Abuses in Public Administration and Their Perception

Corruption not only hinders economic growth, but also undermines trust in public institutions, increases public spending and threatens the functioning of democracy. In addition to the financial damage, corruption in public administration has a serious social impact: it determines the trust of members of society in public governance and the civil service, it has a close impact on the fair and efficient use of public funds, and it affects the international image of the country. We aim to provide an overview of how corruption is present in public administration, how it differs from corruption in the private sector and how it can be intertwined with the public and private sectors. To identify methods to prevent corruption in public administration and to find out how public officials experience the functioning and effectiveness of these methods in practice.

A realist synthesis of prospective entrustment decision making by entrustment or clinical competency committees.

The real-world mechanisms underlying prospective entrustment decision making (PEDM) by entrustment or clinical competency committees (E/CCCs) are poorly understood. To advance understanding in this area, the authors conducted a realist synthesis of the published literature to address the following research question: In E/CCC efforts to make defensible prospective entrustment decisions (PEDs), what works, for whom, under what circumstances and why? Realist work seeks to understand the contexts (C), mechanisms (M) and outcomes (O) that explain how and why things work (or do not). In the authors' study, contexts included individual E/CCC members, E/CCC structures and processes, and training programmes. The outcome (i.e. desired outcome) was a PED. Mechanisms were a substantial focus of the analysis and informed the core findings. To define a final corpus of 52 included papers, the authors searched four databases, screened all results from those searches and performed a full-text review of a subset of screened papers. Data extraction focused on developing context-mechanism-outcome configurations from the papers, which were used to create a theory for how PEDM leads to PEDs. PEDM is often driven by default (non-deliberate) decision making rather than a deliberate process of deciding whether a trainee should be entrusted or not. When defaulting, some E/CCCs find red flags that sometimes lead to being more deliberate with decision making. E/CCCs that seek to be deliberate describe PEDM that can be effortful (when data are insufficient or incongruent) or effortless (when data are robust and tell a congruent story about a trainee). Both information about trainee trustworthiness and the sufficiency of data about trainee performance influence PEDM. Several moderators influence what is considered to be sufficient data, how trustworthiness data are viewed and how PEDM is carried out. These include perceived consequences and associated risks, E/CCC member trust propensity, E/CCC member personal knowledge of and experience with trainees and E/CCC structures and processes. PEDM is rarely deliberate but should be. Data about trainee trustworthiness are foundational to making PEDs. Bias, equity and fairness are nearly absent from the papers in this synthesis, and future efforts must seek to advance understanding and practice regarding the roles of bias, equity and fairness in PEDM.

Strengthening subject recruitment and retention of the older Black population in Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias studies through community outreach

AbstractBackgroundRepresentation in dementia research is extremely important in creating effective prevention methods, interventions, and treatments across all populations (Lennon et. al 2022; Barnes 2022). One of the main goals set by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) for the years 2020‐2025, is to disseminate information to several outlets including older adult‐support organizations about research and interventions. The NYU Healthy Brain Aging and Sleep Center (HBASC) has successfully built relationships with community organizations in an effort to contribute to meeting the NIA’s goal using the PEACE method. We evaluated pre‐post subject retention rate, after instigation of PEACE.MethodIn 2019, HBASC began recruitment for a longitudinal study focusing on sleep and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) in healthy older Blacks (ages 60‐75 years) in the New York Metropolitan Area using community outreach/education as a method of recruitment (i.e. partnering with senior recreation centers, local churches, etc.). Study team members implemented the PEACE method in their outreach efforts. Team members practiced Patience, when accommodating organizations’ needs and requests, Empathy, for the members of the communities they were working in, Appreciation, for the organizations’ aid in reaching the community, Cultural competence, when planning or participating in community events, and prioritized Educating the community, on AD and other related dementias before recruitment.ResultWithin the first year of recruitment, ∼77% vs. ∼23% of subjects were successfully recruited from the community favoring the PEACE method. When the PEACE method was successfully executed, the study team gained the trust of members of the community and retained ∼ 70% of subjects recruited from the community. Older Blacks trusted the HBASC study team because the PEACE method demonstrates dedication to the community. This in turn increases the likelihood of follow‐up response in longitudinal ADRD studies.ConclusionCollaborating directly with community organizations, is an efficient method not only of recruitment, but also retention of older Black subjects in ADRD studies. Collaborations with well‐known trusted community partners can establish a strong relationship between the Black community and research.

Self-Disclosure on Professional Social Networking Sites: A Privacy Calculus Perspective

The prevalence of social networking sites (SNS) raises questions about what information is private and what is not. Some users willingly share information on the site expecting some benefits, but others may be reluctant to do so due to fear of losing control of the shared information. To better understand the delicate relationship between privacy, perceived benefits, and self-disclosure, this study examines the antecedents of self-disclosure behavior on professional SNS (i.e., LinkedIn). A model contextualizing privacy calculus theory combined with the trust factor was developed and evaluated using 661 quantitative data collected through a questionnaire. Then, the data was analyzed using covariance-based structural equation modeling method. The results show that perceived benefit (e.g., self-presentation, career advancement, professional network development, learning, and information exchange), privacy concerns, and perceived control are the factors that directly influence LinkedIn users to disclose personal information. These factors become significant predictors of self-disclosure behavior. Meanwhile, trust in LinkedIn members, perceived severity, and perceived likelihood indirectly influence self-disclosure through privacy concerns. Finally, perceived control directly influences trust in LinkedIn members and trust in the LinkedIn provider. The findings of this study help to understand SNS users' behavior, particularly self-disclosure behavior. SNS users can become more aware of the benefits and risks of their disclosure behavior, allowing them to make more informed decisions. These findings can also be helpful for SNS providers to improve product experience and strategy by effectively encouraging and facilitating self-disclosure practices.

Impact of War Trauma on Interpersonal Mistrust among Syrian Refugees in Germany and Their Interpersonal Trust in Germans

In forced migration literature, there is a lack of studies on the impact of war trauma on interpersonal mistrust among refugees and their interpersonal trust in members of the host society. To contribute to filling this gap, the author studied the impact of war trauma on interpersonal mistrust among Syrian refugees in Germany and their interpersonal trust in Germans. The data are based on semi-structured qualitative interviews with 20 Syrian refugees and asylum-seekers conducted in 2018 and 2019. The author argues that because traumatised refugees are powerfully influenced by past traumatic events experienced in their home country, they tend to mistrust people who can be associated with the place where these traumatic experiences occurred. In contrast, they are inclined to trust people who cannot be linked to the geographical location of the traumatic experiences. The main result of this study is that similarity—that of war-traumatised refugees sharing the same socio-cultural backgrounds—leads to interpersonal mistrust, while dissimilarity leads to interpersonal trust. The author of this paper calls for considering trust-building among war traumatised refugees, which has significant importance for refugee integration.

Are People Addicted to Social Networks?

The popularity of social networking sites (SNSs) has increased rapidly. SNSs are a key part of daily life for many people around the world. The use of SNSs is already a global phenomenon. Drawing on social capital theory, this research empirically explored how structural capital (social network ties), relational capital (trust in SNSs, trust in members of SNSs, social identification, and social norms), and cognitive capital (shared language and shared goals) influence stickiness, which in turn affects addiction. This study introduced key moderators, privacy concerns and perceived security, to the relationship between stickiness and addiction. The authors empirically evaluated the proposed model by using survey data collected from SNS users. Structural equation modeling was applied to test the model. This study can provide a deeper understanding of SNS users' addiction behavior by focusing on social capital theory, privacy concerns, and perceived security and therefore contribute to both research and practice.

The Effect of Trust In The Soco Community on Repurchase Intention in Social E-Commerce

The virtual community strategy is a marketing strategy that is interactive, inexpensive, influential, and can increase sales for e-commerce. Sociolla is the largest beauty e-commerce that has a SOCO virtual community platform. With advanced technology, SOCO's community platform has many features to encourage product and beauty-related reviews, discussions, and topics. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between familiarity, perceived similarity, social network, structural assurance, trust propensity, impression management, Trust in members, trust in the website, intention to get information, and repurchase intention among members of the Sociolla virtual community, who is domiciled in Jakarta. Using PLS-SEM analysis, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi have purchased on the Sociolla site in the last six months. Rust is essential because beauty products depend on each user's skin condition. This research concludes that structural assurance, trust propensity, and impression management significantly affect Trust in members. Trust propensity and impression management significantly ultimately affect the Trust in the website. Confidence in members and Trust in the website significantly positively affect the intention to get information. Trust in members and Trust in the website significantly positively affect the repurchase intention.

Community-Based Research in Fragile Contexts: Reflections From Rohingya Refugee Camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh

This commentary examines community-based research in fragile settings based on the authors’ experience working with Rohingya and host community researchers in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. This iteration of a community-based approach to research focuses on putting community researchers at the center and emphasizes their involvement at each stage of the research process – from design to implementation to analysis – alongside external researchers. Community researchers contribute their expertise to increase understanding of nuances that might otherwise be lost to external researchers. Integral to this approach is building and nurturing the trust of researchers, respondents and community members through innovative means such as an informal “trust network.” Also central to the community-based approach, especially in fragile 1 settings, is a sustained emphasis on community researchers’ learning and skills-building. The commentary article describes methods developed by the Centre for Peace and Justice, Brac University (CPJ), implemented with Rohingya refugees and host community researchers in Cox’s Bazar. The article suggests: Putting community members at the heart of learning and research approaches helps to amplify marginalized voices and emphasize their needs and choices. The political and economic atmosphere of a refugee setting can change rapidly. In such circumstances, community-based research can be vital to policymakers that seek to understand emerging concerns and issues. Community-based experiential education and research approaches hold potential to promote grassroots leadership among refugee youth in situations of protracted displacement. Strengthening the capacities of community researchers is crucial to this approach. Community researchers often lack language skills, especially writing and reading, and translating from local dialects to English or any other preferred language. The acquisition of research skills can also pave a durable and critical pathway toward meaningful youth engagement. Trust and familiarity between refugee interlocutors and researchers require long-term engagement. Creating a culture of mutual respect and dignity is of utmost importance. The community expects researchers to respect their religious beliefs and cultural values. The two-way exchange between community researchers and respondents enhances the learning process and can help discover areas for further inquiry.

Social trust and affective polarization in Spain (2014–19)

One overlooked aspect of the rising levels of affective polarization is its effect on general social trust. In the present article, we analyze the relationship between affective polarization and various measures of social trust using two separate panel surveys that were implemented in Spain in two different political periods (2014–2015 and 2018–2019), in order to assess whether the individual variations in the levels of affective polarization may affect people's trust in other members of society. Our findings suggest that affective polarization towards out-party members has a mutually reinforcing negative relationship with general social trust, generating a pervasive equilibrium of social and political deterioration that might contribute to worsening democratic quality. This effect is not compensated by any significant bonding effect resulting from in-partisan identification, whose effects seem to be restricted just to the very closest inner-circle individuals.

A Family Member or a Professional Manager? The Role of Trust in the Choice of CEO in Family Firms

Using a sample of Chinese family firms from 2008–2015, we investigate the impact of trust on the choice of whether to hire a family member or a professional manager as CEO. We find that the presence of a professional CEO is negatively associated with a higher level of trust in family members. In contrast, it is positively associated with a higher level of trust in non‐family members. Our findings suggest that the trust mode in Chinese family firms is like the ‘differential mode of association’, which describes Fei's (1992) social structure of Chinese society. Moreover, a higher level of trust in family members is associated with native entrepreneurial activities, which strengthens the negative relationship between trust in family and the presence of a professional CEO. Furthermore, the role of trust in family firms’ appointment decisions is more pronounced in regions with relatively weak legal protection and firms with relatively poor governance. Our results hold when we control for endogeneity and after a series of robustness checks. This research links the governance of family firms to the informal institution of trust, enriching the literature on trust and family firm behaviours.

A Exploratory Study on the Shared Leadership for Organizational Trust and Affective Commitment: Focusing on the Church Organization in Endemic Periods

COVID-19의 장기화에 따라 교회 조직은 구성원 감소 및 신뢰 악화 등 양적, 질적으로 적재된 조직 내부의 문제를 마주하고 있다. 또한 환경의 변화에 따라 교회에 요구되고 있는 다양하고 복잡한 과제를 해결하여야 하는 외적 문제에도 직면하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 기독교 내에서 제기되고 있는 교회의 리더십 패러다임 변화의 필요성에 공감하고, 엔데믹 시기 교회조직을 위한 공유 리더십과 이와 관련된 조직 신뢰 및 정서적 몰입에 대한 개념을 고찰하기 위하여 진행되었다. 연구 결과, 공유 리더십은 모든 구성원이 권한과 책임을 가지고 자발적으로 소통하여 과업을 달성하게 만들며, 궁극적으로 조직의 신뢰를 높이고, 구성원들의 조직에 대한 정서적 몰입을 극대화시킬 수 있는 개념인 것으로 나타났다. 조직신뢰가 높아지면 구성원들의 정서적 몰입 역시 극대화될 수 있다. 또한 공유 리더십은 영향력을 분산하여 구성원 간 영향력을 고르게 분배하는 반면 영향력의 밀도는 최대화 할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 교회 조직 내에서 아직 고찰되지 않은 공유 리더십에 대한 개념을 심도 있게 고찰하여 교회 조직과 관련된 리더십의 연구를 확장시키는 데 기여할 것으로 기대된다. 또한 COVID-19 와 관련된 각종 교회 환경의 변화 속에서 산업 조직 대상의 실증 연구를 교회조직에 대응시켜 실무적 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.COVID-19 has been prolonged. In the meantime, church organizations have been loaded with internal problems, both quantitatively and qualitatively, such as a decrease in membership and a decrease in trust. In addition, they are facing external problems to solve various and complex tasks required of the church according to the changes in the environment. For this reason, the need for a paradigm change in Christian leadership has recently been shared. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the concept of shared leadership for church organizations during the endemic period and related organizational trust and affective commitment. As a result of reviewing previous studies, shared leadership enables all members to voluntarily communicate and achieve tasks with authority and responsibility. Therefore, it was found that shared leadership is a concept that can ultimately polarize organizational trust and affective commitment of organizational members to the organization. Increased organizational trust maximizes members' affective commitment. In addition, shared leadership was found to distribute influence evenly among members by distributing influence, while maximizing the density of influence. This study is expected to contribute to expanding research on leadership related to church organizations by examining in depth the concept of shared leadership that has not yet been considered within church organizations. In addition, it seems that practical implications can be provided by examining previous empirical research on industrial organizations and responding to church organizations.

Pathology of Rural Production Cooperatives – Evidence from Iran

Cooperative rural production companies are one of the most important types of cooperative system in Iran. Its activities have been started since 1963. It seems that this farming system hasn’t been able to become a source of positive developments to date. The present study seeks to assess the pathology of rural production cooperatives. The statistical population of this research is 55 rural cooperatives of Isfahan province with 21213 members that 41 cooperatives are active, with 16,870 members. The data collection method was documentary and survey. The required information for this research was collected by using a library method as well as interviewing method and completing the questionnaire. The sampling method was randomly classified according to the number of members of each cooperative based on sample size. According to the Cochran formula, 217 samples were determined and questionnaires were completed by the members. Also, 98 questionnaires were completed by the managers and board of cooperative production companies. The results showed that at least seven categories of damaged can be listed for these cooperatives, which are: adverse characteristics in cooperative members, adverse characteristics in cooperatives management, lack of communication, trust and participation of members with the management of cooperatives, low social activity of members in cooperatives, lack of effectiveness training for cooperative members, dissatisfaction with cooperative performance and lack of social capital.
