• [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

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

• [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

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

  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

• [Investigating Stakeholder Theory and Social Capital: CSR in Large Firms and SMEs] The concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been widely investigated, but a generally accepted theoretical framework does not yet exist. This paper argues that the idiosyncrasies of large firms and SMEs explains the different approaches to CSR, and that the notion of social capital is a more useful way of understanding the CSR approach of SMEs, whereas stakeholder theory more closely addresses the CSR approach of large firms. A twofold consideration emerges. First, the CSR–SME relationship could be better explained if the notion of social capital is taken into account, but this should also be accompanied by a stakeholder view of the SME; second, social capital and stakeholder theory should be taken as alternative ways of explaining CSR in both large firms and SMEs. artigos social_capital capital_social socialcapital stakeholder orgtheory organization organizational_theory

Pearce II. 2009; Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice - Wiley InterScience] Empirical and anecdotal evidence suggests that businesses that act with an entrepreneurial orientation enjoy superior performance. Our research investigates whether nonprofit, religious congregations can benefit from similar initiatives. We based our hypotheses on the Rational Choice Theory of Religion, which was developed by social scientists to bring economic analysis to the understanding of the effects of competition among nonprofit organizations. Using a sample of 250 religious congregations in five different geographical markets, an entrepreneurial orientation is found to be positively associated with organizational performance. A hypothesized interaction effect between environmental munificence and entrepreneurial orientation is assessed. religiao religion economia-religiao entrepreneurship igreja-empresa

Carroll. 2010; International Journal of Management Reviews - Wiley InterScience] Artigo de Archie B. Carroll. In this review, the primary subject is the 'business case' for corporate social responsibility (CSR). The business case refers to the underlying arguments or rationales supporting or documenting why the business community should accept and advance the CSR 'cause'. The business case is concerned with the primary question: What do the business community and organizations get out of CSR? That is, how do they benefit tangibly from engaging in CSR policies, activities and practices? The business case refers to the bottom-line financial and other reasons for businesses pursuing CSR strategies and policies. In developing this business case, the paper first provides some historical background and perspective. The goal is to describe and summarize what the business case means and to review some of the concepts, research and practice that have come to characterize this developing idea. artigos orgtheory organization organizational_theory estudos_organizacionais respsocial_microcredito

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?

• [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
