• [ 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

• [ 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

• [ Entrepreneurial Orientation and the Performance of Religious Congregations as Predicted by Rational Choice Theory. John A. 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
• [ The Business Case for Corporate Social Responsibility: A Review of Concepts, Research and Practice. Archie B. 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

This paper reviews the literature on corporate social performance (CSP) measurement and sets that literature into a theoretical context. Following a review of CSP theory development and the literature on relationships between CSP and corporate financial performance, Wood's CSP model (Wood, D.J. (1991). Corporate social performance revisited. Academy of Management Review, 16, pp. 691–718) is used as an organizing device to present and discuss studies that use particular measures of CSP. Conclusions emphasize the need for CSP scholars to refocus on stakeholders and society, and to incorporate relevant literatures from other scholarly domains. artigos orgtheory organization organizational_theory estudos_organizacionais respsocial_microcredito

• [ 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

• [ Pesquisar por: SEÇÃO » Vídeos: VEJA entrevista Fernando Barreto, fundador da Webcitizen e do site Vote na Web ] Com o intuito de usar a tecnologia para desenvolver ferramentas que promovecem o engajamento cívivo, Fernando Barreto fundou há um ano a Webcitizen. 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. Outros, entre eles o que pretende estampar a bandeira do Brasil nos uniformes escolares, são vistos como bizarros. gov2.0 government governo government2.0 cibercultura icolabora ecn_civil

• [ Civic Culture, Institutions and the Performance of Governments, por Peter Kotzian ] Civic culture is seen as important for the stability of democracy, but also for the political and economic performance of countries. 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
• [ The Challenge of Poverty and the Poverty of Islamic Economics, por Mohammad Farooq ] In the past half century Islamic economics was eclipsed by Islamic finance movement. 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

Richard Scott; Glenn Carroll; Jeffrey Pfeffer), an anthropologist, a political scientist, and two economists (Mary Douglas; Terry Moe; Oliver Hart; Oliver Williamson). An important contribution to organization theory, this volume reports on recent progress in this field, and projects a productive research future. livros_editoras estudos_organizacionais orgtheory organization organizational_theory
• [ 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
