Morality rules: Understanding the role of prior reputation in consequences of scansis

A favorable reputation casts positive influences over organizations’ short- and long-term development, which can be especially important when organizations grapple with unpredictable challenges such as organizational crises. Yet, keeping a good track record might also backfire to cause more reputational damages, which is often observed when organizations deal with value-oriented moral crises. Against this backdrop, drawing from the literature on crisis communication and moral psychology, we situated our study in the scansis context, a particular type of morality-focused negative situation featuring characteristics of both crisis and scandal, and explored effects of prior reputation on people’s responses to an organizational scansis. Through an online experiment (N = 293), we found severe backlash towards the scansis-stricken organization in both the control condition (i.e., no indication of reputation) and the good reputation condition, whereas such prominent difference was not observed in the bad reputation condition. The findings thus implicated the need to take the unique role of morality in scansis into account in both pertinent research and practice.     

The promise and perversity of perspective-taking in organizations

Successful managers and leaders need to effectively navigate their organizational worlds, from motivating customers and employees to managing diversity to preventing and resolving conflicts. Perspective-taking is a psychological process that is particularly relevant to each of these activities. The current review critically examines perspective-taking research conducted by both management scholars and social psychologists and specifies perspective-taking's antecedents, consequences, mechanisms, and moderators, as well as identifies theoretical and/or empirical shortfalls. Our summary of the current state of perspective-taking research offers three important contributions. First, we offer a new definition of perspective-taking: the active cognitive process of imagining the world from another's vantage point or imagining oneself in another's shoes to understand their visual viewpoint, thoughts, motivations, intentions, and/or emotions. Second, we highlight that although perspective-taking has many positive benefits for managers and leaders, it also carries with it the potential for perverse effects. Third, we argue that previous theoretical lenses to understand perspective-taking's goal are insufficient in light of all the available evidence. Instead, we offer a new theoretical proposition to capture the full range of perspective-taking's positive and negative effects: perspective-taking helps individuals effectively navigate a world filled with mixed-motive social interactions. Our mixed-motive model of perspective-taking not only captures the current findings but also offers new directions for future research.

生态学马克思主义对生态价值观的重构

西方“深绿”思潮把人类中心主义价值观看作是当代生态危机的根源,强调只有破除人类中心主义价值观,确立以“自然价值论”和“自然权利论”为主要内容的生态中心主义价值观,才能解决生态危机。西方“浅绿”思潮在为人类中心主义价值观作辩护的同时,对近代强式人类中心主义价值观做了必要的修正,最终形成以“开明的人类中心主义”和“弱式人类中心主义”为主要内容的现代人类中心主义价值观。西方“红绿”思潮中的有机马克思主义则批判现代性价值体系本质上是一种漠视人类之外的存在物的价值和利益的人类中心主义,由此必然导致人类与自然关系的扭曲和生态危机,因此应当以承认自然存在物的内在价值为前提,展开共同体价值观培育的有机教育。“红绿”思潮中的生态学马克思主义则是在批判“深绿”和“浅绿”思潮所主张的生态价值观的基础上,重建了“人类中心主义价值观”和“生态中心主义价值观”,但他们与“深绿”、“浅绿”思潮的本质区别在于他们重建的两种价值观始终是与对资本主义制度和生产方式的批判联系在一起的。     

北京市行政-立法关系研究——基于北京市人大立法过程的视角

基于北京市人大常委会门户网站,通过收集第十三、十四届北京市人大在立法过程各个阶段的实证数据,分析了北京市人大和政府在立法过程中各自所发挥的作用,从而探究北京市行政-立法关系.研究发现,北京市人大在现实运行中尚未实现其主导功能,具体表现为:"官员"代表和兼职代表比例高、"行政部门化"趋向、程序性手段效用缺失、立法解释权虚置.但是,与此同时实证数据也显示北京市近两届人大正通过调整代表结构、提前介入、强化实质性审议等手段提升立法自主性,推动人大制度与时俱进.     

资源依赖与劳动法律文本的行动结果

为促进科学立法,揭示在实践中影响着劳动法律行动结果的因素,利用上海、深圳、天津等10个城市的问卷调查数据,以《劳动合同法》中关于劳动合同签订的文本规定为切入点,从交换理论的视角出发进行了Logistic回归模型分析,发现劳动关系中的资源依赖格局,会影响行为主体在劳动法律干预下的行为选择与演化,从而影响劳动法律文本的行动结果。社会关系及其在法律干预下的发展规律,是法律调节社会关系的客观现实和经验基础。要有效地实现法律在国家治理中的重要职能,亟需进一步推进经验层面的实证研究。     

中华传统核心价值观的历史变迁与传承

中华传统核心价值观内涵丰富、自成系统,具有强大的吸附力,其在社会转型的过程中不断自我更新与成长.以儒家思想为代表的传统文化体系其强大之处在于,它能构建出既深不可测的神圣信仰又接地气的操作手册,能够真正代表中华民族的精神生活、能够表现出士子的哲学思想并以此区别于他族别国的思想与价值特质.中华传统核心价值观与社会主义核心价值观是继承和创新的关系.

From Adversaries to Allies: Relief Workers' Attitudes Toward the US Military

Although soldiers and relief workers traditionally have engaged in conflicting missions—killing versus saving lives—recent peacekeeping operations have required the two groups to work together on humanitarian efforts. Interviews with aid workers in Bosnia and in Haiti reveal that this traditionally antimilitary population has come to support military interventions in their regions. They have developed a cooperative relationship with the military despite lingering doubts and persistent cultural differences. This recent shift in attitudes demonstrates that the concept of task cohesion, developed from studies of small-group dynamics, can be applied at the organizational level. Organizations that share a common goal and that depend on one another to reach that goal can develop a cooperative relationship and yet retain distinct organizational memberships and cultures.
