Human Resource Management Models: Aspects of Knowledge Management and Corporate Social Responsibility
2014
AbstractOver time, changes have affected not only the attitude towards people employed in organizations and the knowledge and intellectual capital, but also social values and responsibility. The aim of the paper is to analyse and assess the aspects of knowledge management and corporate social responsibility and their development in different human resource management (HRM) models. While researching the issue of HRM impact on the organizational performance, the authors have analysed several HRM models that show the relationship between HRM practices, the factors influencing their choice, and the organizational outcomes. The models differ with the unitary approach, which believes that employe…
High-commitment work practices and the social responsibility issue: interaction and benefits
2021
Human Resource Management (HRM) has a potentially vital role to play in addressing the new challenges that companies have to face and in delivering initiatives in the framework of corporate sustainability. Our work attempts to shed light on the strategic role of High-Commitment Work Practices (HCWP) as a Corporate Sustainability (CS) partner and, more specifically, to analyze the implications of their integration on the competitiveness of the firm. With this purpose, we apply a qualitative methodology, using a single case study, to explore and explain why and how the interaction between HCWP and CS takes place. The results show how this interaction encourages the formulation and implementat…
Adolescent Brain Development and Progressive Legal Responsibility in the Latin American Context
2020
In this article, we analyze the contributions of neuroscience to the development of the adolescent brain and shed additional light on the minimum age of criminal responsibility in the context of Latin America. In neurobiology, maturity is perceived to be complex because the brain’s temporal development process is not uniform across all its regions. This has important consequences for adolescents’ behavior; in their search for the acceptance of their peers, they are more vulnerable to pressure and more sensitive to stress than adults. Their affectivity is more unstable, and they show signs of low tolerance to frustration and important emotional reactivity, with a decrease in the capacity to …

Corporate Social Irresponsibility and Legitimacy Maintenance: Lessons from the Parmalat Scandal
2014
Audience decisions regarding whether to continue to support a corporation after it has been perceived as culpable for socially irresponsible behaviour is “coin of the realm” in selecting which firms (or which parts of a firm) will be able to survive a CSI-scandal. Our empirical setting is an embedded polar case of audience support, the Parmalat case, following a severe CSI scandal. Whilst the adaptive strategies taken to maintain the harmed moral legitimacy were a necessary procedural phase to consent the firms’ survival, they could not be considered sufficient to reintegrate the firm with its main constituent audiences. Essential to the maintaining process was the presence of rational effe…
Whether an innovation act as a catalytic moderator between corporate social responsibility performance and stated owned and non‐state owned enterpris…
2021
The objective of the study is to signify the impact of corporate social responsibility performance on state‐owned and non‐state‐owned enterprises' performance. The contributive concept of CSR performance has been formulated while contemplating total tax, staff expenditure, public welfare expenditure, social cost and total equity. To contemplate with deep insight, the moderating role of innovation input and output has been substantiated through empirical results. The data of 502 listed companies on Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan has been endorsed for years 2009–2018. Empirical underpinnings reveal that corporate social responsibility performance boosts the non‐state‐owned ent…
Spazi e tempi dell’educare tra casa e scuola: note di pedagogia fondamentale alla luce della pandemia
2021
Among the most immediate consequences of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to rethink all the spaces of daily life and, therefore, also those of education, particularlly has emerged. The unprecedented difficulties in managing the times and spaces of educating have made it no longer possible to postpone a careful pedagogical reflection on them: from a phenomenological perspective, this means trying to describe, starting from the experiences of lived times and spaces, how much remains essential in the experience of educating between school and home before the pandemic, and what turned out to be accidental or even uneducational. In this perspective, the text launches some ideas for…
L’eros che non c’è. Meraviglie e contraddizioni dell’amore
2020
Nonostante sia fra le più logore e abusate, la parola ‘amore’ continua ad accendere il nostro entusiasmo, perché lascia intravedere una bellezza di cui non riusciamo a fare a meno e che, al tempo stesso, sembra sfuggirci continuamente. Cosa c’è dietro le promesse, spesso non mantenute, di questo formidabile sentimento? Perché l’amore resiste a ogni delusione, e siamo sempre tutti pronti a investire ancora sulle sue lusinghe? Si tratta di un intrattenimento ludico (Lucrezio), di una dipendenza patologica (Marco Aurelio), della più pericolosa delle illusioni umane (Schopenhauer) o della chiave segreta della vita (Platone)? Prendendo spunto dal vissuto quotidiano e spaziando dalla mitologia gr…
Quid meruere nepotes. Responsabilità e merito nella Pharsalia di Lucano
2017
Il contributo indaga l’epos lucaneo ricostruendo i contesti in cui compaiono nel poema meritum e derivati, immagini che coinvolgono tanto la nozione di merito quanto quella di responsabilità. Si tratta di un’oscillazione ben visibile ed operante all’interno dell’opera, dove tali accezioni tornano con frequenza a scandire tanto le azioni dei protagonisti quanto i severi giudizi del narratore. The paper deals with Lucan’s Pharsalia, reconstructing the contexts in which meritum and derivatives appear, images that both involve the notion of merit as that of responsibility. It is a highly visible and active presence within the poem, where such meanings frequently appear, characterizing both the …
CSR przyszłości pomiędzy dyskusją akademicką a codziennością
2018
W niniejszym artykule pokrótce scharakteryzowana zostanie próba rekonstrukcji modelu CSR, która dotyczy pojawienia się w literaturze przedmiotu nowych konceptów jak (1) CSR 2.0, (2) CSV – Corporate Share Value (3) CSP – Corporate Social Performance. Na poziomie empirycznym teoretycy i praktycy z zakresu modelu odpowiedzialności biznesu zgadzają się zasadniczo iż model ten mający początki w praktyce wielkich przedsiębiorstw, w szczególności korporacji transnarodowych, powinien zostać również wdrożony przez inne podmioty, czyli małe i średnie przedsiębiorstwa. Celem artykułu jest odpowiedź na pytanie, czy małe i średnie przedsiębiorstwa scharakteryzować można jako przedsiębiorstwa realizujące…
