Humor in middle management: women negotiating the paradoxes of organizational life

Women in middle management continue to face multiple paradoxes arising from their structural and gendered locations that add to the uncertainty of negotiating organizational life. Investigating the lived experiences of women middle managers can illuminate the constraints and paradoxes endemic to organizing, for such experiences foreground tensions at the intersection of structure, identity, agency, and power. Specifically, this contextual investigation of conversational humor explores links between organizational status, gender, and paradox. In so doing, it demonstrates how women can use humor to negotiate managerial identities and to navigate organizational life. This study uncovers nuanced and important communication tactics of middle management women. This study also reveals the value of investigating the complex convergence of humor, gender, and organizational communication theory.

Interethnic relations at work: Examining ethnic minority and majority members’ experiences in The Netherlands

Using qualitative methods, this study explored ethnic minority and majority members’ perceptions of the interethnic relations in their work unit. A total of 219 ethnic minority and majority employees and managers were interviewed, divided over 15 Dutch organizations. It was found that interethnic relations were less harmonious when ethnic differences were perceived to affect people's sense of achievement (e.g., work goals), their sense of belonging (e.g., unity of the group), and their sense of equality (e.g., procedural justice). Such problems were reported more often when ethnic differences were associated with other types of diversity, such as information diversity and value diversity. Less harmonious interethnic relations were reported by ethnic majority group members and in low-skill settings where actual ethnic differences were large. The findings suggest that ethnic differences per se do not necessarily affect interethnic relations in a work setting, but do so only when they are meaningful to individuals or within a particular context.     

我国行政组织的变革与创新——基于知识管理理论的视角

作为一种行之有效的管理工具,知识管理在全球化和信息技术急速发展的前提下应运而生,作为一种理论,知识管理理论也为进行深入全面的行政组织变革和创新提供了新的有效的思路。基于知识管理理论视角,我国行政组织在学习能力、人力资源管理、知识管理体系、信息化水平等方面存在一定的问题,传统行政文化、科层制弊端、资金投入不足及失衡、公务员整体素质等的影响和制约构成了问题产生的原因,因此,建立扁平化的行政组织、创建学习型行政组织、加强我国行政组织电子政务建设、完善我国行政组织知识管理体系等即成为我国行政组织变革和创新的可行路径。     

农村非营利组织提起公益诉讼之法理分析

在农村非营利组织研究领域,绝大部分学者忽视了农村非营利组织以提起公益诉讼的形式来实现对其公共利益维护的方式、方法和制度设计的系统研究。应当逐步完善农村非营利组织参与公益诉讼相关制度,为维护农村公共利益提供可靠的法律保障。     

浙江省大学生体育社团的现状及对策研究

热处理温度对超高强度钢组织性能的影响

为了改善超高强度钢的塑韧性,实验分析了奥氏体化温度分别为840℃、880℃、920℃与等温温度分别为275℃、325℃、375℃对中碳超高强度钢组织性能的影响．结果表明,随着奥氏体化加热温度的升高,贝氏体/马氏体复相组织趋向粗大,钢的强度上升,而塑韧性下降;随着等温温度的升高,钢的抗拉强度呈平缓下降趋势,而钢的塑韧性在275～325℃等温温度范围内呈上升趋势,在325～375℃等温温度范围内呈下降趋势．在试验等温处理温度范围内,奥氏体化温度880℃×30min保温＋等温温度325℃×2min保温油冷,可获得强韧性配合良好的贝氏体/马氏体复相组织,钢的残余奥氏体的含碳量≥76．％,钢的抗拉强度Rm≥2065M Pa ,断面收缩率ψ≥255．％．     

Welcoming Spaces: Supporting Parenting Students at the Academic Library

Academic libraries serve many student constituents, but one often overlooked group is students who are parenting children. Students who, by necessity or volition, bring their children with them to the library have specific needs. Serving these students, who often have difficulty succeeding and graduating at college, should be a priority for academic libraries. Offering assistance can help this group focus on their studies, achieve their academic goals, and thus decrease universities' attrition rates. This article begins by drawing on anecdotal evidence, then reviews existing literature on parenting students. Next, it examines and analyzes policies on children in academic libraries at large American universities. Half of all academic libraries don't have clearly accessible policies, and some have policies that discourage bringing supervised children to libraries, while a few have welcoming policies and facilities. This research shows that academic libraries can still make progress to serve a key constituency. Finally, it offers solutions for how academic libraries can serve parenting students, given varying spatial and financial constraints, as well as diffusing potential concerns that might hold academic libraries back from serving this part of the academic community. This analysis could be supplemented by further inquiry and interviews with libraries on how their policies were developed and are being implemented or with parenting students on what they desire and need from the academic library.     

非传统威胁与企业危机管理

非传统威胁包括国际恐怖主义、非典型肺炎和金融风暴等企业危机的诱发因素,它具有非征兆性、不可抗力性和非普遍性,可能损坏企业形象,破坏企业生产力,降低企业利润。为了应对非传统威胁,企业应当大力加强危机管理,树立危机意识,建立预警系统,化解企业危机。
