Percorremos, inicialmente, alguns autores clássicos como Platão, Aristóteles, Locke, Marx e outros, na intenção de encontrar uma fundamentação filosófica capaz de iluminar nossa perspectiva. Chegamos a Hannah Arendt, que atendeu plenamente nosso objetivo: compreender o exercício público e privado da saúde em nossa sociedade. Ressalta-se que, embora tenhamos como indiscutível a existência de uma defasagem geral entre os serviços públicos e privados, de modo algum isso é encarado como justo ou natural pela sociedade, seja pela via pública ou privada, mesmo porque tais vias já não são tão rigidamente distintas como eram para a pólis.Descritores: Saúde, Filosofia, Hannah Arendt, Público e Privado.Lights and blackout: public and private command post Hannah ArendtWe first went through some classic authors such as Plato, Aristotle, Locke, Marx and others in the intention to find a satisfactory philosophic reason and really capable of illuminate our perspective. Finally, we got to Hannah Arendt, whom reached completely our objective: to understand the public and private health service that is processing in our society. The conclusion to this process seems to give the public and private sector of equivalent service qualities, what, however, seems far away to accomplish. It is important to notice that, nevertheless we have as indisputable the fact that there is in society a general lag between the public and private service, in any way this is faced as fair or natural for the human being society, which fights for its rights, either by the public or the private way, even because these two ways are not as rigid as they were in thepolis.Descriptors: Health, Philosophy, Hannah Arendt, Public and Private.Luz y apagones: el público y privado em Hannah ArendtRecurrimos, inicialmente, a algunos autores clásicos como Platón, Aristóteles, Locke, Marx y otros con la intención de encontrar un fundamento filosófico satisfactorio y realmente capaz de iluminar nuestra perspectiva. Finalmente, llegamos a Hannah Arendt, quien atendió plenamente a nuestro objetivo: comprender el ejercicio público y privado de salud que se realiza en nuestra sociedad. La conclusión de este proceso parece dotar el ámbito público y privado de equiparables calidades de servicios que, sin embargo, tal vez estén lejos de realizarse. Además es digno denotar que, a pesar de que tengamos como indiscutible el hecho de que existe un defasaje general entre los servicios públicos y privados, de ninguna manera esto es visto como justo o natural por la sociedad, que exige sus derechos, sea por vía pública o vía privada, hasta porque tales vías ya no son tan rígidamente distintas como eran para la polis.Descriptores: Salud, Filosofia, Hannah Arendt, Público y Privado.

PurposeThe paper aims to understand the different motivations / reasons for engaging in CSR initiatives by the organizations. In addition, the study also examines the relationship between CSR motivations and corporate social performance (CSP).Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected from two power sector organizations: one was a private sector firm and the other was a public sector firm. A comparative analysis of the variables with respect to private and public sector organizations was conducted. A questionnaire survey was administered among 370 employees working in the power sector, with 199 executives from public sector and 171 from private sector.Findings“Philanthropic” motivation emerged as the most dominant CSR motivation among both the public and private sector firms. The private sector firm was found to be significantly higher with respect to “philanthropic”, “enlightened self-interest” and “normative” CSR motivations when compared with the public sector firms. Findings suggest that public and private sector firms differed significantly on four CSR motivations, namely, “philanthropic”, “enlightened self-interest”, “normative” and “coercive”. The CSP score was significantly different among the two power sector firms of public and private sectors. The private sector firm had a higher CSP level than the public sector undertaking.Research limitations/implicationsFurther studies in the domain need to address differences in CSR motivations and CSP across other sectors to understand the role of industry characteristics in influencing social development targets of organizations. Research also needs to focus on demonstrating the relationship between CSP and financial performance of the firms. Further, the HR outcomes of CSR initiatives and measurement of CSP indicators, such as attracting and retaining talent, employee commitment and organizational climate factors, need to be assessed.Originality/valueThe social issues are now directly linked with the business model to ensure consistency and community development. The results reveal a need for “enlightened self-interest” which is the second dominant CSR motivation among the organizations. The study makes a novel contribution by determining that competitive and coercive motivations are not functional as part of organizational CSR strategy. CSR can never be forced as the very idea is to do social good. Eventually, the CSR approach demands a commitment from within. The organizations need to emphasize more voluntary engagement of employees and go beyond statutory requirements for realizing the true CSR benefits.

The purpose of this paper reviews the influence of Vehicle Fleet Management Practices, (VFMP). A systematic review of papers was performed analysing 56 articles from year 2014 to 2021. Vehicle Fleet Management Practices research has garnered interest from both academics and industrialists in both the public and private sector. This is demonstrated by the increasing number of academic papers published in recent years. The article discusses interesting findings, suggests and lays down a number of directions for future research. In addition, limitations of this work are presented. The conclusion of this study provides sufficient evidence on the need for further research addressing the interaction between vehicle fleet management practices and service delivery in public entities.

The existence of the public and private sectors in the modern economy is justified from the point of view of economic policy, especially with regard to its stabilising function (regulatory sphere) and allocative and redistributive function (real sphere).
