19世纪末20世纪初英国劳资关系转变与工人阶级福利

19世纪末20世纪初是英国社会转型时期。工人阶级力量壮大使劳资关系走向平等化,劳资双方的博弈使两者的权益得到更加平等的分配,而这种分配则由代表统治阶级的国家以社会福利政策的形式来执行,使劳、资、政三方的要求都得到满足,换来更加和谐的劳资关系、经济发展和社会稳定,也为全民福利国家的构建打下基础。     

Close but not committed? The multiple dimensions of relational embeddedness

This research addresses the complexity of embedded inter-firm ties. Based on both qualitative and quantitative data from field research in the computer motherboard manufacturing industry, this paper investigates the origins of close ties and committed relationships, and explores the relationships between these two dimensions of embedded inter-firm relationships. The results show that companies establish close relationships with their partners to resolve coordination uncertainty due to a high level of task interdependence in their exchanges, and that firms become more collaboratively committed when they seek to alter a disadvantaged power asymmetry. At the same time, the fieldwork found an underlying conflict between the embeddedness dimensions of closeness and commitment: too much closeness reduces a partner’s commitment. These findings have significant implications for the formation of embedded corporate ties as well as the effects of embeddedness on organizations.

国际政治关系中的"第二轨道"析论

"第二轨道"是介于官方外交("第一轨道")与纯民间交流("第三轨道")之间的一种特殊渠道,其突出特征是非官方性和有意识地影响官方决策。它凭借非官方的身份及与官方决策的特殊关系,在国际政治中发挥着独特而又重要的作用。"第二轨道"的兴起是当代国际政治演化发展的必然产物。它既给人们提供了一种认识国际政治关系的新的分析框架和研究范式,也有着优化国际政治关系、增加信任、缓解危机、推动国际政治关系向前发展的重要实践意义。     

国际关系中的政治影响力探析

在当代国际关系中,国际竞争的焦点无疑仍然是以经济和科技为核心的硬实力的竞争。然而,随着经济全球化的深入发展和全球相互依存时代的到来,国际政治的性质正发生前所未有的变化,作为综合国力的组成部分,无形权力的重要性日益显现。过去常常为人所轻视的国际政治影响力,现在对于一个国家的生存和发展则越来越具有不容忽视的影响。     

Timeliness,responsiveness and the human voice: The effects of dialogic strategies and the mediating role of perceived communication ethicality on social media relationship building

This study investigates how social media can be better managed to cultivate positive organization-public relationships. It advances an expanded and integrated conceptual model to test how the communication features of corporate pages on social networking sites may influence publics’ perception of the organization’s communication ethicality, which further predicts organization-public relationships as a compound index of trust, commitment, and satisfaction. The results, based on structural equation modeling, showed that three important communication strategies are success factors that could shape perceptions of communication ethicality: timeliness, responsiveness, and the use of human voice in a dialogic framework. In particular, publics’ perception of the organization’s communication ethicality emerged as a key mediator driving communication effects to foster positive relationships with stakeholders in an online environment.     

Politeness as signs of difference: Semiotic differentiation and identity among Taiwanese in China

This study examines a prevalent discourse on Taiwanese politeness as part and parcel of identity and ideological work among Taiwanese residing in China. Using as data spontaneous discussions about politeness in interviews and online forum posts that evaluate politeness, this study explores how politeness is taken up as a sign to index Taiwan–China differences and how identity is simultaneously constructed throughout this ideological work, focusing on the succession of semiotic differentiations within or across talks and texts. Throughout this process, various qualitative contrasts are made and grouped by the soft/hard schema, and differentiation between Taiwan and China is constructed. The study also considers relevant historical and social conditions and explores how the complex Taiwan–China relations may give rise to the prevalence of such a discourse.

Recurrence relations for moments of progressively censored order statistics from logistic distribution with applications to inference

In this paper, we establish several recurrence relations for the single and product moments of progressively Type-II right censored order statistics from a logistic distribution. The use of these relations in a systematic manner allows us to compute all the means, variances and covariances of progressively Type-II right censored order statistics from the logistic distribution for all sample sizes n, effective sample sizes m, and all progressive censoring schemes (R₁,…,R_m). The results established here generalize the corresponding results for the usual order statistics due to [Shah, 1966] and [Shah, 1970]. These moments are then utilized to derive best linear unbiased estimators of the location and scale parameters of the logistic distribution. A comparison of these estimators with the maximum likelihood estimations is then made. The best linear unbiased predictors of censored failure times are briefly discussed. Finally, an illustrative example is presented.     

Unanticipated Educational Consequences of a Positive Parent‐Child Relationship

If today there exists a single transcendent idea about the family‐school connection, it is that a positive parent‐child relationship improves children's chances of succeeding in school. However, using data from the Texas Higher Education Opportunity Project (N = 5,836), we demonstrate that, although positive parent‐child relations are associated with better academic achievement in high school, they also are associated with an increased desire to live at home during college, which in turn decreases students' chances of enrolling in a 4‐year college. Furthermore, we replicated some of these associations using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (N = 10,120), demonstrating that positive family dynamics can influence educational outcomes in potentially divergent and unanticipated directions.
