The Role of Risk in Improving Goal Setting in Performance Management Practices within Public Sector: An Explorative Research in Courts Offices in Italy

The study investigates whether the adoption of a risk-based approach that allows public managers to take into account the context and external not-controllable factors during goal setting may contribute to overcome unintended managerial side effects of performance management (PM) practices that hamper their success within public organizations. An explorative research is carried out on court officials of Italian public administration. The results from this study show that the adoption of a risk-based approach could enhance goal setting within the PM process and provide interesting insights to policy-makers invested of the responsibility to improve the effectiveness of current PM procedures.

欧洲哲学史上的马克思

马克思是欧洲哲学由近代哲学转向现代哲学的开创性人物之一。他认为强调人的受动性与能动性是唯物主义和唯心主义的基本特征,劳动实践把二者结合在一起,实现了对唯物主义和唯心主义对立的超越。马克思的劳动实践辩证法合理地解释了人的生存状态,并且指出了人类走出异化获得解放的现实道路。这些是其他现代哲学家无法企及的重大成就。由于苏联马克思主义哲学对马克思的误解,他在欧洲哲学史上的伟大贡献和历史地位长期得不到公正的评价。     

主体弥散化与主体责任的终结：ChatGPT对全球安全实践的影响

在人工智能时代,以ChatGPT为代表的人工智能通用大模型将可能冲击全球安全互动中的“主体责任制”,造成安全主体的模糊化与责任缺失、安全客体责任的离散化与安全责任追责难等一系列问题。由于人工智能技术由弱向强、迭代演进的技术发展逻辑,不同技术阶段的“主体性危机”与“责任危机”的形态和程度各异。在弱人工智能时代,低智性通用大模型的赋能作用可能会强化安全互动场域中的边缘安全主体责任。安全互动呈现出多重安全主体并存与安全客体责任离散的互动模式。在强人工智能时代,通用大模型被拟造为“类人”主体,成为多重安全主体中的一分子,安全互动呈现出无秩序形态。既有安全主体可能会表现出过度依赖算法和主体权力被侵蚀的特征,而安全客体则表现为普遍卸责和主体责任终结的特点。为解决上述问题,需要从安全主体互动的“主体间性”层面入手,在弱人工智能时代,可利用区块链与人工智能技术形成合力,并细化事前责任;而在强人工智能时代,则可凭借大国协调,在确立智能体“半主体”身份后,建立一种“监护人”制度,在主体间性的逻辑上开展全球安全实践。     

竞争与整合：高绩效工作实践与工会实践关系的研究回顾及整合分析框架构建

人力资源管理实践与工会实践是企业劳动关系调整最基本的方式。随着高绩效工作实践的出现及广泛应用,高绩效工作实践与工会实践的关系得到了越来越多的关注。本研究以竞争与整合为基本视角,对探究两者关系的研究进行了梳理。在竞争视角下,高绩效工作实践与工会实践之间存在相互竞争,并表现出一定的替代性。在整合视角下,高绩效工作实践与工会实践二者由于相互促进、功能互补,更有可能对劳动关系的有序运行产生协同效应。研究认为,高绩效工作实践与工会实践更可能是整合状态,更容易产生协同互补性。在此基础上,结合中国情境,研究构建了整合视角下高绩效工作实践与工会实践产生协同作用的分析框架。     

The theory of value and the value of theory — a reply to Cutler et al.

Abstract

Serving as a pledge against a future promise, collateral has traditionally been understood as a ‘back office’ technicality that reduces the risk of default. Yet in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis and the erosion of faith among market participants in the credit quality of large banks, collateral is playing an increasingly important epistemic role within finance, as an anchor that underpins the valuation of a growing number of financial instruments. This paper explores the increasing importance of collateral to the modelling practices used by ‘quants’ to value ‘over-the-counter’ interest rate derivatives since the 2008 financial crisis, and how the inclusion of collateral expertise into quants’ own modelling practices has affected these markets. This historical episode suggests that while the inclusion of collateral expertise into banks’ front office modelling practices has made banks’ pricing models less abstract and more aligned to the traditionally overlooked legal practices that underpin derivatives trading, it has also led to an explosion of complexity in the valuation of these instruments that now threatens the future existence of these markets.     

Entre la autonomía y la heteronomía. Socialización universitaria y prácticas profesionales de los sociólogos en la Argentina

This article studies the relation between university socialization and professional practices of sociologists in Argentina since democracy’s restoration in the mid-eighties. On the one hand, it examines orientations and ways of understanding the discipline transmitted by the Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) curriculum contents and, on the other, it reconstructs the main labor market changes. Through the examination of the notion of autonomy (and its opposite, heteronomy), it aims to show that the professional practices of sociologists are strongly conditioned by the set of perception and classificatory schemes incorporated during university socialization. Those schemes, operating through a group of oppositions, contribute to the production of a set of “crafts” or modes of practicing sociology clearly differentiated according to the area or sphere of insertion.
