Mediating role of mentoring functions on linking personality and occupational commitment in Indian organizations

ABSTRACT

This study investigated the mediating effect of mentoring on the relationship between the Five Factor Model (FFM) Personality traits and occupational commitment (OC). The study used cross-sectional survey-based research design. Data were collected from 362 managers of public and private sector organizations located in North India. The results indicated that psychosocial mentoring acts as a partial mediator for facilitating the linkage between all the FFM traits and OC. Contrary to this, career mentoring was found to partially mediate the link between only conscientiousness-OC, agreeableness-OC and emotional stability-OC. No mediating effect of career mentoring was found for personality factors of openness and extraversion. HRD practitioners are encouraged to implement train-for-trainers’ sessions for raising awareness among senior managers/mentors about the importance of psychosocial mentoring functions. This study is unique, because it is among the few to appropriately capture the mediating role of mentoring functions vis a vis the personality and OC relationship. Further, it also enriches the existing body of research on workplace mentoring and careers, especially in the South-Asian context.

陶渊明的诗化人格

作家的人格是其作品风格的内在因素 ,往往决定着其作品的风格。我们在研究作品风格的时候 ,不能不关注作家的人格。只有对作家的人格进行全面深入的审视 ,才能更准确地理解和把握其作品的风格。探讨陶渊明的人格魅力及其特征 ,是深入研究陶渊明作品风格的至关重要的途径。从陶渊明的作品中 ,从他的言行中 ,我们可以领悟到他的情趣和胸襟 ,领悟到一种具体的人格。陶渊明自然率真平和旷达的个性特征构筑了他的诗化人格 ,即未经世俗异化的高尚贞洁的人格。这种人格的内在思想根源是自然化迁的宇宙观和委运自然的人生观。这种人格的外在表现形式是他任真自得和固穷守节的行为方式。他的作品中常见的酒与菊、孤松、孤云与归鸟等艺术形象组成了陶渊明诗化人格的象征系列

公共政策的社会观基础

本文从一个新的视角──社会现的视角──审视了公共政策。因为在过去的有关公共政策的定义中，我们无法看出各个政策的重大区别，而事实上它们在是否符合人性的需求，充分考虑民意的基础并有效促进了人民的自由与福利等方面是有着重大区别的。本文将公共政策界定为是一定的权利中心在众多备选的计划、规划或可行之行动方案中作出选择并采取行动的这样一个过程。由此对选择的社会观基础进行考察，社会观影响到了人们对待集体行动的态度，进而又影响到社会秩序观。而持有不同的社会秩序观的人对公共政策有着根本不同的看法，最终得出好的公共政策的基本的制度安排。     

源自身体的创造以现代舞教育塑造学生的创造性人格

现代舞自身的多变性、个性、原创性特征,与大学生开放活跃的心智、健全的体能、强烈的好奇心等身心特征有相通之处;现代舞的训练机制注重自我创造的内涵,能启发大学生思维的敏锐性和创建意识,催进创造性的培育;现代舞的多变独创魅力还可以在审美观念上引导大学生突破传统审美观念束缚、树立宽容豁达的理性精神,以个性化的参与去引发创造.所有这些,均与素质教育的创造目标有相通之处.     

Generations,Identities, and the Collective Memory of Che Guevara1

Has the image of Che Guevara lost its power to evoke radical politics in the face of pervasive commodification? The commercialization of this 1960s political icon has called into question the power of the market to shape collective memories. Meanwhile, antisystemic movements of the left continue to erect his image at protest events. In light of this contest over how Che Guevara is remembered, we investigate, using data from a survey of Spanish citizens, who is most likely to recall him. We find qualified support for the theory of generational imprinting—Che is more often recalled by those generations who saw him rise to prominence during their formative years, although prominent as a collective symbol rather than as a living person. Our results also corroborate the claim that historical figures or events are more salient for, and therefore more likely to be remembered by, some subgenerational units than others. Thus, although the younger generations are in general more likely than their elders to recall Che, he is most frequently remembered by the highly educated leftists who espouse postmaterialist and posttraditionalist values and identify more with their local regions than with the nation of Spain. These patterns suggest that, in contrast to the dire predictions of mass culture theorists, the memory of Che Guevara has become increasingly tied to markers of social, ethnic‐regional, and political identity.     

单位词用法探析

以单位词为中心词的名词词组的深层结构决定单位词的语法特征和语义特征。该深层结构多半可以通过单位词的转换功能映现为主动句或被动句的表层结构。在表层结构中,主语名词除去语法形位后的最后一个音节和谓语动词的第一个音段的组合在语音上是可接纳的。     

大学生自我容纳与人格特征的相关研究
