Using a national sample of first-time voters ( N = 1,465), this online survey investigated relationship theory in political public relations. Looking at one's relationship with both major U.S. political parties during the 2016 U.S. presidential election, this study seeks to determine the level of relationship and variables that might predict it. Results indicate that these first-time voters had moderate-to-low relationships with the parties. Even so, relationship with one's party is predicted by authenticity of your party's candidate and the level of credibility you assign your party.

Authorship, as a form of professional recognition, is an important topic in the study of reward systems in science. Empirical studies have shown that reward systems in science vary by historical periods and institutional contexts. Yet existing theoretical perspectives prove inadequate in explaining these variations. This study extends existing literature by investigating organizational mechanisms that shape "cycles of credit" in science and local institutional logics of authorship practices. Qualitative analysis is primarily based on in-depth interviews with thirty-one life scientists from an elite and a provincial university in China, a country that has undergone unparalleled growth in scientific productivity in the past decade. I identify two different institutional logics of authorship. In the elite university, a logic of "autonomy" prevails. Researchers tend to remain independent and equal in negotiated coalitions and give coauthorship credit based on individuals' scientific contributions to each paper. By contrast, in the provincial university, a logic of "dependence" prevails. Research teams assign coauthorship credit based on members' long-term contributions regardless of whether they are scientific or not. Organizational factors, including historical development path, resource distribution pattern, and incentive scheme, are crucial in shaping and maintaining these divergent logics.

The Russian model of CSR was evolving over the last 20 years, and in view of contradictory tendencies that define multi-vector development of political and social relations in Russia, different character of the crisis, is not yet fully developed. The Russian model has a number of similarities with the Latin American This is especially true in the 90-ies., when the background of the struggle for influence of oligarchic groups, high-level corruption, the interpenetration of government and business, active actions of organized crime little influence of markets (financial, trade and the labor market) and civil society were observed to socially responsible behavior of companies. As a rule, Russian banks are guided in their efforts to explore areas of basic document (each - its), which determines the bank's policy in the field of CSR. In order to develop the business environment of the regions banks uses the following areas: maintaining a dialogue between business and government; attraction of investments in the Russian economy; improving the financial system of Russia.

This study develops a theoretical framework linking performance management (PM) to change-oriented organizational citizenship behavior, an extra-role employee activity aimed at improving organizational functioning by introducing micro-level change. The role of organizational identification as a mediating mechanism linking PM to change-oriented behavior is also explored. Using survey data gathered from employees of central government ministries in South Korea, structural equation modeling and bias-corrected bootstrap confidence intervals are used to test a number of empirical hypotheses related to the constructs mentioned above. The results of the analysis suggest that PM has a positive effect on change-oriented behavior, but that its effect is primarily due to its positive relationship with identification. Following a presentation of the results of the analysis, the theoretical and practical implications of this study are discussed.
