Minority Employment

Corporations frequently anticipate problems when hiring minority employees due to their lack of skills, educational weaknesses, and cultural differences. Underlying the corporations concern is the difficulty they have experienced in handling white employees whose personal value system does not match that of the corporation. An increase in minority employment could then intensify an already difficult situation by increasing value conflict in an organization which has a low tolerance for such conflict. The hidden issue of organizing to achieve constructive value conflict is an a priori condition to an effective minority employment program.

The Eu

Usually, euroization is connected with the necessity of passing through not easy to fulfil and to maintain the Maastricht Treaty criteria and to accept (à) priori a definite course of resigning from the national currency. Upon fulfilling the required adjustment periods of euro adoption, the European law forces a total departure from the national currency. This process is subjected to a solid supervision and control of the EU organs. Additionally, the Maastricht Treaty obliges to introduce the euro when a country is in a good economic condition, confirmed by the fulfilment of nominal convergence criteria. In such a situation, the common currency adoption must be (or should be) always interpreted as a proof of a stable economic development and abilities of keeping such parameters in the future. However, in case of euroization accomplished with omission (or even with infringing) the Treaty, there is no necessity of complementing any European law duties, and especially there is no obligation of totally resigning the national currency. Such kind of euro adoption means not a full but a partial euroization, which can appear in a very difficult situation in country`s economy or when currency independence is not safe and profitable. Resignation from the national currency is like an act of desperation, or at least it is forced by the lack of the abilities to manage the economic problems. The purpose of this publication is to show euroization as state (partly also as process), particularly on the examples of Lithuania and Poland. It obviously it does not seem new, but many changes in the world economy (with special regard to the crisis hurting the European Union) and the lower enthusiasm for joining the Euroland (euro zone) show the need to consider such a problem.

Minority Employment

The influence of the social environment on the careers of disadvantaged minority employees is examined via a participant-observation case study. Trainees are followed from entry into an institutional training program, placement into the parent company, and through their first intracompany promotion. Sponsorship is shown to be critical to success throughout these career stages. The interaction of sponsorship with individual behavior and the technological-economic job environment is described, indicating that sponsorship and individual behavior are closely related, and that the job structure constrains the formation of sponsorship relations. It is suggested that present employment efforts aimed at personal change of disadvantaged individuals may be misplaced, whereas a strategy of equalizing sponsorship networks for minority and non-minority employees may prove more effective. Suggestions are made for equalizing access to sponsorship networks.

Western Tanzania

Opening ParagraphThe Nyakyusa of south-western Tanzania have received very substantial ethnographic coverage. Nonetheless there remain certain gaps in our knowledge of this society. The field-work by Dr. Godfrey Wilson and Professor Monica Wilson was done largely in the mid 1930s before structural-functional analysis had achieved its present refinement and was evidently influenced by Malinowski who was not himself known for a concern in sociological analysis per se. In these studies of the Nyakyusa, values, beliefs, and ritual were a main object of attention; they present Nyakyusa society as though it were a direct result of the Nyakyusa value system, although the actual workings of the society have been left rather obscure. It is presented as coherent, values and social organization reinforcing each other at every point. But internal evidence contradicts this picture, and on a priori grounds it may also be seen that there were several structural pressures towards incoherence, or rather, conflict between the actual development of social organization through time and those presumably timeless values reputed to maintain it.

Sufficient Strength

When an individual acts contrary to personal values, then there is dissonance, with consequences of guilt, anxiety, despair, or alienation. If unresolved and of sufficient strength these feelings may manifest in mental illness. Thus, clarification of values and resolution of value conflict are relevant to counselling and psychotherapy. A framework for the systematic examination of values in therapy is described. Values are classified as personal, social, environmental and sensate. In therapy, goals may be matched for congruence between personal values and overt behaviour. Processes which erode values and ways to maintain integrity of personal value systems are considered.

Moral Nature

The American value system has undergone a recent and pervasive transformation. The immediate cause has been “the organizational imperative”: the primary values absolutely necessary for modern organization. This essay analyzes the organizational imperative: its a priori propositions, its rules for behavior, and its administrative norms. Particular attention is given to its impact on social values, for the organizational imperative has transformed them into supportive administrative norms. This is of concern because it has made us a significantly different people than we presumed we would be. The new values pose serious questions about their compatibility with traditional assumptions about the innate moral nature of man.

The trend towards foreign investments in Serbia has been in rapid progress in recent years. The biggest and most valuable numbers of investments are coming from Italy. The authors’ expectation is that the trend of Italian investments in future will continue; therefore it is of high importance for the representatives of both countries’ business sectors to under-stand and accept differences and similarities to the other country’s business culture. Research of cultural differences between two nations , which are considered like a frame of business culture, helps avoiding possible misunderstandings and improving business cooperation be-tween two countries. Having in mind students of economics and management, on one hand like future leaders of Italian and Serbian business and on other like representatives of the cur-rent education value system in the field of economics and management, this study consists of an application of the 7-D Hofstede Model. The application of the model takes place through the administration of two surveys done by students of Serbian Megatrend University, in Bel-grade, and Italian Università degli Studi Gabriele d’Annunzio, in Pescara

Value System

This paper explores and contrasts the gender value systems of two groups of anti-school boys. It suggests that cultural differences in specifically gender values can lead to (i) polarisation between anti-school boys and (ii) confrontation with school authorities in ways not explained by the traditional theory of culture clash between the working class pupil and the middle class school. It is also noted that the label ‘counter-school’ used by Willis to convey the culture of some working class boys (‘the lads’) may need to be refined if the culture is reassessed in a way which acknowledges the commonality between the gender value systems of ‘the lads’ and those of the school. In fact, the research reported in this paper found that another group of anti-school boys (not working class) was much more counter the gender value system of the school than ‘the lads’ and did not uphold traditional masculine values.

Professional Self

Swift changes in the educational sphere call for the teachers to unlock their professional and personal potential. At the same time, effectiveness of teachers’ professional potential is directly related to their individual axiological choices and reorientation of personal value system in the context of reforms that are under way in the higher education system. The most relevant ability of the day is the ability to lay down the most significant professional goals and to reveal within the role requirements new meaningful ideas and values, which would form a basis for their self-actualization.
