工作场所越轨行为的形态、员工反应与组织对策

工作场所越轨行为是指组织成员有意采取的针对其他组织成员或组织财物的违反组织重要主流规范的行为。本文旨在探讨当前工作场所越轨行为的形态特征、员工的反应以及工作场所越轨行为与组织对策间的关系。通过对580名员工的问卷调查,研究发现:(1)生产型过失、损公肥私与合作破坏行为是最常见的工作场所越轨行为类型;(2)员工最不能容忍的是违法行为与合作破坏行为;(3)视情形而定与沉默是员工较可能采取的对工作场所越轨行为的反应方式;(4)曝光与存档有利于防控生产型过失、损公肥私与合作破坏行为,定向引导有助于防控违法行为。     

国内外橡胶价格的动态关系分析

运用协整分析、格兰杰因果检验、脉冲响应函数等计量方法,使用1997年1月到2009年12月国内天然橡胶橡胶、国内合成橡胶、国际天然橡胶的月平均价格数据,研究了各类价格之间的动态关系。研究结果表明:国内天然橡胶、合成橡胶与以人民币计价的天然橡胶国际价格存在长期均衡关系,但与美元计价的价格则不存在;国内天然橡胶价格偏离时受其与国际市场的长期均衡的调整力强,国内天然橡胶和合成橡胶的均衡调整对后者的调整作用更大;天然橡胶国际市场价格对国内天然橡胶和合成橡胶价格都有较强的预测力,国内合成橡胶价格对天然橡胶价格具有预测力,反之,预测力很弱;国际天然橡胶价格变动对国内天然橡胶和合成橡胶的冲击大,尤其是对前者,但国内价格变动对国际价格的冲击力小;国内天然橡胶价格对来自合成橡胶的冲击反映相对慢,幅度也相对小,反之,则较为强烈。     

中国天然橡胶消费与经济增长实证研究

本研究基于C-D生产函数,采用1980～2008年的数据,并将其扩展引入天然橡胶消费量(NRC),轮胎外胎产量(LT),通过建立多变量的VAR模型与脉冲响应函数分析中国天然橡胶消费与经济增长的关系。研究发现:劳动、资本、天然橡胶消费、轮胎外胎产量与GDP之间存在长期均衡的关系,经济的增长对与天然橡胶消费量的增加具有较强的带动作用,相反天然橡胶消费量的波动对GDP的影响却很小。最后根据分析结果提出相关政策建议。     

困境与回应：罗尔斯对“原初状态”理论的修正

＂原初状态＂理论既是罗尔斯正义理论的逻辑起点,又是罗尔斯正义原则的论证方法,其要素包括选项预设、信息预设、主体预设、环境预设、心理预设五个方面。虽然罗尔斯的正义理论行文结构严谨,论证审慎小心,结论豁达易行,但他的＂原初状态＂理论同样受到＂社群主义＂和＂自由主义＂的批判。前者批评的焦点集中在契约各方——主体的假设上,后者则集中在社会合作必要性、可能性和利益性方面。出于对以上批评的回应,罗尔斯对＂原初状态＂理论的三个方面即理论适用范围、社会特征、契约主体作了认真的修正,以期进一步增强理论的说服力。     

Service Problems,Service Crises and Service Disasters

ABSTRACT

This paper discusses the need for tourism service organisations to implement effective ways of responding to their clients when a problem occurs in the delivery of a service. Failure to recognise or respond appropriately to a problem when it occurs can cause a crisis which requires more organisational resources and skills to overcome, and if this is not achieved the original problem may result in desertion of the company by its clients, or adverse publicity impacting severely on the company's success. The paper presents a short illustrative case study. The paper suggests that organisations may learn from analysing service problems how to adopt adaptive strategies to minimse the negative consequences of future service failures. It indicates the need for further studies to improve the responsive of organisations to service problems.     

Why persistent high inflation impedes growth? An empirical assessment of threshold level of inflation for India

In the policy debate on growth–inflation trade-off and the role of monetary policy in managing the trade-off in the short-run, theoretical and empirical research suggests the presence of a country specific threshold level of inflation. Empirical findings of this paper suggest that for India the threshold level of inflation could be around 6%. The inflation target for monetary policy may have to be somewhat lower than the growth maximizing threshold, since any positive inflation could be a risk to inclusive and sustainable growth objective.     

Aggregate supply response in Tanzanian agriculture

Tanzania is among the many African countries that have engaged in agricultural liberalization since the mid-1980s. in the hope that reforms that introduce price incentives and efficient marketing will encourage producers to respond. This paper assesses that claim by examining the supply response of agricultural output in Tanzania. Our estimates suggest that aggregate agricultural supply response is quite high so that the potential for agricultural sector response to liberalization of agricultural prices and marketing may be quite significant. The long-run elasticity of aggregate food crop output to relative prices was almost unity. Short-run supply responses were estimated at about 0.35 for aggregate food crops and for all (food and export) crops. Liberalization of agricultural markets, where it increases the effective prices paid to farmers, can be effective in promoting production, although complementary interventions, to improve infrastructure, marketing, access to inputs and credit, improved production technology etc, are probably necessary.     

A true simulation study of three estimators at equal protection of respondents in randomized response sampling

In this study, three different estimators for estimating the proportion of a sensitive attribute in survey sampling are compared at equal protection of the respondents. The three estimators considered are due to Odumade and Singh (2009, Comm. Statist. Theory Methods) , Singh and Sedory (2011, Sociological Methods and Research) and a new estimator obtained by minimizing a chi‐squared distance. A SAS Macro is developed to compare these three estimators using a simulation study at equal protection of the respondents. A set of data from a real face‐to‐face interview was collected using two decks of cards and has been analyzed. The results are discussed.     

西部欠发达地区FDI与经济增长的动态关系研究——以广西数据为例

以广西1986～2009年有关数据为基础,运用协整分析、脉冲响应函数和方差分解分析等方法,对外商直接投资和经济增长之间的动态关系进行实证分析.结果显示:广西的外商直接投资与经济增长之间具有长期均衡关系,而且FDI对GDP增长具有较弱的正效应,短期具有一定的波动性。最后,提出相关的政策措施。
