Download or read book The Politics of Proximity written by Giuseppina Pellegrino and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly, everyday living and practices depend on how mobility (and immobility) is articulated through the ever-present influence of a range of physical and virtual infrastructures. This book focuses in particular on the 'political' dimension of mobility and immobility, which plays a key role in establishing patterns of proximity in real and virtual co-presence. Proximity is seen as the result of choices, negotiations and practices carried out in different settings. Drawing from different literature streams (Sociology, Organization Studies and Science and Technology Studies), this book analyses patterns of mobility in relation to new possibilities of organizing space, time, and proximity to others. Different phenomena - from memorial sites to migration, from urban mobility to mobile work - are analysed, illustrating different types of proximity through mobility and immobility. In doing so, this book offers a cross-cultural and innovative theoretical framing of issues linked to mobility, through the link with immobility and proximity.

Part II concentrates on the key challenges and trends facing HR, including an aging population, migration, and sustainability, and analyzes the unique and inventive ways these are addressed in different countries across Europe. Part III focuses on the fundamental HR areas – recruitment and selection, performance management and rewards, employment relations, global careers, and so forth – and the ways in which these policies and practices are shaped by the European Union. With broader coverage, the latest thinking in the field, and cutting-edge cases, examples and insights, this book will prove a highly valuable resource for students, researchers and practitioners working in human resource management, and international business.

Download or read book Emerging and Re Emerging Organizational Features Work Transitions and Occupational Risk Factors The Good the Bad the Right An Interdisciplinary Perspective written by Giulio Arcangeli and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The labor market is evolving very rapidly in recent years, in Europe and worldwide. The fast and deep changes brought a brand-new context of challenges and occupational risks to the attention of stakeholders. The current global financial crisis has increased the economic pressures on companies and they in turn have intensified the effects on employees, particularly in terms of new competition contexts and a lot of stress and mental health issues. Concurrently, social, political, and environmental problems generate under-employment, over-qualification, over-education, low wages for skilled workers, and unmet demand for education. Consequently, both high skilled and low skilled immigrant workers are increasing. In addition, workplaces are continually changing in step with the introduction of new technologies, materials, and work processes, together with the changes in the labor market, the new forms of employment, and the new work organizations. These changes lead to new opportunities for employees and employers – but also to new risks or re-actualization of old organizational risks. According to the EU-OSHA, the key points that describe the evolution that is currently ongoing in the world of work are globalization, the technical innovation, and the aging population. On one hand, some older potential risks are reappearing in organizations: intensive fear and worries, organizational anxiety, boredom, physical violence, alienation, segregation, loneliness, and isolation. On the other hand, re-emerging perceived organizational features seem vital for organizations and more important today than ever. Central constructs in the study of organizational behavior and organizational health such as perceived organizational support, commitment in organizational context, socialization processes, change capacity of organizations, perceived organizational justice, ergonomics, and motivation, nowadays seem increasingly important and renewed.

Download or read book B tail humain written by André Baudrit and published by Connaissances et Savoirs. This book was released on 2008 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La réédition de cette étude ancienne est nécessaire au regard de la persistance, en 2008, des pratiques esclavagistes et de la traite humaine en Asie du Sud-Est et en Extrême-Orient, particulièrement au Vietnam et en Chine: loin d'avoir disparu, le commerce des femmes et des enfants reste en effet d'une triste actualité dans ces régions, selon quasiment les mêmes termes, lieux, techniques que ceux décrits par André Baudrit dans son ouvrage pionnier. Ce recueil de textes offre l'éclairage diachronique qui manque à la plupart des études actuelles sur ces questions fondamentales de l'esclavage et de la traite des femmes et enfants, illustrant, à l'intention des agences gouvernementales et internationales et des organisations non-gouvernementales concernées, l'importance de la prise en compte de l'histoire pour appréhender de tels phénomènes dans leur complexe globalité. Ce, dans le but de proposer un jour des réponses plus adéquates, adaptées et utiles. Ces documents inestimables, très mal diffusés à l'époque de leur parution, restent presque inconnus du public international actuel, y compris des scientifiques. Ainsi, le texte d'André Baudrit, d'abord édité comme article dans une revue savante d'Indochine, disparue, fut publié en livre à Saigon, mais en pleine Seconde Guerre mondiale, laquelle, en rendant les échanges internationaux impossibles, l'enterra. La nouvelle mise à disposition de ces textes rares équivaut donc, pour ces raisons, à une première édition.
