Conditions of cultural citizenship: intersections of gender, race and age in public debates on family migration
2015
This article analyses problem framings in public debates on family migration in Finland. The study focuses on the less-examined category of age and how it intersects with gender, race and religion. We examine the discursive context within which parliamentarians and the media negotiate questions of migration policies, belonging and citizenship. Our analysis identifies problem framings by combining frame analysis with the ‘What is the problem represented to be?’ approach, which understands policies as problematizations. We found that the debates held up the rather common notion of vulnerable women and children as groups that tighter family migration policies protect. The debates excluded cert…
The Faces of Civil Justice in the Global Society of the 21st Century
2015
Over time the consecration of political and democratic social models have allowed to convert the process into a category of an instrument or alternative in exercising the fundamental right to Access Justice; it is an Instrument, certainly, but it is an indispensable instrument in achieving this and it became a guarantor of citizens, with the right to claim protection and to do so from parameters that responded from a formal structure to the achievements that modern constitutionalism has achieved. We might think the world has changed. And with this change society and Justice has also undergone transformations. The panorama that we live offers us a desperate search for a model of Justice in w…

Political Skills in Organizations: Do Personality and Reputation Play a Role?
2008
between altruistic behavior (goodwill toward co workers) and compliance behavior (attitude to ward the firm and its regulations, mission, etc.). It turned out that job satisfaction was related to formal performance and compliance behavior, but not to altruistic behavior. Job commitment was also related to formal performance. Finally, goal setting was related to formal performance and altruistic behavior but was not connected to com pliance behavior. In the second stage of the study, supervisors who had participated in earlier evaluations reas sessed employees' performance and feedback. The feedback included information about formal goal attainment as well as informal behaviors such as suppo…

Pensamiento dominante, educación y medios de comunicación
2018
Comunicar es algo más que transmitir información. El desarrollo de la tecnología e internet han evolucionado el acto de comunicar en el mundo y se han creado nuevos espacios de comunicación. Los medios de comunicación suelen estar al servicio de un determinado poder, que puede ser público o privado. Sin embargo en este artículo se pone el acento en los intereses que tienen determinados poderes del ámbito privado y el uso que hacen de los medios de comunicación para defender y promover dichos intereses. No obstante, ese poder también puede dar lugar a formas de resistencias que sirvan para subvertir el orden establecido. Los medios de comunicación sirven como altavoces del pensamiento único …
Cultural institutions as agents of urban and community regeneration in the (post-)pandemic city. The case of the «Laboratorio Zen Insieme» in Palermo
2022
Although all cities in the world have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, its impacts on the territories, yet to be understood, are unevenly distributed, revealing extremely varied imbalances depending on the places. However, it is clear that the virus and its variants have aggravated pre-existing socio-spatial inequalities, creating new ones and bringing attention back to those implications between space, planning, public health and citizenship that are at the origins of contemporary urbanism. In a reference framework in which the crisis is globalized but unequal and in the absence of a welfare system capable of responding to the urgencies of the most marginalized social contexts and g…
Job preservation efforts: when does job insecurity prompt performance?
2020
PurposeWhile job insecurity generally impedes performance, there may be circumstances under which it can prompt performance. The purpose of this paper is to examine a specific situation (reorganization) in which job insecurity may prompt task and contextual performance. The authors propose that performance can represent a job preservation strategy, to which employees may only resort when supervisor-issued ratings of performance are instrumental toward securing one’s job. The authors hypothesize that because of this instrumentality, job insecurity will motivate employees’ performance only when they have low intrinsic motivation, and only when they perceive high distributive justice.Design/me…
Do Unnecessary Tasks Impair Performance Because They Harm Living a Calling? : Testing a Mediation in a Three-Wave Study
2021
This three-wave study explored whether living a calling (at work) mediated the relation between unnecessary tasks (time wasting work tasks) and socio-contextual performance at work (cynicism, organizational citizenship behavior). Participants were 518 Finnish white- and blue-collar employees, who were followed up in 2018, 2019, and 2020. The results of structural equation modeling showed that unnecessary tasks at Time 1 related negatively to living a calling at Time 2, which, in turn, related to cynicism and organizational citizenship behavior at T3. Thus, living a calling mediated the relation between unnecessary tasks and the outcomes. We found no evidence for the moderator role of living…
ORGANIZATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOR, PREDICTOR OF JOB PERFORMANCE
2014
This article outlines the Romanian and foreign studies carried on concerning the subject of Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). The help given to a colleague when necessary he/she needs it, giving up to a better job offer made by competing firms, continous training, all of these define the organizational citizenship behavior and support a proper organizational functioning. Nowadays the concept of „organizational citizenship behavior ” known also as „devoted soldier syndrome” is an unfamiliar term for many managers. As far as managers are concerned they consider that organizational citizenship behavior is almost impossible to be applied in Romanian organizations. This article prezents…
