Despite the policy of developing localities initiated by the Ivorian state, disparities between rural and urban populations are still obvious. The lack of interest in this process of development from localities’ native executives is highlighted. The present survey tempts to examine this lack of personal commitment from executives in relation with intersubjective factors such as sympathy, autonomy, mystical practices and communication. In so doing, a sample of 121 executives from the Ivorian public administration are selected rationally in the purpose of data collection through a questionnaire. Statistical analysis indicate that, except the autonomy to bring innovations in rural areas, the targeted intersubjective factors have a significant impact on the executives' level of commitment in their locality’s development. As regards to practical repercussions, these results underline the necessity to develop the local populations’ mind of sympathy and communication towards their executives. Local populations have also to put an end to any mystical practice able to frighten their native executives if they want them to fully take part in the development of their different localities.

Leader support is critical for organizational change, yet prior research has examined support as a static construct. Drawing on social learning and change momentum theories, we hypothesized that increases in perceptions of leadership support across the first 2 years of a change effort is related to employee perceptions of positive change at Time 2 and personal commitment to change and organizational citizenship behaviors at Time 3. To test this model, we collected data in 2012, 2013, and 2015 at a state wildlife agency undergoing a large-scale change effort. Across Time 1 and Time 2, perceptions of leader support of the change increased, and this shift was related to perceptions of positive internal and external changes. Changes in perceptions of leader support also indirectly predicted personal commitment to change and organizational citizenship behaviors, mediated by perceptions of positive internal and external changes. Findings substantiate the importance of continual leadership support.

Here, I build on the conception of children’s interests outlined in chapter 3, I show how Nussbaum’s list of valuable goods can be productively extended once the requirement to be neutral about ethics is dropped. I offer a view of flourishing grounded in the importance of interpersonal relationships, of agency and an appreciation of the natural world. I then discuss a few more concrete examples of the kinds of beliefs that will be required by progressive upbringing. These are i) a personal commitment to gender equality) knowledge of controversial scientific and historical truths, iii) an openness to sexual choice and iv) a rejection of consumerism. Taken together, these discussions show why justice for children requires them to be raised in an environment conducive to socially liberal beliefs and values, a view that stands in deep tension with theories of liberalism that apply only to politics, and to the preferences of many parents. I turn to these concerns in the next section.
