Beyond workaholism: Towards a general model of heavy work investment

Although the term workaholism is widely used, little consensus exists about its meaning, and there is a great need for further theoretical and methodological advancement. We attempt to address this need by introducing the concept of Heavy Work Investment (HWI), and viewing workaholism as only one of its subtypes. Furthermore, we propose a model consisting of four main components: HWI, its possible predictors, its types, and its outcomes.In this model, using Weiner's (1985) attributional framework, we differentiate between situational and dispositional types of HWI, each with its own subtypes, as based on the predictors of such an investment. For example, financial-needs-based and employer-directed are situational subtypes, whereas workaholism and work-devotion are dispositional subtypes. Based on the proposed HWI model, we compare dispositional investors with situational investors.Finally, the measurement of HWI, as well as future research directions (study of situational investors, research across time and cultures, and exploration of inter-generational similarity/difference) is also discussed.     

Towards a re-examination of work arrangements: An analysis from Rawls' Theory of Justice

Using Rawls' Theory of Justice, this paper critically examines the systemic fairness of work arrangements. The analysis suggests that the simultaneous use of different work arrangements, such as knowledge-based employment and contract work, often seems to conflict with the principles that, according to Rawls, would make them a fair manner of managing people in organizations. Possibly, this could explain the growing social debate and concern about the new modes of employment. This work underscores the need for researchers to develop a systemic and more critical view of the idea of justice in HR literature so that it can confront its critics and acquire greater social legitimisation.     

创新人格教育理论发展空间的再寻找

创新教育已经成为当前我国教育改革的基本理念,创新人格培养是其中很重要的一个环节。然而,当下的创新人格教育理论似乎难以解答当前在教育实践中碰到的许多问题,培养学生的创新人格也逐渐的沦为形式化。因此,本文在反思现阶段大学生人格危机问题的基础上,就创新人格教育理论的发展空间进行了三方面的路径的融合,国际视野的"重构"之路;本土文化的"考古学"之路;教育实践的"应变性"之路。本文就丰富和发展中国现有的创新教育理论,引领创新人格培养走出教育实践的困境具有重要的理论与现实意义。     

The Self‐Help Myth: Towards a Theory of Philanthropy as Consensus Broker

This article presents a theoretical and methodological approach to studying how philanthropic power is maintained through the process of negotiating consensus between greatly unequal partners such as wealthy funders and social movement leaders. It is proposed that grant agreements between private foundations and social movement organizations construct idealized spaces of public participation and discursive theories of change that draw attention away from structural inequality and antagonism, ultimately generating consent. Drawing upon archival and ethnographic research on philanthropic investments in addressing migrant poverty in California's Central Valley, the article shows how consensus between foundation staff and farmworker and immigrant organizers promote funding frameworks that exclude questions that challenge relationships of power and systems of agricultural production that contribute to enduring poverty across the region. The Gramscian conceptual frames of “discursive power,” “hegemony as politics,” and “strategic articulation” are presented as a theoretical framework from which to understand the power of private philanthropy as consensus broker during historical moments of crisis.

Organizational attractiveness in Japan:a screening perspective

This study examines the effects of several organizational characteristics on job applicant attributions of organizational attractiveness in Japan. The results from 11,060 Japanese university students, 3,678 seniors specializing in engineering&science who judged 156 firms and 7,382 seniors majoring in liberal arts who evaluated 150 firms, demonstrate that some of the organizational characteristics studied do serve as organizational attractiveness screening devices (Stiglitz, 1975). First, work-force size was related to organizational attractiveness for both student cohorts, as hypothesized. On the contrary, the age of the organization had no effect on organizational attractiveness for either group. The effects for two other variables, sales and profits, were mixed. Sales was related to organizational attractiveness for the engineering&science cohort, but not for the liberal arts cohort. Alternatively, profits were associated with organizational attractiveness for the liberal art students, but not the engineering&science students.     

Organizational AIDS policies: Aiming at a moving target

This article examines the effect that theArline decision is likely to have on organizational policies regarding terminations when such actions involve AIDS-afflicted employees working in organizations that are subject to the provisions of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Certain criteria that must be considered when an organization is contemplating terminations involving this class of employees are defined. In addition, a systematic analysis technique which may provide insights in arriving at such employment decisions is specified. Finally, the authors identify several elements which have yet to be adequately addressed by existing legislation or court decisions that serve to impede the establishment of effective policies in this area.     

Looking for a Guide to Protect the Environment: The Development of the Precautionary Principle

Abstract.  If the precautionary principle is to become the guide of the international community for environmental protection policies, an economic interpretation of the principle is in order. The analysis of case studies and a survey of the recent decision theoretic literature show the lack of a fully satisfactory economic model. More generally various theoretical and empirical results show that the principle cannot be assumed to apply a priori . Though it has been proposed by international treaties as a rule of thumb for situations of scientific uncertainty, the precautionary principle could actually be inefficient.     

Growth and Unemployment: Towards a Theoretical Integration

We observe in the literature of the past decade some innovative contributions identified a relation between economic growth and long run unemployment. This set of contributions is composed of very few elements, all characterized by a high degree of heterogeneity about their features and about their final results.
In the first part of the survey we provide a classification of these early contributions. In the second part we explore some alternative formulations of the problem and we present a wider set of models displaying interesting features, able to promote further studies about the persistence of unemployment in a growing economy.     

Measuring housing affordability: Looking beyond the median

We draw a distinction between the concepts of purchase affordability (whether a household is able to borrow enough funds to purchase a house) and repayment affordability (the burden imposed on a household of repaying the mortgage). We operationalize this distinction in the context of a new methodology for constructing affordability measures that draws on the value-at-risk concept and takes account of the whole distribution of household income and house prices rather than just the median. Empirically we find that the distinction between purchase and repayment affordability can be pronounced. In the Sydney prime mortgage market over the period 1996–2006, repayment affordability deteriorated very significantly while purchase affordability remained quite stable. This difference can be attributed to the loosening of credit constraints in the mortgage market which it seems has carried through primarily into higher house prices rather than an improvement in purchase affordability. We also show how median house-price-to-income ratio measures of affordability can be extended to take account of the whole distribution of income and house prices, and how as a result of differential skewness in the house price and income distributions the housing affordability problem may be significantly worse for lower income households than suggested by standard median measures.     

国企土地再开发的产权理论研究——超越科斯谈判的产权创设视角

国有企业有限持有的土地使用权与地方政府强势控制的土地发展权构成了国企划拨土地的特殊产权结构,并在土地再开发过程中涉及复杂的利益博弈.现有文献中常用科斯谈判去理解优势区位的国企土地无法更新的交易成本根源,但在发生再开发行为中的解释存在明显的局限性.研究提出一个命题,即认为产权主体创设新产权形式的效率要比谈判中的利益博弈大...
