Female Perceptions of Organizational Justice

This study examines women's conceptualization of the pervasive construct of organizational justice. A comprehensive four factor model was used to represent organizational justice while outcome variables were the important employee attitudes of job satisfaction, organizational commitment and turnover intentions. Structural equation modelling was used to analyse responses from 301 male and 147 female respondents. Differences were found for procedural, interpersonal and informational justices. It would appear female and male employees have differing responses to perceptions of justice. Justice had a diffuse effect for males, but not for females. For men, interpersonal justice predicted an increase in organizational commitment while procedural justice predicted a decrease in turnover intentions. For female employees, informational justice was found to increase commitment and reduce turnover intentions. The study highlights the need for all justice factors to be considered and for sex differences to be considered in future justice research.     

Unsettling research versus activism: how might critical disability studies disrupt traditional research boundaries?

Abstract

This article responds to the call for producing activist-oriented scholarship by engaging with theoretical and methodological approaches that explore the inclusion of women and girls with disabilities in Vietnam. We consider possibilities for connecting different forms of knowledge and activism by reflecting on research practices designed to foster social change. Specifically, we ask: how can critical disability studies be more reflexive about knowledge which privileges particular ways of knowing from the Global North? What alternative possibilities can exist to foster more inclusive and transformative knowledge that tackles systemic forms of oppressions in colonial and postcolonial contexts? Reflecting on an ongoing collaborative project in Vietnam, we argue that critical disability studies which engages with different forms of activism through critical reflections on our privileges can tackle exclusion by opening a new platform for debating social justice transnationally.     

Strategies for fostering basic psychological needs support in high quality youth leadership programs

Youth leadership programming has become an increasingly common context to foster basic psychological needs and promote youth development. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore strategies involved in fostering youth needs support within six leadership programs. Two leaders and 30 youth participated in semi-structured interviews to better understand the strategies used to foster needs support. Findings revealed that leaders were able to foster a sense of relatedness among youth through building trusting adult-youth relationships and nurturing an inclusive environment. Maximizing choice and negotiating youth voice helped to foster youth’s autonomy. Finally, creating a task-oriented climate and providing intentional opportunities for skill-building helped to foster youth’s competence. Findings suggest that training for leaders is critical in understanding what, and how strategies should be employed to help foster youth needs support in leadership programming. Limitations and future directions are outlined.

Theme and Variations——Based on the Structural Analysis of the Evolution of China＇s Youth Values in 20 Years

社会结构的变迁，必然导致人的文化价值观念结构的变迁。初创于20世纪90年代中国社会主义市场经济，带来中国社会结构的巨大变动，同时也是青年价值观变化最快、最深刻的时段。该文聚焦于“后一代”青年特性融入社会结构变迁这一背景，分析其时代特性以及社会结构的嵌入性。近20年来，青年在接受社会文化和价值观影响的同时，也在不断地挑战主流文化及其价值观，创造其新的文化和价值观。因此，主导价值观被青年所认同与接受的同时，也将更多吸纳青年价值观中具有活性的成分．从而使社会主流意识因为得到青年文化的反哺而走向年轻。

南极资源利用与中国参与——基于自主治理理论的分析

南极资源是未来人类发展的重要资源宝库,在各国经济社会发展和国际政治博弈中都扮演着重要的角色。作为国际公共资源的南极资源其利益可以由全人类共享。各国在南极资源的开发和利用过程中贯彻自主治理理论的基本原则,建立起一系列多层次的南极资源利用的制度规范,规制各国的机会主义行为,是科学利用南极资源、避免“公有地悲剧”的有效途径。南极是中国重要的海外战略资源储备基地,作为南极利益的攸关方,当前中国应当从供给新制度、增强可信承诺以及强化监督3个方面积极维护国家南极资源权益。
