New challenges for professional counsellors: The higher education international student population

Using a 50-item, self-report questionnaire, 640 international students enrolled at an urban university campus provided needs assessment data based on the geographical region of their country of origin. Additionally, the students’ perceptions regarding changes they experienced since coming to the United States are also reported. The authors conclude with a discussion of the study's implications for professional counsellors in higher education. Recommendations are proffered for the mental health services and programs needed by this special population of students based on the information obtained from the investigation.     

心理契约的内容、维度和类型

市场经济本质上是契约经济,契约是组织存在的基础。在深层水平上,契约表现为员工和组织所持信念的独特组合,这就是心理契约。经济模式的转变和经济全球化的发展使员工和组织之间的心理契约发生了巨大变化。文章首先对西方实证研究中心理契约的内容、维度、类型进行分析,然后对心理契约的时代特点加以阐述,最后对西方心理契约研究中存在的问题,以及开展心理契约研究对我国企业人力资源管理的意义进行讨论。     

新员工心理契约短期动态变化的实证研究

本文从心理契约具有动态性的角度出发,考察了新员工进入企业组织后的社会化过程中,心理契约预期、心理契约执行与心理契约违背三方面的变化。样本为382名进入企业组织的一年半以内的新员工。结果验证,心理契约在我国具有不同程度的短期动态变化的特性,具体情况因心理契约的预期、执行和违背的各维度而有所不同。同时,新员工早期工作经验与心理契约执行中的交易性义务变化有显著性差异。     

On Being Lutheran In A Religiously Plural World

Abstract : For those of us who are self‐consciously Lutheran, the reality of contemporary religious pluralism engenders important theological questions. The thesis of this essay is that “being Lutheran” within the context of contemporary religious pluralism requires the creation of “Lutheran identity” that is pluralistic in structure, while simultaneously avoiding either theological exclusivism or theological inclusivism. The implications of this thesis are that (1) dialogue with the religious traditions of the world is of primary importance for thinking Lutherans, and (2) the church's witness and mission needs to be reconfigured in light of the practice of interreligious dialogue.     

心理契约破坏研究现状与展望

心理契约破坏（psychologicalcontractbreach）是雇员对于组织未能充分履行心理契约中承诺责任的主观感知。文章阐述了心理契约破坏的概念界定、它产生的主要原因及其后果,以及相关的跨文化研究,并重点介绍了心理契约破坏对员工工作态度和行为产生影响过程中的相关权变因素（中介变量和缓冲变量）。在此基础上进一步提出未来研究应着重以下几方面：（1）心理契约破坏的心理机制及干预措施研究;（2）跨文化比较研究;（3）个体间差异的研究;（4）研究方法的改进     

团队异质性研究回顾与展望

从团队异质性的分类与测量、异质性的结果变量、异质性研究中的调节变量等方面阐述了团队异质性研究的成果和进展,并在此基础上讨论了未来研究的趋势和发展方向。未来的团队异质性研究需要对不同维度的异质性的交互作用进行分析;其次,异质性研究不仅要关注易观察特质的异质性,同时也需关注深层特质的异质性;最后,需要综合组织的背景,在更大的范围内研究异质性的影响     

Evidencing superdiversity in the census and beyond

Abstract

Starting from the proposition, in both my own work and that of Steve Vertovec, that there is something about superdiverse neighbourhoods or societies that is qualitatively different from those that are merely diverse, this paper asks whether it is possible to identify religious superdiversity within quantitative population data, such as the census in England and Wales, in order to test such a proposition. In doing this the paper will ask whether it is possible to find any evidence for superdiversity, as Vertovec defines it, in data sets such as the census and whether such data can help to identify where to set the boundary between ‘diversity’ and ‘superdiversity’. The paper will then explore what would need to be measured in order to designate an area as superdiverse in religious terms and whether the census data can offer any material that can be used for this purpose. The author concludes by suggesting that we need a range of methods, both quantitative and qualitative, to define any area as superdiverse and that it is only in this way that we can begin to test the kind of hypothesis offered by the author at the start of the paper.     

The Epistemic Criterion: A Response to Michael Hand

This article is a response to Michael Hand’s critique in this issue of my response to his use of the epistemic criterion as the sole means for identifying whether or not an issue should be identified as controversial. I argue that he has misunderstood my intention in suggesting that I was seeking to replace the epistemic criterion. Rather my purpose was to challenge his over-confidence in the decisiveness of reason and to temper his use of the epistemic criterion by suggesting it needed to embrace ethical concerns.     

Global ethics: dimensions and prospects

Global ethics is an emerging discipline which has not yet reached maturity. The main tasks before it to gain maturity are: first, to achieve a greater integration of various domains of enquiry all of which are concerned with global normative issues. At a general level this includes integrating global ethics with cosmopolitanism, global justice and human right discourse. At the level of areas of concern, there needs to be greater integration of various areas such as development, trade, environment and climate change. And it must grapple with the question of diversity within universality: how far can diversity of practices be accommodated within a culturally sensitive universal framework? Second, there is the question of finding a shared normative framework with respect to the diverse worldviews that may lie behind this: what degree and kind of convergence/consensus are worth working for? Third, there is the task of creating the conditions for its own wider acceptance, which should include taking the idea of global citizenship seriously.
