略论人民满意政府之政绩考核

唯物史观认为,人民群众是历史的主体,是历史的创造者。要建立人民满意的政府,需要侧重于可持续发展的政绩考核机制。政府官员要有科学的政绩观,要做得人心、暖人心、稳人心的好事实事。这样的考核机制要经得起人民和历史的检验,官员在任期间的经济和社会发展好与不好,要用人民群众的满意度来评判,还要经得起历史检验。     

Introducing the Non-Financial Indicators Into the Enterprise Evaluation

Currently, the enterprise performance becomes a hot topic because it inherently captures all areas of the enterprise activities that should be combined so that the enterprise is prosperous in the long term and has a long-term perspective of existence. New approaches to measure and evaluate the enterprise performance are being implemented, which come from the traditional system based on financial indicators, and also other aspects of a non-financial character are added to them. The modern way of performance evaluation is based on the assumption that the company is efficient if it is able to achieve pre-defined strategic objectives. A new set of financial and non-financial performance indicators are identified, which helps to monitor and control decision-making and strategy realization in small and medium industrial enterprises. This paper shows the importance and necessity of the use of the non-financial indicators in measuring the enterprise performance. These indicators are nowadays commonly used tools for the performance evaluation in all areas of the enterprise. The concepts of ISO （International Standardization Organization） standards, TQM （Total Quality Management） concepts, and Balanced Scorecard concept belong among the most common concepts defining the necessity of measuring with the non-financial indicators and describing also the concrete areas of the enterprise evaluation.     

The Effect of Corporate Governance on Corporate Performance in the Financial Industry in Nigeria

The business environment in which the financial industry operates is full of uncertainty and limitations. The inability of some firms in this sector to produce capable management that can guide the interests of shareholders in the light of ethics and values has generated frequent cases of business downturn. This has compelled the industry to adopt the strategy of corporate governance which hinges on the intellectual honesty of directors and management to promote transparency, equity, and accountability, and provide leadership that will guide the industry in the right direction. The major objective of this paper is to ascertain whether corporate governance is a strategy for corporate performance. The study made use of both primary and secondary sources of data. The survey research method and the data analysis techniques comprised of simple percentages and chi-square derived from Kendal coefficient. It discovered that corporate governance is a strategy for corporate performance and the financial sector has failed to improve their performance using this strategy. It was recommended that the regulatory agencies should constantly review the acts that ensure good corporate governance and embark on constant monitoring in order to sanction any defaulting bank.     

Autonomy and Performance of Agentification： Cases of Nine Independent Agencies in Thailand

Facing the limitations of bureaucracy and the pressures of crisis and change, the government reforms in many countries adopted a discipline of new public management （NPM） by separating autonomous agencies （agentification） in the public sector. Nonetheless, there are still very few empirical studies of performance assessment of this type of agency. This paper has two main objectives： （1） to explore the governance and autonomy of nine independent agencies under the Ministry of Industry （MOI） in Thailand; and （2） to present performance assessment of these nine independent agencies. This study uses both qualitative and quantitative approaches in collecting data, including three focus groups, 37 in-depth interviews, and 3,428 questionnaire surveys. The paper applies the concepts of agentification of NPM to examine the multidimensions of autonomy and to evaluate the performance of the nine agencies, covering effectiveness, financial self-reliance, and the impact on industrial development. Finally, this paper discusses the effects of agentification and suggests policy and managerial implications as well as further research directions.     

审判管理何以可能——以“大日子”涉诉信访为例

当前审判管理工作的重点是要对审判质效和审判绩效进行科学考评,以确保司法公正、廉洁、高效。"大日子"涉诉信访现实地存在于我们的司法体制中,其所涉的许多案件都与政策和立法关联很深,并常常打破司法规律,对审判管理产生着很大的影响。无视这种影响,审判质量管理所要求的立案率、上诉率、申诉率等指标便难以达成,审判效率所要求的收结案动态平衡会很难实现,依托于审判质效管理的审判绩效管理也无法运作,反而有被刻意迎合和被架空的危险。应该淡化"大日子"的影响,择机废除涉诉信访,及时修正审判质效评估体系和审判绩效考评指标,使我们的司法能够稳定地、循序渐进地发展。     

论现代绩效管理方法对工会企事业管理的启示

平衡记分卡是二十世纪末由美国哈佛商学院教授罗伯特·卡普兰和诺顿研究所所长戴维·诺顿共同设计的一套考核工具和绩效管理方法,经过国內外一些企业的实践尝试,证明其在促进短期经济增长和实现长远价值和利益的结合上发挥着重要作用,目前在国內已愈益成为备受企业青睐的一套现代管理体系。工会企事业如何在日益激烈的市场竞争中站稳脚跟并发展壮大,以平衡记分卡为原理的绩效管理方法提供了一种现代管理思维和启示。     

上市公司股权结构、股东行为与治理绩效问题实证分析

本文利用上市公司年报数据分析描述了上市公司股权构成、股权集中度、股东行为的特征,并在此基础上验证了三者与公司绩效之间关系的研究假设。结果表明,国家股、法人股没有表现出其与公司绩效的显著相关关系;流通股对公司绩效也不存在显著的相关关系。股权集中程度越高公司绩效越差。股东参与公司治理的积极性与公司绩效之间存在正相关关系。     

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF YOUTH THEFT,MARIJUANA USE,DEPRESSION, AND POOR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE*

Explanations for the fact that crime tends to run in families have focused on the deprived social backgrounds of criminal parents, methods of child‐rearing, modeling processes, and genetic mechanisms. However, parental involvement in the criminal justice system itself also might contribute to the intergenerational transmission of crime and have other adverse effects on children's well‐being. We investigated the development of youth problem behavior in relation to parental arrest, conviction, and incarceration in the youngest and oldest samples of the Pittsburgh Youth Study, a longitudinal survey of 1,009 inner‐city boys. Parental arrest and conviction without incarceration did not predict the development of youth problem behavior. Parental incarceration was not associated with increases in marijuana use, depression, or poor academic performance. However, boys experiencing parental incarceration showed greater increases in theft compared with a control group matched on propensity scores. The association between parental incarceration and youth theft was stronger for White youth than for Black youth. Parenting and peer relations after parental incarceration explained about half of its effects on youth theft. Because the effects of parental incarceration were specific to youth theft, labeling and stigma processes might be particularly important for understanding the consequences of parental incarceration for children.     

Characterization and dating of blue ballpoint pen inks using principal component analysis of UV-Vis absorption spectra, IR spectroscopy, and HPTLC

The ink of pens and ink extracted from lines on white photocopier paper of 10 blue ballpoint pens were subjected to ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, infrared (IR), and high-performance thin-layer liquid chromatography (HPTLC). The R(f) values and color tones of the bands separated by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis used to classify the writing inks into three groups. The principal component analysis (PCA) investigates the pen responsible for a piece of writing, and how time affects spectroscopy of written ink. PCA can differentiate between pen ink and ink line indicates the influence of solvent extraction process on the results. The PCA loadings are useful in individualization of a questioned ink from a database. The PCA of ink lines extracted at different times can be used to estimate the time at which a questioned document was written. The results proved that the UV-Vis spectra are effective tool to separate blue ballpoint pen ink in most cases rather than IR and HPTLC.     

Explaining Majority and Minority Trust in the Police

This article tests the contribution that social capital theory, performance theory, and the procedural justice-based model can make towards explaining the trust of majority and minority group members in the police. The central research questions are: (1) do the same factors determine their levels of trust? and (2) are the effects parallel? To answer these questions, we carried out regression analyses on data collected from majority and minority group members living in Belgium (960 face-to-face interviews). The results show that, although the three theories offer explanatory elements for members of both majority and minority groups, the explanation of their trust in the police is not identical. Implications for research and theorization are discussed.
