El present treball aborda la promoció de la salut psicosocial des del paradigma de la resiliència i les aportacions de la logoteràpia de Viktor Frankl. El seu objectiu ha estat descriure i analitzar com es desenvolupa un procés resilient en l'àmbit laboral docent. Concretament, es descriu el procés de canvi experimentat per un institut d'educació secundària enfrontat a un context de dificultat i de quina manera ha estat capaç de renéixer i sortir-ne enfortit. Hem analitzat com s'activa el procés resilient, la naturalesa dels factors implicats, la relació que s'estableix entre aquests i com interactuen per aconseguir una adaptació positiva. Hem optat per una metodologia qualitativa mitjançant un mètode d'estudi de casos d'orientació etnogràfica.El treball aporta un model d'anàlisi del procés resilient que ha resultat útil per precisar el concepte de resiliència en l'àmbit laboral així com per integrar les dades recollides en el treball de camp. En les conclusions es discuteix el paper de la dimensió noètica o espiritual, la recerca del sentit i la vinculació positiva en l'activació del procés resilient. Igualment s'emfasitza la importància del lideratge i la interacció existent entre la resiliència personal i la organitzativa. També s'apunten possibles estratègies per potenciar, facilitar o estimular el procés resilient en una situació laboral. Finalment, s'examinen les repercussions de l'activació d'un procés resilient en la promoció de la salut laboral.
El presente trabajo aborda la promoción de la salud psicosocial desde el paradigma de la resiliencia y las aportaciones de la logoterapia de Víktor Frankl. Su objetivo ha sido describir y analizar cómo se desarrolla un proceso resiliente en el ámbito laboral docente. Concretamente, se describe el proceso de cambio experimentado por un instituto de educación secundaria enfrentado a un contexto de dificultad y de qué manera ha sido capaz de renacer y salir fortalecido. Hemos analizado cómo se activa el proceso resiliente, la naturaleza de los factores implicados, la relación que se establece entre éstos y cómo interactúan para lograr una adaptación positiva. Hemos optado por una metodología cualitativa mediante un método de estudio de casos de orientación etnográfica.
El trabajo aporta un modelo de análisis del proceso resiliente que ha resultado útil para precisar el concepto de resiliencia en el ámbito laboral, así como para integrar la información recogida en el trabajo de campo. En las conclusiones se discute el papel de la dimensión noética o espiritual, la búsqueda del sentido y la vinculación positiva en la activación del proceso resiliente. Igualmente se enfatiza la importancia del liderazgo y la interacción existente entre la resiliencia personal y la organizativa. También se apuntan posibles estrategias para potenciar, facilitar o estimular el proceso resiliente en una situación laboral. Finalmente, se examinan las repercusiones de la activación de un proceso resiliente en la promoción de la salud laboral.
The present work tackles psychosocial health's promotion through resilience's paradigm and Viktor Frankl logotherapy's contributions. Its aim has been to describe and to analyze how a resilient process is developed in the educational labour environment. Concretely, it describes the change process experienced by a secondary school faced by a difficult context and in what way it has been able to be reborn and to leave strengthened. We have analyzed how the resilient process is activated, the nature of the implied factors, the relationship that is settled down among these and how they interact in order to achieve a positive adaptation. We have opted for a qualitative methodology by means of an ethnographic orientated case study method.
The work contributes an analysis model of the resilient process that has been useful to specify the resilience concept in the labour environment, as well as to integrate the picked up information in the field work. In the conclusions it discusses the noethic or spiritual dimension, the search for meaning and the positive linking in the activation of the resilient process. It is equally emphasized the importance of leadership and the existing interaction between personal and organizational resilience. Possible strategies are also suggested for strengthening, facilitating or stimulating the resilient process in a labour situation. Finally, repercussions of resilient process activation are examined in the promotion of labour health.
In der hier vorliegenden Doktorarbeit geht es um die Förderung der psychosozialen Gesundheit, ausgehend von dem Resilienzparadigma und Viktor Frankls Logoteraphie. Ziel der Arbeit ist die Beschreibung und Analyse, wie sich ein Resililenzablauf im Lehrarbeitszusammenhang entwickelt. Im Konkreten wird der Wandelprozess beschrieben, den eine Realschule in einem Schwierigkeitszussammenhang erfährt und wie sie wiedergeboren und erstarkt aus dieser Situation hervorgehen könnte. Wir haben analysiert, wie der Resilienzablauf aktiviert wird, die Natur der betroffenen Faktoren, die zwischen ihnen begründete Beziehung, und wie sie interagieren, um eine positive Anpassung zu erreichen. Wir haben uns für eine qualitative Methodologie entschieden, mittels einer ethnographisch orientierten Fallstudie.
Die Arbeit liefert ein Untersuchungsleitbild des Resilienzablaufs, das bei der Präzisierung des Resilienzbegriffs im Arbeitsbereich, sowie für die Integration der in der Vorortarbeit gesammelten Daten als nützlich erwiesen hat. In den Schlussfolgerungen wird über die Rolle der nicht-ethischen oder geistlichen Dimension, die Sinnsuche und die positive Verbindung in der Resilienzablaufsaktivierung diskutiert. Ebenfalls wird die Bedeutung der Führung und der vorhandene Interaktion zwischen die eigenen und der organisatorischen Resilienz betont. Ferner werden mögliche Strategien vorgestellt, um den Resilienzablauf in einer Arbeitssituation zu verstärken, zu ermöglichen oder zu motivieren. Schlieβlich werden die Auswirkungen der Aktivierung eines Resilienzablaufs in der Förderung der Arbeitsgesundheit übergeprüft.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Carlos Llano fue filósofo y empresario. Tiene muchos estudios sobre ambas disciplinas. En él filosofía y Business no son elementos antitéticos o extraños, van de la mano.
De formación claramente clásica y escolástica. En ella encuentra muchas veces la manera de resolver cuestiones de management, especialmente dirigida a la acción directiva.
Nos hemos centrado en el estudio filosófico-antropológico de la acción. Llano está claramente encuadrado dentro de aquellos que están recuperando las nociones de una ética de la virtud. Se han tratado todos los libros en los que Carlos Llano trata directa o indirectamente sobre la acción. Algunos de un marcado carácter filosófico y otros más empresariales.
Del estudio han salido importantes aportaciones: la idea ejemplar, la circularidad de la razón práctica (deseo inteligente, inteligencia deseosa), la autoconfiguración del agente que decide… En todas ellas se remarca el papel protagonista de la voluntad que no se limita a seguir simplemente el dictado de la inteligencia sino que tiene una autonomía propia imprescindible para la acción.
Se han recopilado, estudiado y ordenado todos los elementos necesarios para la comprensión de la teoría de la acción propuesta por Carlos Llano.
Carlos Llano es un reconocida autoridad académica y empresarial, especialmente en el mundo latinoamericano. Fundador y rector de la Universidad Panamericana como también del IPADE Business School. Es por tanto un autor contemporáneo no despreciable.
Su marcada formación aristotélico-tomista hacen de sus aportaciones al mundo de la antropología y del managemet una alternativa sugerente y atractiva.
La autoconfiguración del agente que decide. Decide la persona y no la inteligencia o la voluntad. Concepto de marcada raíz aristotélica (deseo inteligente, inteligencia deseosa). Implícitamente recupera también la noción de la vida como un todo, la noción de fin último, de virtud…
Se recogen algunas de las implicaciones que sus estudios éticos-antropológicos han tenido en sus propuestas de management: management by objectives, los fines y elementos fundamentales de la empresa, servir ganando-ganar sirviendo…

The experiment was conducted at the Experimental Station of CEPLAC, located in the South of Bahia State (CEPLAC/CEPEC/ESSUL), set as a entirely randomized design with 6 treatments and 3 repetitions. The treatments consisted of 2 pastures, one of grassonly Brachiaria humidicola (Rendle) Schweickt, and the other of B. humidicola consorted with Desmodium ovalifolium Wall cv. Itabela, each grazed at 3 different stocking rates of 2, 3 and 4 animals per hectare. Estimates of animal intake under grazing were made at two occasions during the year (August and November of 1995). Six oesophagus-fistulated steers were used for sampling of the consumed forage, and 36 animals were fed with 10 g of Cr2O3 each day, for 21 days. The ?in vitro? digestibility of dry matter, total nitrogen, and natural abundance of 13C were analyzed in the fistula samples. At the same time, the productivity of the pastures and their botanical composition was measured. The presence of the legume D. ovalifolium in the pastures of B. humidicola increased the protein content of the forage ingested by the animals by 64%. The dry matter intake was affected negatively by the presence of the legume due to its low palatability, however the proportion of the legume in the diet was quite significant (27 to 62%), being highest in the higher stocking rates due to the more restricted selectivity of the grazing animals. At the lower stocking rate there was a larger proportion of the legume in forage on offer. The total protein intake by the animals was higher in mixed pastures, but that didn't provide a better animal performance due to low digestibility of the legume. The rate of decomposition was very rapid (k ~ -0.081 and 0.060g g-1 day-1) P and K, and annual rates of P turnover through the litter pathway were between 13.7 and 13.2 kg P ha-1 year-1. In the grass-only pastures, as stocking rate increased from 2 to 3 head ha-1, P recycled in the litter decreased by 11%, but a further increase to 4 head ha-1 decreased P recycling by 6%, suggesting that beyond a certain critical level higher grazing stocking rates would lead to pasture decline if there was no N addition. High stocking rates decreased proportion of the legume in the sward, but at all rates the concentration of P in both the green and dead grass, in the forage on offer and in the litter, was higher in the mixed sward. The presence of legume in the litter resulted in increases in P and K recycled via litter deposition varying from 12.5 to 14.3 kg P ha-1 year-1 and 25.0 to 37.6 kg K ha-1 year--1.
Esse experimento foi conduzido na Esta??o Experimental de Zootecnia do Extremo Sul da Bahia (ESSUL/CEPEC/CEPLAC) obedecendo a um delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, com 6 tratamentos e 3 repeti??es. Os tratamentos foram estabelecidos segundo um fatorial 2 x 3, com 2 pastagens, Brachiaria humidicola (Rendle) Schweickt em monocultura e B. humidicola consorciada com Desmodium ovalifolium Wall cv. Itabela, e 3 taxas de lota??o, 2, 3 e 4 cabe?as por hectare. A estimativa do consumo animal em pastejo foi avaliada em 2 ?pocas do ano (agosto e novembro de 1995). Utilizaram-se 6 animais bovinos es?fago-fistulados para a retirada das extrusas (dietas consumidas) e 36 bovinos foram dosados com 10 g de Cr2O3 por dia, durante 21 dias. A digestibilidade ?in vitro? da mat?ria seca e a abund?ncia natural do 13C foram analisadas nas extrusas. Paralelamente, foram avaliadas a produtividade das pastagens e a sua composi??o bot?nica. O consumo de mat?ria seca foi afetado negativamente pela presen?a da leguminosa D. ovalifolium nas pastagens de B. humidicola devido ? sua baixa palatabilidade, por?m a propor??o da leguminosa na dieta consumida foi bastante significativa, sendo maior nas taxas de lota??o mais elevadas onde a seletividade dos animais foi mais restrita, apesar do fato de que na menor taxa de lota??o havia uma maior propor??o da leguminosa na forragem em oferta. O menor consumo de forragem observado nas pastagens consorciadas, n?o proporcionou menor desempenho animal, provavelmente devido ? maior oferta de prote?na oferecida pela leguminosa. As altas taxas de lota??o provocaram uma diminui??o na propor??o de leguminosas na forragem em oferta, entretanto em todas as taxas de lota??o a concentra??o de P na gram?nea verde e seca da forragem em oferta e da liteira foi maior nas pastagens consorciadas. A taxa de decomposi??o da liteira foi muito elevada, cerca de 0,081 e 0,060 g g-1 dia-1, para P e K respectivamente, acarretando uma deposi??o anual de P pela liteira entre 13,2 e 13,7 kg P ha-1 ano-1. Nas pastagens em monocultura, os aumentos na taxa de lota??o de 2 para 3 animais ha-1 e de 3 para 4 animais ha-1 causaram decr?scimos na reciclagem de P na liteira de respectivamente, 11 e 6%.Provavelmente essas altas taxas de lota??o provocam um decl?nio das pastagens devido ? menor adi??o de P ao sistema solo. A presen?a da leguminosa nas pastagens provocou um aumento significativo na reciclagem de P pela deposi??o da liteira variando de 12,5 a 14,3 kg P ha-1 ano-1 e 25,0 a 37,6 kg K ha-1 ano-1.

Abstract
Purpose: A part of this research is to explore if there are partnership firms that voluntarily get an audit of their business. The purpose is to understand and explain why these partnership firms have chosen to get an audit of their business voluntarily. Additionally, the authors research how external stakeholders, such as creditors, view and assess partnership firms that do not execute an audit of their accounts and reports.
Method: To initiate this research, the authors conducted a telephone survey as a pre-study, to assure the viability of this research. As a major part of this research study, qualitative interviews with partnership firms, banks and the Swedish Tax Agency have been conducted to obtain professional opinion in the subject of interest. Previous researches are presented to provide a broader perspective of the debate.
Frame of
Reference: The authors present an extensive background to auditing and accounting. Stakeholder model and agency theory have been applied to facilitate in understanding the relationship between a partnership firm and its stakeholders. Advantages and disadvantages of auditing, as well as the concept of voluntary auditing are presented to facilitate a discussion of the motives of voluntarily executing an audit firms.
Conclusion: After extensive research the authors have identified and determined the most probable motives of voluntary audits as well as understood how these external stakeholders view and assess these partnership firms that do not execute an audit of their accounts and reports. The authors can after a broad research conclude that partners’ central motives to voluntary auditing is to seek the value that is added through it, as the firm obtains professional assistance to raise the credibility of the firm’s financial reports. Auditing frees them from additional burden and time to manage the work related to accounting records and enables them to devote more time to the core business.
Through an audit, partners’ quest for orderliness is fulfilled. Moreover, indications have been seen that partners are open to voluntarily execute an audit to achieve a sense of security in relation to the other partners. Another essential motive to why partners voluntarily execute audits is to be assured that there are no significant inaccuracies or errors in their book-keeping. Overall, partners’ intentions of getting an audit of their accounts and reports are to gain an overview of the business as well to obtain enhanced business image externally.
Creditors are concerned about a firm’s ability to reimburse the obligation. In a newly started firm, banks require annual reports, forecasts and budgets ensure the firm’s solvency. The Swedish Tax Agency receives audit reports from auditors that guide them with hints and directions on what to assess further. Moreover, the Swedish Tax Agency performs tax audits on firms, whereby they conduct an assessment to ensure that the accounts and other documents are in accordance with what is declared to them.
Sammanfattning
Syfte: Avsikten med denna uppsats är att utforska om det finns handelsbolag som frivilligt upprättar revision i sin affärsverksamhet. Syftet är att få förståelse för samt förklara de bakomliggande motiven till handelsbolags val av frivillig revision. Författarna utforskar ytterligare hur externa parter, såsom kreditgivare samt skatteverket, granskar och ser på handelsbolag som inte upprättar revision på sin verksamhet.
Metod: Författarna genomförde en förstudie i form av en telefonenkät, för att försäkra sig om att denna studie är genomförbar. För att erhålla en professionell åsikt kring ämnet i fråga, har denna studie till största del bestått av kvalitativa intervjuer med respondenter från delägare av handelsbolag, banker och skatteverket. Tidigare studier är även presenterade för att tillföra debatten ett bredare perspektiv.
Referensram: Författarna ger en omfattande beskrivning av redovisning och revision. Intressentmodellen och agentteorin har tillämpats i syfte att underlätta förståelsen av relationen mellan företag och dess intressenter. Dessutom beskrivs för- och nackdelar av revision för att underlätta diskussionen kring motiven till frivillig revision i handelsbolag.
Slutsats: Författarna har efter omfattande forskning fastställt de troligaste motiven till frivillig revision samt fått en djupare förståelse för bankernas och skatteverkets ståndpunkt och granskning av handelsbolag som inte är revisionspliktiga. Sammanfattningsvis kan författarna hävda att grundmotiven till frivillig revision är värdet som den tillför, då bolagen erhåller professionell samråd som höjer redovisningens trovärdighet i bolaget. Revision underlättar för delägarna då de inte behöver ta på sig bördan av att tillägna tid och kraft på att själva utföra bokföringen. Detta tillåter delägarna i sin tur att ägna mer tid till själva kärnverksamheten. Genom revision, fullgörs delägarnas strävan efter ordning och reda i bolaget. För övrigt har man sett indikationer på att delägarna är positivt inställda på att frivilligt upprätta revision i handelsbolagen, då revisionen bidrar till att de erhåller en känsla av trygghet. Ett annat motiv, är att revisionen försäkrar dem om det inte förekommer väsentliga felaktigheter eller misstag i boksluten. Delägarnas främsta avsikt till användandet av revision kan i det stora hela summeras till att de får en översiktsbild av sina bolag, såväl som att de erhåller en kvalitetsstämpel och därmed en förhöjd bild av bolaget utåt sett. Kreditgivare är angelägna över bolagens återbetalningsförmåga. Därför kräver banken att nystartade bolag ska framföra sin årsredovisning, budget och framtida prognoser, för att försäkra sig om och fastställa deras återbetalningsförmåga. Skatteverket mottar årsredovisningar från revisorer, som med fördel förser skatteverket med råd och vägledning kring eventuell vidare granskning i bolagen. Skatteverket utför därtill skatterevision, genom att de granskar bolagen i syfte att intyga att de presenterade räkenskaperna och rapporterna överensstämmer med det som har deklarerats och kommit till skatteverkets förfogande.

López, Zarzosa Helia. "Chilean voluntary repatriation, 1978-2002 : how voluntary, how gendered and how classed?" Thesis, Oxford Brookes University, 2011. https://radar.brookes.ac.uk/radar/items/8e646a2d-0142-46a0-8684-886d794b870a/2/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This evidence-based study is about Chilean voluntary repatriation as a political process rooted in the political history of Chile and in the wider context of the end of the Cold War. It considers the two main socio-political scenarios of the Pinochet dictatorship (1973-1990) and transitional democracy (1990-) but also brings the interim years of 1988-1990 to the fore. It focuses on the voluntary, class and gender dimensions of voluntary repatriation, arguing that decisions to return are not the product of individual choices or factors as argued in most of the literature, but influenced by a complex interplay of structures operating at the macro and micro levels. Chilean hegemonic institutions such as political parties, the Catholic Church and the family as well as patriotism along with class and gender shaped these decisions. Return discourses such as El Derecho a vivir en 10 patria, later replaced by Chile Somos Todos, were rooted in such matrix. In explaining voluntary repatriation, this study introduces a new concept to the field: the notion of returnism as a political narrative of nationhood and return-control mechanism that succesfully interwove both micro and macro levels in the exilio-retorno compression. A key finding is that the very hegemonic structures that were in place before and during exile were not only reproduced and strengthened during the dictatorship but were also used against it and termed here the like with like argument. Through the socio-political developments that took place both in Chile and exile, this study analyses the experiences of returnees. For this purpose, secondary concepts are introduced. The analysis explains why some returnees 'succeeded' and others 'failed' to find a place in Chilean society and shows paradoxically that voluntary repatriation was more sustainable under dictatorship. Overall, class and gender positioning are determinant in the 'end of the refugee cycle'.

Yeigh, Maika J. "Does Voluntary Reading Matter? The Influences of Voluntary Reading on Student Achievement". PDXScholar, 2014. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/1786.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Does voluntary reading matter? While there is much known about the benefits to children who engage in sustained silent reading, commercial reading programs implemented as a result of No Child Left Behind often displace time for children to silently read (NCLB, 2002). An increase in the amount of time children spend with a commercial reading program has meant a decrease in time provided for in-school voluntary reading during the elementary literacy block (Brenner & Hiebert, 2010). This quantitative study used the 2011 restricted-use National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) data to determine whether opportunities provided to children for in-school voluntary reading impacted fourth-grade students' achievement levels. The study also considered whether there were differences in the amount of time provided for in-school voluntary reading and choice in reading material to children of differing income levels and ethnic backgrounds. Contingency tables and a multiple linear regression model were used to find associations between achievement data and questionnaire responses. Findings concluded that children who qualified to participate in the National School Lunch Program, as well as Black, Hispanic, and Native American children, have fewer opportunities to silently read, and choose their own books during the school day. For most children, there was a positive relationship between time and choice in reading at school with achievement scores. Black, Hispanic, and Native American children experienced a commercial reading program at a higher rate than their white and Asian peers; there were no detected differences in reading program structure based on economic affluence. The discussion includes consideration of time to silent read at school and choice in reading material as a part of an "opportunity gap" (Darling-Hammond, 2013) that causes disparities in the quality of education provided to children from different backgrounds, and which could also be a factor to the larger achievement gap. Policy implications are discussed.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In recent years, the search for regulatory regimes in order to effectively address human
induced climate change have become a prominent political and academic issue. Emission
trading schemes have risen in popularity and are widely believed to be an effective, as well as
economically efficient, measure and have become a favoured government strategy. On the
individual level, many individuals in the industrialised nations now undertake actions to offset
their personal direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by voluntarily purchasing carbon
credits, normally in association with product or service purchase. While this is a fast growing
market, advertised as creating a carbon neutral consumer society, the voluntary carbon credit
sector raises fundamental problems with respect to verification and credibility of the claimed
offsets and associated projects. Lack of regulation and legal oversight leads to the
impossibility of actually obtaining or verifying information on the consequences of voluntary
credit purchases. Providers of offset credits who are driven by greed and easy profits will
underfunded emissions abatement projects and pay little attention to quality standards.
Corporate "green washing" is also likely through voluntary offsets marketed as going carbon
neutral.
This paper connects voluntary offsets to psychological and behavioural impacts on the
individual. We identify three specific issues: the psychology of marketing and purchasing of
voluntary offsets, commodification and crowding out of intrinsic motivations and the implicit
ethics with its own psychological implications. We also discuss the political economy of
voluntary carbon markets and their geo-political implications in terms of the global North-
South divide and ethical responsibility for action on human induced climate change. This
raises serious concerns over the individualisation of a collective problem, what can and
should be expected of individuals as ethical consumers and how markets operate in practice.
Such aspects place individual behaviour within a broader social and institutional context that
questions the trend in market environmentalism and its impacts on the capability of humans to
relate to nature. (authors' abstract)Series: SRE - Discussion Papers

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Since Sweden has one of the most comprehensive welfare states, the role of voluntary organizations active in the field of welfare is often neglected. The unique Swedish nonprofit sector is characterized by 1) the tradition of popular mass movements in which members are central and the real owners of the organization, 2) large membership and volunteering, but low employment levels, 3) dominance in the fields of culture and recreation, but the relative marginalization in welfare. This Ph.D. dissertation empirically studies work and the perception of work in voluntary welfare organizations (VWOs) in Sweden. I completed a series of 38 interviews of employees and volunteers in four VWOs: 1) a children’s rights organization; 2) a women’s center; 3) a volunteer bureau; and 4) a humanitarian organization. A quantitative survey of some 200 VWOs supplements the qualitative data. Looking at the internal work setting and interactions between workers one realizes that work in VWOs is influenced not only by the popular mass movements (folkrörelser), which are the foundation model of all Swedish voluntary organizations, but also by paradigms emerging out of the public and for-profit sectors: 1) the public paradigm permanently shapes voluntary welfare organizations through the action of paid workers who often have public sector work experience; and 2) work in voluntary organizations is partly integrated into the regular labor market, and interfaces emerge between volunteering and professional life (for-profit paradigm). The private sphere also interferes with volunteering. Finally, this sheds a new light on the claims of VWOs that they are autonomous, “free” entities, and their contribution to social integration and strengthening of social ties.

Besich, John. "Job embeddedness versus traditional models of voluntary turnover: A test of voluntary turnover prediction". Thesis, University of North Texas, 2005. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc4977/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Voluntary turnover has historically been a problem for today's organizations. Traditional models of turnover continue to be utilized in a number of ways in both academia and industry. A newer model of turnover, job embeddedness, has recently been developed in an attempt to better predict voluntary turnover than existing models. Job embeddedness consists of organizational fit, organizational sacrifice, and organizational links. The purpose of this study is to two fold. First, psychometric analyses were conducted on the job embeddedness model. Exploratory factor analyses were conducted on the dimensions of job embeddedness, which revealed a combined model consisting of five factors. This structure was then analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis, assessing a 1, 3, and 5 factor model structure. The confirmatory factor analysis established the use of the 5 factor model structure in subsequent analysis in this study. The second purpose of this study is to compare the predictive power of the job embeddedness model versus that of the traditional models of turnover. The traditional model of turnover is comprised of job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and perceived job alternatives. In order to compare the predictive power of the job embeddedness and traditional model of voluntary turnover, a series of structural equation model analyses were conducting using LISREL. The job embeddedness model, alone, was found to be the best fit with the sample data. This fit was improved over the other two models tested (traditional model and the combination of the traditional and job embeddedness model). In addition to assessing which model better predicts voluntary turnover, it was tested which age group and gender is a better fit with the job embeddedness model. It was found that the job embeddedness model better predicts turnover intention for older respondents and males.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Esta investigación se centra en el estudio de la finalización de la relación laboral producto de la extinción del contrato de trabajo causada por voluntad del empleador.
El objetivo del presente trabajo es lograr que cualquier trabajador tenga presente las
consecuencias de culminar su contrato, conociendo las indemnizaciones y liquidación final que le corresponderían.
Para lograr las metas planteadas resulta necesario: partir de la base y conocer qué es un contrato de trabajo, cuáles son sus partes y la evolución del trabajo en los últimos años a nivel mundial y nacional. También es menester poder comparar nuestra
legislación con algunos países del Mercosur, para sacar conclusiones y valorar las oportunidades que nuestra Ley nos brinda.
Por otro lado, se observa la importancia de determinar las distintas causas de la extinción del contrato por voluntad del empleador. En tal sentido se procedió a ejemplificar distintas situaciones ocurridas con respecto a la extinción del contrato de trabajo, realizado sus respectivas liquidaciones finales.Fil: Campos, Margarita Elisabeth.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Il s'agit d'une recherche du droit privé romain, en l'occurrence le rôle de la volonté dans le droit des contrats romain. La question de la voluntas est bien connue en matière successorale. Mais il semble qu'elle ne soit pas méconnue du droit des contrats, en effet, l'influence de la volonté ne saurait concerner que les seuls contrats consensuels. Il est manifeste qu'elle intervient aussi en matière de contrats formels ou réels. Cette prise en compte de la volonté semble être l'oeuvre de la jurisprudence romaine. Il s'agit d'analyser les casus des jurisconsultes afin de déterminer le rôle et la portée qu'ils donnent à la volonté des parties. Les principales sources à exploiter sont les Institutes de Gaius, l'édit du prêteur, le Digeste, le Code et les Institutes de Justinien. La recherche concerne le droit classique romain (IIe siècle av. J.C. - IIIe siècle ap. J.C.), et selon les résultats obtenus, elle pourrait s'étendre au droit postclassique (IVe - début VIe), et au droit de Justinien (VIe)This is a study of Roman private law, more precisely of the role of will in Roman contract law. The question of voluntas is well-known among inheritance matters. But it seems not to be unknown in contract law as well. Indeed, will does not only concern consensual contracts. It clearly also occurs in real or formal contracts. This taking into account of will seems to be the result of Roman jurisprudence. Cases of jurisconsults have to be analyzed in order to determine the role and the relevance they give to the will of the different parties. The main sources which have to be exploited are the Institutes of Gaius, the Praetor’s Edict, the Digest, the Code and the Institutes of Justinian. The study focuses on classical Roman law (2nd century BC - 3rd century AD), and depending on the results, it could reach postclassical law (4th - beginning of 6th), and Justinian law (6th century)

The first political trame of the Venezuela urban history, established by "La Comisión Municipal de Urbanismo"in 1937;"La Dirección de Urbanismo","El Plan Monumental de Caracas' in 1939 and the 1952 and 1954 Caracas planimetry regulation plan, ruled the urban planning development and appointed a new social and institutional order.With the single-family house concept as a study unit, the first city densification process was established, following an open connected set of statutes and urban plans, during the 1945-1965 period.For which it is of undoubtedly testimonial value in the city's morphological growth. From the simplicity of Armando Reveron's El Castillete in 1920 and Carlos Raúl Villanueva's Caoma 1951-1952 and Sotavento 1957-1958 at the littoral central coast; as well as Dirk Bornhorst's Hato Hamburgo1956 and Klaus Heufer's Quinta 'H' 1960 in Caracas, are clear examples of the constructive outthrust in which the house is built using the single-family house concept.lnitial demonstrations that compose the spirit of the time and the starting point of this study. The analysis explores processes architectonic, considering as a fact what belongs to the local place. A method that will prove,which ones are the great 'invariants' that a culture transmits and how they can be used as materials of the project. The single-family house concept developed by a group of foreigners architects, concretes the notion of modern will. Some of them lived in Venezuela ,in the United States; others went back to Europe; but, all of them made multiple contributions out of the experience they brought from their countries of origin.The method (means,way) of interaction with the local scenery sets the introduction to the first steps of the project activity between the local people, the outsiders and the landscape. However,it is just only through the single-family house concept that the following personalities stand out: Jan Gorecki (1914), Russian origin; Klaus Heufer (1923) and Dirk Bornhorst (1927), both born in Germany; Richard Neutra (1892-1970), Austrian origin;Arthur Khan (1910) born in lstanbul, Turkey and finally: Gio Ponti (1897-1970), Domenico Fillipone(1903-1976), Athos Albertoni (1905-1977) and Guido Guazzo (1930), all of ltalian precedence.The significance of the whole process goes far beyond the constructive assorted offer; there existed a concentrated and significant amount of architectural requests at national level; mainly, impelled by and as a consequence of an intense and profitable oíl activity, between 1945 and 1965. During this period, the European architects, the Venezuelan ones and their clients, showed an ostensible national leadership. They constitute a generation that prompted the construction of a new stage in the local architecture.The typology of the single-family house projected by these professionals was driven in a particular way during the mentioned period, reached an important grade of development and a great conceptual and formal quality.Their own houses play a main role in the repertory that composes this investigation (investigative work) and with them,through them; we reach the point of defining the modern will in the single-family house concept. Over this ordered plan and putting into execution,we recognized the customs transmitted from one generation to another-the requirements and the mixture.The passing from the landed property colonial house toward the 'Quinta' and the modern single-family house concept, as a model of expansion of the city and under a plastic focalization at which the open plant is recognized as a principie of spatial organization, open forms, as a general concept.The court, as an architectonic element susceptible to new possibilities of interpretation.The modern will in the single-family house it's a permanent invitation to bring an interior habitable space to the exterior, which is so typical from Caracas and that indeed extended the space farther beyond the own limits of the volume.El primer marco político de la historia urbana venezolana que constituye la Comisión Municipal de Urbanismo en 1937, la Dirección de Urbanismo, el Plan Monumental de Caracas de 1939 y la información planimétrica del plan regulador de Caracas 1952 y 1954 regularon el desarrollo la planificación urbana del país y señalaron un nuevo orden social e institucional. Con la vivienda unifamiliar unidad de estudio se estableció la primera densificación de la ciudad siguiendo un conjunto abierto de ordenanzas y planes urbanos, durante el periodo de 1945 a 1965. Por lo que es indudable su valor testimonial en el desarrollo morfológico de la ciudad. Desde el sencillo Castillete 1920 de Armando Reverán, las casas de la ciudad y del litoral central tales como: Caoma 1951-52 y Sotavento 1957-58 de Carlos Raúl Villanueva, el Hato Hamburgo 1956, de Dirk Bornhorts y la Quinta "H" 1960, de Klaus Heufer son ejemplos del empuje constructivo en el que se hace la ciudad con la vivienda unifamiliar. Demostraciones iniciales que componen el espíritu de la época y el punto de partida de este estudio. El análisis explora procesos específicamente arquitectónicos, considerando como hecho clave lo que pertenece al lugar o viene de otro país. Un método que comprobará, cuáles son las grandes "invariantes" que una cultura transmite y de qué manera se pueden utilizar como materiales de proyecto. La vivienda unifamiliar desarrollada por un grupo de profesionales foráneos concretan la noción de voluntad moderna. Algunos se radicaron en Venezuela, en los Estados Unidos; otros regresaron a Europa, pero todos hicieron múltiples contribuciones a partir de la experiencia que traían desde sus lugares de origen. El medio de interacción con el paisaje es la introducción de los primeros pasos de la actividad proyectual entre el hombre local, los forasteros y el paisaje. Sin embargo, solo a través de los proyectos de viviendas unifamiliares se destacan las siguientes personalidades: Jan Gorecki (1914) de origen ruso; Klaus Heufer (1923) y Dirk Bornhorst (1927) -ambos nacidos en Alemania; Richard Neutra (1892-1970), de origen austríaco; Arthur Kahn (1910) nacido en Estambul, Turquía; y finalmente, Gio Ponti (1897-1970), Domenico Fillipone (1903-1976), Athos Albertoni (1905-1977) y Guido Guazzo (1930), todos de procedencia italiana. La significación va más allá del surtido constructivo: existió una concentración de encargos a nivel nacional como una consecuencia impulsada por la actividad petrolera entre 1945 y 1965. Durante este periodo los arquitectos europeos, los arquitectos venezolanos y junto con los clientes, ostentaron un sólido liderazgo nacional. Constituyen la generación que impulsó la construcción de una nueva etapa de la arquitectura local. La tipología de la vivienda unifamiliar proyectada por estos profesionales fue impulsada de forma particular en el lapso señalado, alcanzó un importante grado de desarrollo y gran calidad conceptual y formal. Sus propias viviendas forman parte del repertorio de esta investigación y con ellas se logra definir la voluntad moderna en la vivienda unifamiliar. Sobre este planteamiento de ordenación se reconocen las costumbres que se trasmitieron de generación en generación -los resquisios y la mezcla-. El paso de la casa de hacienda colonial hacia la quinta y la casa unifamiliar moderna como modelo de expansión de la ciudad bajo un enfoque plástico en el que se reconoce el empleo de la planta libre como un principio organización espacial, las formas abiertas, como un concepto general. El patio, como elemento arquitectónico susceptible a nuevas posibilidades de interpretación. La voluntad moderna en la vivienda unifamiliar. La benevolencia del clima tropical constituye una invitación a llevar el espacio habitable del interior al exterior que son tan caraqueños como tropicales y que en efecto extendieron el espacio más allá de los propios límites del volumen

DENNIS, STEPHEN RICHARD. "VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP OF OUTDOOR RECREATIONISTS". Diss., The University of Arizona, 1987. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/184018.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Social researchers have independently investigated behaviors in voluntary association membership and participation in outdoor recreation activities. A small amount of scholarly work has theorized a link between activity in voluntary associations and recreation behavior. These studies have concentrated on the associational affiliations of outdoor recreationists, and their concern for the environment. The purpose of this study was to determine if differences exist between outdoor recreationists who are members of environmental/outdoor recreation voluntary associations, and those who are nonmembers. Organizational membership was designated as the dependent variable. Independent variables were designed to assess (1) incentives for voluntary association membership, (2) motivations for participation in outdoor recreation activities, (3) environmental concern, and (4) social class. A random sample of outdoor recreationists was drawn from the California membership of a large recreational equipment cooperative (R.E.I. Co-op). Data were collected by mail survey. Of the 1500 questionnaires sent, thirty-four were undeliverable, and 1085 were returned for a response rate of 74.0 percent. The sample reflected a substantially higher organizational membership level than the general population with a forty percent membership rate. Members were differentiated from nonmembers by significantly higher ratings on (1) instrumental incentives (public goods) for membership in voluntary associations, (2) intellectual motivations for participation in outdoor recreation, (3) environmental concern, and (4) age and education level. A discriminant function analysis identified instrumental incentives as the most powerful predictor of organizational membership. Results indicated public goods are a primary incentive for outdoor recreationists to join voluntary associations. This suggests a need to re-define instrumental benefits in light of the personal values associated with them. A common thread of intellectual pursuit distinguished members from nonmembers. Intellectual motivations for outdoor recreation, education level, age and environmental concern provided evidence that members are somewhat more oriented toward intellectual development, suggesting that environmental and outdoor recreation-related voluntary associations might benefit from focusing on the educational benefits of membership, and directing promotional communications through channels used by outdoor recreationists. Given the findings of a strong relationship between outdoor recreation and voluntary association membership, further scholarly work should concentrate on the instrumental and intellectual benefits of both behaviors to promote understanding of their synergy.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis presents an archaeological, historical, and ethnohistorical study of the nineteenth-century BaPhuthi, a peripatetic, horticulturist chiefdom with a political economy premised upon cattle raiding and active in southern Africa's Maloti-Drakensberg Mountains. The BaPhuthi appear as a valuable case study for exploring how 'tribes' and cultural identities (particularly when rooted in subsistence strategies) are historically and archaeologically constructed. Firstly, the thesis explores how eighteenth- and nineteenth-century sociocultural taxonomies were crafted by colonists and colonial subjects alike, with ethnonyms acting as ciphers for political and economic behaviours and locational traits rather than emic identifications. The BaPhuthi's choice to combine traits of hierarchical chiefdoms with pronounced mobility and heterodox, 'outlaw' activities (i.e. voluntarily becoming barbarians) confounded these taxa, as the BaPhuthi failed to conform to expectations of forager, farmer, chiefly, or 'savage' behaviour, rendering them historically marginal or invisible. The thesis thus employs a range of archival evidence to reconstruct BaPhuthi lifeways and historical trajectories. The BaPhuthi emerged and thrived in the borderlands between Moshoeshoe I's Basotho state, the eastern Cape Colony, and the Orange Free State: they exploited the ambiguities of colonial authority to build an extensive network of alliances premised upon cattle raiding, aided by their ability to turn the inhospitable terrain of the Maloti-Drakensberg to their advantage. This analysis illuminates the BaPhuthi as a culturally hybrid, ethnogenetic polity that attracted and discharged a disparate following as needed, while maintaining a degree of solidarity and chiefly hierarchy. The thesis details the BaPhuthi's peripatetic settlement strategy: BaPhuthi leaders established multiple dispersed political seats throughout their territories south of the Senqu River, which they would frequently activate and deactivate, enabling them to settle their heterogeneous following within their territories. The thesis then explores archaeological corollaries of BaPhuthi lifeways: historical analysis suggests that the BaPhuthi's archaeological footprint would be ephemeral (despite their polity's regional significance), and archaeological approaches to Iron Age Farming Communities (based in the historical identities described above) currently do not fully accommodate polities such as the BaPhuthi. The thesis discusses a methodology designed to address the archaeology of the BaPhuthi polity and its results. Considering how the BaPhuthi fashioned a diverse, heterodox chiefdom that manipulated the ambiguities of colonial rule encourages re-visiting prevailing conceptions of how cultural identities and economies are rooted in contingent historical circumstances; drawing on comparative cases from North and South America suggests revising longstanding views of the Maloti-Drakensberg as a marginal colonial theatre and re-positioning heterodox actors as capable of influencing the terms of colonial encounters.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The high costs associated with turnover and the loss of skilled employees have a significant adverse effect on organizational performance. The loss of one skilled worker can cost 25-500% of an employee's salary with respect to replacement, training, and productivity. The purpose of this descriptive multiple case study was to explore strategies for frontline managers and human resource managers to reduce voluntary employee turnover. The sample consisted of 5 frontline supervisors and 6 human resource leaders with successful experience designing and implementing strategies to reduce voluntary employee turnover in 8 organizations in Orange County, Florida. The conceptual framework for this study was the competing values framework, which researchers have used to explore turnover in different settings. Methodological triangulation occurred from individual interviews, a focus group, and companies' documents. Interview data were analyzed using the modified van Kaam method and the constant comparative method. Analysis resulted in 4 themes (a) knowledge of your workforce, including what motivates your employees; (b) communication, including addressing communication barriers; (c) employee engagement, including leadership development; and (d) performance evaluations, including using a 360-degree feedback system. Social change implications include the potential to help human resource leaders align employee values with the organizational culture, thus increasing job satisfaction and decreasing voluntary employee turnover, which may contribute to lowering unemployment and minimizing the need for social services due to the loss of income.

En este trabajo comparamos la eficiencia de la votación por mayoría con producción endógena de información, tanto permitiendo como no permitiendo la abstención por parte de los votantes. Estudiamos elecciones en donde existe incerteza con respecto a cuál es el mejor candidato, aunque los votantes pueden adquirir información sobre sus alternativas a un costo. Analizamos esto bajo dos instituciones muy distintas, votación voluntaria y obligatoria, y encontramos que bajo ambas los votantes prácticamente no se informan. Sin embargo, bajo ciertas condiciones la información se agrega completamente y el mejor candidato es elegido. Encontramos que esta agregación de información es mayor bajo votación voluntaria y que, por lo tanto, ésta domina a la votación obligatoria.

Young, Derek Rutherford. "Voluntary recruitment in Scotland, 1914-1916". Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2001. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/8202/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The belief that Scotland showed undue patriotism by providing a high proportion of volunteers in 1914-16 needs to be looked at in a new light. While the New Armies of 1914-16 may have been volunteer in concept, they were not volunteer in actuality, and, while there was no doubt a proportion of men in Scotland, as elsewhere in the British Empire, who were prepared to come forward for purely altruistic or 'patriotic' ideals, the majority enlisted for more practical or realistic reasons. External forces either pushed or pulled those men and enticed or forced them to enlist. Previous analyses have been primarily top down. We know how many men served, and with what units, but not why. This thesis is an investigation of Scottish recruitment from the bottom up, to determine whether or not those who enlisted came from any particular section of Scottish society. This investigates and explains the driving forces behind voluntary recruitment in Scotland, August 1914 - December 1915, its methods, course taken, and its impact on the country as a whole.

Fenig, Guidon. "The voluntary contribution mechanism with complementarity". Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/58724.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This dissertation investigates the effect of complementarity in the private provision of public goods. The inclusion of complementarity in contributions transforms the classic voluntary contribution mechanism into a coordination game, in which we are able to study how different behavioral types interact. The first chapter generalizes the linear voluntary contribution mechanism case by allowing agents' contributions to be complements in production. When complementarity is sufficiently high, an additional full-contribution equilibrium emerges. We experimentally investigate subjects' behavior using a between-subject design that varies complementarity. When two equilibria exist, subjects tend to coordinate on contributions close to the efficient equilibrium. When complementarity is sizable but only a zero-contribution selfish-equilibrium exists, subjects persistently contribute above it. Observed choices and other nonchoice data indicate heterogeneity among subjects and two distinct types. Homo pecuniarius maximizes profits by best responding to beliefs, while Homo behavioralis identifies this strategy but chooses to deviate from it, sacrificing pecuniary rewards to support altruism or competitiveness. The second chapter studies the effect of introducing thresholds on equilibrium selection in the voluntary contribution mechanism with complementarity (VCMC). The introduction of thresholds expands the basin of attraction of the socially inefficient equilibrium by raising the minimum group output necessary for a positive return from cooperation. If contributions are not sufficient to generate the minimum output, the social return is zero. The data suggest that the introduction of thresholds does not alter the equilibrium selection or the pattern of contribution dynamics. Individuals are still able to coordinate on the socially preferable outcome.
The third chapter examines experimentally the effect of displaying feedback about the income of other group members on the evolution of contributions in the VCMC. The results show that the degree of coordination responds to the way information about outcomes is made available to subjects. Emphasis on income differences can be detrimental from a social perspective and may result in the unraveling of cooperation.Arts, Faculty of

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The primary purpose of the study is to investigate the main reasons why real estate brokers voluntarily choose to de-‐egister themselves after a short time in the profession and to come up with suggestions in order to prevent it. The sudy entails both a quantitative and a qualitative method. The first was conducted hrough a survey to gather information about de--‐registrations throughout the last three years. The qualitative method was applied to reinforce the quantitative survey. This was conducted through interviewing people in the industry. In total, 58 de--‐registrated real estate brokers and six people from the industry participated in the study. Of the 58 who participated in the survey, 81% were women and the remaining 19% men. 97% of participants were less than 30 years old. All were operating as a real estate agent in less than five years. One cannot claim that the deregistration is due to only one reason, the motives for cancellation can be many. However, the tree main reasons are the following; working hours and availability, the salary structure and the pressure and the stress that these factors contribute to. The survey also shows that contributing factors are false expectations about the profession and partly a lack of information from the institutions. Finally, the experience is that there is a gap between the theoretical school and the practical profession. The conclusion of the research is that the internship that is compulsory to do in order to be able to work as a broker should be implemented as an educational requirement, preferably in the beginning of the educational program. Moreover, in order to retain skilled labour, the industry has to improve the working conditions. We believe that the industry winners in the long run will be the companies who focuses on flexibility and differentiated working methods regarding salary and ways of working. In the end of the study it is discussed whether a potential change in the Swedish law, adjusting the work of real estate brokers, would reduce the stress and the pressure about the availability due to the brokers.Syftet med studien är att utreda de huvudsakliga orsakerna till att många fastighetsmäklare frivilligt väljer att avregistrera sig efter en kort tid som verksamma inom yrket och komma med förslag på vad som kan göras för att motverka detta. I rbetet har en kvantitativ och en kvalitativ metod tillämpats. Den förstnämnda i form av en enkätundersökning för att samla in information om avregistreringar under de senaste tre åren. Den kvalitativa metoden har tillämpats för att fördjupa den kvantitativa undersökningen. Detta i form av intervjuer med verksamma personer i branschen. Sammanlagt deltog 58 avregistrerade fastighetsmäklare och sex personer i branschen i studien. Av de 58 personer som deltog i undersökningen var 81 % kvinnor och resterande 19 % män. Av dessa var 97 % under 30 år och samtliga verksamma som fastighetsmäklare mindre än fem år. Det går inte att säga att avregistreringarna beror av en anledning utan skälen till en avregistrering kan vara många. De tre huvudsakliga skälen är arbetstiderna och tillgängligheten, lönestrukturen och den press och stress de här faktorerna bidrar till. Undersökningen visar att felaktiga förväntningar på yrket och en till viss del bristande information från lärosätena är bidragande faktorer. Slutligen upplevs ett gap mellan skolbänk och yrke som till stor del beror av en teoretisk utbildning inför ett praktiskt yrke. Vi har därför kommit fram till att praktiken som krävs för att kunna arbeta som fastighetsmäklare bör implementeras som ett utbildningskrav, gärna i början på utbildningen. Från branschens sida krävs förbättrade anställningsvillkor för att behålla kompetent arbetskraft. De företag som läggerfokus på flexibilitet och valmöjlighet angående ersättningsmodeller och arbetssätt tror vi kommer vara de stora vinnarna i längden. Mot slutet av arbetet diskuteras om en lagändring i fastighetsmäklarlagen skulle vara aktuell för att minska ansvaret på den enskilda fastighetsmäklaren för att reducera stressen och pressen på tillgänglighet.

Bromiley, Richard. "Third sector employment and training initiatives : an analysis of institutional influences on success and failure". Thesis, Durham University, 2001. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/4236/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis presents a multi-scalar analysis of the institutional influences upon Third Sector Employment and Training Initiatives (TSEIs) which have become de rigueur as a response to the seemingly intractable unemployment problems of many localities in the UK. To address the efficacy of third sector initiatives in the development of local economies, previous evaluations have attempted to define the features of 'best practice' initiatives in the UK. However, such analyses focus upon the internal organisation of TSEIs and are biased towards what are regarded as successful organisations while neglecting the impacts of failure. Consequently, this thesis addresses the institutional influences upon TSEIs within a comparative analysis of successful and failing initiatives, while recognising that 'success' and 'failure' are relative rather than absolute concepts. The thesis combines approaches from the social sciences in order to create an informed theoretical basis which is able to incorporate broader explanatory issues of social change and structure that are explored through empirical study. An approach is therefore applied which emphasises the multiple scales at which theories operate, from the essentially grand meta-theories of the regulation approach to the more locally contingent theories of governance and institutions. This subsequently informs the debate into changes in economic, social, political and governance structures which affect labour markets and job creation strategies in the UK. The thesis suggests a number of common factors which influence the development of TSEIs, allied to a number of specific factors which are related to the aims of particular initiatives. The need for flexibility within frameworks leads to a conceptualisation of the key organisational factor influencing TSEIs as Structured Flexibility. From this, I suggest a number of policy directions which ought to facilitate the third sector’s attempts to develop local economic growth.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
La volonté : peu de termes reviennent dans des débats aussi nombreux et aussi divers ; peu se prêtent à un aussi large éventail de registres, de l’ordinaire au sacré. Mon travail voudrait introduire à la notion de volonté chez Cicéron, et aux nouveaux champs sémantiques ouverts par lui pour la postérité. Le rôle accordé à lui jusqu’ici dans les généalogies de la volonté a été au mieux mineur. Mais les archives numériques confirment un fait curieux : tout le corpus latin antérieur à Cicéron contient environ 25 occurrences de voluntas ou de ses formes déclinées. Dans le seul corpus cicéronien, le mot apparaît 644 fois. Sa théologie pense l’univers en tant qu’il est déterminé par la mens ac voluntas des dieux, et fait passer le progrès de l’âme par la contemplation de la volonté divine. La voluntas est centrale dans sa réflexion sur l’émotion et la responsabilité en contexte judiciaire. Dans ses traités philosophiques, il adapte l’éthique stoïcienne et fait de la volonté le siège de la progression morale. En outre, c’est Cicéron et non Lucrèce qui a le premier examiné la liberté du vouloir humain : lorsqu’il entreprit, à trente-six ans, l’accusation de Verrès, puis dans le De fato, où sa défense de la libera voluntas mobilise le Portique et l’Académie contre le Jardin. Enfin, Cicéron invente la volonté du peuple telle que nous la connaissons. Le plus grand orateur romain, pionnier de la pensée politique de langue latine, fait de la voluntas populi la force agissante d’une république souveraine. Son idée de la volonté populaire contient d’ailleurs en germe les problèmes de représentativité des élites que nos démocraties électorales cherchent encore à résoudreThe will : few words feature in so many distinct debates, nor range so vastly from the simple to the sacred. This thesis is intended to provide a thorough study of the notion of will in Cicero, and of the new semantic pathways he opens for posterity. The role attributed to him in genealogies of the will has been relatively minor. But digital archives confirm a curious fact: all extant Latin texts prior to his lifetime yield around two dozen occurrences of voluntas and its cognates. In the texts we have, Cicero uses the word 644 times. His theology examines the character of the world determined by the mens ac voluntas of the gods, and the improvement of the soul in the contemplation of divine will. Voluntas propels and inspires Cicero’s study of emotion in criminal liability. In the Tusculan Disputations and De officiis, he adapts Stoic ethics to propose the will as locus of moral progress. Further, it was Cicero, not Lucretius as some have argued, who first considered the “freedom” of human will – as a 36-year-old prosecutor, and then in the De fato, where his argument for libera voluntas marshals the Stoa and Academy to repudiate the Epicureans. Finally, Cicero invents “the will of the people” as we know it. Rome’s greatest orator and the pioneer of political thought in Latin, he makes voluntas populi the catalyzing force of a sovereign republic. So too does he sow problems of elite “trusteeship” into his notion of popular will, problems which electoral democracies still struggle to resolve

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
La autonomía de la voluntad privada es la facultad de los particulares de regir y ordenar su propia conducta mediante sus propias normas sin depender de nadie ni ser obligado a ello por algún impulso externo. Aplicado al ámbito de la contratación es un derecho incuestionable, que comprende la discrecionalidad de contratar o negarse a hacerlo, la de elegir con quien contratar y en última instancia decidir sobre la regulación del convenio.
En la actualidad, este principio se encuentra en crisis, lo cual se debe a las restricciones que le son aplicadas. El deterioro actual del mismo afecta al contrato tanto en su formación como en los efectos jurídicos que produce y repercute de esta forma en la seguridad jurídica que ofrece el contrato a las partes intervinientes.
Este trabajose orienta a la investigación de este tema, para estudiar el principio de la autonomía privada, su contenido, su relación con el Derecho Contractual, y para determinar los principales factores jurídicos y sociales que lo limitan en la regulación de las obligaciones contractuales civiles.Fil: Gobbi, Florencia.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This study estimated the association between aggressive behavior and two different types of emotion regulation, one operating on the conscious level with voluntary effort (i.e., suppression) and the other operating on the unconscious level with involuntary effort, or automatically (i.e., repression). Results from a correlation analysis among self-assessed suppression and repression and other-rated aggressive behavior showed that repression is more significantly linked to aggressive behavior than suppression. Further investigation using physiological and neural assessments was performed to determine the critical properties, including cardiac reactivity and neural substrates, of repression related to aggressive behavior. Based on the findings from multiple approaches in assessment, this study suggests that unconscious emotion change inferred from self-assessed repression (in Study 1) and neural activity (in Study 2) more significantly predicts aggressive behavior than personality. Implications for both aggression and emotion research are discussed along with the measurement equivalence issue.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The governance of Australian nonprofit voluntary sport organisations (VSOs) was once almost the exclusive domain of volunteers. However, changes in government policy and funding levels in recent years has led to the introduction of professional staff in these organisations. Rapid changes to the political, social and economic environment have created new complexities with which VSOs and their governing boards must grapple. Boards act as the main decision making body for these organisations, and as such have a significant impact on the governance of these organisations, and therefore their ability to deliver services. While the process of professionalisation within VSOs has been well documented, very little research has examined factors that may influence the ability of the boards of VSOs to perform effectively. The fields of nonprofit governance and sport management provided a theoretical and conceptual framework for the investigation of the board performance of VSOs. Two broad themes concerning research into board performance were identified in the nonprofit literature; the structural characteristics of the board, and board-executive relations. These two themes have also been addressed to a limited extent within the sport management literature, but not in relation to board performance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between board performance, board structures and board-executive relations in Australian VSOs. The study investigated the differences in board structure between effective and ineffective boards, and the relationship between board performance and various elements of board structure, specifically complexity, formalisation and centralisation. The differences in the nature of board-executive relations between effective and ineffective boards, and the relationship of board performance to board-executive relations were also investigated. The sampling frame for the study was state governing bodies of sport in the state of Victoria, Australia. Seven case organisations were identified by a panel of experts; four exhibiting effective board performance and three exhibiting ineffective board performance. Data were collected through structured interviews with executives, from an examination of board documents, from a self-administered questionnaire of executives, board chairs and board members, and through semi-structured interviews with executives, board chairs and board members. Data were collected on board performance, the complexity, formalisation and centralisation of the boards, power patterns within the boards, and the nature of board-executive relations. Data analysis involved both quantitative and qualitative techniques. It was concluded that effective board performance was related to a higher level of board centralisation and associated with a higher level of board formalisation. Board performance was not related to board complexity. Board power patterns that were perceived to be powerless or fragmented were related to lower levels of board performance. Elements of the board-executive relationship that were related to effective board performance were identified as establishing trust between the board and executive, the control of information by the executive, shared board leadership and the responsibility for board performance. Importantly, the study identified the central role executives have in determining the ability of VSO boards to perform effectively. The study contributed to the body of knowledge concerning the governance of VSOs, specifically the measurement of board performance, and the investigation of its relationship with board structure and board-executive relations. A number of questions were advanced for the development of theory and empirical investigation through further research. The study also extended what is known about the models of nonprofit governance and their utility in explaining the workings of VSO boards. The findings of this study suggest that there is a need to adapt such models to the organisational context of member-based organisations such as VSOs.
