Valutare il merito. Pistis ed epiekeia nella Retorica di Aristotele.
2017
Nel secondo capitolo del primo libro della Retorica, definendo la prova basata sull’ethos (1356a 4-13), Aristotele collega la capacità dell’oratore di risultare credibile (pistos) presso il suo uditorio all’epieikeia, una qualità morale tipica del saggio (phronimos) che svolge un ruolo importante anche nella teoria aristotelica della giustizia (EN 1337a 32-1138a 3). In linea generale, la caratteristica specifica dell’epieikes è per Aristotele la capacità di esprimere giudizi e prendere decisioni caso per caso tenendo conto delle circostanze, anche al di là di ciò che è stabilito dalla legge (dikaion). In questo articolo mettiamo in luce come questo riferimento all’epieikeia in ambito retori…
Customers' Perceived Risk and Trust in Using Mobile Money Services—an Empirical Study of Ghana
2019
Although mobile money (MM) has been explored in the existing literature, the roles of trust and risk in MM use have received little attention from researchers. Furthermore, many of the existing studies have treated these constructs as unidimensional. The extant literature also shows that perceived risk has received little attention from researchers who have conducted studies on MM. Thus, the objective of this study is to examine the roles of trust and perceived risk in customers' intent to adopt MM services in Ghana. Both trust and perceived risk were broken down into various dimensions. The study involved 671 respondents who were selected via an intercept approach and an online survey. Str…
Trust and team identification at multicultural workplaces : perceptions of Finnish HR professionals
2017
Growing global mobility has rapidly diversified workplace demographics across the world. Finland that has traditionally been considered a relatively uniform nation in terms of cultural and ethnic diversity has also experienced a shift in its population in recent decades. Despite the growing multiculturalism, established diversity management practices are yet to be developed in many Finnish organizations, and the subject has not gained much academic attention either. Still, competent intercultural leaders are often vital for both successful business results and for the well-being of their multicultural teams. The aim of this thesis is to shed light on the current state of international human…

Using utilitarian, Kantian, virtue, and covenantal ethical theories, the study proposes an ethical decision model and subsequently applies the model …

The Association Between Ethical Leadership and Employee Outcomes - the Malaysian Case
2009
The topic of ethical leadership has received significant attention in recent years due to the plethora of corporate scandals both in the US and other countries. The shocking financial irregularities that have been uncovered in the executive suites of former Wall Street darlings like Tyco International, WorldCom, Adelphia, HealthSouth, and Enron and more recently Transmile in the case of Malaysia, bring to fore the need for ethical leadership more than ever before. The common thread underlying these corporate scandals is the failure of corporate leadership to demonstrate ethical leadership and its consequent negative impact on employee outcomes. However, despite its theoretical and practical…
Organizational Identity and Trust

This paper focuses on organizational identity and trust. The paper is being created from a theoretical point of view. Exploring concept and their interrelation is important and valuable scientific work with the purpose of better understanding their meaning and interrelation.

Both concepts describe an abstract phenomenon that is of growing interest in organization field of study. Despite of the conceptual ambiguity both identity and trust can be argued to be relative and qualitative by nature. In addition, they both are commo…

COVID-SCORE Spain: public perceptions of key government COVID-19 control measures
2021
Abstract Background Spain was initially one of the countries most affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In June 2020, the COVID-SCORE-10 study reported that the Spanish public’s perception of their government’s response to the pandemic was low. This study examines these perceptions in greater detail. Methods We employed an ordered logistic regression analysis using COVID-SCORE-10 data to examine the Spanish public’s perception of 10 key aspects of their government’s COVID-19 control measures. These included support for daily needs, mental and general health services, communication, information and coordination, which were examined by gender, age, education level, hav…
