Organizational and Individual Determinants of Atypical Employment: The Case of Multiple Jobholding and Self-Employment
No full textTraditionally, the company has been attributed relative control over employees' career paths, particularly in the case of very active organizational management. However, the growing need for organizational flexibility has led to the increasing recourse to atypical work, which in turn contributes to consolidating new careers in which the themes of control and autonomy acquire new meaning. Of these forms of atypical work, multiple jobholding and self-employment have particularly intrigued researchers. Using data compiled by Statistics Canada, we have sought to identify, through logistic regression analyses, the factors that influence the probability of belonging to these two categories of atypical employment. Our results suggest that the influence factors are not identical for the non-standard two job categories studied. Sector of activity, sex and the absence of promotion have a considerable impact on the probability of joining the ranks of the self-employed, whereas professional category and frequency of movement significantly influence the probability of belonging to the multiple jobholder group. Our results also show that the makeup of the populations engaging in these two forms of atypical work is not homogeneous, and that belonging to one of these groups does not necessarily entail precarious living and working conditions.
Le rôle traditionnel de la gestion de carrière attribuait à l'entreprise un certain contrôle sur le cheminement des individus, dans la mesure où la prise en charge organisationnelle était très active. Toutefois, le besoin incessant de flexibilité organisationnelle, qui mène à l'utilisation croissante du travail atypique, contribue à la consolidation des nouvelles carrières dans lesquelles les thèmes du contrôle et de l'autonomie sont questionnés. Parmi ces formes de travail atypique, le cumul d'emplois et le travail autonome/à son compte ont particulièrement retenu l'attention des chercheurs. En utilisant des données produites par Statistique Canada, nous avons cherché à identifier, par l'entremise des analyses de régression logistique, les facteurs qui influencent la probabilité de faire partie de ces deux catégories d'emploi atypique. Nos résultats suggèrent que les facteurs d'influence ne sont pas les mêmes pour les deux catégories d'emploi non standard considérées. Le secteur d'activité, le sexe et les promotions jouent davantage sur la probabilité de joindre les effectifs des autonomes/à son compte alors que la catégorie professionnelle, la fréquence du mouvement et l'absence de promotion influencent davantage la probabilité d'appartenir au groupe des cumulards. Finalement, nos résultats montrent que les effectifs de ces deux types de travail atypique ne sont pas homogènes et que l'appartenance à l'un ou l'autre de ces groupes n'implique pas exclusivement la précarité des conditions de vie et de travail.Multiple jobholding, self-employment, new career, Travail atypique, cumul d'emplois, travail autonome/à son compte, flexibilité organisationnelle
Interview with Giuliana Bruno
No full textLorenzo Marmo intervista Giuliana Bruno a proposito della sua esperienza come una delle curatrici della mostra Carta bianca. Capodimonte Imaginaire allestita presso il Museo di Capodimonte di Napoli nel 2017/18. La conversazione è anche occasione per ripercorrere le tappe del pensiero teorico di Bruno, dal suo primo libro, Rovine con vista, fino al più recente, Superfici, passando per il celebre Atlante delle emozioni. La discussione verte dunque su questioni quali la materialità dell’arte e dei media, la superficie dello schermo e la percezione aptica, l’emozione e l’affetto, l’elemento ludico presente nella ricerca e nella cartografia. Bruno anticipa anche alcune riflessioni che convergeranno in un ulteriore volume, di prossima pubblicazione, dedicato in particolare ai concetti di atmosfera e proiezione.
Giuliana Bruno è professore ordinario di Visual and Environmental Studies presso la Harvard University dal 1990. Nata a Napoli, vive a New York dal 1980. È autrice di: Streetwalking on a Ruined Map. Cultural Theory and the City Films of Elvira Notari (Rovine con vista. Alla ricerca del cinema perduto di Elvira Notari, 1993/1995), vincitore del Society for Cinema and Media Studies book award; di Atlas of Emotion: Journey in Art, Architecture and Film (Atlante delle emozioni. In viaggio tra arte, architettura e cinema, 2002/2006), vincitore del premio Kraszna-Kraus in Culture and History come Best Moving Image Book in the world; e di Public Intimacy: Architecture and the Visual Arts (Pubbliche intimità. Architettura e arti visive, 2007/2009). Nella sua ricerca esplora le intersezioni tra cinema, arti visive e architettura e si è imposta nel dibattito internazionale affermando come il modo più significativo di analizzare il cinema non debba limitarsi al linguaggio, bensì far riferimento alle categorie dell’arte e dell’architettura con la loro enfasi sullo spazio. Sua la teoria filosofica della geografia emozionale, categoria interpretativa ora diffusa in tutto il mondo grazie anche al suo Atlante delle emozioni, e che interessa molte pratiche artistiche: dalla pittura alla fotografia, dalla cartografia al design, dalla moda alla pubblicità. Il suo ultimo libro, Surface: Matters of Aesthetics, Materiality, and Media (Superfici. A proposito di estetica, materialità e media, 2014/2016), rivisita l’impatto della superficie e della materialità nell’arte contemporanea e nella cultura visuale. Bruno tiene lectures nei musei e nelle università di tutto il mondo, ed i suoi lavori sono stati tradotti in oltre dieci lingue. Recentemente è stata tra le curatrici della mostra “Carta Bianca. Capodimonte Imaginaire” presso il Museo di Capodimonte di Napoli, e nella primavera del 2019 è stata Louis Kahn Scholar in Residence in the History of Art presso l’American Academy di Roma.Lorenzo Marmo interviews Giuliana Bruno about her experience as curator of the exhibition Carta bianca. Capodimonte Imaginaire, held at the Museum of Capodimonte in Naples, Italy, in 2017/18. The conversation also touches upon the different phases of Bruno’s theoretical thinking, from her first book Streetwalking on a Ruined Map, to the last, Surfaces, also including her famous Atlas of Emotion. Among the issues tackled in the discussion: the materiality in art and media; the surface of the screen and haptic perception; emotion and affect; the element of play present in scholarly research as well as in cartography. Bruno also shares some reflections to be included in another, forthcoming volume, concerning more specifically the concepts of atmosphere and projection.
Giuliana Bruno is full professor in Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University since 1990. Born in Naples, she has lived in New York since 1980. She is author of: Streetwalking on a Ruined Map. Cultural Theory and the City Films of Elvira Notari (Rovine con vista. Alla ricerca del cinema perduto di Elvira Notari, 1993/1995), winner of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies book award; Atlas of Emotion: Journey in Art, Architecture and Film (Atlante delle emozioni. In viaggio tra arte, architettura e cinema, 2002/2006), winner of the Kraszna-Kraus award in Culture and History as Best Moving Image Book in the world; Public Intimacy: Architecture and the Visual Arts (Pubbliche intimità. Architettura e arti visive, 2007/2009). She is internationally known for her research on the intersections of the visual arts, architecture, film, and media. In her view, the most significant way of analyzing film is not limited to language but refers to the categories of visual arts and architecture, with their emphasis on the space. Her philosophical theory on emotional geography, known all over the world also thanks to her Atlas of Emotion, concerns many artistic practices: from painting to photography, from cartography to design, from fashion to marketing. Her last book, Surface: Matters of Aesthetics, Materiality, and Media (Superfici. A proposito di estetica, materialità e media, 2014/2016), revisits the impact of surface and materiality on contemporary art and visual culture. Bruno holds lectures in museums and universities around the world, and her works have been translated into over ten languages. Recently she was one of the curators of the exhibition “Carta Bianca. Capodimonte Imaginaire” at the Capodimonte Museum in Naples, and in the spring of 2019, she was Louis Kahn Scholar in Residence in History of Art at the American Academy in Rome

The Role of Organizational Justice in Pay and Employee Benefit Satisfaction, and Its Effects on Work Attitudes
No full textThe objective of our study is to provide a complementary approach with regard to organizational justice in the domain of compensation. It presents research undertaken on a sample of six hundred employees in three different Canadian organizations. The results reveal that employees distinguish clearly between pay satisfaction and benefit satisfaction, and that distributive justice perceptions are better predictors of pay satisfaction than procedural justice perceptions. This result is reversed for employee benefit satisfaction: procedural justice perceptions are better predictors than distributive justice perceptions. Lastly, the results show that distributive justice perceptions with regard to pay play a more important role than procedural justice in job satisfaction and satisfaction with the organization.
Cet article a pour but d'apporter un éclairage complémentaire en ce qui concerne la justice organisationnelle dans le domaine de la rémunération. On y fait état de recherches réalisées auprès de six cents salariés appartenant à trois organisations canadiennes différentes. Les résultats révèlent que les salariés dissocient bien la satisfaction à l'égard du salaire, de la satisfaction à l'égard des avantages sociaux. Ils montrent également que les perceptions de justice distributives permettent de mieux prédire la satisfaction à l'égard du salaire que les perceptions de justice procédurales. Le résultat est inverse en ce qui concerne la satisfaction à l'égard des avantages sociaux : les perceptions de justice procédurales sont de meilleurs prédicteurs que les perceptions de justice distributives. Ils montrent enfin que la perception de justice distributive concernant les salaires joue un rôle plus important que la justice procédurale dans la satisfaction à l'égard du travail et à l'égard de l'entreprise.Organizational justice, pay and benefit satisfaction, work attitudes, Justice organisationnelle, satisfaction du salaire, satisfaction des avantages sociaux, attitudes au travail
The rise of securities markets : what can government do?
No full textUsing U.S. securities markets as a case history, the author explores the role securities markets play in economic development, how they emerge, and how regulation can make them more effective. Why the United States? Two centuries ago, it was a small undeveloped country with serious financial problems. It confronted those problems and, guided by Alexander Hamilton, creatively reformed its financial system, which then became a foundation of the U.S. economic infrastructure and a bulwark for long-term growth. When Hamilton's program established public credit and securitiesmarkets in the 1790s, U.S. citizens were immediately able to borrow from older, richer countries. U.S. wealth then increased until, by the end of the nineteenth century, U.S. residents began to lend and invest more abroad than they borrowed. During the 1820s and 1830s, the United States (usually state governments) borrowed large sums from foreign investors to build roads, canals, and early railroads, to make other transportation improvements, and to capitalize state banks. From the 1830s to the end of the century, still larger sums from overseas went into private U.S. railway companies that provided cheap transcontinental transportation. Most of this borrowing took the form of state and corporate bond sales to overseas investors. The pristine U.S. government credit established by Hamilton thus rubbed off on U.S. state and corporate debt. The British stock market did better than the U.S. market until the United States adopted security-market regulation (including disclosuire rules) under the SEC. Then the U.S. market became a world leader. The U.S. stock market developed more slowly than the bond market, but it both aided and benefited from foreign investment in U.S. bonds. Foreign investors preferred debt securities to equities, yet equities create a safety margin for bondholders who, because of this margin, are more willing to purchase and hold bonds. Foreign investors preferred bonds; U.S. investors, after exporting bonds, held more stocks than bonds at home. Why? Because good stock markets permit the conversion of equity securities into cash.Environmental Economics&Policies,Payment Systems&Infrastructure,Financial Intermediation,International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Economic Theory&Research,Housing Finance,Insurance&Risk Mitigation,Financial Intermediation,Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Theory&Research
Altari a gradini nell'Iran antico
No full textFollowing a long article of 1982 on the typology of the fireplaces, the author, here, in a volume dedicated to the memory of Prof. Giuseppe Tucci, entitled Orientalia Iosephi Tucci Memoriae Dicata, is dealing with the topic which ultimately was one of the aim of that previous article: the origin of the fire altar. Starting from the mud types of the stepped fireplaces in Dahan-i Ghulaman, in a private context, crossing the big one uncovered a Tepe Nush-i Jan in a Median context, the author led one to hypothesize the construction of a fire altar as a the monumentalization of a fireplace with the addition of a ancient ritual element of the ancient Near East, the steps
