It is characterized that social duty as a business' commitment to amplify its positive effect and limit its negative effect on society. The current research study seeks to examine the influence of ethics and ethics in business on the organizational performance through the dimensions of the ethical reasoning process. The research employed the quantitative approach in which a self-structured questionnaire was the main tool of the data gathering. The sample of the study consisted of (262) leaders, managers, supervisors and employees from the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training in Kuwait. The results of the study indicated that relativism – as a variable of the ethical code – appeared to be the most influential variable of the ethical approach given that a person will consider what is ethical and what is not according to their own culture and stream of thinking. The study recommends that organization must realize the idea of ethics among its employees through the internal members including managers and supervisors.

Reducing Properties

Three different experiments investigated the affect eliciting and reducing properties of attraction stimuli. In Experiment 1 it was found that dissimilar attitudes elicit negative effect (as measured by the Semantic Differential), while the evaluation of the stranger holding those attitudes reduced affect. Similar attitudes did not elicit positive affect. Further, affect was not reliably altered by similar or dissimilar attitudes when the affect was measured by the Multiple Affect Adjective Checklist or the Social Avoidance and Distress Scale. In Experiment 2 it was tentatively concluded that the simultaneous use of more than one measure of affect can influence scores of all affective measures used. The inconsistency in results in Experiment 1 was attributed to the use of multiple affect measures in certain groups. In Experiment 3 the results of Experiment 1 were replicated while introducing a more powerful stimulus in an attempt to elicit positive effect. As in Experiment 1, negative stimuli elicited negative affect and, as predicted, positive evaluations elicited positive affect. Evaluation of the person who had delivered the affect eliciting personal evaluations effectively reduced that affect.

Positive Effect

The prevalence of leaping across delphinids indicates it has an adaptive benefit. I examined leaping behaviour in dusky dolphins (Lagenorhynchus obscurus) according to signalling, social facilitation, and prey capture hypotheses. I quantified the effect of leaping on group behaviour and fission-fusion and the behavioural context of leaping. I observed dolphins in Admiralty Bay, New Zealand during 171 focal follows totalling 157 h. Data were analysed using generalized estimating equations. Clean leaping had a positive effect on party fission () and foraging behaviour (). Coordinated leaping caused a short-term wane in foraging behaviour () and had a positive effect on party fusion (). Noisy leaping had a negative effect on perpetuating resting and traveling cessation (both ). The signalling hypothesis was the most strongly supported. The social facilitation and prey capture hypotheses were moderately supported. Leaping may provide adaptive benefits such as reduced scramble competition, increased foraging efficiency, and social bonding.

Positive Effect

This study examines the effect of incorporating taxation into the incumbency voting model using aggregate economic data for Canadian federal elections from 1953 to 1988. Although Canadian election campaigns tend to be dominated by economic performance issues, taxation, as measured by open-ended questions in the national election studies, has not been a salient campaign issue among voters. None the less, voters as consumers in the market economy have an interest in government policies that affect after-tax income. Furthermore, as economic citizens, voters have an interest in taxation as a measure of government efficiency – the costs of providing public services – independent of benefits generated by government. Paralleling American and British results, the economic and fiscal performance variables behave as expected in the incumbency model. Income change has a positive effect, and the rate of inflation and unemployment a negative effect, on incumbency voting. The relationship between taxation and incumbency voting is negative, both through its effect on after-tax income and also directly, independent of income. The results are consistent with an interpretation which suggests that voters, responding to the public agenda for economic performance and to a private agenda for taxation, behave both as politic consumers and as economic citizens.

This research aims to find out the effect of fee and motivation on the eradication of corruption. Rewarding or giving fees has been set in Government Regulation Number 43 of 2018 concerning procedures for involving community participation and awarding in the prevention and eradication of criminal acts of corruption. Based on the Government Regulation No. 43 of 2018, those who provide information to law enforcers regarding allegations of corruption will get awards in the form of charter and premiums, or also called fees/rewards, ranging up to a maximum of IDR 200 million. In addition, certain motivation will also influence community to play a role in eradicating corruption.This research uses qualitative data or primary data obtained through questionnaires distributed to the public, economic observers, and practitioners. Data testing is done using Data Path analysis with Smart PLS. The number of valid and reliable sample data to be analyzed is as many as 40 samples. The results of this research show that fees/rewards have a positive and significant effect on corruption eradication. Motivation has a negative and not significant effect on corruption eradication. The variable of fees/rewards has a positive effect on corruption eradication mediated by the KPK performance. Motivation has a negative effect on corruption eradication mediated by the KPK performance. In this digital era,with super-sophisticated technology, the millennia generation has a very critical mindset in assessing the performance of the KPK. The Corruption Eradication Commission (Indonesia: Komisi Pemberantsan Korupsi/KPK), however, can provide confidence to the public that the community participation will make it easy for the KPK to carry out its work.

Organizational Configuration

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine, drawing on organization studies and stakeholder theories, the organizational configuration that enables the social enterprise to succeed by combining social and economic imperatives in a sustainable way. Design/methodology/approach – The research project is based on the analysis of a multiple cross-national case study consisting of seven social enterprises that are active in the drug rehabilitation context. Multiple rounds of data gathering and analysis combined with within-case analysis and cross-case comparison enabled the authors to evaluate the perceived, declared and subjective organizational perspectives. Findings – Results suggest that organizational performance – measured as the ability to achieve social goals, generate resources and pursue sustainability over time – depends on the implementation of a participative organizational configuration defined by the interaction of six organizational components (i.e. time and space designed for collective activities, low degree of formalization, social control, centralized decision-making processes, transformational leadership style and a workforce structure based on social stakeholders as workers). The involvement of social stakeholders emerges as a distinctive feature in the social enterprise domain. Originality/value – The study contributes to extending the configuration approach to the social enterprise domain, also as a fruitful method to manage social stakeholders and to advance the discussion on hybrid organizations.
