Complements or substitutes? A meta-analysis of the role of integration mechanisms for knowledge transfer in the MNE network

The MNE integration literature lacks coherence in the use and effectiveness of different integration mechanisms. In this study, we use meta-analytic techniques to quantitatively synthesize and evaluate the impact of centralization, formalization and socialization on knowledge transfer. Our analysis of 89 independent samples, including 15,506 subsidiaries, shows that socialization facilitates knowledge transfer more strongly than centralization and formalization. Socialization substitutes for formalization’s positive impact, and mitigates centralization’s negative impact on knowledge transfer. We further identify that directionality of knowledge flows is key in explaining the impact of centralization mechanisms. Finally, we point out important systemic problems in current empirical research.     

非正式社会化对知识共享影响机制研究

知识是一种独特的有价值的关键资源,对知识的管理和有效利用对于增强组织核心竞争力有着至关重要的作用。但组织内知识流动并非易事,知识共享通常不是自然发生的。组织中员工知识共享水平的提高,需要员工之间进行沟通与交流,社会化为员工沟通交流提供了机会。非正式社会化作为发生在个人层面的社会化类型,对组织中人与人之间的知识共享行为具有非常重要的作用。对来自长江三角洲的13家企业问卷调查数据进行分析,搭建非正式社会化、社会交互作用、权力距离、知识共享4个变量之间的交互作用模型,采用探索性因子分析、验证性因子分析和结构方程分析方法,就非正式社会化对知识共享的影响机制进行了讨论。

Corruption as an organizational process: Understanding the logic of the denormalization of corruption

This article discusses the basic assumptions of an individualist vision on corruption. A different argument based on “social density” of the phenomenon is proposed instead: the process of normalization of corruption. Under this umbrella, corruption is a political concept that looks to impose a particular vision on what are “right” behaviors based on a sharp and unrealistic separation of the public and private sphere. A review of the organizational literature on corruption is developed, with the aim of understanding how organizational processes of socialization triggers behaviors that make corrupt acts to appear as “normal” under the organizational logic. Persons find themselves in a “slippery slope”, generating agreements and social dynamics that are able to produce corrupt logics under the normal life of an organization. A plea for discussing the social processes needed to “un-normalize” corruption is defended a conceptualization that goes beyond an individualist and moralist vision of the phenomenon.     

Teachers and politics

I find that self-selection into teacher training programs in Germany is co-determined with ideology. Incoming teacher-trainees are more left-wing in ideology and political preferences than the average incoming university student. I find also that teacher training programs exert a socialization effect: as compared to the average student, teacher trainees’ views are reinforced and they become more left-wing as they progress in their studies. In a third step, I use the German Socio-Economic Panel to compare tenured teachers’ political attitudes with other university graduates and other civil servants, and find that tenured teachers are more left-wing than the average in the respective reference groups. I consider possible explanations for the left-wing orientation of teachers in the German educational system and implications of indoctrination and imbalance of views.

农业社会化服务有助于提升农业绿色生产率吗？

从服务分工视角破解资源环境约束与农户行为的市场约束,探究农业社会化服务对农业绿色生产率的影响机制,旨在寻求实现农业可持续发展的可行路径。文章利用江西省9个县（市、区）34个村645个水稻种植农户抽样调查数据,构建非期望产出的SBM模型测算农业绿色生产率,同时采用Tobit模型检验农业社会化服务对农业绿色生产率的影响,并分析农户土地禀赋下的经营规模、土地细碎化、地块规模与农业社会化服务的交互作用。结果表明,样本农户的农业绿色生产率均值为0.48,仍处于较低水平;农业社会化服务对农业生产率具有显著的促进作用;伴随社会化服务参与程度的加深,即采纳社会化服务的农业生产环节越多,农户的农业绿色生产率水平越高;农户土地经营规模和地块规模的扩大,能够增强农业社会化服务对农业生产率的促进作用,而土地细碎化程度则会抑制这种促进效应。异质性分析发现,施肥服务和病虫害防治服务是促进农业绿色生产率提升的关键环节;进一步的机制分析发现,农业社会化服务通过诱导农户采纳农业绿色生产技术从而促进农业绿色生产率提升。据此,基于发展农业绿色生产,应促进农业社会化服务组织的发展与完善、引导农户开展适度土地规模经营,注重农户...

法治文化视野中的人的社会化

人的社会化是个体和社会的互动过程。把法治文化溶入到人的社会化中为社会培养合格的具有法治意识的公民,不仅是可能性的,也是可行的。通过对社会化不同的载体如家庭、学校等和在早期社会化中不同的阶段对个体进行法治文化的社会化,是能够象一般意义上的社会化那样取得一定的成就。
