Core self-evaluations in the military context： Relative effects on job satisfaction and organizational commitment

This study validates the construct of core self-evaluations （CSE） and examines the relationship of CSE with global job satisfaction and organizational commitment in the military context. Analytical results from 114 sergeants in the military school are summarized as follows： （1） Analytical results validate the convergent and discriminant validity of the constructs; （2） CSE has significant positive relationships with global job satisfaction and organizational commitment. This study provides practical implications for management in both business and military organizations and suggestions for future studies.     

新时期民主党派基层组织建设的若干思考

从《独立评论》时评看胡适的民主宪政主张——兼与《新月》时期比较

胡适关于民主宪政的系列时评构成了《独立评论》最重要的内容之一。胡适批评国民党名不副实的“训政”,从理论和实践层面上阐释宪政在中国实行的重要性、可行性和阶段性,对反对宪政的观点进行了商榷和反驳。与《新月》时期相比,胡适批评的对象有所调整,批评的锋芒有所缓和,但他反专制的精神没变,爱国立场和独立人格依旧,他始终把实行民主政治确定为刊物最重要的内容之一。     

Justice in Health Care Decision-Making: Patients’ Appraisals of Health Care Providers and Health Plan Representatives

This study describes the development of two versions of a Health Care Justice Inventory (HCJI). One version focuses on patients interactions with their providers (HCJI-P) and the other focuses on patients interactions with the representatives of their health plans (HCJI-HP). Each version of the HCJI assesses patients appraisals of their interactions (with either their Provider or representatives of their Health Plan) along three common dimensions of procedural justice: Trust, Impartiality, and Participation. Both the Provider and Health Plan scales assess indices that are relatively independent of patients demographic characteristics. In addition, patients appraisals of their interactions with their provider were only moderately related to their appraisals of their interactions with representatives of their health plan, indicating that the Provider and Health Plan scales tap distinct aspects of patients overall experience with the health care system. Overall, procedural justice dimensions were significantly related to patient satisfaction in both the Provider and the Health Plan contexts. As predicted, procedural justice factors were more strongly tied to patient satisfaction in the Provider than in the Health Plan context, and health care decisions based on distributive justice principles of Need (rather than Equity or Equality) were most closely tied to patient satisfaction in both contexts.     

Global and Neighborhood Attitudes Toward the Police: Differentiation by Race,Ethnicity and Type of Contact

This study focused on a series of hypotheses regarding residents’ attitudes toward the police: (1) residents’ attitudes toward the police are better represented by a two-dimensional model that differentiates global perceptions of the police from assessments of the police in the respondents’ neighborhood; (2) the structure of residents’ attitudes toward the police is different for Whites, African Americans, and Latinos; (3) direct experiences with the police in the respondents’ neighborhood will be more strongly associated with the respondents’ assessment of police in their neighborhood than global perceptions of the police; and (4) the influence of direct experiences with the police will be stronger for African Americans and Latinos than for Whites. Results based on structural equation modeling offer strong support for the need to differentiate between global and neighborhood perceptions of the police. The underlining measurement structure of attitudes toward the police was similar for Whites, African Americans, and Latinos. However, the relationship between global and neighborhood attitudes was stronger for African Americans and Latinos. Negative contact with the police was associated with both negative global and neighborhood assessments of the police. Non-negative contact was associated with positive neighborhood perceptions of the police; however, only when it occurred within the neighborhood. The influence of direct experiences with the police (both inside and outside the neighborhood) was similar for Whites, African Americans, and Latinos.     

浅析欧洲社会民主党的伦理化倾向

社会民主主义思想是欧洲近100多年来的重要思潮。它的发展,经历了从修正主义到社会民主主义的过程,现在又呈现抽象化、伦理化的特点。与此同时,欧洲社会民主党始终坚持和劳工阶层站在一起。这使得社会民主党在欧洲得到了大多数人的支持。社会民主党的发展经验,对市场经济过程中党保证群众支持有深刻的借鉴意义。     

日本的行政改革及启示

日本的行政改革是在经济低迷与政局混乱中启动并完成的.其改革内容是全面的,体现了市场化、分权化与绩效化的趋向,在行政机构重新设置的过程中,完成了对传统官僚制的根本性改造,同时还实现了政府职能的重新清理与定位.改革过程中突出政治领导,充分利用内生动力,并尽力遏制部门利益,以及最终强化了政府首脑及内阁府的行政权力和综合协调功能等做法与结果为各国的行政改革提供了一定的借鉴与参考.     

政治价值整合:欧洲社会民主党执政实践的重要内容

政治价值整合是政党树立执政权威、扩大社会基础、增强执政能力的重要手段。20世纪末,面对欧洲社会的深刻变化,欧洲一些社会民主党通过其传统价值理念的批判式反思,整合建构新的政治纲领,并通过创新党内民主和社会参与的方式,实现了政治价值的整合,取得并执掌了政权。其执政实践为我们研究执政能力建设提供了很好的借鉴。
