Images of the Virtuous Employee in China's Transitional Economy

We examine contemporary images of employee virtue and managers' perceptions of actual employee conduct in Wuhan, Beijing and Xi'an, drawing on document analysis and structured interviews with 112 respondents in ten case study companies. The image promulgation strategies of the one joint venture enterprise and the two private enterprises in our sample entailed active avowal of tradition linked employee virtue, drawing on a mixture of Communist and Confucian moral imagery. In contrast, most of the seven state-owned or predominantly state invested enterprises had abandoned or marginalized traditional Communist imagery, none promoted Confucian imagery, and two emphasized alternative images of one-sided servility toward the customer. We infer, from managers' accounts, that the abandonment of tradition linked images by the state-owned sector was a tacit acknowledgment of prior covenant violation, and that outside the state-owned sector, tradition linked moral propaganda contributed to moral atmosphere only when part of a consistent high-commitment HRM strategy. In drawing out implications for theory and further research, we note the different socio-political contexts of organizations in China and the West, discuss the relationship between bonds or covenants and psychological contracts, and compare tradition linked employee virtues with dimensions of organizational citizenship.     

当代尚武崇德精神之思辨

武术追求内外双修之功,要求武德与拳理、技术与修养结合。在当代社会背景下,尚武精神具体表现为:刚健自强,竞争合作;而崇德精神则具体表现为:内德外礼、崇德达礼。尚武精神与崇德精神是统一的。武术规则他律和武德、武礼自律同在。本文通过介绍尚武与崇德的关系和作用,从而指出用武和修身养性都离不开武德和武礼,武术规则以及社会法律与武德、武礼的相得益彰共同维护了社会的稳定和谐,这也是当代尚武崇德精神的价值所在。     

Does green morality lead to collaborative consumption behavior toward online collaborative redistribution platforms? Evidence from emerging markets shows the asymmetric roles of pro-environmental self-identity and green personal norms

The collaborative consumption toward online collaborative redistribution platforms can potentially ease sustainability problems. Although it has attracted the attention from academics and practitioners, research on its determinants and influencing mechanism is limited. This study develops an integrated theoretical framework to explore the impact of green morality and platform quality as potentially essential yet previously unexamined antecedents of collaborative consumption behavior toward online collaborative redistribution platforms. A questionnaire survey was conducted in a crucial emerging market, and consumer responses were assessed using a structural equation model. The results reveal that the green morality motive (i.e., pro-environment self-identity and green personal norms) and platform quality are determinants of collaborative consumption behavior. Second, platform quality moderate the relationship between green personal norms and attitude. Accordingly, the asymmetric roles of pro-environmental self-identity and green personal norms as green morality components are revealed. Third, attitude and intention play mediating roles in the relationship between collaborative consumption actions and antecedents. Finally, implications for both research and practice are discussed.     

再论经济活动中的公民道德建设

《公民道德建设实施纲要》颁布以来,我国的公民道德建设取得了可喜的成绩。但是,在汹涌澎湃的全球化浪潮和西方文化思想,价值观等因素的影响下,由于经济利益的驱动,现实生活中公民道德建设仍然存在不少问题。以胡锦涛为总书记的中共中央提出以人为本、构建和谐社会,需要全体公民的道德水平来支撑。作为道德要素的诚信问题,应当成为所有公民在经济活动中共同遵守的准则。只有政府诚信、企业诚信、行业诚信、公民诚信,整个社会才能诚信。经济活动中的各种不道德行为和现象才会减少,全社会公民的道德水平才能有一个飞跃,社会才会和谐。

关于社会主义市场经济道德的前提性问题

经济道德在其本质上,不仅是某一经济形态的道德规范与道德本性,它可以被看作是经济形态价值维度的辩证运动。无论是经济现象还是经济学,都不能不讲道德。社会主义市场经济要讲道德,除了一般原因之外,还由于它在本质上是一种道德经济。社会主义市场经济道德,无论在现实意义和理论意义上,必须坚持实事求是和务实求效的原则,在不同的经济领域实施不同的道德内容,并由上而下地引导与升华,使其根本价值旨趣指向集体主义原则。

新形势下高职院校特殊学生群体思想政治教育工作路径选择

在高等教育普及化发展阶段,高职院校教育面临学生社会化意识日益强化、个性化特征日益明显及信息数据获取更加便捷等新形势。在此背景下,高职院校特殊学生群体主体范围扩大化、群体心理敏感化、发展诉求隐匿化、社会交往边缘化,这些特点的存在不仅加大了高职院校思政教育工作的难度,而且不利于高职院校完成育人目标,对高职院校学生日常管理、安全稳定、学风建设、学生资助、就业创业工作形成巨大压力。所以,高职院校应探究特殊学生群体的发展现状,有针对性地开展思想政治教育工作,不断提升思想政治育人实效。高职院校应从特殊学生群体的基本特征和行为特征入手,强化全面育人的思想政治教育工作理念,健全特殊学生群体的信息数据;完善全员育人的思想政治教育工作机制,形成特殊学生群体服务合力;落实全程育人的思想政治教育工作模式,解决特殊学生群体发展问题;运用全方位育人思想政治教育工作方法,提升特殊学生群体工作实效。     

员工道德观对工作场所中员工角色外行为的作用机制

利用323对员工与上司的配对数据,从权变视角探讨了员工道德观对员工在工作场所中角色外行为(组织公民行为和组织越轨行为)的作用机制,并考察了直属上司的辱虐管理在这一机制中的调节作用。研究结果显示:员工行为受其道德观的指引,道德观水平较高的员工更倾向于执行组织公民行为且更不倾向于执行组织越轨行为;反之亦然;辱虐管理在这一机制中起负向调节作用。最后指出本研究的实践意义以及未来的研究趋势。     

Consumer biases in the perception of organizational greed

This article extends current models of how consumers judge or perceive organizations as greedy using the theoretical framework of motivated moral reasoning. We show that inherent features of an organization (size and ‘black sheep’ status) and its behaviour (relative frequency) bias consumer perceptions of organizational greed. We use an experimental methodology, present subjects with vignettes describing different scenarios, validate our questionnaire using confirmatory factor analysis, and test our hypotheses using a general linear model with covariates. Our findings suggest that consumer perceptions of organizational greed are subject to three effects: the underdog effect (Study 1, n = 496), the black sheep effect (Study 2, n = 229) and the ‘common is moral’ heuristic (Study 3, n = 249). This is the first study to investigate greed under a motivated reasoning paradigm and to show that perceptions of organizational greed are subject to socio-psychological biases. This study also provides advice on branding and positioning strategies that appeal to the underdog status of an organization or its local origins.
