Person-Organisation Fit and its Impact on Organisational Citizenship Behaviour as Related to Social Performance

Person-Organisation Fit (POF) is a well known concept; it has been revealed as a factor that influences employee behaviour in many aspects such as commitment, identification, intention to leave, corporate brand perception level, etc. This study deals with the impact POF on another element of employee behaviour – Organisational Citizenship Behaviour-i.e. employees' willingness to perform extra tasks and to carry out activities that are not part of their job, without expecting any formal or informal compensation. Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) is a relatively new concept of interest for scholars, leading to a plethora of publications over the past decade. Many academics have studied the impact of OCB impact on organisational effectiveness and have found a strong positive correlation between the two. This research examined this concept in terms of an organisation's social performance, as perceived by its employees. The study found that OCB is positively related to POF, so that the higher the POF the higher the OCB. The researchers also examined the correlations between POF and Organisational Identification (OI) levels and found a positive correlation between them too. The researchers further examined the employees' Perception of Social Performance (PSP) by an organisation, as a moderating variable between POF and OCB and between OI and OCB, but have found no correlation between them. Thus, POF was found to be a meaningful factor with a strong impact on many variables of organisational behaviour. Following this research, OCB has become a ‘legitimate member' of this group of variables. But Social Performance Perception was not defined as a factor that plays a significant role in this relationship.

Mimetic adoption and norm diffusion: ‘Western’ security cooperation in Southeast Asia?

AbstractThe members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have been pursuing new cooperative security agendas – namely, confidence-building measures (CBMs), preventive diplomacy (PD), conflict resolution and a set of agendas associated with security communities. The ASEAN members' pursuit of these agendas should be seen as a set of instances of their mimetic adoption of external norms for the sake of legitimacy. They have mimetically been adopting a set of norms associated with the collective management of conflicts, which have been practiced by the participant states of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). They have been doing so, with the intention of securing their identities as legitimate members of the community of modern states, and of enhancing the status of ASEAN and the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) as legitimate cooperative security institutions.

“Our Club”: Place-Work and the Negotiation of Collective Belongingness

This research examines the process by which vying social groups negotiate collective belongingness within contested space. At an American Legion veterans’ post, two factions—the Skeet Club and the New Regime—developed strong emotional attachments to the location. The Skeet Club consisted of ineligible townspeople who had illegally gained access to the post through the help of several legitimate members. For Skeet Club members, the post was a beloved social club where strong social bonds had developed over the course of many years. For the New Regime, the post was first and foremost a shrine to honor and assist military veterans. These divergent interpretations resulted in a process the author calls place-work, whereby members of the two factions struggled to establish a definition of the location that would allow their respective groups to feel that “we belong.” The four place-work strategies observed include (1) the presentation of group value, (2) deference to organizational culture, (3) spatial control, and (4) out-group intimidation. Through these strategies, “collective belongingness” was constructed, presented, and maintained as a resource in intergroup conflict. This study builds on the literatures regarding place, emotion, and intergroup conflict.

Another Security Weakness in an Authenticated Group Key Agreement

Recently, Hwang et al. [1] showed that the authenticated group key agreement protocol proposed by Dutta and Barua [2] suffers from an impersonation attack and proposed an improvement to fix the problem. The goal of this paper is to prove that both the scheme of [2] and its improved version have another security weakness. In [2], it is claimed that the protocol has the ability to detect the presence of a corrupted group member so that if an invalid message is sent, then this can be detected by all legitimate members of the group. In this paper, we show that this claim is not true even in the improved version. We prove that two malicious participants can prohibit legitimate participants from obtaining the same shared key and remain completely unnoticed.

Scalable Rekeying limited to Subgroup using Hybrid Key Trees

Maintaining security is a critical issue in any group communication protocols. The objective of security in a group communication is to ensure the access only to the legitimate members of the multicast group. The entry and eviction of the members are the main criteria to change the group key and to give them more assurance of a secret communication, which is known as re-keying. Since it is a frequently performed activity during a communication, the group key updating need to be done in a scalable and efficient manner. Earlier, client–server paradigm is the most predominantly used technique for applications like conferencing, chat groups, interactive video gaming, etc which use the concept of unicast for the transmission of data. Present day advancements in the Internet technologies, especially the increase of bandwidth are definitely encouraging environment for new developments. Unlike the old communication models, where the delivery of the packets are to be carried out in an unicast model, multicasting technique provides an efficient delivery service to larger user-community with effective and efficient network resource utilization. In the earlier schemes proposed for rekeying mechanism like LKH [4], FDLKH [7], DLPKH [9], the entire group will be disturbed with change in the membership. This paper proposes two new ideas: one with an objective of efficient re-keying and the other with an objective of disturbing only a subset of the group. Both the ideas don’t need the secure channel for the distribution of the key material like [4],[7] and also does not reveal the private keys like [9]. The number of keys maintained at each member in this scheme, number of messages sent, size of the messages and number of encryption and decryptions are always constant unlike the other schemes which typically depends on the height of the tree.

The Work of Art and Truth of Being as “Historical”

The aim of this essay twofold. First, it attempts to elucidate the manner in which for Heidegger the work of art functions as a superlative event of truth-happening (aletheia), which facilitates the movement of Dasein into the truth of Being as a legitimate member of a community, serving as the origin of culture's appropriation of its own unique historical destiny. Second, it explains why this notion of art as the historical manifestation of Being crucial to understanding the shift, or (Kehre) in Heidegger's philosophy of the 1930s and 1940s, i.e., it examines the philosophical problems Heidegger rectified when moving from Being and Time, and the conceptual-linguistic constraints of metaphysics and the subject-centered model of Dasein, to the later works on art and poetry. analysis of the work of art and the Holderlin lectures focuses on writings that Heidegger produced during the 1930s, a period known as the turn. Thus, a brief explanation of this in Heidegger's thought will enhance the reader's understanding of the importance this had on Heidegger's philosophy during this historical moment. In Heidegger scholarship the refers to a specific historical period marking an event in the development of Heidegger's thought. As James Risser states, [The turn] designates a period in his life that begins immediately after the publication of Being and Time in 1927 and can be said to end with the work on Nietzsche that consumes Heidegger around the outbreak of World War U.1 To refer to the turn as an event, or drastic change in Heidegger's philosophy of the 1930s, not only suggests that there a change in the way Heidegger approaches, formulates, and presents his thought, but further suggests that there a drastic shift in focus during this time, which amounts to the radical change in his fundamental philosophical topic. Thus conceived, the turn represents Heidegger's leap from Man to Being, a move from seeking the meaning of Being by way of the human Dasein to the search for the truth of Being given Dasein's exclusion. suggests that Heidegger during the 1930s, with the exclusion of Dasein, embarks (for the first time) on a full-blown ontological enquiry into Being as such. not the case, however, as evident from Heidegger's remarks in the essay, Letter on Humanism ( 1 947). When reflecting on the turning in his philosophy from Being and Time to Time and Being, he claims that the central topic and subject-matter of his enquiry from Being and Time does not change. This turning not a change of standpoint from Being and Time, but in it the thinking that was sought first arrives at the location of that dimension out of which Being and Time examined, that to say, experienced from the fundamental experience of the oblivion of Being.2 Heidegger's philosophy from Being and Time onwards, in other words, marked by a reorientation to the problem of how the Being-event occurs, which includes the consideration of a variety of new and unique paradigms. This reorientation, states Thomas Sheehan, is not due to Heidegger alteration, much less abandoning or surrendering the philosophical task he set forth in Being and Time.3 Rather, he expanding the question of Being through a renewed approach and presentation of the fundamental topic. There are several significant aspects of the and the renewed approach to his project which will be detailed in this essay. First, Heidegger comes to realize that the event of Being cannot be adequately understood from the limited, individuated perspective of Dasein (as solus ipse [alone itself]), and he identifies the problem that his model of Dasein in Being and Time poses of the transcendental-temporal locus for understanding the meaning of Being. For it indeed possible to associate Heidegger's model with the subject-centered understanding of the human being found in both Kant's transcendental thought and the traditional metaphysics of Descartes, i. …

Towards an Animal-Friendly Family Law

Companion animals have assumed a pivotal role as legitimate members of the family in contemporary Western liberal societies, including Australia. However, the legal position of Australian family pets following family breakdown has largely gone unexamined. Even though their welfare is promoted by animal protection laws, Australian family courts do not currently need to explicitly consider the welfare of companion animals when deciding their post-separation placement or ownership. Drawing upon the emergent field of animal law, as well as developments in North American family law, this article argues that Australian family law should not simply regard companion animals as equivalent to any other piece of personal property requiring distribution between the parties upon separation or divorce. In particular, this article proposes that specific provisions should be inserted into the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth), distinct from existing provisions relating to the property and human children of the parties, stipulating that family courts explicitly consider the welfare of family pets in allocating them to the parties. Ultimately, the effect of treating family pets differently from personal property would be to acknowledge that companion animals are not merely chattels but, as living beings that are dependent on their human owners for their future welfare, are instead very similar to human children and therefore also require special legal protection and attention in family law proceedings.

Communicating Trust, Community, and Process in Public Meetings: A Reflection on How Close Attention to Communication Can Contribute to the Future of Public Participation

This concluding essay reflects on how the essays included in this special issue can help address some prevailing issues in public participation scholarship. We see three themes running through the contributions to this special issue that are particularly important for public participation scholars and practitioners to consider. These issues are: citizens’ distrust of public officials, concerns about who counts as a legitimate member of the community, and challenges related to the framing the process and goals of the meeting. In this concluding essay we summarize and reflect on the insights provided by the special issue contributions. We also look ahead to assess how these contributions can inform future public participation research and practice by illuminating the importance of communication practices and public meeting formats.

Pedagogical Considerations in Developing an Online Tutorial in Information Literacy.

The article discusses the pedagogical background on which the design of the online tutorial Søk & Skriv ('Search and Write') is based. The tutorial Søk & Skriv is specially designed for distance learning students, but can also be used by students on campus. Søk & Skriv aims at increasing students' information and digital literacy with the ultimate goal of empowering them to gradually become legitimate members of the academic community, as well as lifelong learners. Further, the tutorial sets out to make a contribution to the pedagogical development of user education at the academic library. The article shows how a general didactical model, namely the didactical relationship model (Hiim & Hippe, 1998), has been applied to enrich information literacy education practice, and in this case specifically, to enrich the design of online education.

Developing the role of pharmacists as members of community mental health teams: Perspectives of pharmacists and mental health professionals

Background People living with bipolar mood disorder and psychotic illnesses in Australia primarily access public-sector mental health care through community mental health teams (CMHTs). Adverse drug events are common among clients of CMHTs taking psychotropic medications. Objective The study aimed to investigate and describe a potential role for pharmacists as members of CMHTs. Methods Five study pharmacists were employed 1 day per week to work with 5 mental health teams over a 24-week period. The pharmacists conducted both client and team specific activities designed to optimize the use of medications. The pharmacists recorded their professional activities in diaries. Audiotaped focus groups were conducted with the pharmacists (n = 1) and mental health team staff (n = 3) at the conclusion of the study. Pharmacists' diaries and the transcripts of focus groups were thematically content analyzed. Results Study pharmacists were perceived as valuable sources of unbiased and evidence-based drug information for both mental health team staff and their clients and caregivers. Mental health team staff particularly appreciated the provision of information about nonpsychotropic medications. Pharmacists' participation in clinical team meetings was used as an opportunity to present medication review findings and recommendations. Liaising between medication prescribers and dispensers working in primary and secondary care settings was deemed an important additional role; however, participating only 1 day per week was considered to delay rapport building and the establishment of collaborative working relationships with mental health team staff. Conclusions Including pharmacists as members of CMHTs addressed an unmet need for pharmaceutical services among clients and staff of CMHTs. Pharmacists' contributions were welcomed by mental health team staff. The study raised the issue of whether pharmacists should be considered as essential and legitimate members of interdisciplinary CMHTs.

In-Set/Out-of-Set Speaker Recognition Under Sparse Enrollment

In this paper, the problem of identifying in-set versus out-of-set speakers using extremely limited enrollment data is addressed. The recognition objective is to form a binary decision regarding an input speaker as being a legitimate member of a set of enrolled speakers or not. Here, the emphasis is on low enrollment (about 5 sec of speech for each enrolled speaker) and test data durations (2-8 sec), in a text-independent scenario. In order to overcome the limited enrollment, data from speakers that are acoustically close to a given in-set speaker are used to form an informative prior (base model) for speaker adaptation. Score normalization for in-set systems is addressed, and the difficulty of using conventional score normalization schemes for in-set speaker recognition is highlighted. Distribution scaling based score normalization techniques are developed specifically for the in-set/out-of-set problem and compared against existing score normalization schemes used in open-set speaker recognition. Experiments are performed using the following three separate corpora: (1) noise-free TIMIT; (2) noisy in-vehicle CU-move; and (3) the NIST-SRE-2006 database. Experimental results show a consistent increase in system performance for the proposed techniques.

Discriminative In-Set/Out-of-Set Speaker Recognition

In this paper, the problem of identifying in-set versus out-of-set speakers for limited training/test data durations is addressed. The recognition objective is to form a decision regarding an input speaker as being a legitimate member of a set of enrolled speakers or outside speakers. The general goal is to perform rapid speaker model construction from limited enrollment and test size resources for in-set testing for input audio streams. In-set detection can help ensure security and proper access to private information, as well as detecting and tracking input speakers. Areas of applications of these concepts include rapid speaker tagging and tracking for information retrieval, communication networks, personal device assistants, and location access. We propose an integrated system with emphasis on short-enrollment data (about 5 s of speech for each enrolled speaker) and test data (2-8 s) within a text-independent mode. We present a simple and yet powerful decision rule to accept or reject speakers using a discriminative vector in the decision score space, together with statistical hypothesis testing based on the conventional likelihood ratio test. Discriminative training is introduced to further improve system performance for both decision techniques, by employing minimum classification error and minimum verification error frameworks. Experiments are performed using three separate corpora. Using the YOHO speaker recognition database, the alternative decision rule achieves measurable improvement over the likelihood ratio test, and discriminative training consistently enhances overall system performance with relative improvements ranging from 11.26%-28.68%. A further extended evaluation using the TIMIT (CORPUS1) and actual noisy aircraft communications data (CORPUS2) shows measurable improvement over the traditional MAP based scheme using the likelihood ratio test (MAP-LRT), with average EERs of 9%-23% for TIMIT and 13%-32% for noisy aircraft communications. The results confirm that an effective in-set/out-of-set speaker recognition system can be formulated using discriminative training for rapid tagging of input speakers from limited training and test data sizes

WILHELM DILTHEY ON THE OBJECTIVITY OF KNOWLEDGE IN HUMAN SCIENCES

1. Introduction As a philosopher of science, Wilhelm Dilthey (1833-1911) focused on human sciences or Geisteswissenschaften, a term that had gained currency in German culture. These sciences underwent a so-called crisis of foundations (Grundlagenkrise) (Lessing 1984:132-136) during Dilthey's formative years in second half of nineteenth century. In Germany, human sciences had evolved into sciences mainly within framework of concept of scientificalness (Wissenschaftlichkeit) of German Idealism. However, during first half of nineteenth century human sciences had developed into empirical research sciences, which made it impossible for them to understand their own nature by means of concept of scientificalness that had formed basis for their development into academic disciplines (Schnadelbach 1991:108-117). On other hand, a sound methodological research apparatus had been elaborated over years within various human science disciplines, to which they could resort in their ambitions to offer genuinely scientific knowledge of areas that until then had been studied basically from metaphysical point of view of German Idealism. In these circumstances, Dilthey saw a new role for philosophy, status of which as an academic discipline had become somewhat unstable in post-metaphysical era. This role consisted in providing existing research methodology of contemporary human sciences with philosophical-epistemological foundation that it still lacked. As a negative consequence of above-mentioned lack, he points out groundlessness of validity pretensions of knowledge as human sciences view it, which undermines their inherent aspiration to provide rules for optimal management of social life. It is especially characteristic of Dilthey's reasoning that solution of these two tasks coincides, as he sees it: very substantiation of objectivity of research results of human sciences would guarantee ability of these sciences to react back on life and society (Dilthey 2002:159). Thus we could say that Dilthey's deliberations of objectivity of scientific knowledge are motivated by two aspirations. On one hand, to form an adequate self-understanding for human sciences of themselves as legitimate members of scientific community. On other hand, to motivate pretensions of human sciences to become instrument of consciously shaping social life. In its endeavours to elaborate epistemology of scientific knowledge, German philosophy relied on national tradition, especially on philosophical legacy of Immanuel Kant. Back to became catchword for a number of diverse philosophical quests in second half of nineteenth century in Germany. Dilthey, too, was influenced by this movement, as very ambitious name that he gave to his epistemological aspirations testifies. Thus he set out to create the critique of historical reason, i.e. to complete in philosophy of human sciences something analogous to what he thought Kant had achieved within framework of his critique of reason in elaborating epistemological foundations of natural sciences. In accordance with general Kantian views, Dilthey proceeds in his philosophy from analysis of consciousness, attributing a major role to synthetic activeness of human spirit in formation of human world view, just like Kant had done before him. Likewise, he adopts in general lines Kant's idea of objectivity of scientific knowledge, according to which latter consists in strictly general and inevitable validity of knowledge about experienced reality. In Dilthey's opinion, Kant had managed to present convincingly conditions of possibility of objectivity of cognition in natural sciences. At same time he was positive that it was not possible to treat cognition in human sciences in an adequate manner by proceeding from conditions that Kant had delineated in area of natural sciences. …

Youths’ and scientists’ authoring of and positioning within science and scientists’ work

What would it take for youth to come to see science as a source of inspiration, as something intriguing and valuable, and as a world including them as active agents and legitimate members irrespective of who they are or who they want to become? I attempt to find some answers to this question by listening in on what youth have to say about science and scientists, talk occasioned through the conduct of oral histories of scientists and reflective work about visits to their work places, conducted by a small group of youth participating in an inner-city summer gardening program. I examine how youth and scientists position each other through talk and action and how they co-construct and deconstruct science and scientists’ work. I show how creating spaces within which youths’ images are validated and taken as resources for further co-construction and deconstruction of the world of science can lead to the development of broad notions of science that make insider status a possibility for them, whether as informed citizens or scientists.

Comments on Naoko Morita's "Negotiating Participation and Identity in Second Language Academic Communities": A Reader Responds . . . Speaking in a Foreign Language Academic Community of Practice: Toward a Holistic Understanding

■ Morita's (2004) article Negotiating Participation and Identity in Second Language Academic Communities addresses a number important research needs. Morita's attention to the processes by which six female Japanese graduate students at a Canadian university negotiated their participation and membership in a range academic discourse communities enhances understanding the conditions under which second and foreign language learners are orally engaged in the university classroom, a concern that has received comparatively limited attention in English for academic purposes (EAP) research (Flowerdew & Peacock, 2001). In particular, her attention to the processes by which classroom participants negotiated and established such membership is a valuable contribution to understanding the role power relations in students' incremental movement toward recognition as competent and legitimate members their classroom communities. Methodologically, Morita's contribution represents a welcome addition to recent ethnographic-based research that, along with the work researchers such as Leki (2001), offers the possibility a more holistic understanding classroom participation in second and foreign language academic environments. In applied linguistics, a holistic understanding classroom processes draws on the ethnographer's goal of creating a whole picture the particular culture, cultural situation, or cultural event under study a picture that leaves nothing unaccounted for and that reveals the interrelatedness all the component parts (Hornberger, 1994, p. 688). A holistic account encourages the researcher to move beyond the immedi-

Forming and maintaining a heat engine for quantum biology

Chemical reactions upholding biological functions and structures are the process of measurement taking place among the participating chemical reactants. Chemical reactions occurring in thermal environments are either endothermic or exothermic. In particular, exothermic reactions that can live with temperature gradients of exogenous origin could potentially be competent enough to synthesize a robust quantum as a heat engine. Molecular organizations leading to the origin of the phenomenon of life might have been associated with the emergence of a quantum coherence embodied in a robust heat engine feeding on quantum decoherence. Evolutionary maintenance of a robust quantum heat engine, once appeared, can further be empowered by the build-up of temperature gradients of endogenous origin. Biology enriches the repertoire of quantum mechanics so as to include a robust heat engine as a legitimate member of a quantum in addition to the already established member of a quantum including an atom, molecule, and macromolecule.

Tales Out of School: Accounting for Adolescents in a Literacy Reform Community

Guided by the hypothesis that students are most directly affected by—but least often consulted about—educational policy, practice, and reform, the author gathered interview data from students at a high school that was enacting new schoolwide literacy initiatives. In spite of the reforms, student achievement on state tests remained unchanged from previous years.The interview data support the assertion that the success or failure of literacy reform efforts depends in large measure on the cooperation and investment of students. Findings suggest further that adolescents, like their teachers, are not compliant functionaries but critical negotiators of change. On the basis of issues raised in the interviews, the author offers suggestions for ensuring all students are authorized as legitimate members of reform communities. Otherwise, the author claims, literacy innovations, which are often perceived as worthwhile by those lauding and enacting them, may have a limited degree of success in improving youths' academic performance.

Some Rare Peripheral Implications of Electromagnetism

This essay is essentially a plea for recognizing the Aharonov–Bohm (AB) integral as part of a quantum superstructure of Maxwell theory counting units of flux. The Gauss–Ampère (GA) integral then is added as a counter of net charge as well as an exterior product of the two, suggested by Kiehn, as counter of units of action. De facto, the AB integral already has this status, yet how its prestatistical nature relates to standard statistics-based quantum mechanics needs delineation. For electromagnetism to claim this quantum superstructure as a legitimate member of its family it is unavoidable to take issue with the Copenhagen view of quantum mechanics as stated in the introductory paragraph of this article. The limiting mathematical traditions that have been standing in the way of such developments are briefly reviewed here. They pertain to the relations between local and global procedures as delineated in de Rham theory as well as recognizing certain metric-free aspects of electromagnetism as a requirement sine qua non for counting in the micro-domain. For extended discussions, references, and proofs pertaining to the ensuing Quantum Reprogramming of the Copenhagen interpretation, readers are invited to consult the monograph of that title, by the present author.

Football U: spectator sports in the life of the American university

The Big Ten . . . the SEC . . . the Final Four . . . sometimes it seems that American higher education is more about sports than studies. Not so, says this well-researched, evenhanded study of athletics in university life. Sports--particularly football--play a key role in defining institutions that might otherwise be indistinguishable and are an indispensable tool in building a sense of community on campus, as well as an important factor in mustering alumni and political support.While abuses exist, the is not only a legitimate member of the academic community but an inevitable one as well--and football provides much-needed identity at every level from the local to the national scale. Pointing out that universities compete as much academically as athletically, J. Douglas Toma argues that fielding a winning sports team is a quick, effective way to win recognition and that doing so pays dividends across the board, by raising public (thereby making a school more attractive to potential students and faculty) and by creating a wider constituency of fans whose loyalties pay off in increased contributions and appropriations that support academic programs as well. He notes that universities like Harvard and Yale, now eclipsed on the gridiron, were powers in the era when America's westward expansion spawned new schools unable to challenge older institutions academically but able to win acclaim through sports. This fosters a campus and alumni culture based on Saturday--a bonding experience that helped forge a larger community whose support, both personal and financial, has become integral to the life of the institution.Football U. brings welcome impartiality to a subject all too often riven by controversy, pitting football boosters against critics who complain that academic achievement takes second place to athletic success. But as a tool for creating brand awareness as well as local loyalty and widespread support, high-profile athletic programs meet a variety of institutional needs in ways no other aspect of university life can. This, Toma observes, is a two-edged sword, for even as it fosters collegiality, it discourages reform when the pendulum swings too far in the direction of athletic dominance. Nevertheless, Football U. is here to stay.J.

Constructing risk across timescales and trajectories: Gay men's stories of sexual encounters

This paper explores the way risk is constructed in the stories gay men tell of their sexual experiences. It focuses on how tellers use such stories to portray themselves both as rational actors and as legitimate members of their social groups by reconstructing the 'orderliness' of sexual encounters. An analysis of a corpus of stories derived from a diary study of gay male sexual behaviour in Hong Kong using current theories of discourse analysis reveals how narrators organize their experiences along two primary vectors of engagement: a sequential vector along which the trajectory of the sexual encounter is presented as a chain of occurrences, each occurrence contingent upon previous ones and warranting subsequent ones, and a hierarchical vector along which processes perceived on longer timescales are portrayed as exerting pressure on the ways processes on shorter timescales unfold. Examining how men portray these vectors in their accounts of risk behaviour can help us better understand both the situatedness of risk behaviour and the ways it is linked to larger social practices, identity projects and community histories.
