Organizational cultures and leadership management in the mobbing prevention
No full textThis research explores the importance of the role played by organizational cultures and by leadership management in the prevention of mobbing, referring to the psychosocial reality of work organizations. Although we regard mobbing as the most destructive type of violence in the workplace, the role of leadership in these dynamics is still included in the discussion.
This study considers mobbing as the expression of distructive dynamics of relationship, starting from the inspection of interpersonal and social dynamics. Precedent surveys (Trentini G. – Bolla M.C. – Bustreo M. – Trentini A., 2005), studied the organizational circumstances in which habitual conflicts could turn into mobbing dynamics.
Mobbing involves the «state of health» aspect of both the internal environment and the leadership management. More specifically, during an escalating conflict, mobbing could develop in the presence of negative dynamics of power environment management. The effect of this situation makes the victims more socio-emotionally and psychologically vulnerable, and thus less able to cope with their daily tasks and the cooperation requirements of their job.
The role of leaders seems essential, either in the prevention/control of the phenomenon – positive leadership – or as the inciting element – negative leadership – in their inability to have a relationship with their own group
Internet Users’ Privacy Concerns And Beliefs About Government Surveillance: An Exploratory Study Of Differences Between Italy And The United States
No full textThe study examines differences in individual’s privacy concerns and beliefs about government
surveillance in Italy and the United States. By incorporating aspects of multiple cultural theories,
we argue that for both countries, the user’s decision to conduct e-commerce transactions
on the Internet is influenced by privacy concerns, perceived need for government surveillance
that would secure the Internet environment from fraud, crime and terrorism, and balancing
concerns about government intrusion. An empirical model was tested using LISREL structural
equation modeling and multigroup analysis. The results support the hypotheses with regard to
direction and relative magnitude of the relationships. Italians exhibit lower Internet privacy
concerns than individuals in the U.S., lower perceived need for government surveillance, and
higher concerns about government intrusion. The relationships among the model constructs
are also different across the two countries. Implications of the findings and directions for future
work are discussed
