Im Bereich der internationalen Beziehungen spielt der Vorgang der Perzeption (Wahrnehmung) als Bestandteil des psychologischen Ansatzes eine wichtige Rolle, er unterscheidet sich deutlich vom realpolitischen Ansatz (H.J. Morgenthau), der persönliche oder gesellschaftliche Veranlagungen ignoriert. Dem psychologischen Ansatz gemäß ist nicht die Realität, sondern die Wahrnehmung der Realität entscheidend, d.h. das Bild, das sich der Entscheidungsträger von einer bestimmten Situation macht. In der Außenpolitik müssen daher die Vorstellungen eines Entscheidungsträgers vom nationalen, regionalen oder globalen Umfeld (die sich auf Vergangenheit, Gegenwart oder Zukunft beziehen können und eine weltanschauliche Grundlage haben) identifiziert werden.

Purpose
The literature so far has shown that perceptions of managerial interventions matter for motivation and performance. However, how these perceptions are formed and develop over time is less clear. The purpose of this paper is to fill part of this gap.


Design/methodology/approach
The paper uses a panel case study to investigate how perceptions of a managerial intervention are formed and developed over time among daycare workers in a Danish municipality.


Findings
The paper reveals the dynamic nature of preferences and the centrality of the local manager in perception formation, illustrating that it is not necessarily the implementation style (soft/hard) that is important as much as the managerial involvement in the initiative.


Practical implications
Whereas managers are still well advised to consider the pros and cons of a hard vs a soft implementation approach, this paper also underlines the importance of constant managerial involvement not only to ensure implementation but also to continuously impact the way managerial interventions are perceived.


Originality/value
The paper adds to the existing knowledge about perception formation by using a panel case study, hence illustrating the dynamic character of perception formation.

We can see a theft, hear a lie, and feel a stabbing. These are morally important perceptions. But are they also moral perceptions--distinctively moral responses? In this book, Robert Audi develops an original account of moral perceptions, shows how they figure in human experience, and argues that they provide moral knowledge. He offers a theory of perception as an informative representational relation to objects and events. He describes the experiential elements in perception, illustrates moral perception in relation to everyday observations, and explains how moral perception justifies moral judgments and contributes to objectivity in ethics. Moral perception does not occur in isolation. Intuition and emotion may facilitate it, and be elicited by it. Audi explores the nature and variety of intuitions and their relation to both moral perception and emotion, providing the broadest and most refined statement to date of his widely discussed intuitionist view in ethics. He also distinguishes several kinds of moral disagreement and assesses the challenge it poses for ethical objectivism. Philosophically argued but interdisciplinary in scope and interest, Moral perception advances our understanding of central problems in ethics, moral psychology, epistemology, and the theory of the emotions
