It
can be considered as an important approach to be open to innovations for
organizations that want to adapt to the process with difficult competition
conditions in the rapidly developing world. Two of the most important factors
of social support in the workplace are supervisors and coworkers. This study focuses
on whether the support given by the supervisor has the effect of increasing the
innovative behaviors of the individual and whether the individual's perception
of being envied by his coworkers on this predicted effect has a moderation
role. For this purpose, a sample from various sectors was examined through an
online questionnaire and by convenience sampling. The obtained data were
analyzed by PROCESS macro and Pearson product-moment correlation. The results
indicate that the perception of envy by coworkers beside supervisor support
affected this process. Organizations can make plans to improve this social
support process in order to increase their workers' innovative behavior.

This paper investigates the extent to which the national and local state are meeting the requirements of race relations legislation in the area of means-tested housing and council tax benefits. Compliance with the prioritized duties is assessed in the context of both the wider issues driving the race equality agenda and more detailed arguments about managerial regimes and the central role of data. Two specific examples are pursued: the capacity to monitor take-up of benefits through an examination of ethnic monitoring on claims forms at different tiers of local government and an evaluation of progress through an analysis of the Benefit Fraud Inspectorate's reports. The evidence indicates that compliance with the Act is patchy and piecemeal and that in many local authorities, even the basic building block for assessing impacts, ethnic monitoring of claimants, is not available. Alternative sources are evaluated, including pooled data from government social surveys and eligibility for free school meals, collected in the annual pupil census. Given the evidence for continuing differentials in the incomes of people from minority ethnic groups, prompt action is needed to ensure that race equality is mainstreamed in benefit administration.

This paper aims to develop an integrated policy index system using a Surface Measure of Overall Performance (SMOP) approach to comprehensively evaluate and compare the policy input and social output of the retirement payment system in urban and rural China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan. With this, a tool may be developed to help insightfully examine the old‐age income policies and appropriately, and perhaps theoretically in the future, categorize the types of retirement provisions or social security policies as a whole in the East and West. The results indicate that, particularly in urban China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan, a low level of de‐familization and medium and high levels of gender equality are the common features of these five pensions in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan. Furthermore, it is found that the retirement provisions in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan can well be divided into two groups based on the level of pension right protection and illustrate different characteristics between them accordingly. In addition, policy implications and suggestions for further reforms of these retirement payment schemes are elaborated in the light of the findings of this policy index system.

"Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Rolle von Experimenten in der Ökonomie.
Es wird argumentiert, dass Experimente dazu in der Lage sind, sowohl
Ökonomen als auch eine breitere Öffentlichkeit davon zu überzeugen, dass
bestimmte Phänomene existieren, die vorher nicht als relevant für die
Ökonomie angesehen oder gar nicht wahrgenommen wurden. Diese Wirkung
von Experimenten beruht zu einem wichtigen Teil auf ihrer Performativität. Um
dieses Argument zu entwickeln, werden Beispiele für Experimente gegeben,
verschiedene Kritikpunkte an Experimenten diskutiert sowie die Frage
aufgeworfen, was die Grenzen der Ökonomie sind und wie Experimente zur
Beantwortung wirtschaftspolitischer Fragen eingesetzt werden können." (Autorenreferat)

This article explores the articulation and framing of unpaid care work and the mobilization around it at two spatial scales, the global and national. For the latter it focuses on three of the largest and most diverse countries in Asia — India, China and Indonesia. While the concept of unpaid care work has received considerable attention in international development discourse, it is rarely found in feminist mobilization and advocacy across these countries. The article asks why this issue remains largely excluded from women's political agendas. It also explores how it is framed when it is included. While most organizations recognize women's double burden and the importance of domestic labour, they do not consider 'unpaid care work' as a legitimate political issue around which to mobilize. Rather, it is framed, if at all, as part of other political agendas, such as the rights of the elderly (in China), the rights to social protection, especially childcare and maternity entitlements (in India), or the right to equal opportunities within marriage (in Indonesia). The study analyses the differences in framing, the conceptualization of gender equality embedded therein, and the implications for policy.
