  • [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
  • [Trust in Others: Does Religion Matter? - Review of Social Economy] Though the recent literature offers intuitively appealing bases for, and evidence of, a linkage among religious beliefs, religious participation and economic outcomes, evidence on a relationship between religion and trust is mixed. 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

  • [David Stark - The Sense of Dissonance] David Stark is Arthur Lehman Professor of Sociology and International Affairs at Columbia University where he is Chair of the Department of Sociology and also directs the Center on Organizational Innovation. His most recent book, The Sense of Dissonance: Accounts of Worth in Economic Life, was published by Princeton University Press in 2009. Stark studies how organizations and their members search for what is valuable. Dissonance – disagreement about the principles of worth – can lead to discovery. To study the organizational basis for innovation, he has carried out ethnographic field research in Hungarian factories before and after 1989, in new media start-ups in Manhattan before and after the dot.com crash, and in a World Financial Center trading room before and after the attack on September 11th. networks socecn sociology social_networks autores
  • [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
  • [Spirituality and Performance in Organizations: A Literature Review] The purpose of this article is to review spirituality at work literature and to explore how spirituality improves employees’ performances and organizational effectiveness. The article reviews about 140 articles on workplace spirituality to review their findings on how spirituality supports organizational performance. Three different perspectives are introduced on how spirituality benefits employees and supports organizational performance based on the extant literature: (a) Spirituality enhances employee well-being and quality of life; (b) Spirituality provides employees a sense of purpose and meaning at work; (c) Spirituality provides employees a sense of interconnectedness and community. The article introduces potential benefits and caveats of bringing spirituality into the workplace; providing recommendations and suggestions for practitioners to incorporate spirituality positively in organizations. academia artigos espiritualidade estudos_organizacionais orgtheory organization organizational_theory

  • [The Meaning(s) of Happiness] The research finds that the meaning of happiness shifts as people age: Whereas younger people are more likely to associate happiness with excitement, older people are more likely to associate happiness with feeling peaceful—a change driven by increasing feelings of connectedness (to others and to the present moment) as one ages. happiness felicidade academia artigos pesquisa system:filetype:pdf system:media:document
  • [Social Capital, Health and Community Action: Implication for Health Promotion. By Malin Eriksson] The increase in studies on social capital and health since 1995 indicates interest in the social determinants of health and a call for the use of theory in public health and epidemiology. This paper by Malin Eriksson aims to explore the relationship between social capital and health and to contribute to the theoretical framework of the role of social capital for health and health promotion. socialcapital capital_social social_capital saúde

  • [Reflections: The Past and Future of Research on Institutions and Institutional Change - Journal of Change Management] De Richard Scott . – The study of institutions has a long history, but recent efforts stress the significance of symbolic elements in shaping social life. Although institutional processes and structures operate from the most micro interpersonal level to the most macro transocietal level, most research during the past few decades has concentrated on higher levels, such as the organization field. Institutional scholarship has been strongly influenced by structuration theory and, as a consequence, has given increasing attention to processes of institutional reinforcement and change. Directions of development showing promise include attention to intermediaries in fields, social movement processes, instituted modes of change, and transnational institution-building. instituicao orgtheory organizational_theory estudos_organizacionais artigos

  • [Social Capital, Diversity, and the Welfare State - University of British Columbia Press] Social capital is arguably the most critical idea to emerge in the social sciences in the last two decades. Emphasizing the importance of social networks, communication, and the symbolic and material exchanges that strengthen communities, social capital has been the subject of an expansive body of literature. Social Capital, Diversity, and the Welfare State represents a landmark consideration of the diverse meanings, causal foundations, and positive and negative consequences of social capital, with a particular focus on its role in mitigating or enhancing social inequalities.

    The chapters, written by economists, political scientists, and sociologists, address a range of empirical and theoretical issues. This book is cutting-edge addition to the field that offers fresh insights into the conceptualization, operation, sources, and consequences of social capital in Canadian society. livros_editoras capital_social sociology social_capital socialcapital diversidade pesquisa

  • [The Hidden Adam Smith in His Alleged Theology by Gavin Kennedy] Adam Smith’s views on religion in Moral Sentiments are generally regarded as consistent with, variously, Christianity, Protestantism, Deism, Providentialism or some version of Natural Religion. This paper examines the evidence from his earliest essay, known as The History of Astronomy (posthumous, 1795) and his major work, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, through editions 1 to 6, 1759-1790, and locates his hidden views within his known biographical details, the censorious religious environment of 18th-century Scotland, his and relationships with colleagues within the Scottish Enlightenment . From the evidence of his biography and his writings, Smith’s alleged theological beliefs are shown to be unsound, undermining such modern assertions. economia economics economia-religiao adamsmith religiao religion

  • [Microfinance and happiness] Microfinance institutions are used to claim that their impact goes beyond money since rescuing from exclusion uncollateralized poor borrowers significantly affects their dignity, self-esteem, social recognition and, through it, life satisfaction. Our paper aims to verify indirectly this claim by evaluating whether access to microfinance loans has significant impact on life satisfaction beyond its indirect impact via income changes. Our empirical findings on a sample of poor borrowers in the suburbs of Buenos Aires show that, after controlling for survivorship bias, the number of credit cycles has a significant and positive effect on life satisfaction. microcredito happiness felicidade system:filetype:pdf system:media:document

  • [Sociologia per la persona] Il gruppo SPe – Sociologia per la persona – nasce nell’ottobre 1995 e raccoglie gli studiosi che, a partire dall’impegno pionieristico di Achille Ardigò, hanno in comune uno specifico modo di intendere l’analisi sociologica.

    SPe si fonda su una lunga e matura esperienza d’incontro, di cooperazione e di impegno nella vita associativa di numerosi sociologi italiani che, pur muovendo da esperienze diverse, condividono precisi valori, quali il primato della persona e della sua libertà nella vita sociale.

    Il Gruppo si ispira al rigore scientifico quale ideale regolativo e si propone di orientare la ricerca e la riflessione teorica su tematiche centrali per lo sviluppo sociale e per la crescita di una convivenza civile, libera, democratica, solidale, rispettosa delle diverse culture e capace di valorizzare i differenti ambiti associativi e comunitari. sociology italia comunidade community dadiva

  • [Ethics of Celebrities and Their Increasing Influence in 21st Century Society] The influence of celebrities in the 21st century extends far beyond the traditional domain of the entertainment sector of society. During the recent Palestinian presidential elections, the Hollywood actor Richard Gere broadcast a televised message to voters in the region and stated, “Hi, I’m Richard Gere, and I’m speaking for the entire world”. Celebrities in the 21st century have expanded from simple product endorsements to global political and international diplomacy. The celebrities industry is undergoing, “mission creep”, or the expansion of an enterprise beyond its original goals (Hyde, 2009). The global internet is one of the major drivers of this phenomenon. The contribution of this paper is to analyse this global phenomenon and the potential implications for business ethics research. artigos etica business orgtheory organization organizational_theory

  • [The Impact of Social Structure on Economic Outcomes - Mark Granovetter | Twine] Social structure, especially in the form of social networks, affects economic outcomes for three main reasons. First, social networks affect the flow and the quality of information. Second, social networks are an important source of reward and punishment. Third, trust emerges, if it does, in the context of a social network. socecn sociology
