Os rumos dos movimentos sociais e das mobilizações sociais e culturais na contemporaneidade assinalam o enfraquecimento dos antigos marcos teóricos positivistas que subordinavam a constituição das práticas identitárias a certos critérios reducionistas, como o do utilitarismo econômico e o da ideologia do progresso. No entanto, as mudanças recentes produzidas pelos processos de desterritorialização e reterritorialização nas sociedades complexas impõem novos tipos de atores, conflitos e mediações, sendo as redes uma forma social exemplar dessas<br />

• [ The Sociology of the Local: Action and its Publics* - Fine - 2010 - Sociological Theory - Wiley Online Library ] By Gary Alan Fine. Sociology requires a robust theory of how local circumstances create social order. When we analyze social structures not recognizing that they depend on groups with collective pasts and futures that are spatially situated and that are based on personal relations, we avoid a core sociological dimension: the importance of local context in constituting social worlds. Too often this has been the sociological stance, both in micro-sociological studies that examine interaction as untethered from local traditions and in research that treats culture as autonomous from action and choice. Building on theories of action, group dynamics, and micro-cultures, I argue that a sociology of the local solves critical theoretical problems. I examine how the continuing and referential features of group life generate action and argue that local practices provide the basis for cultural extension, influencing societal expectations through the linkages among groups. sociology academia artigos comunidade
• [ Virtual Government–Citizen Relations — Administration & Society ] Public administration theory and practice suggest that e-government, citizen participation, and government–citizen collaboration are contributing to a movement toward New Public Service—as opposed to Old Public Administration and New Public Management. We explore this by focusing on the relationship between the Washington, D.C., police and local residents via online discussion groups. We ask, How do police interact with citizens virtually? How are these interactions structured? and Are they informational, transactional, or collaborative? We conclude that the bulk of activity is informational, a fair amount of activity is transactional, and less activity is collaborative. Thus, the relationship most closely approximates Old Public Administration, rather than New Public Management or New Public Service. The evidence offers some cause for hope for the future of police–community relations in virtual space and ideas for future research. admpublica publicadministration gov2.0 government2.0 coproducao colaboracao collaboration p2g
• [ The Origins and Restriction of Efficiency in Public Administration — Administration & Society ] This article is primarily a study in the history of the concept of efficiency. It is argued that efficiency originated in Aristotelian ideas about causality and acquired a broad, substantive meaning of “moving force.” This meaning of the term was dominant well into 20th-century studies of public administration. In the course of the 20th century, however, efficiency became predominantly understood as “technical efficiency”: a ratio between resources and results. This connotation is especially clear in the explicit “textbook” definitions of efficiency. Nevertheless, we claim that the substantive meaning of efficiency is still around, and even at the heart of much criticism of efficiency. Technical efficiency obscures that efficiency in public administration is to be assessed in the light of public values. Efficiency as signifying the necessity of having capable operative administrative agents constitutes one of the, if not the, core value of the field. admpublica publicadministration artigos estudos_organizacionais orgtheory organizational_theory

Primeiramente, pesquisou-se, junto a empresários representativos, uma visão comum para caracterizar o objeto. Em seguida, realizou-se um estudo de caso em uma das principais empresas que se enquadram no conceito de Economia de Comunhão. O método de análise de conteúdo foi utilizado para a extração de ilações sobre o comportamento do fenômeno Poder nessas organizações. Os quadros analíticos produzidos sobre as entrevistas fornecem indícios que demonstram idiossincrasias nas formas de exercício do poder dessa nova proposta de gestão vis-à-vis as disseminadas amplamente no sistema produtivo. Tais evidências indicaram a influência decisiva dos pressupostos sustentadores do Projeto sobre as relações de poder, tornando possível uma prática organizacional próxima ao que se denomina paradigma radical humanista na teoria organizacional edc economia-religiao ecn_civil artigos

• [ 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

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

• [ 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

• [ 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

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.

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

• [ The Relational Economy: A Buddhist and Feminist Analysis by Julie Nelson ] Writings on the topic of Buddhism and economics seem to be characterized by two very different attitudes towards economic life. The first, drawing from historical Buddhist teachings in primarily pre-industrial contexts, takes a largely positive view of commerce. The second, in which a modern influence is considerably more apparent, is suspicious of economics at a "systemic" level, and takes an antagonistic stance towards contemporary corporations and markets. This essay argues that the latter view is based on an unhelpful assimilation of a modern Western belief – the belief that economic systems are non-relational – and proposes a richer understanding. economia economics economia-religiao reciprocidade religion religiao artigos

By allowing for an attendance effect, disaggregating Protestant denominations, and using a more extensive data set, probit models of the General Social Survey (GSS), 1975 through 2000, show that black Protestants, Pentecostals, fundamentalist Protestants, and Catholics, trust others less than individuals who do not claim a preference for a particular denomination. For conservative denominations the effect of religion is through affiliation, not attendance. In contrast, liberal Protestants trust others more and this effect is reinforced by attendance. The impact of religion on moderate Protestants is only through attendance, as frequency of attendance increases trust of others while the denomination effect is insignificant. artigos religiao religion trust sociology sociedade economia economia-religiao

• [ Social capital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ] The term "capital" is used by analogy with other forms of economic capital, as social capital is argued to have similar (although less measurable) benefits. However, the analogy with capital is misleading to the extent that, unlike traditional forms of capital, social capital is not depleted by use, but in fact depleted by non-use ("use it or lose it"). In this respect, it is similar to the now well-established economic concept of human capital. social_capital socialnetworks community socialcapital capital_social
• [ What Does 'Social Capital' Mean? ] The paper begins with an investigation of two metaphors central to the 'social capital' framework – 'glue' and 'capital'. Both are found to be inappropriate descriptions of the kinds of human relationships supposedly being alluded to by the term 'social capital'. While the inappropriateness of the term 'glue' is not a major threat to the discourse, the case of 'capital' is more serious. The rest of the paper is devoted to unravelling the connotations of 'capital' and the implications of applying it to relationships where the kinds of calculations necessary for sound economic performance have no place. The paper concludes by asking, but not answering, the question: Why, if 'social capital' cannot diminish poverty, is it being posited as a substitute for the welfare state, the only institution that does address poverty (if minimally)? socialcapital social_capital capital_social artigos

• [ The relationship between bonding and bridging social capital among Christian denominations across Australia. Rosemary Leonard. 2010; Nonprofit Management and Leadership - Wiley InterScience ] This article is an intricate empirical examination of the relationship between bridging and bonding with respect to subcultural differences in religious denomination and faith orientation. The respondents were 2,710 Christian church attendees from nineteen denominations across Australia. They were surveyed with a closed-answer questionnaire covering the topics of faith, demographics, involvement in the congregation, and involvement in the wider community. The results revealed a positive relationship between bonding and bridging social capital, with a high level of bonding associated with a high level of bridging for all denominations and faith identities. There was no evidence that high bonding within the congregation restricted bridging beyond the congregation. The results support the notion that the relationship between bonding and bridging may vary with societal subcultures. artigos religiao religion socialcapital capital_social

• [ Social Capital and Economic Performance: A Meta-analysis of 65 Studies - European Planning Studies ] This paper summarizes 15 years of empirical research at various spatial levels on social capital and economic performance. On the firm level, results are unambiguous: there is strong evidence of the impact of social capital on firms' performance. However, the results become less clear for spatial units with a large number of anonymous actors. The contradictory results of studies on national and regional levels can be explained in part by insufficient measures of the main component parts of social capital: social networks and the norms and values distributed among them. To develop measures for values like creativity, entrepreneurship and tolerance, and to find better measures for social networks, are the main challenges to future research. socialcapital social_capital capital_social academia publicacao economia economics

• [ Critical social science, pragmatism and the realities of HRM - The International Journal of Human Resource Management ] The notion of the sociological imagination provides inspiration and valuable guidelines for a type of realist research which, in addition to informing people directly implicated in human resourcing activities, has the potential to inform democratic processes as opposed to furthering the particular interests of one segment of society. To do this, it is helpful to adopt a realist and a philosophically pragmatist style of thinking. In line with pragmatist principles, it is argued that we are better placed to get to grips with the realities of human resourcing principles and practices if we conceptualise 'HRM' in terms of labour or employment management generally rather than treat it as just one variant of employment management. It is also important to appreciate the vital connection between HRM and bureaucracy. Pragmatism also provides a methodological base for theory development and research on HRM processes, working in the sociological-imagination tradition. academia artigos administracao estudos_organizacionais orgtheory methodology metodologia pragmatismo

• [ Are Happier People Better Citizens? by Cahit Guven ] This paper presents evidence on causal influence of happiness on social capital and trust using German Socio-Economic Panel. Exploiting the unexplained cross-sectional variation in individual happiness (residuals) in 1984 to eliminate the endogeneity problem, the paper finds that happier people trust others more, and importantly, help create more social capital. Specifically, they have a higher desire to vote, perform more volunteer work, and more frequently participate in public activities. They also have a higher respect for law and order, hold more association memberships, are more attached to their neighborhood, and extend more help to others. Residual happiness appears to be an indicator of optimism, and has an inverse U-shaped relationship with social capital measures. The findings also suggest that the relationship between happiness and social capital strengthened in the world in the last decade. happiness felicidade socialcapital social_capital capital_social ecn_civil politica admpublica
