Change agent's contribution to recipients' resistance to change: A two-sided story

In the change management literature, most studies on recipients' resistance to change include only the views of agents or of recipients, thereby ignoring that these parties may have different perceptions. In this quantitative study, we include the perceptions of both parties in studying the recipients' resistance and the impact of the agent's leadership behavior. In a sample of 117 agent-recipients groupings, covering 110 different change projects in 90 organizations, we found that agents perceive higher levels of recipients' resistance than do the recipients themselves. Additionally, we found that agents who create space to enable recipients to think and act differently (by employing creating behavior) report higher levels of recipients' resistance, whereas recipients perceive their resistance to be lowered when agents facilitate an emotional connection to the change (framing behavior). The depth of the change appeared to moderate the relationship between agent's leadership behavior and recipients' resistance, indicating that agents and recipients differ in which change leadership behaviors they perceive as increasing or decreasing resistance at different levels of change depth. These findings imply to reconsider the relationship between agent and recipients and we propose some promising avenues for future studies in resistance research.     

Behavioural determinants of perceived managerial and leadership effectiveness in Argentina

The purpose of this empirical study was to explore the perceptions of Argentinean managers and non-managerial employees about managerial and leadership effectiveness, and the extent to which the findings are generalized to other countries. The central research question addressed was as follows: How do people employed in Argentinean companies behaviourally distinguish effective managers from ineffective managers, and to what extent are the findings culture-specific or context-general? A total of 42 employees from private and public sector organizations in Cordoba, Argentina, were interviewed using critical incident technique. The interviews generated 302 critical incidents of which 155 were examples of positive (effective) managerial behaviour, and 147 of negative (ineffective) managerial behaviour. The findings suggest that Argentineans perceive as effective those managers who are supportive, considerate, motivating, caring, good decision makers, approachable, participative, fair-minded, communicative, actively involved, and who act as role models. This challenges the widely held belief that Argentineans prefer authoritarian managers over democratic ones.

夜盘交易对中国农产品期货市场定价权的影响

基于信息溢出视角,利用DCE与CBOT豆油期货连续合约收盘价数据,实证分析了夜盘交易启动对中国农产品期货市场定价权的影响。研究结果表明：夜盘交易的启动,未能有效提升DCE豆油期货对CBOT豆油期货的收益溢出效应,CBOT豆油期货对DCE豆油期货的收益溢出始终处于强势地位。夜盘交易前,CBOT对DCE豆油期货的波动溢出效应显著强于后者对前者的波动溢出效应,而夜盘交易的启动有效改善了这一现状;夜盘交易启动后,DCE与CBOT豆油期货呈现双向显著的波动溢出效应。综合来看,夜盘交易影响DCE向CBOT信息溢出的主要渠道为波动溢出而非收益溢出,夜盘交易未能有效提升以DCE豆油期货为代表的中国农产品期货市场定价权。

重思邻避困境的风险沟通与治理问题:基于核电的讨论

如何赢得民意和社会许可已经是目前国内核电风险设施选址过程中的主要障碍。而要破解该难题,我们既需要在微观层面针对潜在风险承担者的利益补偿,针对风险感知差异之重点群体开展理性沟通和共识协商,同时也更需要宏观层面的制度建设,通过制度化措施来缓解社会不信任,将我国在环评和社会稳评等风险沟通领域的相关制度安排落实为具体实践,并突破结构性障碍,在风险协商治理方面创新政治过程和制度,以制度的确定性来适应,甚至控制技术风险的不确定性。     

论明初的皇权统治与出版

明代出版被普遍认为是中国古代出版的巅峰,但事实上明代各个阶段的出版活动呈现出较大差异。在明初的洪武至宣德时期,出版活动陷入了一个低谷,活跃程度和整体态势甚至不及元末,其主要原因在于该时期的出版受到皇权专制统治思想的制约,主要表现为:明初统治者对图书出版的重视在一定程度上囿于制书出版,对民间出版基本上一致表现为严控与压制,其目的在于进行思想教化,维护专制统治。另外,明初文人在专制统治的政治背景下被皇权集体压制,致使他们的社会地位不高,命运悲惨,这也使私人出版行为受到严重打击。从宏观形态来看,明初的出版事实上成为皇权统治的工具,体现了当时的一种统治思想。     

危机领导力的理论模型构建:基于中国机长刘传健案例的质性研究

基于领导力的视角并围绕中国机长刘传健的典型案例,通过收集新闻媒体报道,以及对刘传健本人深度访谈、对管理人员访谈和对专业人员访谈共4类案例研究数据,采用经典扎根理论对转录后近29万字的案例资料进行编码,构建了危机领导力的概念和结构,最终提出了危机领导力六力(FLIGHT)模型,以此探索危机应对与管理的有效模式。研究结果发现,危机领导力包含6个维度:预警力、担当力、信念力、驾驭力、凝聚力和成长力。最后,将该模型同已有的危机管理模型进行了比较和分析,并讨论了研究结果的理论意义以及对危机中组织管理的实践启示。     

新权力范式对组织行为管理的影响及对策研究

当下一种由下而上聚集而成的具有开放性、共享性和分散性的新型权力范式已经逐步形成并涉及到社会生活的各个方面,从根本上改变着个体与组织、权威以及他人之间的关系,并对组织行为管理产生了深刻的影响,但学术界对这种新权力范式的基础性内容尚缺乏系统的整理。鉴于此,通过从权力的定义入手,基于对东西方古典政治哲学中权力概念的梳理,从不同维度对新旧权力范式进行了对比,分析总结了新型权力范式对组织行为管理在宏观和微观层面的影响,并针对具体情况提出了相应的管理对策与建议。     

论行政机关提起生态环境损害赔偿诉讼的正当性与可行性

行政机关提起生态环境损害赔偿诉讼的正当性,源于它是行政权与司法权相互配合从而履行国家环保义务、实现环境保护目标的实践.建立完善生态环境损害赔偿制度应当立足司法实际需要,通过行政权与司法权在诉讼各阶段的合理配置,使行政机关提起的生态环境损害赔偿诉讼获得更高效的判决、更有力度的执行.为此,应当完善诉讼的提起与推动、判决的做出与执行等全过程制度建设.
