An Investigation of the Three-Way Joint Coaching Alliance: A Social Identity Theory Perspective

This study builds upon the previous research that recognised coaching as a triangular political space generating power relationships. We integrate social identity theory into this power negotiation process and consider that the ultimate purpose of coaching is to facilitate a shared coaching identity among all related collaborators. To gain in-depth understanding of factors that promote a three-way joint coaching identity, we conducted 25 critical incident interviews and two levels of Q-sorting (n = 10) with coaches, coachees, and organisational stakeholders. The research results indicated that a workplace coaching identity is a flexible space underpinned by coaches’ attitude, all collaborators’ positions, and the contracting process. Coaches’ accommodated communication techniques determine the relationship climate (instrumental or influential). Coaches’ position in the coaching space regulates their self-interests and motivation to change. Moreover, a transparent contracting process encourages communication flows and psychological exchanges among all collaborators that may gain more support from stakeholders.     

张荫麟、贺麟朱子太极动静说论辩简析

1930年贺麟发表了论朱子与黑格尔太极说的文章，张荫麟即作了评议和讨论。1934年冯友兰的《中国哲学史》下册出版，张荫麟又对其中所述的朱子太极动静说提出了意见。1938年张荫麟以对冯友兰书中朱子太极动静说的意见为基础，发表了关于这一讨论的专论文章，贺麟则对之进行了细致的讨论评议，使得相关讨论更为深化。这一轮关于朱子哲学的讨论，其中涉及广泛的比较哲学讨论和对朱子哲学理之动静观点的理解诠释，很值得进一步加以推进。

爱国爱教玄门钦——纪念闵智亭大师仙逝五周年

听着窗外呼啸肆虐的狂风,心中顿生一丝寒意,我怅然若失,无心案头工作.随手翻看会议记录,一纸"<道藏>养生类编意见"映入眼帘:"收编的内容,我认为很好.我同意……"想起这是前几天同事转给我的前中国道教协会会长闵智亭道长的生前手稿.端详着手稿,一个慈祥、倔强、朴素、智慧的老人形象油然而生,渐觉暖意融融.我不由得想起五年前一个风雪交加之夜,受远方友人之托.去医院看望病重住院的闵智亭大师,并送花篮.当时大师已住院月余,虽然病情不见好转,但一向坚强的他精神很好,看着送去的花篮,微笑着说:"谢谢.     

启蒙反思三题

如何看待启蒙运动对于传统的否定,现在大家的认识基本上趋于一致,就是不管是西方启蒙对基督宗教的全盘否定,还是中国近代启蒙对中国传统的全盘否定,这种思潮都慢慢地过去了.我们倡导启蒙反思,特别是对启蒙运动那种全盘反传统的观念加以反思,这一点应该是确定无疑的.
