Chris Hedges on the most taboo topics in America, with David Talbot. The War on Terror is a profitable crusade against convenient enemies. "Muslim rage" is an understandable response to US state terror. Rising oligarchy in America has made democracy a sham and turned the electoral process into an increasingly absurd circus. Police violence against minorities is part of a systematic effort to crush social discontent. Proliferating violence against women's health clinics is part of the war on women's bodies. Freedom of speech is an illusion, with government agencies and corporate media dictating acceptable boundaries of public discourse. America's only hope is a revolution to create genuine structures of popular power. This kind of insight into America's deeply troubled current state cannot be found on television, in the pages of leading newspapers, or on Google News. Many of our most important thinkers are relegated to the shadows because their ideas are deemed too radical—or true—for public consumption. Among these intellectual bomb throwers is Chris Hedges, who, after decades on the front lines, continues to confront power in America in the most incisive, challenging ways. Hedges's unfettered conversation with Hot Books editorial director David Talbot— founder of Salon and author of New York Times bestseller, The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA and the Rise of America's Secret Government—will be the first in a series for Hot Books called "Unspeakable," featuring some of the most important – and censored – voices in the world today

A New York Times Best Seller! Searing Dispatches from the Urban Zones Where African American Men Have Become an Endangered Species To many in the age of Obama, America had succeeded in "going beyond race," putting the divisions of the past behind us. And then seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot by a wannabe cop in Florida; and then eighteen-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri; and then Baltimore blew up; and then gunfire shattered a prayer meeting at a church in Charleston, South Carolina. Suddenly the entire country awakened to a stark fact: African Americans—particularly young black men—are an endangered species. Now the country's urban war zone is brought powerfully to life by a rising young literary talent, D. Watkins. The author fought his way up on the east side (the "beast side") of Baltimore, Maryland—or "Bodymore, Murderland," as his friends call it—surviving murderous business rivals in the drug trade and equally predatory lawmen. Throughout it all, he pursued his education, earning a master's degree from Johns Hopkins University, while staying rooted in his community. When black residents of Baltimore finally decided they had had enough—after the brutal killing of twenty-five-year-old Freddie Gray while in police custody—Watkins was on the streets when the city erupted. He writes about his bleeding hometown with the razor-sharp insights of someone who bleeds along with it. Here are true dispatches from the other side of America

Abstract

Objective
The modern concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is increasingly becoming integrated into the practices of organizations. One of the distinctive individual competencies in CSR is the ability to work in a multicultural environment. This study proposes a suitable empirical measurement tool that facilitates understanding organizational citizenship behaviors focused on cultural diversity (OCBCs).


Methodology
To validate the OCBC measure, 980 participants completed the questionnaire (n = 980). An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted on one part of the sample as a prerequisite to a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) on the other part of the sample.


Finding
This tool enabled the identification of two main types of OCBCs: cultural initiative and cultural helping. These actions enhance organizational practices for integrating cultural diversity and promoting diverse cultural values.


Value Added
This study furthers the understanding of OCBCs and the role of individuals in culturally diverse contexts. This study contributes to international human resource management research and practice by developing an instrument for use in expatriate contexts or in those associated with organizational cultural diversity. It provides a deeper look at OCBs and contributes to the scientific literature on the role of human resources in promoting sustainable development in organizations.


Recommendations
The OCBCs measurement tool could assist human resource managers seeking to encourage and facilitate the performance of appropriate OCBCs in the workplace. This performance will allow OCBCs to facilitate informal learning.

Since the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has placed additional pressure on the supply of healthcare services. This study aims to explore profiles of public service motivation among healthcare workers during a pandemic. A total of 318 questionnaires were completed for two measurement times (T1, n = 171 and T2, n = 147). The study's mixed-method design identified three profiles: (1) The devoted, (2) the disenchanted, and (3) the limited self-sacrificing. Results also revealed three main factors that may affect motivation in healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic: (1) valorization, (2) leadership, and (3) job design. This study contributes to a better understanding of the organizational and human issues of motivation for public service during a pandemic.

AbstractSustainable water resource management is a major challenge for mining companies. The objective of this article is to analyze the credibility of the information disclosed by companies in this sector as well as the strategies used to justify their water performance. To meet this objective, a qualitative content analysis of 58 Global Reporting Initiative (GRI; G4) reports was carried out. This article demonstrates a strong propensity for mining companies to disclose information that does not comply with the GRI guidelines. Moreover, the use of external verification has no impact on the quality of the information disclosed. This study also highlights several neutralization and obfuscation techniques used to justify negative information related to water performance. The results of this study have important managerial implications, particularly with regard to the effectiveness of reporting compliance with GRI standards.
