The Joint Moderating Effects of Activated Negative Moods and Group Voice Climate on the Relationship between Power Distance Orientation and Employee Voice Behavior

Employees inherently have concerns about the consequences of speaking up, and this is particularly notable for employees with high power distance orientation (PDO). Drawing on ideas from the dual‐pathway model of mood and social information processing theory, we propose that activated negative mood and group voice climate can synergistically facilitate high‐PDO employees' voice behaviors. Using a sample from 305 real‐estate sales agents in 66 work groups in Taiwan, we examined the joint moderating effects of activated negative mood and group voice climate on employees' two forms of voice behavior. Our results show that PDO had a negative relationship with promotive voice but did not have a significant relationship with prohibitive voice. Nevertheless, our results show that in the situation where both activated negative mood and group voice climate were high, PDO no longer had a negative relationship with promotive voice, and even had a positive relationship with prohibitive voice. The findings of this study provide theoretical insights for the voice literature and offer practical suggestions for facilitating opinion expression in organisations.     

Data Collection via Online Platforms: Challenges and Recommendations for Future Research

Online platforms such as Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk) are increasingly used by researchers to collect survey and experimental data. Yet, such platforms often represent a tumultuous terrain for both researchers and reviewers. Researchers have to navigate the complexities of obtaining representative samples from online participant cohorts, ensuring data quality, ethically incentivizing participant engagement, and maintaining transparency. Reviewers, on the other hand, have to navigate the complexities of evaluating the efficacy of such data collection and execution efforts in answering important research questions. In order to provide clarity to these issues, this article provides researchers and reviewers with a series of recommendations for effectively executing and evaluating data collection via online platforms, respectively.     

关于轮廓与视觉搜索顺序的实验研究

轮廓是图形识别的重要线索,在平行加工形成轮廓的基础上,进一步的特征搜索会与轮廓有关。本研究通过3个实验探讨轮廓对于搜索顺序的作用。实验一的目的在于确认轮廓因素在视觉搜索中的关键作用,实验结果进一步验证了视觉搜索中存在“可能目标”的心理表征。实验二结果显示,图形的重叠虽然可以产生新的特征,但是未必提高搜索速度。由此引入关于轮廓与视觉搜索顺序的关系问题,提出了在轮廓形成的基础上搜索区别性特征的顺序为轮廓外区→轮廓本身→轮廓内区的假设。实验三进一步检验这个假设。     

个体灵魂的神圣性与超脱——埃克哈特神秘主义思想探微

在埃克哈特看来,个体灵魂的神圣性与超脱对于上帝至关重要,因为这二者分别意味着上帝在俗世的“诞生”(Gottesgeburt)与自我成全。在灵魂的种种能力中,理性与意志最能体现这种神圣性与高贵性,但意志由于其软弱性而需要理性的指引,因此理性才是灵魂最高贵的能力。灵魂的能力不是为了高扬灵魂自身,而是为了去除灵魂对世界、自身乃至上帝的理解中的那些会导致自我封闭的执念,如此方能达到人与上帝“合一”之境。尽管如此,埃克哈特的神秘主义并不“神秘”,因为它是理性之人皆可努力尝试的一条成圣之路。埃克哈特的神秘主义思想以其对理性与个体性的独特理解塑造了此后的德国思辨哲学,要真正理解后者,就不能局限于近代哲学框架内加以考察,而必须回溯到埃克哈特。     

出入于有无之际——简析庐山慧远法身观的理论矛盾

东晋十六国时期,随着佛教的进一步发展,佛教思想与中国固有文化观念的冲突日趋激化,造成了深受国家本位、祖先崇拜和灵魂不死等传统观念影响的中土佛教学者的理论困惑,也迫使他们对一些重大的佛教理论问题作出自己独立的思考和阐释。作为东晋时期中国佛教的领军人物,庐山慧远置     

论"民本思想"在齐文化中的历史地位与作用

齐文化作为中国古代的地域文化,博大精深,是中国传统文化的重要组成部分.民本思想作为齐文化的重要组成部分,其发展与实践则更显突出.正因为齐国有为君臣注重爱民、重民、富民,注重民众的作用,才使齐国成为了春秋五霸之首、战国七雄之一.梳理与研究齐文化中的民本思想,不仅可使齐国治国思想的研究深入,而且对建设有中国特色的社会主义现代化无疑也有着重要的借鉴意义.
