Abstract

This paper broadens and extends the idea of organizational death by arguing that certain organizational site moves, those in which employees hold a strong place attachment to the to be left, are a form of organizational death. It argues for the utility of viewing organizational change as involving loss and including space in studies of everyday organizational experiences. Using ethnographic research (participant‐observation and in‐depth interviews with the employees) of one such organization (the “Coffee House”) and a negotiated‐order perspective, discusses employee beliefs as to how the site move should have been managed as a means to document their understanding of the move as a loss experience and as a form of organizational death.

Abstract

In recent years, a wide range of psychosocial health interventions have been implemented among military service members and their families. However, there are questions over the evaluative rigor of these interventions. We conducted a systematic review of this literature, rating each relevant study (k = 111) on five evaluative rigor scales (type of control group, approach to participant assignment, outcome quality, number of measurement time points, and follow-up distality). The most frequently coded values on three of the five scales (control group type, participant assignment, and follow-up distality) were those indicating the lowest level of operationally defined rigor. Logistic regression results indicate that the evaluative rigor of intervention studies has largely remained consistent over time, with exceptions indicating that rigor has decreased. Analyses among seven military sub-populations indicate that interventions conducted among soldiers completing basic training, soldiers returning from combat deployment, and combat veterans have had, on average, the greatest evaluative rigor. However, variability in mean scores across evaluative rigor scales within sub-populations highlights the unique methodological hurdles common to different military settings. Recommendations for better standardizing the intervention evaluation process are discussed.

Abstract

In our chapter, we want to point out the long-term ethical implications of the concept of space exploration and exploitation, which are usually overlooked today. Future space exploration and exploitation is assumed today as a certain part of human development and includes space tourism, scientific missions, space mining, as well as, in the further future, permanent settlement. But will not such long-term space exploration require the application of extraordinary solutions? In our chapter, we want to analyze this question with regard to the possible obligation or requirement to apply radical human enhancement. Among other things, we want to refer to the feminist perspective and also pay attention to issues such as exclusion and power structures. After all, it is impossible not to analyze the future of human beings in space without drawing attention to current capitalist exploitation of a global nature. We also point out that certain groups such as workers, women, and people with disabilities will be particularly vulnerable to exploitation and exclusion in space, and that human enhancement may negatively affect their social standing and empowerment.
