The origin of failure: A multidisciplinary appraisal of the hubris hypothesis and proposed research agenda
2014
The hubris hypothesis complements the extant debate on how people make judgments and decisions in organizations. Drawing on the origin of hubris in Greek mythology, the psychological approach, and finance studies, this paper portrays an informed picture of the current status of managerial hubris literature that develops a more advanced understanding of what is known about hubris. We present a conceptual map that provides a comprehensive appreciation of hubris antecedents-symptoms-strategic choices-feedback performance main cause effect relationships. Our proposed conceptual map draws on the idea that managerial hubris is one of the determinants of CEO judgments, strategic choices, and organ…
La retribuzione nel lavoro pubblico in tempi di crisi
2019
Il saggio analizza le recenti misure di riduzione del costo del lavoro nel pubblico impiego italiano alla luce della degli orientamenti della giurisprudenza al riguardo. La crisi economica è un fattore sempre presente nelle argomentazioni dei giudici. Aumenta il tasso di litigiosità e il potere giudiziario deve valutare la legittimità del-le scelte della pubblica amministrazione e la reazione giudiziaria dei lavoratori pubblici nel tentativo di recuperare, in tutto o in parte, le quote di retribuzione perdute (o non adeguate nel corso del tempo).
Cappella Sistina: racconto pittorico
2020
Monumento della genialità dell’arte rinascimentale, la Cappella Sistina è un racconto pittorico delle varie tappe della storia dell’Umanità in prospettiva cristiana. Un progetto che prende slancio dall’atto della Creazione, attraversa narrazioni e passioni delle Storie di Mosè e di Cristo, e giunge fino all’anticipazione del Giudizio Universale. Sia per la meraviglia che si prova nel fare i primi concitati passi tra stuoli di turisti, sia per quel senso di straniante familiarità generato dagli innumerevoli riadattamenti contemporanei dei suoi capolavori, la Cappella Sistina non smette di stupire. Prendendo le mosse da una prospettiva assai diversa rispetto a queste riletture creative e a qu…
Spontaneous Order: Origins, Actual Spontaneity, Diversity
2015
In this paper, we aim to revive the research project on the spontaneous order by examining it critically. We aim to show that normative formulations of the spontaneous order suffer from one main flaw: they focus on the origin of orders rather than on how orders actually perform. In particular, we argue that such normative formulations tend to qualify orders as spontaneous according to two main requirements: unintendedness and negative liberty.
Vecchi e nuovi problemi in tema di intervento dei creditori nell’esecuzione (note a margine di Cass. S.U. n. 61 del 7 gennaio 2014)
2015
Nel contributo in oggetto l'autore, muovendo dalla decisione delle Sezioni Unite della Cassazione n. 61 del 7 gennaio 2014, coglie l'occasione per riesaminare le vecchie e nuove problematiche sottese all’intervento dei creditori nel processo esecutivo. Il primo tema affrontato è quello della par condicio creditorum, che viene esaminata nella sua storia evolutiva dal Code Napoleon, al suo periodo di massima estensione, dato dal codice del 1940, fino al suo ridimensionamento a seguito delle riforme del 2005. Esamina quindi la possibilità del possibile superamento quoad effectum della distinzione tra intervento di creditori con titolo e senza titolo, alla luce delle evoluzioni della giurisprud…
La valutazione degli alunni nel primo ciclo dell’istruzione
2022
It describes the procedural process for replacing grades with descriptive judgments in the assessment of the learning objectives of primary school pupils starting from the academic year. 2020-21. This process is compared with the one followed between 1989 and 1993 for the introduction of assessments in middle school. It is believed that project-based institutional action research is the best way to introduce an innovation into the school system. It describes the procedural process for replacing grades with descriptive judgments in the assessment of the learning objectives of primary school pupils starting from the academic year. 2020-21. This process is compared with the one followed betwee…
Differentiating among pragmatic uses of words through timed sensicality judgments
2013
Pragmatic and cognitive accounts of figurative language posit a difference between metaphor and metonymy in terms of underlying conceptual operations. Recently, other pragmatic uses of words have been accounted for in the Relevance Theory framework, such as approximation, described in terms of conceptual adjustment that varies in degree and direction with respect to the case of metaphor. Despite the theoretical distinctions, there is very poor experimental evidence addressing the metaphor/metonymy distinction, and none concerning approximation. Here we used meticulously built materials to investigate the interpretation mechanisms of these three phenomena through timed sensicality judgments.…
Scaffolding self-regulated learning from causal-relations texts: Diagramming and self-assessment to improve metacomprehension accuracy?
2023
AbstractThe accuracy of students’ relative comprehension judgments when reading texts is typically rather low. This has been ascribed to students grounding their comprehension judgments on cues that are not diagnostic of their actual comprehension level. Asking students to complete causal diagrams—a diagramming scaffold—before judging comprehension has proved effective in providing them with more diagnostic cues and thereby fostered metacomprehension accuracy and self-regulated learning. However, there is still room for improvement. We investigated experimentally whether adding the instruction to students to self-assess their causal diagrams: (1) would lead to more accurate judgments than c…
Come e quando le norme internazionali operano negli ordinamenti statali
2023
In this chapter the main issues concerning legal effects of international legal rules in domestic orders are examined in a systematic way. This investigation is underpinned by the following five pillars. First, the idea that States are not bound by international obligations in this respect. Second, that despite the persistent (albeit limited) importance of formal models of incorporation of international law into domestic law, a central role is played by domestic courts, with particular regard to the identification of self-"executing" rules. Third, that international legal rules may sometimes produce legal effects in domestic orders, even in the absence of a formal incorporation into domesti…
