The mission of the Independent Institute is to boldly advance peaceful, prosperous, and free societies grounded in a commitment to human worth and dignity.

Using data from the 2004 General Social Survey, we compare public servants in government and outside government to the general public through a series of logistic regression models. Although there is little difference in terms of denominational affiliation, public servants have a stronger commitment to, and are more active in, their religious communities. The implications of these findings for public administration are discussed. religiao religion publicadministration publicservices admpublica artigos pesquisa

• [ Immanent transcendence in Georg Simmel's sociology of religion -- Vandenberghe 10 (1): 5 -- Journal of Classical Sociology ] This article presents a systematic reconstruction of Georg Simmel’s sociology of religion. Following the development of his sociology of religion, it successively analyses religion as a form of interaction, as a symbolic form and as a personal form. The main argument is that all of Simmel’s writings are metaphysical and that religion is only one form among others that gathers the fragments of existence into a unified totality. Religiosity is the central category of Simmel’s writings on religion. It ‘detranscendentalizes’ religion and locates its conditions of possibility within the aspirations of wholeness of the soul. religiao religion simmel sociology artigos

In this article, co-citation analysis and social network analysis techniques are used to research intellectual structure of the business ethics literature. We are able to identify the important publications and the influential scholars as well as the correlations among these publications by analyzing citation and co-citation. Three factors emerged in this study are: (1) ethical/unethical decision making, (2) corporate governance and firm performance, and (3) ethical principles and code of conduct. etica business artigos

By analyzing the structural embeddedness of a prototypical blog in a virtual community, we show the potential of online platforms to document corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities and to engage with an increasingly socially and ecologically aware stakeholder base. The results of this study show that stakeholder involvement via sustainability blogs is a valuable new practice for CSR communications and stakeholder engagement. It also opens new horizons for communicating CSR issues to key constituencies online. respsocial_microcredito responsabilidade artigos blog

It draws on the history of religion and religious organizations as elaborated by several promoters of the so-called ‘new histor y’ in France.These historians (mainly medievalist) can be helpful in writing a different genealogy of contemporary models of collective action (i.e. ways of reaching a goal together) and their institutional context in western countries.They can also facilitate a critical understanding of long-range organizational dynamics. artigos orgtheory organization organizational_theory religiao religion acaocoletiva
• [ Lost in translation: Bringing Hirschman's concept of voice back into the spirit of capitalism -- Christiansen 5 (1): 19 -- Management & Organizational History ] The New Spirit of Capitalism relied heavily upon the theory of organizational decline and the concepts of exit and voice developed by Albert O. Hirschman in his seminal essay, Exit, Voice, and Loyalty from 1970. As a result, capitalism and its spirit were thought within an organizational paradigm. However, the integration of Hirschman’s theory was not unproblematic, since voice was excluded from the level of organizations, resulting in a failure to account for internal critique. By revisiting Hirschman’s theory, the context in which it developed, and by juxtaposing this with the theory of The New Spirit of Capitalism, it is argued that the spatial metaphors of ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ of capitalism should be revised, along with a revision of the analogy between capitalism and an organization. Ultimately, critique always comes from ‘within’. artigos orgtheory organization organizational_theory capitalismo

Esta dissertação discute capital social, que está diretamente relacionado com um velho problema da vida social: os dilemas da ação coletiva, isto é, como uma sociedade pode desenvolver-se por meio de confiança mútua entre seus membros e cooperação em torno de objetivos comuns, evitando os velhos problemas envolvendo bens públicos, quais sejam, os 'caronas' e as atitudes 'caçadoras de renda'. 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

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

Em 14 de novembro, saiu do papel o primeiro projeto da empresa: o Vote na Web. 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
