改体亦须塑魂--对国有商业银行企业文化的重新定位

企业文化是企业的灵魂,商业银行的行魂。因此,国有商业银行在实现经济增长方式转变过程中,必须坚持体制改革与企业文化塑造同步进行。在“改体”与“塑魂”的实践中,用理性的思维和科学的态度,紧紧抓住形成共同价值观或企业精神这个核心定位,把握对内增强凝聚力、提高经营业绩,对外适应市场竞争环境这两项主要功能,选择自上而下的运作模式,融入金融服务行业文化,发挥领导示范和人力资源管理的作用,塑造出有鲜明个性的、与国有商业银行未来发展相适应的金融企业文化。     

我国商业银行人力资源需求选择的微观行为决策

组织是不同的个体基于共同的利益而结成的团体.组织行为表现为个人行为的综合;领导者的理念对组织行为影响尤其巨大;组织应该以其利益最大化为追求目标.商业银行作为经济组织,其行为决策必须符合"集体行动的逻辑".反映在我国商业银行的人力资源需求选择上,主要表现为:外在的表象性因素是强约束条件;现实的和潜在的能力是重要的考虑因素;人情与地缘影响仍然存在;对员工个人品行和素质有特殊的要求.由此,优化我国商业银行人力资源选择的行为决策,必须坚持"适用和恰当"原则,规范程序,淡化个人意志,进一步强化成本-收益比较,以适应新形势的要求.     

西部地区矿产资源及其可持续发展探讨

西部地域辽阔,矿产资源丰富,必将成为我国21世纪矿产资源的接替地。因此,开发西部的矿产资源将成为西部大开发的一项重要任务。但是,目前西部矿产资源开发中存在着勘探程度低、开发粗放及生态环境破坏严重等问题。针对这些问题,今后在西部矿产资源开发中,必须加大勘探工作的投入力度;建设大型的现代矿山企业;加强环境保护意识和执法力度,重视矿产资源的可持续发展。     

利用虚拟手段增强企业整合资源的能力

Rural light pollution from shale gas development and associated sleep and subjective well-being

The shale oil and gas boom has had large economic, environmental, and social impacts on rural communities in the United States. This study provides novel estimates of the impacts of shale oil and gas development on light pollution in rural areas of the United States. Using nationwide, time-calibrated DMSP-OLS database from 2000 to 2012, we find robust evidence that the shale oil and gas boom significantly increased light pollution in rural areas. We then assess associations between horizontal drilling and subjective self-rated health using nationwide data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) from 2000 to 2012. Our findings suggest that insufficient sleep and poor health (physical or mental) are associated with increased drilling in rural areas. These results provide support for drilling-related light pollution as an additional environmental pathway of concern for public health beyond the mechanisms of air or water pollution.     

Envisioning a community‐centric approach to impact assessments in subsistence marketplaces

What does a community‐centric approach to impact assessment look like? That is the central question addressed in this article. Our community‐centric perspective provides an alternative to discipline‐centric approaches to impact assessment that emphasize specific methodological gold‐standards (e.g., randomized controlled trials [RCTs] in development economics). Disciplinary approaches to impact assessment owe their principal allegiance to the discipline's knowledge‐creation norms. Consequently, the concerns, interests, and voices of community members are not fully captured in the impact assessment process. In this article, we flip the conventional perspective to offer a community‐centric view of impact assessment that places the concerns, interests and voices of community members front and center. We present the case for why we need a community‐centric approach to impact assessment and clarify its axiological content, theoretical perspective, and methodological stance. Specifically, we advocate for a relational axiology, a system‐theoretic perspective, and a phenomenological methodology.     

Healthcare resource utilization by patients with treatment-refractory myasthenia gravis in England

Aims: To examine healthcare resource utilization associated with refractory myasthenia gravis (MG) in England.

Materials and methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of linked data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink and the Hospital Episode Statistics database collected between 1997 and 2016. Included patients were ≥18?years of age at the index MG diagnosis. Patients with refractory MG were identified using an algorithm based on treatments received. Healthcare resource utilization since the index date was compared between refractory and non-refractory cohorts.

Results: The study included 1149 patients with MG, of whom 66 (5.7%) were refractory. Sex and age at diagnosis did not significantly differ between the refractory and non-refractory cohorts. Rates of healthcare resource utilization per person-year were significantly higher (p?p?Limitations: The algorithm for identifying refractory patients did not include clinical criteria. Also, treatments administered in hospitals or by specialists were not available in the databases.

Conclusions: Patients in England with refractory MG more often visit healthcare providers, are hospitalized and visit an emergency room than patients with non-refractory MG.     

Workplace deviance and human resource management relations: A case study of Turkish hotel employees

The main purpose of this study is to examine the negative associations between employees' perception of the effectiveness of performance appraisal practices and deviant workplace behavior. This study also tests the mediating effect of the forms of organizational justice in the relationship between performance appraisal practices and deviant workplace behavior. Moreover, it also investigates how line managers' performance appraisal politics may influence the relationship between perceptions of performance appraisal practices and employee deviant workplace behavior. In order to facilitate this study, the research team employed a survey design. A total of 193 service employees from different service establishments attended the forum where the study was conducted in the capital city of Turkey, Ankara. The results of this study strongly support the premise that effective performance appraisal practices influence employee deviance behavior, and especially that interactional justice is an important predictor of employee violative behavior. Moreover, the findings indicate that there is no evidence regarding the moderating effect of employees' perception of managers' appraisal politics in the negative relationship between performance appraisal effectiveness and employee deviance.     

Climate Change and Preparations for the Tide of Traumatic Stress: Implications for Asia-Pacific Human Resources

Although attention to the business risks posed by natural disasters fueled by climate change has grown, the toll that disasters have on human resources in the form of traumatic stress is comparatively neglected. It is common for more than 20% of people exposed to natural disasters to develop traumatic stress disorders that can last for years. In the workplace, traumatic stress hurts attendance, the quantity and quality of output, and relationships. Fortunately, businesses can promote employee resilience and recovery. Given the Asia-Pacific region’s high risk of natural disasters, businesses operating there should include employees’ traumatic stress in their disaster preparedness.
