprehensive set of service-related performance measures that are available to assess a manufacturer’s servitization efforts, followed by (2) an engagement with an expert panel to synthesise the identified measures and create a set of ‘advanced services’ performance measures. The proposed framework is presented as a scorecard that can be used in practice to assess the progress and outcome of a manufacturer’s transformation towards becoming a provider of ‘advanced services’.     

集体行动视角下的制度逻辑演化机制研究

通过对我国专车服务市场制度变革过程的纵向案例研究,探讨了组织场域中的集体行动如何推动制度逻辑演化的内在机制问题。研究发现：制度逻辑的演化过程主要经历了分离、冲突和共存三种状态,不同的制度逻辑的演化是由行动主体能动性策略和资源利用所构建的集体行动模式差异性驱动的。制度变革机会的涌现促使场域中的行动主体采用协调性的集体行动模式,促成了新制度逻辑的生成,并导致了新、旧两种制度逻辑的分离;在制度变革机会变得模糊的场域中,行动主体非协调的集体行动促使新、旧两种制度逻辑之间的激烈冲突;而在制度变革机会沉没的情境下,行动主体再协调性的集体行动最终促成了新、旧两种制度逻辑的共存。研究结论对我国当前复杂制度环境下新兴业态的发展以及传统业态的协同治理提供了重要的借鉴和启示。     

Revisiting gendered assumptions of practitioner power: An exploratory study examining the role of social media expertise

The purpose of this exploratory study was to expand upon previous literatures in public relations power, and fill the need for more scholarship regarding practitioners’ perceptions of social media work, power, and gender. Findings from a survey of PRSA members showed that there is a gendered difference in power perception between males and females regardless of their PR roles or level of experience, but social media expertise was perceived equally between both genders. We argue that while social media expertise may serve to reduce a gendered power divide in public relations, continued critical exploration of social media and gender inequality is necessary.     

Public participation and the politics of humiliation

ABSTRACT

The article contends that the most popular form of Public Participation (PP) in SA is public protest, which, as a result of historical continuity, represents a direct response to the humiliations experienced by the poor, unemployed and socially excluded. Despite an enlightened human rights Constitution, if citizens are treated as consumers and left to the vagaries of the market PP mechanisms are likely to fail as they do not address the real social issues at the root of the discontent.     

Professional quality of life of adult protective service workers

Adult Protective Services (APS) workers are exposed to substantial occupational hazards and job stress, but these stressors are underdocumented. Therefore, we sought to describe APS workers’ work environments and responses to occupational hazards and stressors, including compassion fatigue, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress. Survey data were gathered with closed-ended questionnaires administered to APS workers in an urban setting. Virtually all workers (97%) reported exposure to one or more environmental hazards in their work, and 80% reported hazard exposure in the past month. Workers also reported mixed responses to their work environment and to experiences with supervision. A sizable minority (22.7%) was at high risk for burnout, 24.6% were at risk for secondary traumatic stress, and 19.9% reported low compassion satisfaction. The results document multiple stressors in APS work. The APS partner is committed to ongoing efforts to better support its staff, and these findings can inform future efforts to enhance supervisor support and worker self-care, to minimize burnout and secondary traumatic stress.

当前中国城市社区矛盾冲突的新特点

2005-2007年,课题组对24个东北城市社区进行调研时发现东,北城市社区矛盾冲突呈现多样化、复杂化的趋势,这些特点既体现了东北城市社区矛盾冲突的特殊性,又具有中国城市社区矛盾冲突的一般性.由此,可以洞见当前中国城市社区发展中所面临的主要矛盾冲突问题.
