Sweeping across the social and political landscape of the northeastern United States during the late 1820s and early 1830s, the Antimasonic Party has earned a modest immortality as the first “third” party in American history. In pamphlets, speeches, sermons, protests, and other venues, Antimasons lambasted the fraternal order of Freemasonry as undemocratic, inegalitarian, and un-Christian, reviling it as a threat to the moral order and civic health of the Early Republic. Because they believed that the fraternal organization largely controlled all levels of government, antebellum Antimasons first created a social movement and then an independent political party. Even before the full emergence of modern mass democratic politics, Antimasons demonstrated the benefits of party organization, open national nominating conventions, and party platforms. Scholars with otherwise different perspectives on the “party period” tend to agree that Antimasonry had an important impact on what became the first true mass party organizations—the Jacksonian Democrats and the Whigs—and helped push the political culture in a more egalitarian and populist direction.

This chapter suggests the use of comparative pairs analysis as a method of collecting data for inter-organizational information system and chain research. It is argued that chains of organizations can be analyzed by collecting data from a focal firm about upstream suppliers and downstream customers. By comparing pairs of respondents within the focal firm, the differences between customers and suppliers can be analyzed. In addition, it is suggested that by asking each respondent to discuss two third-party organizations, differences in responses can be highlighted and explained during the data collection process. This can provide a rich source of data to explain results obtained.

Despite the fact that over half of U.S. residents are now online, Internet users hesitate to enter into transactions with e-retailers in the absence of certain assurances. Recent IS research shows that institution-based assurance structures, such as Web seals, are drivers of online trust. We extend the research in online trust to include the effect of third-party organization (TPO) credibility on both Internet users’ perceptions of assurance structures and purchase risk. Findings indicate that TPO credibility is positively related to the value that Internet users assign to assurance structures and negatively related to perceptions of purchase risk. Furthermore, perceptions of TPO credibility are strongly associated with users’ trusting attitudes toward the e-retailer. For some online consumers, trust may have less to do with privacy and security and more to do with the reputation of the TPO. These findings have important implications for the design of Web sites, the selection of assurance providers and services, and the reputation of both e-retailers and providers.

A variant of the assessment of training and the increment of qualifications is proposed with the aim of further assigning a categoiy for working specialties or a categoiy for specialists and professions of a long training period. The scientific foundations of the increase in the qualifications of domestic and foreign researchers have been worked out for the development of a quantitative calculation of this increase. The practical use of this gain has also been analyzed in learning processes in its various types. This system allows the employee to influence the process of improving their qualifications. It is important that this technique will allow a self-learning organization to create a self-learning system, the personnel of which, among other things, are able to train in third-party organizations, which increases the competitiveness of both the enterprise and employees in the constantly changing modem conditions and the instability of the global economic management system.

The article explores the concepts and elements of HR audit implementation based on the analysis of available scientific sources. The interpretation of the concept of “HR audit” and defining elements of its implementation in the scientific literature are investigated. It is estimated that there are really only quite a bit thorough scientific works regarding the study of concepts and elements of HR audit, which complicates the process of understanding the concept for its wide implementation in Ukraine. It is determined that Ukrainian scientists consider HR audit based on international experience, that is, as foreign scientists view the concepts of “HR audit”, “personnel audit”, “staffing audit”; that is, a HR audit is considered as including both the verification of personnel records and the functioning of the organization’s personnel management system as a whole. It is determined that labor law has steadily increased responsibility for non-compliance with labor laws, with such dynamics being observed worldwide. It is detected, that in most developed countries, penalties for violations of labor law are quite significant, while in Ukraine they are not so large, which diminishes the importance of HR audits ordering in Ukraine. Losses can be caused not only by checks on proper personnel documentation, but also by conflicts with employees (labor disputes, legality of dismissal, terms of payment of wages and other compensations, etc.). HR audit offers great opportunities for increasing productivity, improving the climate within the company and shaping the brand and the company as a whole. It has become common practice to involve third-party organizations specializing in HR analysis. In general, both in business and in the civil service, there is a trend towards digitization (the transition of the information field to digital technologies) of the formal side of staff work. Therefore, HR audit will change over time, and from the process of, for example, checking archives and stacks of paper will go into the scope of checking the formation of databases.

This chapter explores how to construct bridges between existing cultural institutions and community archives (or community groups wanting to develop archives) and the potential role for third-party organizations in bridging these groups. Further, research is presented that provides recommendations for library and archive practitioners who wish to build connections with groups in their communities. Connecting with participatory heritage is introduced as a means to build capacity in community groups for sustaining efforts to preserve and make accessible diverse histories.
