HRD research and practice: Strengths,weaknesses, opportunities and threats

Since academics in business schools teach others about management it might be expected that these schools and their parent universities would make considerable use of this in-house expertise in managing their own activities. There is little evidence that this takes place. This paper examines why this might be so - putting forward nine hypotheses. While some of the hypotheses seem to have limited explanatory power, others, principally those concerned with the motivational structures within universities, seem to provide more plausible explanations.     

Dilemmas of Appraisal

This paper examines the assumptions that underlie the design of appraisal schemes and identifies the difficulties and dilemmas inherent in the process. The research reported here uncovered the subjective view of the difficulties and dilemmas faced by appraisees and personnel professionals. Dilemmas not previously uncovered in research on appraisal are revealed and discussed. The paper argues that a unitarist view of appraisal is naive. Appraisees and personnel professionals see appraisal as a political process, one that is reinforcing discrimination. Despite its many limitations, both parties can see the value of appraisal if good human relations are fostered through the process, providing feedback and helping set objectives.     

清初理学与清代学术

一般人认为,理学作为一种思想话语,在清代已缺乏对社会的深度渗透和控制能力。这是对民族文化的传承缺乏宏观视野的结果。清初理学形式上是通过权力机制而实现的思想的复古,实质上它是传统理学在清代的一种新生形态,它仍是清中叶及以前的主流话语。它对清代考据学、经世思潮、晚清经文经学和晚清理学中兴潮流都提供了直接或间接的思想资源。     

Living on the edge? Professional anxieties at work in academia and veterinary practice

ABSTRACT

Through empirical research on academics and veterinary surgeons, this article focuses on identity and how it is reflected in, and reproduced by, anxiety and insecurity at work. Three analytical themes – perfection, performativity and commodified service – each of which generates anxiety indicates a loss of autonomy as academics and vets are subjected to competitive market forces as well as an intensification of masculine managerial controls of assessment, audit and accountability. We see these pressures and their effects as reflecting a commodification of service provision where the consumer (student or client) begins to redefine the relationship between those offering some expertise and those who are its recipients, partly achieved through the performative gaze of constant and visible rating mechanisms. Our empirical research also identifies sources of anxiety concerns in their attempts to achieve perfection against this background of uncertain knowledge and precarious contexts of the performative nature of professional expertise.     

The importance of context specificity in work stress research: A test of the Demand-Control-Support model in academics

Abstract

The Demand-Control (D-C) (Karasek, 1979) and the Demand-Control-Support (D-C-S) (Johnson & Hall, 1988; Johnson, Hall, & Theorell, 1989; Karasek & Theorell, 1990) models of work stress suggest that jobs with high demands and low control (and low support) are stressful. In line with the support in the literature for context-specificity in occupational stress research (Sparks & Cooper, 1999) and the limited and even contradictory support for interaction effects, the main aim of the present study was to examine how the D-C-S model applied in a well-defined occupational group. Using hierarchical regression analyses, and controlling for negative affect, the D-C-S model accounted for 26%, 6%, and 8% of the variance in job satisfaction, psychological distress and burnout, respectively, among 166 academics in a UK university. No two-way or three-way interactive effects were evident, but additive effects of job demands and control on psychological well-being and of job demands and support on both burnout and job satisfaction were shown, corroborating research showing that high job strain is linked to ill health and job dissatisfaction in this homogenous occupational sample. It is recommended that, in future, research includes more variables that are specific to a particular occupation.
