Engaging leader – Engaged employees? A cross-lagged study on employee engagement

The goal of this study is to provide a cross-lagged examination of the relationships between engaging leadership, job resources and employee work engagement. We propose a mediation model and we postulate that engaging leadership can increase perceptions of three specific job resources (i.e. autonomy, support from colleagues and opportunities for learning and development) which theoretically correspond to the three facets of engaging leadership (i.e., inspiring, connecting and strengthening, respectively). Subsequently, in keeping with the extant body of Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) research, we link job resources to employee work engagement. Our hypotheses were tested on data collected at two time-points – T1 (N = 759) and T2 (N = 273) –from employees working for a hotel chain in the Netherlands. In line with our expectations, engaging leadership showed a significant cross-lagged relationship with autonomy and support from colleagues, but did not predict learning opportunities and work engagement across time. While we formulated specific hypotheses, we also tested reversed causation relationships. We found no direct effect from engaging leadership on employee work engagement, however, the reversed effect was significant; employee perceptions of engaging leadership were shaped by their own engagement experiences. Importantly, engaged employees at T1 reported more job resources at T2. By providing a cross-lagged examination of our model, we showed that engaging leaders as well as employees’ positive affective state of being engaged, are essential to shaping a resourceful work context. A comprehensive view on the triggers and outcomes of work engagement and engaging leadership is needed, as the traditional unidirectional cause-effect rationale fails to explain how these concepts relate to one another and to employee experiences of job resources.     

评价理论：在英语学习者口头叙事分析中的应用

以评价理论为框架,以英语学习者口头叙事为语料,从主体间立场的角度对英语学习者口头叙事作评价分析。分析结果显示,评价人物的口头叙事中英语学习者使用最多的评价资源是态度,其他依次是介入和级差。在此基础上,指出评价资源的选择与阐释带有历史与文化的价值取向,不同性别的英语学习者在选择评价资源的种类时存在差异。进而提出,虽然学习者在口头叙事中有意或无意地使用了部分评价资源,总体看来使用情况并不完全令人满意。     

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。     

从评价理论看“A Good Heart to Lean On”叙事手段

运用J．R．Martin的评价系统理论对课文“A Good Heart to Lean On”的叙事手段进行分析。将整篇课文置于评价系统中,从态度、介入和级差三方面具体地分析作者对父亲的情感变迁在词汇方面的体现,帮助学生更好地理解叙事作者是如何表达思想的,以此提高学生对语言的感悟力。     

汉代的父子关系考述

汉代家庭实行的是父家长制,父有教育惩罚子女、掌管家产、卖子、决定子女的婚姻等权力,但同时也有抚育子女、维持家庭生存的义务。子无权力可言,只有赡养父母、尊敬父母、安葬父母、祭祀父母等义务。汉代家庭中父子的不平等,主要是受到了当时伦理规范和法律制度的影响。汉代的父子关系对后世产生了重要影响。     

婚约法律问题初探

农村妇女在政治参与中存在的问题及改善措施

对农村妇女参与村民自治状况的实证分析表明,农村妇女在政治参与中仍处于劣势地位;改善这一状况,应从制度保护、妇女组织功能强化、女性自身素质提高等方面进行综合治理。     

Socially organized sentiments: Exploring the link between religious density and protest mobilization, 1960–1995

Extensive research has shown individual religiosity to have an impact upon U.S. protest participation. But very little work has examined the role of religious density in a community on the likelihood of protest mobilization. Our research links the religious density across 62 counties in New York State to various protest mobilization issues during the period of 1960–1995. In this research, we develop a theory of socially organized sentiments to examine religious influences on overall protest event mobilizations in local communities, a specific example of a more general theory that can link community structure to multiple forms of civic engagement. The impact of various religious traditions is assessed by using measures for the density of religious population per congregation of three religious traditions—Mainline Protestantism, Evangelical Protestantism and Catholicism. The analysis also assesses the likelihood of mobilization concerning four specific issues—African-American civil rights, gender, anti-nuclear/peace, and anti-poverty movements.     

婚约的性质和效力

婚约作为人类社会中一项法律制度,有着悠久的历史,在我国可追溯到西周。由于立法者对婚约的误读,我国现行婚姻法没有对婚约作出立法规定,而在我们现实生活中婚约仍然大量存在,并呈现出不同于古代婚约的许多新特征。就婚约性质而言,婚约是具有一定效果意思的表示行为,具有伦理性的特点,宜归为亲属法上的契约;就婚约的效力特征来说,基于对自由价值的保护,婚约作为一种亲属法上的契约,其权能受到限制,不得基于婚约提起缔结婚姻的诉讼或者缔结婚姻的判决不予执行,无强制力,因此,是类似自然债务的不完全债权。     

对大学生发展影响的实证研究———以学生参与度及学校环境感知为视角

采用偏最小二乘（PIs）方法对天津市五所高校的647名本科生进行调查统计分析,并用结构方程模型方法对学生有效教育活动的参与度、学校环境感知、学生发展以及学生满意之间的影响关系进行检验,结果显示：学生参与度、学校环境感知及学生发展是多维度的,学生参与度通过学习活动、实践活动及思维意识三方面来测量,学校环境感知体现在课程构建、教师引导、硬件条件及服务支持四个方面,而学生发展包括认知发展、通识发展和自我发展;且有效教育活动的参与程度对学生发展具有显著的积极影响,学校环境感知对学生发展有直接的积极影响,同时通过学生参与的中介效应对学生发展产生间接影响;而学生发展对学生满意度有显著的积极影响。
