Leadership Styles as Perceived by Career Senior Service Executives

Abstract

This study identifies the prevailing leadership styles of career Senior Executive Service (SES) members of the Federal Government. This study also determines if an association exits between SES member's self‐perceived leadership style and personal characteristics, such as gender, years in the Federal Service, and highest academic degree earned. The study population consists of 6395 career SES members. A random sample of 364 career SES members was selected. The selected group was asked to respond to a demographic data questionnaire and the Styles of Leadership Survey (SLS). Over 34% of the sample completed the instrument and data questionnaire. This study reveals that Strategic Leadership Style (5/5) is the dominant self‐perceived leadership style of career SES members. The personal characteristics of gender, years employed in the Federal Government, and educational attainment were identified as being significant factors influencing leadership styles of Federal Government executives.     

Toxicity in the Details: The History of the Women's Office Worker Movement and Occupational Health in the Late-Capitalist Office

In the early years of the twentieth century Japanese employers, like their counterparts in the various Western countries, experimented with programs of firm-based social welfare and social insurance, often collectively identified as welfare capitalism. This essay examines these programs, focusing on those operated by the national railroad system. It argues that these programs were neither a distinctive emanation of traditional values nor simply a result of mimicry of Western-inspired programs. They were instead an instance of a global effort by employers everywhere to cope with rapidly changing conditions and the challenges of modern economic development. The essay also argues that these Japanese programs, like those in Western countries, influenced and helped to set the parameters of state-based health and welfare systems that emerged in the first half of the century.     

民事公益之基本类型与程序路径

民事诉讼所要承载之"公益"价值目标可一分为二:"集合性公益"与"纯粹性公益"。基于其间的本质差异,承载二者的制度逻辑和程序原理必须有所区别。传统的"群体性诉讼"制度,如代表人诉讼、选定当事人诉讼、集团诉讼、示范性诉讼(亦称实验性诉讼)等,足以承载"集合性公益"之救济需求。"纯粹性公益"之价值目标,则必须由"公益侵害阻断程序"加以承载。我国新《民事诉讼法》第55条所要建立的民事公益诉讼制度是以德国为代表的"团体诉讼"(verbandsklage)制度为模本的。该项制度在一定程度上开始突破传统民事诉讼之私益属性原理,在广义上属于公益侵害阻断程序的范畴,其制度功能处于"集合性公益"与"纯粹性公益"的临界点上。     

“平衡”是法的最高境界

平衡与法存在必然的联系,平衡是法的本质要求,是法的价值内核,决定法的制定、法的内容、法的目的。本文从法的现象出发,从静态、动态、横向、纵向四个维度对法进行了综合阐述,论证了＂平衡＂反映法的最高规格,是法发展的最高状态。     

机动车损害赔偿归责原则之变动——基于“中国式过马路”行为展开

我国《道路交通安全法》对机动车一方、行人等交通参与者的安全注意义务都给予了明确规定.然而,“中国式过马路”行为模式的产生给该法律中规定的机动车损害赔偿归责原则带来了巨大挑战.为了体现法律的公平理念,机动车损害赔偿领域应构建无过错责任原则和过错责任原则并存的归责原则体系,即在机动车第三者责任强制保险的责任限额范围内实行无过错责任原则,在保险责任限额范围外采取过错责任.

The effects of physical effort on police officers' perception and aggression in simulated shooting incidents

Abstract

In the present experiment the effects of physical effort on police officers' aggression and perception in simulates shooting incidents were investigated. Based upon Kahneman's (1973) variable-allocation capacity model it was hypothesized that physical effort will result in a decease in aggression towards aggressive offenders. Based upon Kahneman's model and Easterbrook's (1959) Cue-Utilization-Hypothesis it was further expected that this decrease in aggression will be caused by an incorrect judgement of the aggression of aggressive offenders (and not by an impaired perception). The findings confirmed these hypotheses.     

追寻理性的罪刑模式:把比例原则植入刑法理论

在以保障公民基本权利为主旨的法治国家的实现中,比例原则以其具体性、规范性和目的性在限制刑事权力上有着重要担当:能够弥补刑法的基本原则无法防止立法泛滥及刑法的谦抑性所不具有的硬约束力之缺陷.也因此,刑法学有必要引入比例原则分析范式,并以其三项子原则——妥当性原则、必要性原则和禁止过度原则的建构为突破口,追寻一种理性的罪刑规范,并形成如下学术路向:把比例原则作为罪刑关系配置的基本原则,刑事立法应该考虑刑法上的可罚的违法性,在刑法解释中强化合目的之法律解释方法.

数学教育多学科融合的思考——陈建功教育思想对当代数学教育的启迪

如今大学数学教育分科教学和脱离实际的现状在一定程度上是学生丧失学习兴趣、学习效率低下、分析问题与解决问题能力较差的原因。本文受陈建功先生的教育思想的启迪,分析了高等院校数学教育的原则和目的,我们认为现在的教育模式在一定程度上违背了数学教育的原则,削弱了数学的工具作用。虽然综合数学的教学模式相对分科教学具有很大的优势,然而由于现在对综合数学教育模式缺乏系统的教育体系和切实可行的教育手段,当前在高等院校实行综合数学的教学模式有一定的困难。本文提出了在教学中"渐进融合各科数学知识"的教学形式:在不改变当前教学模式的前提下,随着学生对各门数学知识的学习,任课教师应该有目的的加强所授课程与学生已学课程之间的联系,有目的的在内容上突出数学的整体性和实践性,并指出了在教学中要做到"融合各科数学知识"需要注意的事项。这种教学形式不仅可以降低分科教学的不利影响,而且可以突出综合性教学对学生学习数学的积极作用。
