Abstract
The common concept of karma and retribution in the general religious life of Chinese society was not only expressed in the popular literature that has flourished since the Song dynasty, but also reacted to society through the processing, refining, and deepening of popular fiction. Popular novels from the 16th to 18th centuries synchronized with the fresh ideas of New Chan Buddhism, New Daoism, and New Confucianism, which gradually developed an ethos and karma model. It used real life as a metaphor for explaining cause and effect in the construction of new business and social ethics that were urgently needed at the time. The business ethics it reflected and constructed not only included the affirmation of business and the advocacy of hard work to obtain wealth and promote fair competition, but also criticized blindly pursuing profits, especially emphasizing that wealth was determined by destiny and could not be forced. The core of the new social ethics was to establish rules connecting traditional morality and becoming rich, which not only stressed that scholars, farmers, craftsmen, and businessmen should do their parts, but also always put scholarly study as the highest pursuit; while criticizing social injustice, people still strongly desired to pass the imperial examination. This paper examines the great social changes that were occurring in the Ming dynasty, especially in the areas of business ethics and the perception of wealth, through popular literature from Ming China.

To analyze the impact of government carbon tax and subsidy policies on the manufac turing industry in the context of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. This paper constructs a game model based on two government policies: a "carbon tax" policy for the original product and a "subsidy" policy for the remanufactured product, taking the original product and the remanufactured product as the objects. The policy game model is used to study the impact of carbon taxes, government subsidies, and carbon emissions on product quality, sales, and corporate profits. The results show that under the carbon tax and government subsidy policies, the price of remanufactured products will decrease, the quality will increase, sales will improve, and remanufacturers' profits will increase; these outcomes are conducive to the development of remanufacturing enterprises. Meanwhile, the price of original products will increase, quality will decrease, sales will decline, and original equipment manufacturers will have to develop and adopt low-carbon technologies to achieve sustainable development. This paper provides decision support for the formulation of government carbon emission policy, and theories and methods for the sustainable development of the manufacturing industry.

The COVID-19 disease outbreak has seen mixed information flows comprising top-down communication from health authorities to the public and citizen-to-citizen communication. This study aimed to identify mechanisms underlying the sharing of official versus unofficial information during the outbreak. Survey findings based on a nationally representative U.S. sample (N = 856) showed that individuals' predispositions affected their information consumption and affective experiences, leading to distinct types of information-sharing behaviors. While anger toward the U.S. government's outbreak response was directly associated with unofficial information sharing, anxiety was directly associated with official information sharing. These findings enhance our understanding of the propagation of different kinds of pandemic information and provide implications for public education on information verification based on source authoritativeness.

Das hohe und dynamische Wachstum der chinesischen Wirtschaft und der erfolgreiche Übergang von einer zentral geplanten Wirtschaft zur Marktwirtschaft in den letzten vier Jahrzehnten gehen mit der rasanten Entwicklung und einer großen Transformation des chinesischen Bankensektors einher. Dies hat zur Folge, dass sich das chinesische Bankenaufsichtsrecht zu einem interessanten Forschungsgebiet entwickelt. Um aussagekräftigere Untersuchungsergebnisse zu erzielen, wurde das deutsche Bankenaufsichtsrecht unter dem Einfluss der europäischen Vorgaben als Vergleichsgegenstand ausgesucht. Die rechtsvergleichende Reise geht von der historischen Entwicklung der Bankenaufsicht aus ins geltende Bankenaufsichtssystem über die Marktzugangsaufsicht hinaus bis hin zur laufenden Aufsicht über die Bankgeschäfte, um die Suche nach einer besseren Bankenaufsicht zu inspirieren. Diese Dissertation wurde mit dem Dr. Feldbausch-Förderpreis im Jahr 2023 ausgezeichnet

We conceptualized work engagement as a mediator and person–supervisor fit as a moderator for understanding the impact mechanism of organizational commitment on turnover intention. With survey data collected from a sample of 512 building engineers in Taiwan, we tested the total
effect moderation model that we proposed in this study via a path analysis procedure using a parametric bootstrap method. Results indicated that work engagement partially mediated the negative effect of organizational commitment on turnover intention, and that the negative relationship between
organizational commitment and turnover intention became weaker when person–supervisor fit was closer. Implications for management theory and practice are discussed.
