Doing Bad Things for Good Reasons: An Examination of Unethical Pro-Organizational Behavior Among Professional Workers

While generating many of the same costs associated with unethical behavior at work, unethical pro-organizational behavior poses a unique challenge. It suggests a “dark side” to constructs thought to be productive, like organizational identification. Research suggests that individuals identifying highly with their organization are more likely to engage in unethical pro-organizational behavior. This study calls into question previous findings that organizational identification predicts unethical pro-organizational behavior. It validates previous findings of a negative association between moral identity and moral disengagement and a positive association between moral disengagement and unethical pro-organizational behavior. It also provides the first empirical evidence of a negative association between work engagement and moral disengagement. While pointing to variables that practitioners can manipulate to mitigate the risk of unethical pro-organizational behavior, the present study highlights the complexity of predicting and responding to the dark side of organizational identification.

Strategi Penerapan Kedisiplinan Guru Pendidikan Agama Kristen dalam Pembelajaran dan Bermain Anak Usia 3-5 Tahun

The purpose of learning discipline is to teach behavior. When teaching kids to give up, the key is asking them to do the right thing for the right reasons. What is initially external because of pressure from parents or the external environment, but then becomes something internal and integrates with the child's personality, then it is called discipline. Children learn to play while playing. It is too easy for children to carry out the learning process in a teacher's own way, inseparable from school or homeschooling. This is the world of children, the world of exciting games. The child's world is basically a world of play, especially at an early age.

The role of stickiness, extrapolation and past consensus forecasts in macroeconomic expectations

We estimate a simple reduced-form model of expectation formation with three distinct deviations from full-information rational expectations that combines underreaction with overreaction to new information. In particular, forecasts are sticky, extrapolate the most recent news about the current period, and depend on the lagged consensus forecast about the period being forecast. We find that all three biases are present in the Survey of Professional Forecasters as well as in the Livingston Survey, and that their magnitudes depend on the forecasting horizon. We also stress the point that using the past consensus forecast to form expectations is a reasonable thing to do if a forecaster is not able to come up with full-information rational expectations all by herself. Finally, we show that forecasters that have more sticky expectations generally tend to rely less on the lagged consensus forecast but extrapolate news about the current period more.

Estirando o tapete vermelho: uma crítica às motivações neoliberais orientadoras da promoção de escolas bilíngues públicas para crianças no Brasil

ABSTRACT: When it comes to being a bilingual child in Brazil, it is not about any form of bilingualism, however, that is valued. Despite its characterisation, English is seen as a commodity, often sold as the sole tool responsible for professional development and financial success, even when considering children. The core argument of this paper is that some Brazilian politicians have done the right thing (i.e., promoting a Foreign Language Education, in this case English or Spanish, to young learners) for the wrong reason (i.e., believing they can promote the English or Spanish Language Education to guarantee the children’s professional success in the future). In order to illustrate this viewpoint, excerpts from two Brazilian politicians are considered, besides excerpts from other social actors. As the analysis unfolds, four questions are addressed: (1) To whose desires is a society of the global South responding to whose desires?; (2) Right thing for the wrong reasons?; (3) Who gets to walk on the red carpet?; and (4) Where does the magic carpet promise to take us?

A Challenge for the Scaffolding View of Responsibility

According to Victoria McGeer’s “scaffolding view” (SV) (McGeer 2019), responsibility is a matter of moral reasons-sensitivity (MRS) which, in turn, requires only a “susceptibility to the scaffolding power of the reactive attitudes, experienced as a form of moral address” (2019: 315). This claim prompts a prima facie challenge: doesn’t this susceptibility lead to doing the right things for the wrong reasons? Although the SV offers a nuanced and sophisticated answer to this challenge, one that moreover respects the social nature of moral knowledge and the fragility of moral motivation, it does not succeed. It redefines MRS to fit our responsibility practices in a way that overlooks our (fragile) capacity for “genuine MRS.” The first and primary objective of this paper is to contrast SV-MRS with genuine MRS. The second objective is to suggest that rather than redefining MRS (which is both unwarranted and costly), we should accept that there is a gap between our practices (and thus responsible agency) and genuine MRS.

The Power and Its Graph Simulations on Discrete and Continuous Distributions

We determined the power and its graph simulations on the discrete Poisson and Chi-square distributions. There are four important steps of the research methodology summarized as follow: (1) determine the sufficient statistics (if possible), (2) create the rejection area (UMPT test is sometime used), (3) derive the formula of the power, and (4) determine the graphs using the data (in simulation). The formula of the power and their curves are then created using <img src=image/13427687_01.png> code. The result showed that the power of the illustration of the discrete (Binomial distribution) depended on the number of trials <img src=image/13427687_02.png> and bound of the rejection area. The curve of the power is sigmoid (<img src=image/13427687_03.png>-curve) and tends to be zero when parameter shape (<img src=image/13427687_04.png>) is greater than 0.4. It decreases (started from <img src=image/13427687_04.png>= 0.2) as the parameter theta increases. In the Poisson context, the curve of the power of the Poisson distribution is not <img src=image/13427687_03.png>-curve, and it only depends on the parameter shape <img src=image/13427687_05.png>. We note that the curve of the power of the Poisson is quickly to be one for <img src=image/13427687_02.png> greater than 2 and <img src=image/13427687_05.png> less than 10. In this case, the size of the Poisson distribution is greater than 0.05, so it is not a reasonable thing even the power is close to be one. In this context, we have to choose the maximum power and minimum size. In the context of Chi-square distribution, the graph of the power and size functions depend on rejection region boundary (<img src=image/13427687_06.png>). Here, we note that skewness of the <img src=image/13427687_03.png>-curve is positive as the <img src=image/13427687_06.png> increases. Similarly, the size also depends on the <img src=image/13427687_06.png> (and constant), and it decrease as the <img src=image/13427687_06.png> increases. We here also noted that the power is quickly to be one for large degree of freedom (<img src=image/13427687_07.png>).

Ethical Dilemmas and Big Data

Using big data in organizations has the potential to improve innovation, accuracy, and efficiency. Big data is also connected with risks for both the organization and society at large. It is therefore vital to improve our understanding of the potential consequences of implementing and using big data. The researchers studied the Swedish Transport Administration to understand their attitude towards implementing big data to predict, for example, the need for road maintenance. The analysis identified four moral dilemmas that the organization deals with in connection to big data. The researchers discuss these dilemmas from the perspective of practical wisdom. Practical wisdom is manifested in context-dependent actions connected to open-mindedness, reflection and judgment. It can be summed up as “the reasonable thing to do” in a unique situation where “not-knowing” is a helpful resource when making wise decisions. This paper seeks to shed light on the importance of practical wisdom when implementing big data.

(Not) Doing the Right Things for the Wrong Reasons: An Investigation of Consumer Attitudes, Perceptions, and Willingness to Pay for Bio-Based Plastics

Fossil-based plastics are significant contributors to global warming through CO2 emissions. For more sustainable alternatives to be successful, it is important to ensure that consumers become aware of the benefits of innovations such as bio-based plastics, in order to create demand and a willingness to initially pay more. Given that consumer attitudes and (inaccurate) beliefs can influence the uptake of such new technologies, we investigated participants’ attitudes towards fossil-based and bio-based plastic, their perceived importance of recycling both types of plastic, their willingness to pay, and their perceptions of bio-based plastic in four studies (total N = 961). The pre-registered fourth study experimentally manipulated information about bio-based plastic and measured willingness to pay for different types of plastic. The results suggest participants hold very favourable attitudes and are willing to pay more for bio-based products. However, they also harbour misconceptions, especially overestimating bio-based plastic’s biodegradability, and they find it less important to recycle bio-based than fossil-based plastic. Study 4 provided evidence that educating consumers about the properties of bio-based plastic can dispel misconceptions and retain a favourable attitude and a high willingness to pay. We found mixed evidence for the effect of attitudes on willingness to pay, suggesting other psychological factors may also play a role. We discuss how attitudes and misconceptions affect the uptake of new sustainable technologies such as bio-based plastics and consumers’ willingness to purchase them.

Pandemic (COVID-19) Lockdown and Human Resource Management Emergency Policy Intervention

This study assesses the emergency policy intervention of the Human Resource Department (HRD)at the employee's housing during the Curfew and Pandemic Lockdown in Kuwait. In this case, the study applies interviews using a structured questionnaire and observation. This study is a qualitative study that primarily uses interviews and observations. Interview and observations are used to gather some feedback from the respondents while comparing the regular or normal-day protocol and emergency protocols in the employees’ housing. The researcher makes use of the total population sampling as a type of purposive sampling. The respondents’ demographics show that majority are mature employees who have reached their level of expertise in doing the right things for the right reasons in policy execution that contributed to the success of their policy execution. The Disaster Risk and Reduction Team (DRRT) regarded the implementation to be responsive since the majority of the employees abide by the policies and that, the housing is not infiltrated by the virus. The role of HRD is vital in Risk management. HRD plans according to considerations, primarily in the promotion of the welfare of its people. It serves as the backbone of policy planning, while the DRRT serves as the frontlines of the housing. They are the implementor of the plans serve by HRD. Yes, there is a significant relationship between the emergency policies and the safety of employees. It is the policies that limit the actions of the employee actions that are distinctive during the regular free-pandemic days. Without the emergency policies, the safety of the employees may be at risk that could probably infect employees in the organization and cause the rise of COVID-19 patients in the country.

‘Die Rache an den Eisenbahnen’: Elias Canetti und der Attentäter Sylvester Matuska

Between 1930 and 1931 a Hungarian sales assistant called Sylvester Matuska committed several attacks on the railway network which resulted in numerous deaths and injuries. He called himself variously a modern Antichrist, a religious communist or workers’ leader. After his arrest he made a full confession and intended to account in detail for his actions with a ‘big speech’ at his trial which began on 15 June 1932 at the Regional Criminal Court in Vienna. A young Elias Canetti observed the trial from the public gallery. Despite his notoriety amongst contemporary criminologists across the world, Matuska's case has not been analysed in studies of atrocities, paranoia or compulsive destruction. He is moreover also not mentioned in Canetti's own work on these subjects. This is puzzling because in a note made in 1949 Canetti stresses that he first learnt about the connection between power and pathological paranoia through Matuska. Compared with Matuska's modern, politically revolutionary arguments, Canetti's understanding in Masse und Macht of people who destroy things for reasons of delusion appears distinctly otherworldly. This article follows traces left by the railway bomber in Canetti's unpublished notes from the 1930s and reconstructs the links, which for Canetti tend to be of secondary importance, between technology, speed and power, as well as Canetti's ambivalent attitude to questionable contemporary evidence. *

IMPLEMENTASI TOPSIS DALAM PEMBERIAN REWARD GURU TERBAIK PADA SMK SWASTA 1 HKBP PEMATANGSIANTAR

Reward is a form of appreciation received by an individual for the achievement of a work performance that aims to motivate the individual to have high productivity. In managerial terms, giving a warning is a good and reasonable thing to do by the leader to his subordinates. Likewise with the Private Vocational School 1 HKBP Pematangsiantar. This research was conducted to provide solutions to problems that occur through the design of a decision support system software for giving the best teacher reward with the Technique for Order Preferences by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method with assessment components including (1) discipline, (2) involvement, (3 ) attendance, (4) leadership, (5) training and (6) social. The Decision Support System for providing teacher rewards is able to accommodate subjective problems, lack of transparency, and doubts about its accuracy and the output is very credible. Thus the decision-making process for giving the best teacher reward is efficient, effective and objective and can be used as a recommendation for school principals in determining which teachers deserve rewards. From the 10 data samples used, the results of the analysis using the Decision Support System show that the highest recommendation value is 0.7149 on behalf of A8, while the lowest recommendation value is 0.2851 on behalf of A10.

The Role of Stickiness, Extrapolation and Past Consensus Forecasts in Macroeconomic Expectations

We propose a simple model of expectation formation with three distinct deviations from fully rational expectations. In particular, forecasters’ expectations are sticky, extrapolate the most recent news about the current period, and depend on the lagged consensus forecast about the period being forecast. We find that all three biases are present in the Survey of Professional Forecasters as well as in the Survey of Professional Forecasters as well as in the Livingston Survey, and that their magnitudes depend on the forecasting horizon.Moreover, in an over-identified econometric specification, we find that the restriction on coefficients implied by our model is always close to being satisfied and in most cases not rejected. We also stress the point that using the past consensus forecast to form expectations is a reasonable thing to do if a forecaster is not able to come up with fully rational expectations all by herself.

APPRECIATING BY ALLOWANCE TO INCREASE MOTIVATION OF NURSES WORK IN RSUD M. SANI

Motivation with an encouraging or retrospective compensation that is regarded as what makes them work better. The purpose of this research is to know the relationship of giving incentives to the motivation work of nurses in the inpatient installation of RSUD M. SANI. This research draft is quantitative with sampling methods using Total Sampling. The samples in this study consisted of 86 nurses and data analyzed using the Spearman Rank analysis test. The results of the study showed that the number of respondents who were less incentive and good had a comparison of 43 respondents (50%). The most number of respondents has a good work motivation of 50 (58,1%). There is an incentive-granting relationship with the work motivation of nurses working in the inpatient installation of RSUD M. Sani with two variables in the Medium category (p value = 0,000, Rho = 0,424). In this case the hospital is expected to be able to pay attention and increase incentives. The feasible and reasonable thing is to make clear target work conditions so that the wishes of work can increase.
