The role of negative and positive forms of power in supporting CSR alignment and commitment between large firms and SMEs
2018
Do large firms exert power to shape the CSR behavior of their SME partners?” We answer this question by proposing a model built on the stakeholder theory and the shareholder theory, and go on to explain how this impact influences the commitment of the SME towards their large partner. The model highlights the central role that different forms of power exercised by the large firm play in the process. A survey of 291 SMEs confirms the key hypotheses, including the mediating role of reward power. The effects of coercive power are noteworthy and they illustrate the complex and competing forces at play in influencing CSR behavioral change in SMEs. The research makes a novel contribution to practi…
Small-sample characterization of stochastic approximation staircases in forced-choice adaptive threshold estimation
2007
Despite the widespread use of up—down staircases in adaptive threshold estimation, their efficiency and usability in forced-choice experiments has been recently debated. In this study, simulation techniques were used to determine the small-sample convergence properties of stochastic approximation (SA) staircases as a function of several experimental parameters. We found that satisfying some general requirements (use of the accelerated SA algorithm, clear suprathreshold initial stimulus intensity, large initial step size) the convergence was accurate independently of the spread of the underlying psychometric function. SA staircases were also reliable for targeting percent-correct levels far …
Ethical challenges in care for older patients who resist help
2014
Background: Situations where patients resist necessary help can be professionally and ethically challenging for health professionals, and the risk of paternalism, abuse and coercion are present. Research question: The purpose of this study was to examine ethical challenges in situations where the patient resists healthcare. Research design: The method used was clinical application research. Academic staff and clinical co-researchers collaborated in a hermeneutical process to shed light on situations and create a basis for new action. Participants and research context: Four research groups were established. Each group consisted of six to eight clinical co-researchers, all employees with diff…
Alcune riflessioni su The Force of Law di Schauer
2018
In this article, I will analyze some arguments developed by Schauer in this book The Force of Law, in particular the role of the coercion in law. Coercion is not only a typical feature of law, but is an empirical-universal feature, present in all systems of positive law which exist, will ever exist and historically existed.
Rules, Conventionalism and Normativity: Some Remarks Starting from Hart
2014
The paper deals with the “conventionalist turn” in legal positivism in relation to the matter of the duty to obey the law and legal normativity. In this respect, conventionalist legal positivism is worth considering (a) because it offers an explanation of legal normativity partly different vis-a-vis previous ones and (b) because it tries to preserve the autonomy of legal obligation from moral obligation and coercion, respectively. Here I will only focus on legal conventionalism as sketched out by Hart in the Postscript. Indeed, Hart’s conventionalism comes up against problems which to some extent also affect other distinguished versions of legal conventionalism like, for example, those work…
Explaining the Inexplicable: Differences in Attributions for the Holocaust in Germany, Israel, and Poland
2016
Seventy years have passed since the Holocaust, but this cataclysmic event continues to reverberate in the present. In this research, we examine attributions about the causes of the Holocaust and the influence of such attributions on intergroup relations. Three representative surveys were conducted among Germans, Poles, and Israeli Jews to examine inter- and intragroup variations in attributions for the Holocaust and how these attributions influence intergroup attitudes. Results indicated that Germans made more external than internal attributions and were especially low in attributing an evil essence to their ancestors. Israelis and Poles mainly endorsed the obedient essence attribution and …
La teoria del diritto come pratica sociale e la coercizione
2020
Poiche non si puo trattare del posto che la coercizione ha nel concetto di diritto senza far riferimento ad una specifica teoria del diritto, il paper ricostruisce le linee generali della teoria del diritto come pratica sociale, focalizzando in particolare l’obiettivo del diritto di custodire l’agency dei consociati per contrastare l’uso arbitrario del potere. Nella seconda parte si affronta dal punto di vista del diritto come pratica sociale il tema generale della coercizione giuridica e ci si chiede soprattutto se l’uso giuridico della forza non sia anch’esso nella sostanza una forma di potere che contraddice il fine generale della custodia dell’agency.
Liberalism, how many divisions?
2022
Liberalism is a very broad political family which, if taken in the broadest sense, brings together authors with diverse positions whose only common point is their attachment to freedom. Therefore, to find one’s way around in this political family, it is essential to establish classification criteria. There are many possibilities: Liberals can be classified by nationality, by period, by preferred field of interest (economic liberalism, political liberalism), etc. This article proposes to classify them following two criteria, the conception of freedom on the one hand, and the utilitarian or jusnaturalist basis of the attachment to freedom on the other. These two criteria generate an operation…
Formaciones sociales y opresión en Marx
2018
The text explains the difference between Marx?s concept of «oppression» and others as «coercion» by Durkheim or «domination» by Weber. The article then establishes, in a methodical way, the centrality of a passage from Capital, in which three different theories on «oppression» appear. It?s explained that two of them are rather a philosophical antinomy. The other, relative to the heteronomy of social time, can be completed by defining the heteronomy of social space, which gives it analytical virtuality. Some examples are given.
Sull’applicabilità in materia tributaria della penalità di mora prevista dal codice di procedura civile
2021
Nel giudizio tributario di annullamento, se a volte la rimozione dell’atto dichiarato illegittimo risulta già pienamente satisfattiva, altre volte potrebbe non essere sufficiente, rendendosi necessaria un’attività in positivo dell’amministrazione, consistente, ad esempio, nella cancellazione dell’iscrizione a ruolo, o di un provvedimento cautelare già adottato. In ambito processual-civilistico l’art. 614 bis c.p.c. prevede uno strumento di coazione indiretta, finalizzato a stimolare l’esecuzione spontanea delle sentenze di condanna all’adempimento di obbligazioni diverse dal pagamento delle somme di denaro. All’interno del decreto sul processo tributario non si rinviene alcuna norma che dis…
