“老好人”能当好团队领导吗?——团队领导宜人性与团队创造力的关系

中国人自古有"不得罪人""以和为贵"等方面的文化沉淀。受传统文化的影响,中国企业在团队管理实践中不免出现团队领导的"老好人"式管理。团队领导当"老好人"是会促进还是会阻碍团队创造力的提升,这在理论探讨和管理实践上是个有趣的议题。在倡导企业创新驱动的新时代背景下,本文针对团队领导"老好人"现象,从信息加工视角,运用自我分类理论观点,建立团队领导宜人性、团队信息深度加工与团队创造力之间传导作用机制研究模型。本研究通过对中国企业166个团队进行问卷调查,收集了132份有效团队样本数据,并采取调节路径分析方法进行了实证分析。研究发现,团队领导宜人性会通过团队信息深度加工影响团队创造力,过高或过低的宜人性都不利于团队创新。有"老好人"倾向的团队领导应展现中等水平的宜人性特征,防止陷入过低或过高宜人性的怪圈,并应重视推动团队信息的深度加工,这样才能最大限度地促进团队创造力的提升。本研究拓展了团队领导个性特征对团队创造力的影响机制研究,同时对于中国企业领导干部提高团队创造力也具有一定的指导意义。     

基于MGB理论的农户参与乡村旅游影响因素研究——以福州三个地区为例

基于目标导向行为理论,以249份调研数据为依据,运用二元Logistic回归模型对农户参与乡村旅游情感影响因素进行分析,得出农户的行为态度、主观规范、正面预期情绪和感知行为控制通过行为欲望对行为意向具有积极的正向影响,而负面情绪通过行为欲望对其参与乡村旅游行为意向具有消极影响。提出要强化情感效应,重视正向情绪引导;完善乡村旅游引导和利益共享机制,保障农户获得实质性经济收益;把握乡村原生态,消除农户抵触心理。     

湖北省碳排放与经济增长脱钩分析

以2000-2014年湖北省GDP、能源消费和碳排放为基础数据,从能源结构、能源消耗强度和碳排放强度方面分析在此期间湖北省能源利用现状以及变化趋势,并且利用Tapio脱钩模型,分析湖北省2001 -2014年间经济增长与碳排放之间脱钩关系,将能源消费作为中间变量说明脱钩状态变化的原因。结果表明湖北省在此期间经济增长与碳排放绝大多数处于弱脱钩状态,并有向强脱钩转变的趋势,并且分析原因主要是经其二者与能源消费结构的改善和能源能利用率的提高有密切关系。最后就区域层面、企业层面以及个人层面提出相关建议。

Marx,Sraffa, and Surplus: Observations Prompted by Garegnani (2018)

ABSTRACT

In a posthumously published article, Pierangelo Garegnani (2018. ‘On the Labour Theory of Value in Marx and in the Marxist Tradition.’) depicts Marx’s project in Capital as that of ‘developing systematically the theory of Ricardo and [the] implications of social conflict’ implied by Ricardo’s ‘surplus approach to value and distribution’. This paper argues to the contrary that Marx’s theory of surplus value and exploitation differs from (neo-)Ricardian surplus theory in fundamental ways, and modifies Garegnani’s simple Sraffian model to illustrate the distinctive implications of Marx’s theory.     

When profession trumps potential: The moderating role of professional identification in employees’ reactions to talent management

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the role that a professionalized context plays in shaping employee reactions to talent management decisions. We examined the mediating role of felt obligation in the relationship between talent ratings and organizational citizenship behavior. Further, the study tested whether professional identification moderates the relationship between talent ratings and felt obligation towards the organization. Five hundred and ninety-eight teachers that had recently received ratings of their talent status responded to a survey questionnaire. Felt obligation mediated the relationship between talent ratings and organizational citizenship behavior. Furthermore, professional identification moderated the relationship between ratings of potential and felt obligation in such a way that the relationship was strongest for the teachers expressing the lowest professional identification. At high levels of professional identification, the relationship was not significant. These results indicate that conventional talent management might be less effective for increasing favorable attitudes and behaviors among employees in highly professionalized contexts, such as the education sector.     

The accountable governance of provincial governments of a Pacific island country

ABSTRACT

Using the theory of indigenous alternatives and a benchmark of indigenous financial reporting expectations, this paper examines the challenges to accountable governance of the nine provincial governments of the Solomon Islands for the years 1998 to 2017. Every provincial government consistently received disclaimed or qualified opinions from the state auditor. The author explains why the regional development of all provinces of the Solomon Islands could be improved if rudimentary forms of financial reporting were to be addressed.     

The New Narrative: Applying narratology to the shaping of futures outputs

Both scenario development and design practices incorporate elements of storytelling, but this use remains undertheorised. This paper will draw upon literary theory, film theory and science fiction criticism to develop an analytical model of narrative structure and rhetorics which speaks to the concerns of scenario developers and designers when engaged in shaping the final outputs or deliverables of a futures project.After highlighting the differing role of telos in art and futures and defining the metacategory of “narratives of futurity”, this paper then defines the terms “story”, “narrative”, “narrator” and “world” in the literary context. It then shows how those concepts map onto futures practice, before going into detail regarding the variety of narrative strategies available across a range of different forms and media, and the qualitative effects that they can reproduce in audiences. There follows the construction of a 2 × 2 matrix based on the critical concepts of narrative mode and narrative logic, within which narratives of futurity might be usefully catalogued and compared, and from which certain broad conclusions may be reached as regards the relation between choice of medium and rhetorical effect. The implications of this analysis are explored in detail.
