Responsabilità sociale e partnership con il non profit
No full textLa riflessione teorica e i comportamenti aziendali sono caratterizzati da una evoluzione della concezione secondo cui la "prima e unica responsabilità sociale dell'impresa è quella di perseguire la massimizzazione o l'ottimizzazione del profitto o del valore aggiunto in termini economici" ad una concezione di responsabilità sociale secondo cui le finalità delle imprese consistono nel perseguiire "la massimizzazione o l'ottimizzazione delle risposte alle aattese di una molteplicità di portatori di interesse".
Il capitolo analizza in maniera completa e critica le principali teorie e le principali ricerche sulla responsabilità sociale di impresa e la loro evoluzione tra le suddette concezioni
Risultati Le evidenze principali emerse dalla ricerca
No full textNell'attuale contesto sociale e di mercato l'interesse della collettività deve essere perseguito, oltre che dalle istituzioni pubbliche e dal non profit anche dalle imprese. Le partenrship tra aziende non profit e for profit in Italia sono una realtà in espansione, ma ancora frenate da una scarsa conoscenza e fiducia reciproca, dalla carenza di pianificazione strategica e dalle limitate competenze manageriali. A tal proposito la ricerca alla base di questo capitolo indaga i motivi che portano alla partnership, i punti di forza e di debolezza, le modalità per renderla proficua e duratura per innescare contaminazioni virtuose tra i due settori. L'obiettivo è tracciare linee guida per lo sviluppo di partenrship efficaci e soddisfacenti, ponendo l'attenzione sull'organizzazione delle strutture di supporto, sulla definizione degli obiettivi e sulla chiarezza di contratti e accordi
Pay-for-Performance and Other Practices: Alternative Paths for Human Resource Management Effectiveness in Public Social Care Organizations
Full text linkPay-for-performance has been widely adopted in the public sector to improve effectiveness and efficiency in service provision, which in turn positively affects employees’ satisfaction and commitment. Despite the presence of these initiatives in nearly every reform effort, limited concrete evidence of success has been highlighted. Through a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis on 17 social care organizations in Italy, the aim of this work is to contribute to the debate on human resources management practices in the public sector. Results suggest that pay-for-performance is effective when supported by other empowering practices. Furthermore, alternative combinations can produce the same positive effect on satisfaction and commitment
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
