Explaining monetary donations to international development organisations: A factorial survey approach

This article investigates what type of international development organisations potential donors would prefer to donate to. We constructed 960 scenarios in which a fictive development organisation was described. The scenarios were randomly varied across eight characteristics of the organisation: size, familiarity, experience, religious character, number of different projects run by the organisation, number of countries in which the organisation is active, overhead costs and staff composition. A large representative sample of the Dutch population (N = 2,758) received six randomly allocated scenarios and had to decide if, and if so, how much they would donate to the depicted (fictive) organisation. Results demonstrate that donors have a preference for familiar organisations with several years of experience. Although donors have a strong aversion regarding overhead costs, we find that donors seem to value the capacities of paid staff members and are, to a certain extent, willing to pay a price for these. The ideal development organisation combines features typical of small(er) scale voluntary development organisations (e.g. mainly run by volunteers) and large(r) scale professional organisations (e.g. running development programmes in numerous countries).     

Trust and Risk Communication in High-Risk Organizations: A Test of Principles from Social Risk Research

This study explored the effects of open communication about occupational risks on workers' trust beliefs and trust intentions toward risk management, and the resilience of these beliefs and intentions to further risk information. An experimental survey of 393 student nurses showed the importance of open communication in the development of worker trust in risk management. Consistent with the trust asymmetry principle, we found that the increase in trust beliefs following open communication was weaker than the reduction in trust following a lack of communication. Further, the level of trust developed through communication (or lack of) influenced the way that subsequent risk information was processed. Negative risk information reduced trust beliefs in nurses with already low levels of trust while positive risk information increased trust beliefs only in those with already high levels. A similar pattern of results emerged for nurses' trust intentions, although the magnitude of these effects was weaker. The implications of these findings for occupational risk management are discussed.     

基于质量-顾客行为关系的策略选择

产品(服务)质量与企业利润之间的关系,既不简单也不直接,顾客购买行为是介于二者之间的变量之一.文章提出了一个质量对顾客购买行为意向的影响模型,并运用实证研究证明了质量对顾客购买行为意向的影响.研究结果表明,不仅总体上质量-行为意向的关系在各顾客购买行为意向维度上有所不同,而且在制造企业与纯服务性企业之间,也有所差异,这一结果为企业选择制定经济有效的质量策略,提供了理论参考.

SPECIAL ISSUE： MIGRANT WORKESR IN THE COURSE OF URBANIZATION Factors influencing the migration intentions of rural workers in the Pearl River Delta

在中国城乡户籍制度存在的背景下,什么因素影响农民工选择城市户籍,做出永久性迁移的决策,是本文关注的问题。研究发现,如果以是否愿意放弃土地作为行为性永久迁移意愿的指标,那么影响农民工迁移意愿的主要因素是个体的迁移动力,是一个基于经济理性的选择;如果以是否愿意将户口迁入打工城市作为制度性永久迁移意愿的指标,那么影响农民工迁移意愿的主要因素则相对集中在地域性因素和制度合法性压力上,是农民工寻求制度保障来改变城市生活境遇的社会理性选择。在不同迁移意愿的人群中,个体迁移动力与制度合法性压力作用是不一样的。     

论“缺席”现象

缺席是现象学讨论的一个重要问题,首先明确了缺席的概念,澄清了一些事物缺席的状况。我们意向存在的事物,我们在脑海中进行了想象,然后我们再意向这个想象的事物。对主体的感官缺席的事物有可能对主体的理智在场,对主体的理智缺席的事物有可能对主体的感官在场。     

Linking Perceived External Prestige and Intentions to Leave the Organization: The Mediating Role of Job Satisfaction and Affective Commitment

ABSTRACT

The present study examines social workers' beliefs about the prestige that outsiders (e.g., patients, suppliers, competitors, and the public) attribute to their organization and the way these beliefs influence the social workers' commitment to the organization they work for, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions (i.e., intentions to leave the organization). We collected two primary data sets (N = 160 and N = 489, respectively) from social workers in nonprofit social service organizations in Israel in 2001 and 2002. In general, the results show that perceived (construed) external prestige results in higher employee commitment and satisfaction, which, in turn, leads to lower levels of intention to leave the organization. The implications of these findings for research on organizational image and employee commitment are discussed, with particular emphasis on social workers in nonprofit social service organizations.     

服务补救程度对消费者情绪和行为意向的影响

采用情景模拟方法，以饭店服务失误和补救为例，分别测评了象征性补救、等值补救和超值补救对消费者情绪和行为意向的影响，结果发现:服务补救程度与消费者积极情绪、正面口碑传播和重购意向呈显著正相关，而与消费者消极情绪呈显著负相关；其次。获得补救消费者的积极情绪与正面口碑传播和重购意向呈显著正相关，消费者消极情绪与正面口碑传播和重购意向呈显著负相关。     

A cross-national study on adolescent substance use: Intentions,peer substance use,and parent-adolescent communication

This longitudinal two-wave cross-national study investigated whether intentions, friends' substance use, and parent-adolescent substance-use specific communication predict adolescent alcohol and cannabis use 1 year later, while estimating reversed links. The temporal order between these two substances was also examined. We used multi-group cross-lagged panel modeling on data from 2 ethnically and socioeconomically diverse samples: Sint Maarten (N = 350; M_age = 14.19) and the Netherlands (N = 602; M_age = 13.50). Results showed that in the Netherlands, cannabis use predicts more subsequent problems (alcohol use, intention to use cannabis, and affiliation with cannabis-using friends). But for Sint Maarten, alcohol use predicts more subsequent problems (cannabis use, intention to use alcohol, and affiliation with alcohol-using friends). These opposing results demonstrate that caution is warranted when generalizing results across countries.     

社会工作者的离职意愿：行业内与行业外的比较

为了回答行业内、外离职意愿社工是否为两个相似的群体以及是什么因素导致有些社工想要离开社工行业而另一些社工却只是想换一家机构两个问题，采用中国社会工作者职业现状调查的子样本开展研究（n=1 528）。结果表明，尽管行业外离职意愿社工在人力资源状况上并不显著优于行业内离职意愿社工，但行业外离职意愿社工比行业内离职意愿社工对当前职业和工作的态度或感受更消极，且家人对其从事社工职业的态度更消极，职业对家庭的影响也更消极。这一结果表明，行业内、外离职意愿社工并非两个相似（同质）的群体；Logistic回归分析的结果表明，社工是否为家庭经济主要来源、家人对社工从事该职业的态度，以及职业认同对社工的行业内、外离职意愿具有重要的影响。
