• [ Gifts and Gifting - Davies - 2009 - International Journal of Management Reviews ] The terms gift and gifting are rarely formally defined, but are associated with something given without receiving payment, often in the expectation of reciprocation and of changing the relationship with the recipient. Extensive prior work across a number of disciplines tends to focus on gifting as a process and shows a broad conceptualization of the gift construct to include actions as diverse as charitable giving, tipping, self-gifting and volunteering, where relationship development and reciprocation are largely irrelevant. As a way to develop the area, two proposals are made: first, that gifting research should recognize two different types of gift, transactional and relational; and second, that the exchange paradigm and its underpinning social exchange theory should become central in developing understanding of relational gifting. The authors argue that empirical researchers may usefully revisit the relational paradigm, but by adopting a more quantitative, modelling approach. dadiva gift orgtheory organization organizational_theory estudos_organizacionais management
• [ Happiness at Work - International Journal of Management Reviews ] This paper reviews what is known about the definition, causes and consequences of happiness at work, drawing also on insights from the expanding positive psychology literature on happiness in general. Many discrete organizational behavior constructs arguably belong to a larger family of happiness-related constructs, and share some common causes and consequences. Happiness at work includes, but is far more than, job satisfaction. A comprehensive measure of individual-level happiness might include work engagement, job satisfaction, and affective organizational commitment. Aspects of happiness have been (and should be) conceptualized and measured at multiple levels, including transient experiences, stable person-level attitudes, and collective attitudes, and with respect to multiple foci, such as discrete events, the job, and the organization. At all levels, there is evidence that happiness has important consequences for both individuals and organizations. happiness felicidade administracao adm orgtheory organization organizational_theory estudos_organizacionais
• [ Guerreiro Ramos e a redenção sociológica: capitalismo e sociologia no Brasil ] Por Edison Bariani – A trajetória de Guerreiro Ramos é uma contribuição no sentido de trazer ao debate intelectual uma percepção de certos dilemas da sociologia no Brasil e propiciar subsídios na tentativa de compreender a situação brasileira; as formulações, temas, ênfases e equívocos do autor são, em certa medida, reflexos dos problemas que suscitaram tais esforços, bem como sua obra uma radical tentativa de criação de um pensamento nacional autêntico que, para ele, redimiria os pecados da miséria brasileira e de sua cortesã, a sociologia alienada da realidade nacional. Tal empenho imbrica-se em sua obra – e no contexto histórico-social – com os anseios de construção de um capitalismo nacional e autônomo de certa classe média, e teria na própria elaboração de uma sociologia nacional um dos seus principais instrumentos de remissão. guerreiro_ramos autores sociology brasil desenvolvimento_ecn academia publicacao publishing

The jury remains out about the bottom-line relevance of organisational spirituality. This article reviews the arguments made thus far, using those sources most commonly cited as providing ‹evidence’ that organisational spirituality adds value to the bottom line. Having collated the evidence, this article offers some observation about the robustness of this existing ‹business case’. It then offers some preliminary conclusions on the literature review, examining the merits of pursuing a ‹business case’ in this field and identifying some specific questions for future research. espiritualidade administracao orgtheory organization estudos_organizacionais

• [ Social Capital: A review from an ethics perspective ] In this paper we extend previous reviews of the social capital literature to encompass an ethics perspective. First, we update previous reviews of social capital. Social capital continues to gain currency in both academic and practical circles, despite relatively little critical reflection on the implications of promoting this popular concept. Our work goes some way to rectifying this paucity in understanding what has been termed the ‗dark side‘ of social capital. In particular, we review the social capital concept from the perspective of three theories of business ethics: utilitarianism, justice and ethic of care. While the utilitarian perspective closely parallels accounts of social capital‘s rationale, the concept‘s operation is mirrored very closely by the assumptions underpinning the ethic of care, while the dark side of social capital is commonly given voice in justice-based critiques. We conclude by considering the implications of our analysis. socialcapital social_capital capital_social artigos etica system:filetype:pdf system:media:document
• [ Civic Capital as the Missing Link ] This chapter reviews the recent debate about the role of social capital in economics. We argue that all the difficulties this concept has encountered in economics are due to a vague and excessively broad definition. For this reason, we restrict social capital to the set of values and beliefs that help cooperation—which for clarity we label civic capital. We argue that this definition differentiates social capital from human capital and satisfies the properties of the standard notion of capital. We then argue that civic capital can explain why differences in economic performance persist over centuries and discuss how the effect of civic capital can be distinguished empirically from other variables that affect economic performance and its persistence, including institutions and geography. socialcapital social_capital ecn_civil capital_social capital_civil economia economics artigos system:filetype:pdf system:media:document
• [ BBC - Thinking Allowed, Social Capital ] A new concept came along, ‘social capital’, and it revolutionised the way people are governed and communities are planned. The only trouble is …it’s completely wrong. That is the contention of sociologist Ben Fine. He claims that ‘social capital’ is part of a mindset that sees everything as quantifiable assets akin to money or commercial resources. Are communities, neighbourhoods and the people more complicated than that? Laurie Taylor discusses an idea which has had a huge impact on social science and beyond, and asks whether it is time to abandon the assumption that people have social qualities that can be weighed and measured. David Halpern from the Institute for Government defends the concept. socialcapital social_capital capital_social podcast

• [ Religiosity and Personal Well-Being: People Can Be Happy With or Without Religion ] Despite all economic and social transitions that have occurred in the last centuries we still find that people go to church. Somehow religious beliefs have not vanished over time. Since there is no material reward for going to church or praying religiosity has to create utility through other means. It could raise peoples’ personal well-being. In this paper we use information from the World Values Survey about subjective happiness and life satisfaction. We relate this information to revealed religiosity and measure if religiosity makes people happier. We use different methods and also control for economic factors, family matters, health, and democracy. The key finding is that there seems to be a U-shaped relationship between personal well-being and religiosity, especially so for happiness. This result is consistent throughout all our estimations. Our analysis also gives hints that higher income might lead to higher subjective well-being. happiness felicidade artigos pesquisa academia religiao religion
• [ Social Connections, Networks, and Social Capital Erosion: Evidence from Surveys and Field Experiments ] Measuring trust, a cognitive social capital that can significantly affect cooperation among individuals and groups to take collective actions for joint benefits, is an important empirical research. This study aimed to understand the determinants of social capital with specific focus on the effect of individuals’ bonding social capital and bridging social capital. It explored the methods of measuring trust and identified the determining factors affecting trust/trustworthiness among village members in southwestern China’s Yunnan province. socialcapital social_capital capital_social networks redessociais artigos pesquisa
• [ Multilevel Challenges and Opportunities in Social Capital Research -- Payne et al., 10.1177/0149206310372413 -- Journal of Management ] Social capital refers to the resources derived from social relationships. Although the concept of social capital has been applied at the individual, group, and organizational levels of analysis, researchers have yet to fully embrace social capital’s potential as a multilevel lens through which we might better understand management and organizational phenomena. With a central objective of advancing social capital’s potential as a multilevel theoretical perspective, the authors make two contributions to the management literature. First, the authors comprehensively review two decades of management research to highlight how social capital has been empirically applied across levels of analysis. Second, based on the shortcomings and challenges revealed through the literature review, the authors identify and discuss avenues for future multilevel research, including suggestions for both macro and micro researchers. socialcapital social_capital capital_social artigos pesquisa

Finalmente, se reflexiona sobre el carácter ego-centrado de las normas de ciudadanía promovidas por organizaciones religiosas y las formas excluyentes de ciertas formas de participación organizacional. socialcapital social_capital capital_social religiao orgtheory organization organizational_theory

Desde no hace mucho tiempo, el turismo se ha venido defendiendo como uno de los instrumentos apropiados para articular procesos de desarrollo local, en el que los actores y sus relaciones se convierten en elementos esenciales. Se hace necesario la configuración de modelos analíticos que realmente permitan poner de manifiesto que existe una asociación entre las redes de actores y el nivel de desarrollo, que es precisamente lo que aporta este trabajo. Es decir, la correlación que existe entre las características estructurales de las redes de actores y el nivel de desarrollo turístico de los territorios. social_capital socialnetworks redessociais desenvolvimento_ecn system:filetype:pdf system:media:document
• [ Cómo son las redes de los indivíduos en situación de pobreza en el Brasil urbano ] Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación reciente sobre las redes sociales de individuos pobres que viven en Sao Paulo, Brasil. La investigación ha levantado y analizado las redes de 209 individuos pobres que habitan siete espacios de la ciudad sometidos a distintos grados de segregación residencial, así como treinta individuos de la clase media. El presente trabajo presenta las principales características de las redes, así como explora el patrón de intensa variabilidad observada en las redes, incluso entre los individuos pobres. Los resultados indican la existencia de patrones claros de variación de las redes según su tamaño, estructura e inserción urbana, además de la sociabilidad que contienen, lo que permitió la construcción de una tipología de las redes y de las sociabilidades. redessociais socialnetworks social_networks pobreza

Apontam-se as 4 principais correntes de pensamento que buscam definir o conceito de capital social: o comunitarismo de Tocqueville e Putnam, o capital social como gerador de capital humano de Coleman, o capital social no mercado das trocas simbólicas de Bourdieu e, por último, o capital social como infra-estrutura social (instituições) de North. socialcapital social_capital capital_social admpublica administracao adm conceitos

• [ Revista Novos Estudos: Raízes sociais e ideológicas do Lulismo ] Autor: André Singer. O artigo sugere hipóteses para compreender o realinhamento eleitoral que teria ocorrido em 2006. O subproletariado, que sempre se manteve distante de Lula, aderiu em bloco à sua candidatura depois do primeiro mandato, ao mesmo tempo em que a classe média se afastou dela. A explicação estaria em uma nova configuração ideológica, que mistura elementos de esquerda e de direita. O discurso e a prática, que unem manutenção da estabilidade e ação distributiva do Estado, encontram‑se na raiz da formação do lulismo. politica politics governo

No site, qualquer cidadão pode opinar sobre os projetos de lei que tramitam nas duas casas do legislativo e acompanhar como votaram os parlamentares. Outra proposta é traduzir os projetos para uma linguagem compreensível, tornando-os mais transparentes. Em dois meses de existência, o Vote na Web computou mais de 8 mil votos. Entre os 110 projetos cadastrados, alguns são considerados utópicos pelos internautas, como por exemplo o que defende a implantação da Banda Larga em todo o território nacional.

Just as the economy requires certain individual level attitudes, labeled social capital, for its smooth operating, successful democratic governance requires a certain level of political capital, understood as properties and attitudes of citizens which are conducive for democratic proceedings. Despite strong theoretical arguments, there are few tests of these arguments. In particular, there is a lack of studies comparing the effect of civic culture with the effect of institutions. This paper undertakes an analysis of the relationship between political and social capital on the one side, and the performance of democratic governments on the other side. Using a sample of 48 countries, our finding indicates that there are positive effects of political capital on the level and the development of governmental performance. socialcapital social_capital capital_social governo governanca ecn_civil

Gradually Islamic economics has taken a back seat without any economy to back it up empirically. Although Islamic finance emerged as an offshoot of Islamic economics and with the blessing and advocacy from Islamic economists, prevailing patterns of Islamic finance are markedly delinked from any broader developmental goals. Can Islamic economics step up to the challenge of poverty, or is Islamic economics itself suffering from poverty of substance? Those are the questions dealt with in this exploratory paper. economia economia-religiao desenvolvimento_ecn

• [ Oxford University Press: Making the Social World: John Searle ] There are few more important philosophers at work today than John Searle, a creative and contentious thinker who has shaped the way we think about mind and language. Now he offers a profound understanding of how we create a social reality–a reality of money, property, governments, marriages, stock markets and cocktail parties.
  The paradox he addresses in Making the Social World is that these facts only exist because we think they exist and yet they have an objective existence. Continuing a line of investigation begun in his earlier book The Construction of Social Reality , Searle identifies the precise role of language in the creation of all "institutional facts." His aim is to show how mind, language and civilization are natural products of the basic facts of the physical world described by physics, chemistry and biology. livros_editoras filosofia razão instituicao
