There has been tremendous growth in the cellular telephone industry in recent years. This evolving technology has given rise to concerns over the social rules of etiquette governing cellphone usage behaviour. The present study was undertaken to better understand the perceptions of cellphone usage propriety among one of the most important target markets for cellphone products – young adults attending college. Data were collected from a total of 383 cellphone consumers residing in geographically diverse regions of the United States. Overall, the results indicated a high degree of agreement among respondents as to appropriate and inappropriate situations for cellphone usage. Respondents considered inappropriate situations for cellphone usage to include during worship/church, during class, in a library and in a movie theatre during a movie. Respondents considered it to be appropriate to use cellphones while on public transportation, in a supermarket, and to use a hands‐free set while driving. Specific differences were found as a function of geographic regions, gender and employment status. 相似文献

Risiken aus kommerzieller Nutzung des Internet — Möglichkeiten der Schadenverhütung und Versicherung
Due to the increasing importance of the Internet and its commercial use a new risk category has emerged, opening up interesting business opportunities for insurance companies. — Besides insurance, loss prevention measures must be considered key aspects in this context, particularly since without contract clauses regarding loss prevention and extensive assessment of an insured’s activities in this field, insurance may not be available in many cases. After a short classification and explanation of Internet risks, this paper firstly deals with loss prevention, concentrating on the technical measures such as cryptology or firewall concepts, which are specific for the risks in question. These measures allow for a significant increase in the security of data transfer and the security of individual networks’ connections to the Internet. A complete elimination of risk, however, is usually not an economically reasonable goal. The question, to what extent the remaining risk can be covered by insurance, is addressed in the following section of this paper, in which we analyze problems of insurability and how these problems could probably be solved through product design. 相似文献

This article discusses the implications of moral dissonance for managers, and how dissonance induced self justification can
create an amplifying feedback loop and downward spiral of immoral behaviour. After addressing the nature of moral dissonance,
including the difference between moral and hedonistic dissonance, the writer then focuses on dissonance reduction strategies
available to managers such as rationalization, self affirmation, self justification, etc. It is noted that there is a considerable
literature which views the organization as a potentially corrupting institution and a source of acute levels of moral dissonance.
A simplified process model linking immoral behaviour, dissonance and rationalization is mooted, and some recent theories which
question traditional dissonance models, including the free choice paradigm (FCP), are considered. The writer concludes that
in the light of the above mentioned critical theories, it may be assumed that the levels of moral dissonance, and the extent
of rationalization/self justification amongst managers, are more a function of personality and situational factors than previously
assumed. 相似文献

The ongoing demographic changes in the industrialised countries mean not only that the ratio of pensioners to the number of people working has increased and is projected to continue to do so, but also that the average age of the labour force is increasing. These developments confront collective bargaining policy with new challenges as the size and characteristics of the labour supply change, as do the interests of the median trade union member. The following article examines these challenges using the example of Germany. 相似文献

The German government plans to introduce a minimum wage from 2015. This must be understood as a response to the decline in collective bargaining coverage and the marked increase in employment in the low-wage sector. The authors discuss how many workers are affected by this new regulation and whether the minimum wage is too high in relation to the average wage of workers (Kaitz index). They assume that the introduction of a minimum wage in Germany can have a number of effects. It is not possible to forecast all the reactions and behaviour of market participants to handle higher wages and goods prices. Some authors warn that these measures are significant labour market interventions that could have adverse employment effects. They recommend allowing more exemptions from the minimum wage law than intended by the government, especially for young employees and student apprentices. Other authors hope that minimum wages would help to strengthen collective bargaining and stabilise wages. Some authors emphasise that there should be a careful evaluation of the economic effects by scientists. 相似文献

In some industries, wage negotiations are conducted not only by labour unions covering the whole sector but also by craft unions representing single occupations. A comprehensive evaluation of wage disputes in Germany shows that craft unions are especially confrontational. Particular problems arise if several conflict-prone unions representing employees of the same company enter into competition with each other. The cumulative effects of such a situation can undermine the legal ban on industrial action while a collective wage agreement is in force. This damage could be limited by legislation regulating competition among trade unions and restoring exclusivity for wage agreements at the plant level (one company = one agreement). 相似文献

B2B online reverse auctions technology (ORAs) emerged as a popular tool for large buying firms in the late 1990s. However,
its growing use has been accompanied by a corresponding increase in unethical behaviors to a point that it has been described
as the technology that has triggered more ethical concerns in the e-commerce arena than in any other segment of activity.
Our findings first indicate that the establishment of formal ethical criteria based on the restrictive interpretation of ethics
as honesty is not enough to resolve the ethical issues that surround the introduction of a technology because it ignores the
ethical values shared by most actors in the sector in terms of fairness. We show the extent to which lobbying, rumor, technical
problems, and public discourse can impact on the interpretations of the technology regarding ethics. Highlighting the importance
of incorporating ORAs into the broader context of relationship management that integrates ethics as fairness and not only
ethics as honesty serves to illustrate why the future of ORAs might not be as bright as predicted by a theoretical interpretation
of the technology that is sometimes disconnected from the realities of the field. 相似文献
