Sistemi di inquadramento, retribuzione c.d. skill-based e contrattazione collettiva
Full text linkL’elaborato affronta il tema della valorizzazione economica delle competenze trasversali dei lavoratori, centrale entro il fenomeno della grande trasformazione del lavoro. Gli incessanti mutamenti nei modi di produrre hanno infatti spinto le aziende a orientare la gestione delle risorse umane verso taluni tratti distintivi della professionalità, quali, a titolo di esempio, l’adattabilità, l’orientamento al risultato e la capacità di lavorare in gruppo. Il presente elaborato mira dunque ad indagare come e perché la contrattazione collettiva, in una economia di mercato coordinata quale quella Italiana, è intervenuta, oppure è mancata di intervenire, nella regolazione di questo profilo della corrispettività del rapporto di lavoro. A tal fine, l’indagine prende in esame i sistemi di classificazione e inquadramento di 50 settori dell’economia privata, nonché un insieme di contratti aziendali che hanno disciplinato sistemi retributivi c.d. skill-based. L’analisi è inoltre arricchita da un totale di 44 interviste, semi-strutturate, principalmente rivolte a rappresentanti delle parti sociali. I risultati della ricerca mostrano che è al più nei settori a più alta intensità di capitale, ovvero in quelli ove i processi di innovazione tecnologica e di automazione della produzione hanno inciso maggiormente sulla conformazione occupazionale e produttiva, che sono stati pattuiti meccanismi di valorizzazione economica delle competenze, tanto nei sistemi di classificazione del personale, tanto nell’ambito della contrattazione aziendale. Diversamente, nei settori ad alta intensità di manodopera, nonostante gli impegni programmatici per una riforma della struttura salariale e inquadramentale, continua a perpetuarsi una cesura tra livelli retributivi e professionalità espressa in termini di competenze trasversali, a fronte del compromesso tra l’esigenza datoriale di mantenimento del controllo sul costo del lavoro, da un lato, e la diffidenza sindacale verso l’apertura a quote salariali variabili e permeabili a dinamiche valutative delle competenze del singolo lavoratore, dall’altro.The research deals with an issue of outstanding significance within the framework of the so-called new “Great transformation of work”: the economic valorisation of workers’ soft skills. The incessant changes in production methods and technologies, indeed, have prompted companies to orient the management of human resources towards the valorisation of certain distinctive features of professionalism: among others, adaptability, outcome orientation, and team working. The present research aims to investigate how and why collective bargaining, in a coordinated market economy like Italy, did contribute or did not contribute to the regulation of this increasingly relevant aspect in the employment relationship. To this end, the survey examines the job classification systems of 50 economic sectors, as well as a set of company-level collective agreements that regulate so-called skill-based pay schemes. The analysis is also enriched by a total of 44 semi-structured interviews, mainly addressed to social partners’ representatives. The research results show that it is mostly in the capital intensive sectors, or in those where the processes of technological innovation and automation have more considerably impacted on employment and production conformation, that mechanisms for the economic valorisation of soft skills have been agreed, in the form of both job classification systems at the national level, and variable pay schemes at company level. In contrast, in the labor intensive sectors, despite the programmatic commitment of social partners to reform the wage and classification structure, there exists a mismatch between wage levels and professionalism expressed in terms of soft skills. This situation is because of the long-standing compromise between the employers’ need to maintain the control over the cost of labour, and the trade unions’ preference for fixed wage increases, which are not permeable to variable indicators, such as individual skills’ appraisal dynamics
La valorizzazione economica della professionalità nella contrattazione aziendale
No full textObiettivo di questa ricerca è analizzare alcune sperimentazioni aziendali in materia di retribuzione legata alla professionalità, qui intesa in termini di competenze trasversali e comportamentali richieste ed espresse nell’esecuzione della prestazione lavorativa. L’analisi è svolta su tre aziende multinazionali basate in Italia che operano nell’industria metalmeccanica: Tesmec, TenarisDalmine e Manfrotto. L’articolo mostra come e perché il sindacato e la contrattazione decentrata, incidendo sulla definizione dell’impianto e delle procedure valutative delle performance professionali, e sui meccanismi di collegamento tra professionalità e retribuzione, contribuiscano ad assicurare la qualità regolativa dei predetti sistemi retributivi.The aim of the research is to analyse some company skill-based pay systems, i.e. pay rises linked to behavioural and “soft skills” required and expressed in the job performance. The AA. focus on the following Italian-based metal-engineering MNEs: Tesmec, TenarisDalmine, and Manfrotto. The paper shows how and why trade unions and company-level collective bargaining contribute to enhance the regulatory quality of skill-based pay plans, by setting-up and implementing the procedures to assess workers’ skills and to link them to pay raises
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
