Charting New Terrain in Work Design: A Study of Hybrid Work Characteristics

Research on work design to date has focused on work characteristics associated primarily with one of three domains—task, social, or contextual. The present paper introduces a new concept—hybrid work characteristics—that refer to work characteristics which are not fully captured within any one of the three domains but possess features from more than one domain. We identify boundarylessness, multitasking, non-work-related interruptions, and demand for constant learning as hybrid work characteristics in the modern work environment. Furthermore, we theorise that boundarylessness, multitasking, and demand for constant learning carry both enriching and depleting potential, but non-work-related interruptions have only depleting potential. In our study, we developed instruments to assess the four work characteristics and tested their relationship with jobholders’ job satisfaction, occupational commitment, emotional exhaustion, and somatic health symptoms, through three independent studies (a total of 968 employees across a wide range of jobs). The results demonstrated convergent, predictive, and discriminant validity for the newly developed scales, and showed partial support for the prediction that boundarylessness and multitasking are beneficial as well as detrimental for jobholders and consistent support for the depleting potential inherent in non-work-related interruptions. We conclude with a discussion of how our exploration of hybrid work characteristics contributes to research on work design and management practices.

“人的个性”的前提性问题

"人的个性"问题虽然日益引起学界的兴趣并取得了不少研究成果,但对这一问题的研究仍需进行前提性反思。当我们深入思考和分析这三个问题时,就会发现其中隐含着一系列需要思考的前提性问题:究竟什么是人的个性?人的个性对于人究竟意味着何种意义与价值?人的个性究竟是从哪里来的?这些问题是研究人的个性需要首先回答的问题。真正理解和把握"人的个性"问题需要超越"抽象人性论"的思想局限。只有以马克思的"具体人性论"思想为指导,才能形成关于"人的个性"的合理观念。     

推进六朝文化研究的若干思考

六朝概念的把握,包括朝代内涵、时间起迄、空间范围、一贯性相共通四点。六朝文化的研究,应从物质文化、精神文化、制度文化、行为文化、心态文化五个方面展开。开展六朝文化研究的前提,是了解研究状况、熟悉基本文献资料、重视文物考古资料。拓宽加深六朝文化研究,则需做到胸有成竹、更新认识、追求创新、经世致用     

《文心雕龙》易学撰著体例探析

就<文心雕龙>撰著体例而言,刘勰依据汉易象数原则及马融对"大衍之数"的解释,原本只将全书定为五十章并分为上下两篇;依汉易对"太极"及"三才"说的解释,由<原道>、<征圣>、<宗经>三篇构成总论,<原道>则相当于"其一不用"的"太极".由<辨骚>至<书记>为上篇文体论,依"取象"原则,旨在论文体渊源与流变;下篇旨在论"问数",而<神思>至<总术>又是集中阐述"驭文之术";上篇<原道>以下及下篇<神思>以下各篇篇第次序都是依取"两两相偶"的解易体例排定的,故<文心雕龙>通行本各篇篇第次序当为原貌.依象数不离及八宫卦原则,上篇与下篇又存在着对应关系.总之,刘勰<文心雕龙>的撰著体例是依取汉易象数学的解易体例而确立的.     

What do academics know and do about plagiarism? An interview study with Chinese university teachers of English

Previous research on plagiarism has increased awareness and knowledge of the various aspects of this issue, such as contributing factors to plagiarism, students’ and teachers’ perceptions of plagiarism, and institutional policies and regulations on plagiarism. Yet much of this research, especially on the latter two aspects, has been conducted in Anglo-American contexts or English-as-a-second-language (ESL) settings (where English is an official or important language in the larger societal context), while the diversity of English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) contexts (where English as a foreign language is largely used only in the language classroom) remains relatively under-researched. Of those studies that did focus on EFL contexts, the majority were based on survey data that were limited in the depth of information collected. To address this relative lack of in-depth understanding of how plagiarism is understood and acted against in EFL contexts, this paper reports on an interview study with 13 EFL teachers from 12 universities in mainland China. The study focused on the teachers’ knowledge and attitudes concerning plagiarism, plagiarism-related pedagogical practices, as well as perceived stances and expectations of their institutions in plagiarism prevention. Its findings contribute to the current knowledge base of EFL academics’ views and practices regarding plagiarism, add to our understanding of EFL teachers’ experiences concerning plagiarism in specific educational settings, and inform institutions’ efforts to develop and improve strategies and policies for preventing plagiarism.     

Ethical Leadership and Unethical Pro-Organisational Behaviour: The Mediating Mechanism of Reflective Moral Attentiveness

This study examines the mediating effects of reflective moral attentiveness on the relationship between ethical leadership and subordinates’ unethical pro-organisational behaviour (UPB). Based on two-wave survey data obtained from 233 employees in 60 teams from Chinese government agencies, we found that ethical leadership was positively related to reflective moral attentiveness. In addition, we found that reflective moral attentiveness mediated the relationship between ethical leadership and UPB, such that ethical leadership negatively influenced subordinates’ unethical pro-organisational behaviour through enhancing reflective moral attentiveness.     

布尔模态的公理化（英文）

布尔模态(即模态生成算子补、交、并)涉及到了完全性问题。并模态是模态可定义的,但是补和交都不是。这意味着证明包含这三个模态的逻辑的完全性不是一件简单直接的事情。Gargov和Passy使用复制方法从整体上处理这三个模态,但是,这个方法不适用于强完全性,也不能单独处理这三个模态。本文改进了这个方法,使得改进后的方法更具一般性,并且没有这两个不足之处。     

中学生心理素质的类别特征:基于个体中心的潜在类别分析

了解中学生心理素质的类别特征并考察其性别与学段特点。使用中学生心理素质问卷对全国1570名中学生被试施测,使用潜在类别分析方法对中学生的心理素质类别特征进行划分,使用无序多分变量的Logistic回归考察中学生心理素质的性别与学段特点。结果:依据潜在类别分析的统计指标,中学生心理素质可划分"高心理素质组"(15%)、"较高个性-适应性组"(21%)、"较低个性-适应性组"(33%)和"低心理素质组"(31%)。进一步的分析发现,与"低心理素质组"相比,其它三组有着显著的性别和学段效应,"高心理素质组"、"较高个性-适应性组"和"较低个性-适应性组"的女生所占比例更大;同时,在这三个组群中初中生所占的比例更高。表明,中学生的心理素质有明显分类特征,不同潜在类别中有显著的性别与学段特点。     

明代的乐舞生与《大明御制玄教乐章》

明代,在封建社会趋向衰落和道教式微的景况下,明皇室为借助道教为其政治服务,仍积极倡导和促使道教科仪的规范和道乐的实践活动.本文通过对明代神乐观与乐舞生特有音乐机制,以及<大明御制玄教乐章>的创制过程及御用功能的探讨,认为明代道教斋醮和道乐的活跃与繁荣,均系明皇室有意作为的结果.
