Il saggio ricostruisce il tema della felicità pubblica nella letteratura politica siciliana, mettendo in risalto l'originalità con cui soprattutto nelle opere poco note o cadute in oblio è trattato e proposto rispetto alle principali concezioni europee che si diffondono e circolano tra i secoli XVII-XIX.
The human side of leadership: Inspirational leadership effects on follower characteristics and happiness at work (HAW)
2020
Abstract Leadership has received significant attention over the past years. Now is the time to refine how leaders impact on followers and their attitudes. This study examines how inspirational leaders influence follower characteristics (FC), and in turn, their happiness at work. In this study, the mediating effect of follower characteristics in the relationship between inspirational leadership and happiness at work was specifically examined. Data was gathered from 389 frontline banking employees working in Italian and Spanish banks. A confirmatory factor analysis revealed a positive partial mediating role of follower characteristics in the relationship between inspirational leadership and h…
Współczesne związki intymne w sieci przeszkód i sprzeczności
2020
W artykule przyglądam się przeszkodom i sprzecznościom, które wynikają ze zmienności naszej rzeczywistości i z jednej strony są charakterystyczne dla czasów, w których żyjemy – dlatego są nieredukowalne – a z drugiej utrudniają lub nawet uniemożliwiają ludziom tworzenie satysfakcjonujących związków intymnych. Traktowane jako opresyjne i niesprawiedliwe nierówności w związku, konieczność kompromisu przy dominacji różnych odmian indywidualizmu i koncentracji na „ja” czy negocjacyjny charakter relacji komplikują budowanie szczęśliwych związków oraz tak ważną w nich intymności.
Conceptions of happiness and its relationship with subjective well-being: A study through Natural Semantic Networks
2018
La búsqueda de la felicidad es uno de los fines más ansiados por los seres humanos. Así mismo, cada vez son más los estudios dentro de la psicología que buscan hallar cuáles son los factores involucrados en la felicidad. Existen dos grandes enfoques para su estudio, el paradigma hedonista y el paradigma eudaimónico. El paradigma hedónico propone que el bienestar depende principalmente de vivir una vida con experiencias placenteras; mientras que el paradigma eudaimónico refiere que el bienestar no solo se logra mediante el placer, sino principalmente a través de la actualización del potencial humano. En el presente estudio se trabajó con una muestra compuesta por 340 ciudadanos de Córdoba (A…
L’ACCESSO A UNA FELICITÀ DEL POSSIBILE
2021
Una lunga riflessione sul significato di accessibilità introduce il saggio, partendo dall’etimologia del termine, assecondandone l’evoluzione e il conseguente riconoscimento istituzionale, seguendone poi gli sviluppi che danno vita a due indirizzi distinti, contestualizzabili rispettivamente nell’ambito materiale della sfera fisica e nell’ambito immateriale della sfera culturale. Quest’ultimo è l’ambito che viene approfondito e riletto attraverso la disciplina del design della comunicazione visiva. Se al concetto di accessibilità fisica si associa quello di soglia che implica il superamento di ogni tipo di barriera, limite, ostacolo, consentendo l’annullamento di soluzioni di continuità tra…
Rights, the Distribution of Wealth, and Happiness: Gaetano Filangieri’s Constitutional Ideal of Justice
2018
This article presents the ideal of distributive justice of Gaetano Filangieri whose realization is entrusted to the constitutional project elaborated in his work La Scienza della Legislazione. The article shows the main features which, in the outline of the Enlightenment, distinguish the core of the Filangerian proposal: the happiness of the nation needs an equitable distribution of wealth; the definition of the perfect model of justice is founded on an original utilitarian analysis which employs elements which anticipate the marginalism of the next century; to increase both the level of national welfare and the civic participation the laws have to improve the position of the least advantag…
More Choice for Better Choosers: Political Freedom, Autonomy, and Happiness
2016
A substantial literature finds that freedom in the sense of an expanded opportunity set is positively related to happiness. A contrasting literature, however, finds that an excess of choice can have socially undesirable outcomes. We test the effect of two types of freedom—autonomy and political—on happiness using five waves of World Values Survey data (1981–2008). We find evidence supporting the claim that equipping people with the tools to direct the course of their lives (i.e. increasing autonomy freedom) incentivizes the desire to investigate alternatives (e.g. political parties) before making a decision. The effect of freedoms on happiness is diminished in contexts where individuals hav…
