No full textOrganizational Identification and Social Networks: A Complementary Role in Explaining Interpersonal Citizenship’ Attitude and Performance
No full textIn this work, we claim that additional understanding of interpersonal citizenship behaviors’ attitude and performance can be gained incorporating current insights concerning social identity theory (SIT), self-categorization theory (SCT) and network research. In particular we developed a model that considers, respectively, the influence of individuals perceived members’ prototypicality (the extent to which a member perceives himself and the others as typical member of a particular social category) and the role played by members’ relational patterns within the organization on the performance of interpersonal citizenship behaviors (ICBs). Additionally we explore the role of being the recipient of ICBs in fostering individuals’ attitude towards helping behaviors (OCBIs attitude). Using data from a 167-member world-leader chassis manufacturer for various motor-racing series, two-stage least squares (2SLS) instrumental variables regression methods were employed to test our hypotheses. Our results showed the unique role played by individual’s perceived alters protototypicality in influencing individuals’ interpersonal citizenship performance above and beyond members’ attitude and networks position. More interestingly, we found a positive relationship between being helped (that is being the recipient of cooperative behaviors) and individual’s OCBIs attitude but no relationships with their actual performance. In line with previous researches, in fact, we found a positive relationship between a member’s centrality in the affective and instrumental network and their actual cooperative behaviors but surprisingly no relationship with individuals’ attitudes towards interpersonal citizenship behavior
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
From Digital to Physical: Museums' social media presence and its impact on visitors' loyalty and intention to visit online and onsite
No full textDigitalization profoundly transformed the cultural sector offering a wide range of new opportunities that changed how cultural contents were traded, consumed, and valuated. Research on this topic began long ago, but it intensified with the increase in online museum visitors (Garcia- Madariaga et al., 2018). Many studies have focused on websites (Pallud and Straub, 2014), but thanks to the revolution brought by Web 2.0, social media are gaining more and more attention. Despite the growing interest (Blasco-Lopez et al., 2018), there still is little research considering the relationship between social media presence and initiatives, visitor loyalty, and intention to visit either museums' social media profiles or physical museums. This work advances previous studies by clarifying which features of the online visitor experience matter in directly influencing visitors' loyalty towards the museum and, in turn, the intention to revisit the social media or the museum. We tested our model on 128 respondents. The results show both the direct and indirect effects of social media in influencing the intention to visit museums both online and onsite. More importantly, the results expand our knowledge by showing the positive spillover effect of online presence on the offline visit
L’identità organizzativa di fronte al cambiamento. Il caso del Centro Studi Sereno Regis
No full textCambiamenti culturali e legislativi, cambi ai vertici e generazionali sono alcuni dei motivi per cui le organizzazioni, sia esse profit o non profit, si trovano a dover fare i conti con periodi di crisi e quindi con la necessità di trasformazioni che a volte mettono in dubbio la ragione stessa per cui l’organizzazione esiste. Questo è ancora più vero nel caso di enti non profit in cui il “fare” corrisponde spesso “all’essere” ed è strettamente legato ai valori sui cui questo tipo di organizzazione viene fondata. In questo articolo si vuole esplorare, attraverso la presentazione del caso del Centro Studi Sereno Regis ODV, la complessità e le sfide del cambiamento legate all’identità stessa delle organizzazioni per poi offrire alcuni spunti di riflessione su alcune sfide chiave per il successo di questo processo.Cultural and legislative changes, top management, and generational changes are some of the reasons why organizations, whether profit or non-profit, have to deal with periods of crisis and, therefore, with the need for transformations that sometimes question the organization's existence. This is even more true in the case of non-profit organizations where "doing" often corresponds to "being" and is closely linked to the values on which this type of organization is founded. In this article, we want to explore, through the presentation of the Centro Studi Sereno Regis ODV case, the complexity and challenges of change related to the identity of organizations and then offer some food for thought on some critical challenges for the success of this process
Change of policy for museums: is governance the answer?
No full textSince 2014, the 400 Italian State museums are experiencing a significant institutional change; once part of the Ministry of Cultural Goods and Activities and Tourism (MIBACT), they are now the organizations in charge of valorization activities. Moreover, 30 of them have been transformed into semi-autonomous organizations, that can directly manage proceedings from ticket sales, solicit private sponsorships and to develop a cultural strategy. Such a reform represents a major discontinuity over a tradition and narrative of heritage management built around preservation and exclusive involvement of public entities (state, regions, or municipalities). It has created a vivid debate on the destiny of heritage, the possibility and appropriateness of generating material and immaterial value around it, the outcomes of the effort. In this paper, we address the emerging relevance of effective governance in these organizations, by building on and extending previous literature on the role of board composition and performance, while exploring relevant contingencies that can affect such relationships. Moreover, we theoretically address issues on governance effectiveness emerging from ongoing heated public debate. Overall, our findings indicate that individual competency profiles of directors do not significantly impact the overall number of visitors. On the other hand, results indicate that diversity matters, both in terms of the interplay of director competence and board diversity and in terms of diversity within the board. Directors’ human capital is enhanced in the presence of a board with a complementary set of competencies. We suggest that the possibility for directors to effectively be agents of change (as it might be the case for directors with an international background or experience) is related to the presence of a complementary board. In very conservative organizations, this complementarity might mitigate the
2risk of conflict within the organization. From a policy point of view, it is important to address the issue of autonomy in a more comprehensive way, in order to allow a more effective valorization, while at the same time protecting the public function of the institution
L’identità organizzativa di fronte al cambiamento. Il caso del Centro Studi Sereno Regis
No full textGPA I Monti a Milano
No full textUna piccola impresa a conduzione familiare: si presenta così, agli esordi, nel 1948, lo studio GPA Monti, la cui attività ha contribuito a creare il volto della ‘Milano Moderna’, progettando case e scuole, ville e officine, interni e oggetti di design. Due fratelli – Gianemilio (1920-2002) e Piero (1922-1990), figli del pittore Cesare Monti – e Anna Bertarini (1923), figlia dell’ingegner Bertarini di Bellano, futura sposa di Gianemilio, danno vita nell’epoca della ricostruzione a un fattivo sodalizio che ha lavorato ininterrottamente sino al 2012, data del loro ultimo progetto. Due anni dopo, nel 2014, lo studio GPA Monti ha donato il proprio archivio professionale al Politecnico dove è custodito negli Archivi Storici del campus Bovisa: dopo un lungo lavoro di riordino e catalogazione, questa mostra vuole essere il primo omaggio ai rappresentanti di quel professionismo colto cui tanto deve Milano per la qualità della sua trasformazione in metropoli moderna
