Tests of symmetry based on transformed empirical processes

A probability distribution function F is said to be symmetric when 1 ‐ F(x) ‐ F(‐x) = 0 for all x∈ R. Given a sequence of alternatives contiguous to a certain symmetric F₀, the authors are concerned with testing for the null hypothesis of symmetry. The proposed tests are consistent against any nonsymmetric alternative, and their power with respect to the given sequence can easily be optimized. The tests are constructed by means of transformed empirical processes with an adequate selection of the underlying isometry, and the optimum power is obtained by suitably choosing the score functions. The test statistics are very easy to compute and their asymptotic distributions are simple.     

转型期我国乡镇政府组织重构探究

农村税费改革后，现行的乡镇政府职能和组织机构与当前农村社会发展的形势不相适应的矛盾日益突出。当前乡镇机构存在的问题主要表现在两个方面：一是机构庞大，人员臃肿；二是职能没有准确定位。因此，乡镇政府需要加快政府职能转变，撤乡并镇，精简人员，合理设置组织机构。     

关系格局、关系运作与私营企业组织演变

中国的关系格局是一种差序格局,中国私营企业家的行为是关系导向的,家族价值观决定了企业家行为选择的基本方向。中国私营企业家具体的关系运作模式是一种渗透模式:以己为中心,通过血缘关系、亲缘关系、地缘关系不断地向外延伸来扩展自己的关系网络。中国私营企业家进行企业内、企业间、企业与政府三种方式的关系运作,会不断地打破私营企业发展过程中面临的政策壁垒与市场壁垒的双重压力,结果,私营企业组织形式也发生了相应的演变。     

Time,Stress and Intellectual Engagement in Academic Work: Exploring Gender Difference

This article is based on a pilot study that examines the effects of recent organizational and public policy changes on Canadian academics' work practices and academic culture. It explores the differences between the use of online technologies by women and male academics in managing these effects. It interprets the complex and often contradictory findings of the study through the lens of time theorization, and speculates about the broader cultural implications of academics' changing work practices, including the possibility of a gestalt shift in the identity of the university, less as a site of research and reflection on society and increasingly as a productive and efficient part of the economy.     

Associations among altruism, burnout dimensions, and organizational citizenship behaviour

Most studies of burnout have focused on lack of resources, prevalence of burnout, and negative outcomes. In contrast, this study examined the relationships among altruism, burnout and a positive outcome, namely, the engagement in organizational citizenship behaviour. Web questionnaires were distributed to employees in three professional organizations. The results from the 178 respondents indicated that altruism is related to organizational citizenship behaviour. Of the three dimensions of burnout, only reduced personal accomplishment was (negatively) associated with engagement in organizational citizenship behaviours. Implications of the results are discussed and directions for future research are offered.

对变革保险企业组织结构的思考

面对日趋激烈的国际化竞争,增强自身实力,跟上全球化的步伐,已成为内资保险企业的共识。在发展与改革中,传统组织结构的问题日趋显现出来,变革势在必行。新的组织结构中,职能部门数量及级别被压缩,企业的组织机构不再是“多级管理”,而是呈现“扁平化”趋势,专业技术组织的职能部门之间的“边界”将淡化,团队在企业组织中体现出主要地位。     

养怡之福，可得永年——谈谈古代的养生健体诗

现代人的健康标准是强调身心两方面的健康。古人也早已认识到了这一点,他们以诗的形式阐明心理不健康会影响到身体健康。古人还以诗的形式批判了"服食求神仙"的荒谬行径,强调要想养生健体必须以唯物主义的态度,注意饮食卫生,要节制饮食,不暴饮暴食。此外还要注意睡眠卫生和节欲。这些养生健体诗对今人仍有借鉴意义。
