Critique of Accounting: Examination of the Foundations and Normative Structure of an Applied Discipline
Richard V. Mattessich Manufacturer: Quorum Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0899308635 |
Book Description
The increasing gap between the theory and practice of accounting should be taken as a warning that academics have emphasized the "economics and sociology of accounting," while neglecting the "applied science of accounting." This treatise points a way out of the present dilemma by focusing on the need for dealing with moral and other normative issues as well as the problem of relating means to ends. It also attempts a bold synthesis of the two major opposing camps of present-day academic accounting, the "Critical-Interpretive Perspective" of Great Britain, on one side, and the "Positive Accounting Theory" of America, on the other. The challenging issues that this book raises should be of great interest to practitioners, no less than academics, to senior undergraduates, no less than to graduate students and all those interested in an unorthodox perspective of an exciting, but often misunderstood, field.

The Cult of Deterrence: A Moral and Strategic Critique of the Anti- Ballistic Missile Treaty
Manufacturer: Storming Media ProductGroup: Book Binding: Spiral-bound ASIN: 1423569229 |
Product Description
This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSONAFB OH report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A775333. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Ballistic missile defense is the morally and strategically superior alternative to the current system of deterrence, provided that it is responsibly implemented. Analysis of the Just War Criteria and the utilitarian justifications of deterrence present a moral obligation to pursue the alternative strategy of missile defense as a means of defending the United States. However, the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty does not allow earnest pursuit of this alternative, despite recent efforts to exploit its loopholes and broaden its meaning beyond any reasonable limit. Moreover, deterrence can no longer provide the guarantee of security that it did during the Cold War. Offense-Defense Theory shows that revisionist states are not subject to the same calculations of effective deterrence that the Soviet Union was during that period. This strategic analysis underlies the moral evaluations and further supports missile defense. The cult of deterrence is presented as an explanation for the failure to adapt national security policy to the new international structure, as European powers failed to perceive the offense-defense balance prior to World War I. The ABM regime threatens to reproduce those same mistakes with even greater consequences.

Robert G. Folger , and Russell Cropanzano Manufacturer: Sage Publications, Inc ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0803956878 |
Book Description
Why are some acts, but not others, perceived to be fair? How do people who experience unfairness respond toward those held accountable for the unfairness? Organizational Justice and Human Resource Management reviews the theoretical organizational justice literature and explores how the research on justice applies to various topics in organizational behavior, including personnel selection systems, performance appraisal, and the role of fairness in resolving workplace conflict. Authors Robert Folger and Russell Cropanzano introduce a framework of organizational justiceùFairness Theoryùthat integrates previous work in this area by focusing on accountability for events with negative impact on material or psychological well-being. The book concludes with a chapter highlighting those topics that represent promising future directions for research. Researchers, scholars, and doctoral-level students in human resources, organizational behavior, and ethics will find this a timely, thought-provoking resource.

Managing Fairness in Organizations
Constant D. Beugre Manufacturer: Quorum Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 156720211X |
Book Description
The term organizational justice refers to perceptions of fairness within organizations. Justice as a social phenomenon has received a great deal of research attention from social psychologists. With new research on fairness in organizations, scholars in organizational behavior, industrial/organizational psychology, and managers are provided with practical orientations on how to create fair working environments. Although organizational justice is not a panacea for managers, it can help boost employee morale and cooperation. Perceptions of unfairness have been related to several negative reactions such as employee theft, lack of commitment, lawsuits, and recently aggressive behaviors in the workplace. Perceptions of fair treatment, on the other hand, have been related to attitudinal and behavioral outcomes such as employee commitment, trust, and cooperation that are conducive to organizational performance. The most important asset of any organization is its workforce and the way people are treated shapes attitudes and behaviors such as commitment, trust, performance, turnover, aggression, and all issues of human resources. As we are moving toward a more educated workforce, people want not only better jobs but also to be treated with respect and dignity in the workplace. We are entering an era in which issues of fairness in a diversity of forms will be high on the agenda of corporate management, thus a better understanding of issues of justice in modern organizations is imperative for human resource managers.

Conceptions of Fair Pay: Theoretical Perspectives and Empirical Research
Miriam Dornstein Manufacturer: Praeger Publishers ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0275934047 |
Book Description
Organizational behavior theorists as well as compensation theorists agree that an understanding of the subjective pay fairness perceptions of employees is essential, but the fragmentation of recent research on the subject has made the topic difficult to approach. In this work, Miriam Dornstein attempts to alleviate the problem by providing a systematic and extensive review of writings that are specifically relevant to pay fairness evaluations, rather than to subjective justice in general. Her integrative approach examines the implications and applications of the entire spectrum of empirical research, taking into consideration scholars not only of different disciplines but of varying geographic areas. The four-part structure of Dornstein's work leads the reader gradually to the subject. Part 1 begins the book with a schematic review of the sources of recent interest in pay fairness, while Part 2 provides an extensive review of relevant theories, their critiques, and major controversies. An outline of the important questions confronting empirical research and arising from the detailed theories is also provided, and leads into Part 3, an up-to-date survey of the empirical research that relates to these questions. The final section summarizes and evaluates the empirical findings in relation to the questions posed in Part 2, and concludes with a look at their implications for wage administration and policy. This work will be a useful resource for researchers and students in management, human resources, and organizational behavior, as well as a valuable addition to public and academic libraries.

A Cultural Perspective of Organizational Justice (HC)
Constant, D Beugre Manufacturer: Information Age Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1593115954 |
Book Description
This book analyzes the impact of culture on employee justice judgments and reactions to perceptions of fairness and unfairness. I start this book with the following two questions. Why is a book on culture and organizational justice needed? What does such a book add to the extant literature on organizational justice, especially, after the publication of the landmark work of Colquitt and Greenberg (2005), Handbook of Organizational Justice? Although there are no easy answers to these questions, in the following lines, I explain the reasons why a book on culture and justice is not only needed but also timely. There are at least three reasons for which a book on culture and organizational justice is needed. First, a book on culture and organizational justice is needed because "there are indications that culture exerts very important and wide-ranging effects on justice behavior including even generally shaping the likelihood that individuals will experience feelings of injustice" (James, 1993, p. 22). Second, globalization has led to the interrelatedness of world economies. Thus, most organizations not only operate in several countries, but they also employ people from different nationalities and cultural backgrounds. The resulting challenge is to find new ways of managing a culturally diverse workforce. Third, justice is inherent to any organized social group. As examples of social systems, organizations are arenas of justice concerns because their members compete for limited resources. The resources for which they compete include tangibles, such as money but also intangibles, such as status, power, and prestige (e.g., Tajfel & Turner, 1979; Turner, 1985). In the following lines, I elaborate on the three reasons why a book on culture and organizational justice is needed and timely.
