This article examines the role of employee representatives, who support HRM in positioning itself and the organization as “socially responsible”. Based on a constructivist understanding of organizational communication, employee representatives are examined as previously unrecognized entities that are responsible—and also essential—for guaranteeing a good working life, which also originates through communication. The article provides an overview of existing studies on employee representatives and their positions in companies and tries to bridge the gaps among organizational communication, CSR communication, and management theory by redesigning the role of employee representatives—who have received limited academic attention to date—as communicators. The insights from an international comparative study confirm that employee representatives perceive themselves not only as a “grief box” or “control body” of management, but also as a responsible agent and “medium” for the realization of social and communicative sustainability. This not only opens up new research perspectives, but also highlights the need to conceptually deal and theoretically discuss employee representatives and their roles in internal communication processes from the perspectives of organizational communication, HRM, CSR, and sustainability.

Development of the communications technologies introduced the need of new ways of organization of corporate communication processes. Social media play an important role in performing of public and community activities and are more and more used as important communication tool of the employees in sharing of ideas, exchange of mutual experiences, and in all aspects of performing of vertical and horizontal communication. By research conducted with quality methods- observing of different companies and interviews of employees, managers and competent officials for development of organizational communication in the Republic of Macedonia data will be collected for how many employees of organizations in Macedonia use the social networks services and what habits they have during such communication. By that, the research will try with case study to answer the question on the influence of social media to organizational communication. Internet social communication is the addition and an extension of the traditional social behavior. As much the individuals were connected and communicate tête-à-tête, they more use the other media for internal communication. In fact, online communication even upgrades the traditional social behavior, without it to be increased or decreased. -

This study aims to determine the role of internal communication in achieving the vision and value infusion of CreditOn Group Indonesia. The successful achievement of CreditOn's Company in Kazakhstan is a reference for CreditOn Group Indonesia in achieving its vision and work culture, but expectations and reality do not run smoothly in its implementation. This study uses the theory of organizational communication and internal communication or also known as employee communication theory. The researcher wants to know how CreditOn Indonesia delivers the vision and values ​from Top Management to employees in order to achieve the output that is expected to be achieved. This research uses a qualitative method with a constructivism paradigm because there is a reality that the company wants to build to achieve its vision and application of its values.

This paper presents a variety of approaches to soundscape analysis. Also it aims to introduce a methodology of acoustic environment description. The soundscape of a central Moscow district was investigated and characterised by seven binary oppositions: Character of a sound presence (dominant / secondary);  Character of a sound (linguistic / non-linguistic); Source of a sound (technical / natural); “Dynamics” of a sound (dynamic / static); “Subjectness” of a sound (anthropogenic / non-anthropogenic) Role of a sound in a city scenography (event / background); “Friendliness” of a sound (friendly / unfriendly). This evaluation identifi ed main sonic peculiarities and opened new research perspectives.

Information systems and technologies have an influence on every aspect of companies’ firm performance. Extensive studies have been conducted to determine the relationships between information system (IS) capabilities and firm performance. This study investigates and explores an extensive literature review to discover inconsistencies among past studies. The role of the resource-based view (RBV) is also examined on the subject. Assessing the relationship between these two concepts will shed highlight new research perspectives. The review will find out whether or not additional empirical investigation is necessary to gain a clearer understanding of IS capabilities and firm performance.

There are many common misconceptions about sustainable living. These hinder both an understanding of the benefits, and broader acceptance of sustainable solutions. Professionals within sustainability know of many good project examples, but these are still little known amongst the broader public; and in many countries hardly at all. Four such misconceptions or “myths” are briefly described, and then countered by a selection of examples. Most of these have been extensively studied and are arguably largely success stories, covering many aspects of ecological, economic and social sustainability. Four points are then noted which whilst not new, demand increased attention: an integrated view of city and countryside; the still underrated role of dynamics and process; social science insights into consumption and sociotechnical change; and emerging questions about sustainability in dense settlements, i.e., urbanity in general. This paper thus argues for a synthesis perspective; some quite new research perspectives are emerging. The paper is based on the literature as well as over 25 years of professional experience, visits, workshops and in-depth exchanges with most of the projects presented. Whilst remaining attentive to obstacles, weaknesses and challenges, a key task is to achieve wider dissemination of “the good news” about sustainable settlements and living.

Abstract. This contribution consists of a critical review of the literature about the articulation of two traditionally separated theoretical fields: social representations and commitment. Besides consulting various works and communications, a bibliographic search was carried out (between February and December, 2016) on various databases using the keywords “commitment” and “social representation,” in the singular and in the plural, in French and in English. Articles published in English or in French, that explicitly made reference to both terms, were included. The relations between commitment and social representations are approached according to two approaches or complementary lines. The first line follows the role of commitment in the representational dynamics: how can commitment transform the representations? This articulation gathers most of the work on the topic. The second line envisages the social representations as determinants of commitment procedures: how can these representations influence the effects of commitment procedures? This literature review will identify unexploited tracks, as well as research perspectives for both areas of research.

Nowadays, the Industry 4.0 concept affects every area of the industrial, economic, social and personal sectors. The most significant changings are the automation and the digitalization. This is also true for the material handling processes, where the handling systems use more and more automated machines; planning, operation and optimization of different logistic processes are based on many digital data collected from the material flow process. However, new methods and devices require new solutions which define new research directions. In this paper we describe the state of the art of the material handling researches and draw the role of the UMi-TWINN partner institutes in these fields. As a result of this H2020 EU project, scientific excellence of the University of Miskolc can be increased and new research activities will be started.

This state of the field essay examines recent trends in American Cultural History, focusing on music, race and ethnicity, material culture, and the body. Expanding on key themes in articles featured in the special issue of Cultural History, the essay draws linkages to other important literatures. The essay argues for more a more serious consideration of the products within popular culture, less as a reflection of social or economic trends, rather for their own historical significance. While the essay examines some classic texts, more emphasis is on work published within the last decade. Here, interdisciplinary methods are stressed, as are new research perspectives developing by non-western historians.
