Ethical Leadership Scale

Ziel des vorliegenden Beitrages ist, die Gütekriterien eines Instruments zur Erfassung von ethischer Führung zu überprüfen. Ausgangspunkt war die Übersetzung der Ethical Leadership Scale von Brown, Trevino und Harrison (2005) ins Deutsche (ELS-D). Anschließend wurde anhand dreier Stichproben (N1 = 100, N2 = 119, N3 = 507) die faktorielle Binnenstruktur des Instrumentes überprüft. Es ergaben sich zwei Faktoren (ethische Mitarbeiterführung und ethisches Rollenmodell). Es zeigten sich konvergente Validitäten zwischen den Skalen ethischer Führung und transformationaler, transaktionaler, mitarbeiter- und aufgabenorientierter Führung (positive Korrelationen) sowie Laissez-faire (negative Korrelation). Demgegenüber waren die Skalen ethischer Führung erwartungskonform überwiegend unabhängig vom Alter der geführten Mitarbeiter und vom Geschlecht der Führungskraft. Hohe Zusammenhänge zwischen ethischer Führung und der Arbeitszufriedenheit sowie dem Commitment der Mitarbeiter werden als Belege für die Konstruktvalidität gewertet. Die interne Konsistenz der ELS-D-Skalen war in allen drei empirischen Studien gut. Insgesamt steht mit der hier vorgestellten deutschen Adaptation der ELS ein ökonomisches Instrument mit ansprechenden Gütekriterien für den Einsatz bereit.

The Government

The education of researchers in Sweden is regulated by a nationwide reform implemented in 1969, which intended to limit doctoral programs to 4 years without diminishing quality. In an audit performed by the government in 1996, however, it was concluded that the reform had failed. Some 80% of the doctoral students admitted had dropped out, and only 1% finished their PhD degree within the stipulated 4 years. In an attempt to determine the causes of this situation, we singled out a social-science department at a major Swedish university and interviewed those doctoral students who had dropped out of the program. This department was found to be representative of the nationwide figures found in the audit. The students interviewed had all completed at least 50% of their PhD studies and had declared themselves as dropouts from this department. We conclude that the entire research education was characterized by a laissez-faire attitude where supervisors were nominated but abdicated. To correct this situation, we suggest that a learning alliance should be established between the supervisor and the student. At the core of the learning alliance is the notion of mutually forming a platform form which work can emerge in common collaboration. The learning alliance implies a contract for work, stating its goals, the tasks to reach these goals, and the interpersonal bonding needed to give force and endurance to the endeavor. Constant scrutiny of this contract and a mutual concern for the learning alliance alone can contribute to its strength.

Verhältnismäßigkeit in der Pandemie: Geht das?

Angesichts der sich abzeichnenden wirtschaftlichen Folgen der Corona-Pandemie in Deutschland, stellt sich die Frage ob die Reaktionen zur Eindämmung der Pandemie die wirtschaftlichen Konsequenzen ausreichend berücksichtigt haben. Während durch den „Lockdown“ unter Berücksichtigung der Vorerkrankungen etwa 180.000 Lebensjahre gewonnen werden konnten, zeigt dieser Beitrag, dass das Aussetzen des medizinisch-technischem Fortschritt durch den Wachstumseinbruch mindestens 3,7 Millionen Lebensjahre kosten könnte. Eine dem Prinzip der Verhältnismäßigkeit genügende Laissez-faire-Strategie à la Schweden wäre allerdings ebenfalls nicht zielführend gewesen – zumindest dann nicht, wenn nicht alle gemeinsam dieser Strategie gefolgt wären. Für die Zukunft ist daher ein weltweit koordiniertes Vorgehen – oder zumindest eine engere Zusammenarbeit zwischen den wirtschaftlich intensiv verflochtenen Ökonomien – absolut notwendig.

Moyen Age

Au plus fort des angoisses de l'année 1940, Arthur Bryant a voulu aider ses compatriotes à répondre à la question que se posaient des millions d'êtres : « Que se passera-t-il une fois la guerre finie ? » Et, jugeant que « la clef de l'avenir d'un peuple est dans le passé », il a entrepris de retracer le dernier siècle de l'histoire anglaise. Aucun propos ne peut davantage nous intéresser que celui-là. D'autant que English Saga (1840-1940) n'est pas une histoire ordinaire, mais, placé au premier plan du drame, le récit du triomphe puis du déclin de l'individualisme anglais — entendez de la doctrine du « laissez-faire » qui, sous l'influence des économistes et des hommes d'affaires, a pris la place de la vieille tradition anglaise, au mélange harmonieux d'aristocratie et de démocratie qui, selon Arthur Bryant, assurait à chacun, selon les principes chrétiens hérités du moyen âge, le respect de la dignité de l'homme, la sécurité dans l'emploi, le juste prix du travail accompli.

Révolution Industrielle

Le but de cet article n'est pas de dégager des déterminations nouvelles à la révolution industrielle en Angleterre, ou d'établir de nouveaux critères de sa singularité. On a souvent mis en avant de multiples facteurs explicatifs : la situation favorable en ressources naturelles, les mouvements démographiques d'une structure sociale souple et mobile, une demande intérieure en extension (et particulièrement une demande croissante de la part des groupes à revenus moyens), les progrès d'une agriculture spéculative, le développement d'une tradition industrielle à base rurale, un marché extérieur et des colonies, des capitaux disponibles, un génie inné de l'invention, l'esprit d'innovation ou d'entreprise, le non-conformisme protestant, un système de gouvernement qui sut favoriser à différentes époques l'intervention et le laissez-faire selon un dosage propice, une législation encourageant l'efficacité de la concurrence et de l'économie de marché, des connaissances et une attitude scientifiques, des mobiles et des motivations psychologiques.

Abstract This paper focuses on the diffusion of 無為/ wu-wei (an ancient Chinese concept of political economy) throughout Europe, between 1648 and 1848. It argues that at the core of this diffusion process were three significant developments; first, the importation and active transmission of wu-wei by the Low Countries during the seventeenth century. It is revealed that the details of Chinese expertise entered Europe via the textual diffusion of Jesuit texts and the visual diffusion of millions of so-called minben-images during the ceramic boom of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Thus, the hypothesis is advanced that the diffusion of wu-wei, co-evolved with the inner-European laissez-faire principle, the Libaniusian model. In the second part, it is shown that the intellectual foundation of Europe’s first economic school, Physiocracy, is a direct replica of the imported Chinese economic, agrarian craftsmanship of wu-wei; subsequently, it is denied that the indigenous European Libaniusian ideology can be considered the intellectual master-model of Physiocracy and his founder Quesnay. Finally, we argue that Switzerland can be identified as the first European paradigm state of wu-wei. The crystallization process of wu-wei inside Europe ultimately ended with the economic-political reorganization of the newly formed Eidgenossenschaft in 1848. The Swiss succeeded in institutionally transforming traditional Chinese agrarian wu-wei into the modern version of European “commercial wu-wei”. In due course, this alpine paradigm enabled the endogenous Libaniusian model to verify and reflect upon its theory of commercial society. Additionally, this third focus also demonstrates that the later development of Europe’s laissez-faire doctrine has to be seen as a Eurasian co-production – without importing China’s wu-wei, Europe’s pro-commercial ideology might never have matured.

AbstractInterdisciplinarity is widely considered necessary to solving many contemporary problems, and new funding structures and instruments have been created to encourage interdisciplinary research at universities. In this article, we study a small technical university specializing in green technology which implemented a strategy aimed at promoting and developing interdisciplinary collaboration. It did so by reallocating its internal research funds for at least five years to “research platforms” that required researchers from at least two of the three schools within the university to participate. Using data from semi-structured interviews from researchers in three of these platforms, we identify specific tensions that the strategy has generated in this case: (1) in the allocation of platform resources, (2) in the division of labor and disciplinary relations, (3) in choices over scientific output and academic careers. We further show how the particular platform format exacerbates the identified tensions in our case. We suggest that certain features of the current platform policy incentivize shallow interdisciplinary interactions, highlighting potential limits on the value of attempting to push for interdisciplinarity through internal funding.
