Communicating About Chronic Caregiving in the Workplace: Employees’ Disclosure Preferences,Intentions, and Behaviors

A growing number of Americans are living with chronic health conditions that require informal, ongoing care from family members who are also in the paid labor force. In this exploratory study, communication privacy management is used to make sense of chronic caregiving (N = 48–64) and noncaregiving (N = 174–178) employees’ disclosure preferences, intentions, and behaviors in the workplace. We find that workers in general anticipate that they would disclose to many individuals at work about their caregiving, but employees actually disclose much less information to far fewer people at work when they occupy the chronic caregiver role. For chronic caregivers, positive perceptions about coworker supportiveness predict increased disclosure behaviors. Finally, future research directions as employers, workers, and policy makers prepare for the complex challenges associated with negotiating paid work and unpaid chronic caregiving are provided.     

Communication Efficacy and Couples' Cancer Management: Applying a Dyadic Appraisal Model

The purpose of the present study was to apply Berg and Upchurch's (2007) developmental-conceptual model to understand better how couples cope with cancer. Specifically, we hypothesized a dyadic appraisal model in which proximal factors (relational quality), dyadic appraisal (prognosis uncertainty), and dyadic coping (communication efficacy) predicted adjustment (cancer management). The study was cross-sectional and included 83 dyads in which one partner had been diagnosed with and/or treated for cancer. For both patients and partners, multilevel analyses using the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) indicated that proximal contextual factors predicted dyadic appraisal and dyadic coping. Dyadic appraisal predicted dyadic coping, which then predicted dyadic adjustment. Patients' confidence in their ability to talk about the cancer predicted their own cancer management. Partners' confidence predicted their own and the patient's ability to cope with cancer, which then predicted patients' perceptions of their general health. Implications and future research are discussed.     

综合档案馆档案开放鉴定研究:程序制度的构建

档案开放是综合档案馆必须履行的义务,优化完善开放鉴定程序是我国档案开放面临的现实要求。文章采用文本分析法和问卷调查法,对我国档案开放鉴定程序的法定依据和现行执行方式进行了调查和归纳梳理,发现目前档案开放鉴定的问题主要表现在解密与划控程序关系不清、“三审”框架下职责分配不清、主体协作机制有待完善三个方面,并以档案开放义务和档案不开放权利分析为核心,提出了一个档案开放鉴定的程序框架,并对其中的职责关系和协作机制进行了讨论,最终认为档案馆应在开放鉴定中更多地承担仲裁者角色。     

组织学习与绩效的关系:基于动态能力的中介效应

基于资源基础观构建一个反映组织学习、动态能力以及绩效关系的理论模型。以我国广东珠三角地区317家企业为调查对象,采用结构方程模型方法进行实证检验。结果发现：企业的组织学习对组织绩效没有显著的直接影响,但是组织学习可以通过动态能力对组织绩效产生显著的影响。该研究结果可为中国企业如何运用组织学习以增强动态能力和最终改善绩效提供有益的借鉴。     

Connection,Restructuring, and Buffering: How Groups Link Individuals and Organizations

Research examining the individual–organization relationship has largely ignored the linking role of groups. Grounded in Scott, Corman, and Cheney's (1998) structurational model of organizational identification, we analyzed data obtained from members of groups embedded in a large religious organization. Results revealed three primary ways groups link individual members and the organization via identification. The connection function provides members with local copresent linkages to the organization and an environment in which to express their connection/relationship to the organization. The restructuring function enables members to restructure conflicting individual and organizational identity structures. The buffering function enables members to disidentify with a portion of the organizational identity and still maintain a sense of organizational identification.     

Public speaking procrastination as a correlate of public speaking communication apprehension and self‐perceived public speaking competence

In the present study, the relationship between public speaking procrastination and communication apprehension, and the relationship between public speaking procrastination and self‐perceived public speaking competence were investigated. A significant, positive correlation was found between public speaking procrastination and communication apprehension. A significant, negative correlation was found between public speaking procrastination and self‐perceived public speaking competence. The implications of public speaking procrastination for students and their instructors are discussed along with “anti‐procrastination “ pedagogical strategies.     

“You can't tell anyone but …”: Exploring the Use of Privacy Rules and Revealing Behaviors

This three-part study examines how privacy rules function to protect shared information from further revelation. Communication Privacy Management served as a theoretical framework to investigate issues related to boundary management. In the pilot study, college students (N = 409) described privacy rules and their use, and participants reported not further revealing the information when privacy rules were expressed by disclosers. In Study 1, participants (N = 167) reported on disclosing health-related information, and participants did not anticipate that recipients would further reveal especially when they used a privacy rule. In Study 2, dyads (dyad N = 257) reported on shared disclosure experiences, including both anticipated and actual boundary management. Study 2 findings include that privacy rules have limited effectiveness. The article discusses implications of privacy rule use when sharing private information.     

基于组织合法性与社会化行为的文件形成机制研究

组织文件在传统认知中被视为组织事务的客观记录,而近年来的研究却表明其形成涉及诸多社会因素,其本质是社会建构的产物。本文提出一个宏观与微观相结合的解释框架,对具有社会建构性本质的组织文件形成机制进行综合解释,宏观解释层次基于组织合法性视角,微观解释层次基于组织成员的社会化文件形成行为。宏观层次的解释路径包括组织文件是组织合法性的承载物、象征物与建构性资源。微观层次的解释路径则指出组织成员的社会化行为包含两个层次：一个层次是组织成员通过惩罚、模仿和规范学习机制对于社会化文件形成行为的习得过程;另一个层次是组织成员在文件形成过程中采取的迎合、回避、选择等具体策略。

日本信息公开制度和电子政务

信息公开制度基于其国情的发展,文章阐明了日本信息公开制度的历史背景和概貌,主要描述了日本信息公开制度的整体框架及信息公开的流程;信息公开制度是政府“e-Japan战略”的重要体现,其施行的主要手段为电子政务（e--Gov）,即日本政务信息公开窗口,将给出现行日本e--Gov的整体架构、可检索和利用的公开信息;当前,日本国家信息战略正从“e-Japan战略”（2001-2005年）向“u-Japan”（2005-2010年。ubiquitous：泛在、无所不在）转型,给出相关问题的展望;最后,对中国应如何借鉴日本的经验,给出简短的分析与讨论。     

组织学习研究的本体论进路：进展及贡献

本体论进路是以基于本体论思维或由本体论衍生的一些理论为研究对象,进行剖析的研究脉络、研究方法或研究范式的统一。已有学者以本体论思想为本源,基于不同领域的具体理论,对组织学习开展了不同层面的研究。本体论进路常结合复杂系统理论、中国哲学中阴阳等相关理论,以＂类比—关联—融合＂的结构和程序深度分析组织及组织学习,从而使个人学习理论和组织学习理论更紧密连接,弥补现有理论的不足,为组织学习研究提供了新的理论基础,并取得了一些进展。
