影响高等学校编制外员工组织承诺的因素研究

我国高等教育领域编内人员和编外人员在职位晋升、薪酬福利水平等方面存在巨大差异,引发编外人员心里落差大,组织承诺低等问题。为了解高校编外人员的工作状况,以北京大学校本部全体劳动合同制员工为调查总体,采用组织承诺量表进行测量。研究结果表明:合同制员工的感情承诺分值最高,规范承诺其次,继续承诺最低;员工自身的市场竞争力和组织对员工的支持程度对员工的组织承诺具有显著性影响;有效的沟通、公平性和对部门领导者的认同程度可能影响员工的组织承诺。通过实证研究发现,除了员工自身的市场竞争力,组织支持是影响员工组织承诺重要的因素。     

Jewish Religiosity and Political Attitudes in the United States and Israel

Does religious commitment have a common political impact across national frontiers? To date, that question has been explored empirically only for Roman Catholics, who might be expected to behave similarly because of centralizing resources in their tradition. This article explores the extent of transnational political attitudes among Jews in the United States and Israel, two groups with less centralized authority structures and radically different religious situations. Parallel surveys of Jews in the United States and Israel, analyzed by OLS regression with the slope dummy approach, indicate that Jewish religiosity has a common influence on most political issues but often has much sharper effects in one society than the other. Given our expectation that Jews would exhibit lower levels of transnational similarity than Roman Catholics, the findings reinforce scholars who perceive religion as a potent transnational political factor.     

Community not the Councillors: A Study of Commitment of Australian Senior Council Officers Working under a Politicised Employment Relationship

Council officers as public managers are expected to work for the community. Yet, it has been argued that council officers working under a politicised employment relationship are likely to be more committed to the elected councillors than to the community. This proposition has been examined through a survey of senior council officers across Australia and the results are presented in this article. This study develops an analytical approach which combines for the first time the multi-focus and the multiple bases of managerial commitment approaches, applies this to the case of Australian local government managers and finds that although most senior council officers perceive that their employment is politicised they remain committed to the community. Based upon these findings, it is argued that a conceptual framework utilising a combined multi-focus and multiple bases approach is more appropriate to the study of commitment of local government managers and to managers in the public sector in general than the use of either approach alone.     

收买被拐卖的妇女、儿童罪若干疑难问题探析

行为人产生出卖目的的时间对于收买被拐卖妇女、儿童罪转化犯的认定具有重要作用.刑法对本罪除罪事由的规定具有合理性,同时,基于收买对象是妇女还是儿童的差异,对本罪除罪事由也应作不同理解.被害人承诺在符合一定条件的情况下,可以免除收买人的刑事责任.在罪数形态上,收买者同时实施了教唆、帮助拐卖行为的,构成牵连犯,应从一重处断;在构成本罪转化犯的情况下,行为人又实施了非法拘禁、虐待、强奸等行为的,不能实行数罪并罚,应以拐卖妇女、儿童罪一罪论处.     

Public commitment strategies in intergovernmental negotiations on the EU Constitutional Treaty

We analyze the impact of public commitment strategies as bargaining tools in the negotiations on the EU Constitutional Treaty using a sequential-bargaining model with incomplete information. The analysis suggests selection bias in observable public commitments with respect to the kind of issues that are publicly challenged as well as the kind of governments that will ‘go public’. Public commitments are more likely under high uncertainty over audience costs. Further, the effect of public commitments on the duration and outcome of negotiation is conditional as well. In our empirical analysis, where we analyze the intergovernmental stage of the negotiations on the European Constitutional Treaty, we find strong empirical support for each of our theoretical predictions. Governments were most likely to commit publicly if they represented a domestic constituency that was negative about the EU Constitution and, at the same time, contained many undecided respondents. Moreover, these public commitments were generally quickly accommodated. In contrast, public commitments were less likely to lead to any changes if they were made by governments representing a domestic constituency that was relatively positive about the draft Constitution or negative and decided. In the latter case, however, public statements made bargaining deadlock more likely.

论司法承诺规则在侦查讯问中的应用

司法承诺规则在侦查讯问中发挥着重要作用。侦查讯问有很强的对抗特征,较量的双方必然要采取一定的手段,这种思维的对抗具有博弈性。司法承诺规则能够保证犯罪嫌疑人得到某种利益,使犯罪嫌疑人自愿同司法机关协作,从而有效地降低侦查成本,提高侦查效率。文章在对司法承诺规则作详细介绍的基础上,从实体法和程序法两方面对其进行了构建,以实现侦查讯问中司法承诺的法治化,从而更好地指导实践工作。     

可信质量理论与公安高等教育质量评价

质量信息的模糊性、专业人才培养目标的可实现性,以及高等教育质量评价的可信性是高等教育质量理论与实践研究的关键。本文采用系统属性协同对比方法,提出了高等教育可信质量的概念,并建立了高等教育可信质量评价体系。研究表明,高等教育人才培养的一般质量是一种有用性质量;专门人才培养质量是一种性能质量;专门合格人才培养质量是一种效能质量。可信质量的意义在于将教育质量的性能转换为教育质量的效能,从而实现了高等教育人才培养多目标协同目的。通过对公安高等教育的实际应用分析,得出我国公安高等教育可信质量为一般水平,必须改进教育模式、进行专业结构的优化设计,才能从根本上提高公安高等教育的可信质量,从而加快公安高等教育的发展。     

Decision-Making About Volitional Impairment in Sexually Violent Predators

The Kansas v. Hendricks (1997) decision, in which the Supreme Court authorized post-sentence civil commitment for certain sex offenders, appeared to be constitutionally legitimized by limiting the class of offenders eligible for this special form of civil commitment to those who are "unable to control" their dangerousness. Nowhere in the available record, however, did the Court elucidate what they meant by this notion of volitional impairment. This study sought to examine factors that legal professionals (n=43), psychologists (n=40), and mock jurors (n=76) deem most relevant to a determination of sex offender volitional impairment. Participants, who were randomly assigned to a sexual predator commitment or an insanity hearing context, read a series of 16 vignettes that described a pedophilic offender and included combinations of variables hypothesized to be related to judgments of volitional impairment. Results suggested that participants, who as a group made remarkably high estimates of likelihood of future sexual violence, considered verbalization of control, history of sexual violence, and the context of the hearing as highly relevant to determinations of volitional impairment. Implications for policy and practice are explored.
