PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to define workplace victimization as any behavior that impairs employees’ basic psychological needs and explores the mutually interactive association between trait self-deception; emotional neglect, especially by supervisors, and workplace victimization.Design/methodology/approachWorkplace victimization is identified as a pervasive problem in organization. This paper zeroes in on self-deception and emotional neglect as two possible antecedents of workplace victimization, explores the genesis of the two concepts and analyzes their conceptual relationship with each other and with workplace victimization. Based on the conceptual analysis, it identifies the lack of intentionality as a common element in both constructs and identifies a set of possible frameworks linking self-deception, emotional neglect and workplace victimization for future research.FindingsThis paper explores four possible frameworks to model the expected association while advocating for investigation of these given models to check whether one has considerable expository success than other by either connecting or disassociating these two constructs.Research limitations/implicationsThe amount of linkage between self-deception and emotional neglect at workplace is worth investigating, and this research paper presents several possible models that might help to focus and organize the future workplace investigations.Practical implicationsThe current paper postulates that supervisors’ and subordinates’ ability to display appropriate leadership and follower behavior and interaction will be impaired if they are high in trait self-deception and have been the victim or perpetrators of emotional neglect.Originality/valueIn the workplace, self-deceptive individuals display behaviors such as conscientiousness, resilience, optimism and competitiveness that are considered characteristics of good employees and, hence, are more likely to be promoted to supervisory positions, where emotional neglect of others such as subordinates becomes more pertinent.

We have already achieved a preliminary understanding of Peirce’s treatment of “meaning,” but since this topic has been a major preoccupation of twentieth century philosophy we will go into the matter in more detail. In what follows we offer a very brief outline of major schools of thought on the subject. What they all have in common is a tendency to equate “meaning” with “usage” in different senses of this latter term. It is interesting to see this problem from a Peircean viewpoint, and the suggested answer to the problem which we present below is obviously based upon Peirce’s analysis of such related concepts as “rule,” “idea,” “conceivable practical consequences,” etc. But rather than anticipating our conclusion here, let us rather lead up to it.

There is a considerable body of literature available to aid understanding of the concept of social capital and the identification of its presence. Overall objectives and mission of the chapter are to compile an up-to-date and academically grounded study providing a theoretical perspective taking into consideration the theories, concepts and processes in the area of social capital and innovation. The methodology used involves the construction of a conceptual framework regarding theories, concepts and processes. This involved a thematic analysis of social capital, innovation, and related concepts. The qualitative method for building the conceptual framework involved phenomena linked to the multidisciplinary body of work in the areas of social capital and innovation. The potential contribution of the chapter has been to bring together findings on the facets of social capital which are generally acknowledged to include trust, collaboration, cooperation, as well as bridging and bonding social network ties, and reciprocity, in terms of innovation.

Educating which creativity?

The mobility hub concept has become increasingly popular within international research and policies, including in The Netherlands. However, judging by the (still) limited share of multimodality in the Netherlands, similar historical concepts seemed insufficient to prompting a fundamental shift from individual car use to multimodal transport. To enable planners to be better positioned to implement the mobility hub concept, we compared its value with that of related concepts that were previously implemented. Specifically, we examined historical Dutch policy documents and conducted expert and frontrunner interviews to evaluate the mobility hub as a policy concept. We first traced the evolution of the mobility hub, focusing on node and place-based concepts that have been implemented since the second half of the 20th century. We found that related concepts, such as Park and Ride (P + R) or transit-oriented development (TOD), have typically focused on improving transfers between collective and feeder transport, while interactions with land use have gained increased attention. We derived policy lessons from the implementation of these historical policy concepts. Our findings suggest that strategically chosen locations, integrated mobility systems, flanking policies, multi-level policy coherence and public–private cooperation are important considerations when implementing mobility hubs. Moreover, shared mobility, mobility as a service, vehicle electrification, and demand-responsive transit could advance the implementation of TOD, P + R, neighbourhood and rural hubs. In conclusion, the design of different types of mobility hubs should ideally be based on underlying policy objectives and adapted according to context.

ABSTRACTMajor and minor disturbances can have a considerable impact on the performance of road networks. In this respect, resilience is considered as the ability of a road section to resist and to recover from disturbances in traffic flow. In this contribution, an indicator is presented, the Link Performance Index for Resilience (LPIR), which evaluates the resilience level of individual road sections in relation to a wider road network. The indicator can be used to detect poorly resilient road sections and to analyse which underlying road and traffic characteristics cause this non-resilience. The method adds to related concepts such as robustness and vulnerability by also considering recovery from congestion events explicitly and by focussing on everyday operational traffic situations rather than just on disasters or major events. The LPIR is demonstrated in an experimental case on a real network in which the effectiveness of the method is demonstrated.

The psychosomatic family model of Minuchin and his colleagues is one of the best known and influential viewpoints in the field of family therapy. This article critically analyses this model and related concepts, focusing on the lack of clear definitions, especially with regard to the interactional concepts: enmeshment, rigidity, overprotectiveness, and lack of conflict resolution. Each concept is discussed, concluding with the recommendation of a new definition, so that the model can be empirically verified. The authors suggest that Minuchin's model can be reduced to three fundamental interactional dimensions: the intensity of intrafamilial boundaries, the degree of the family's adaptability, and the family's way of handling conflicts. A research method is presented in which the way of assessing these interactional dimensions is demonstrated.

This chapter summarizes key themes that emerge in the analysis of technologies enabling gestation undertaken in all the chapters of this book. Novel gestations are exciting prospects. Technologies enabling gestation, and the fundamental shifts in the modalities of gestation that they make possible, require a careful conceptual analysis of procreative ‘facts’ that have been taken for granted, and also how we describe these ‘facts’. Looking at technologies enabling technologies as a genus requires the asking of questions about the very nature of gestation and what it means—in legal, social, and political terms—since different modalities of gestation are possible. Gestation beyond bodies assigned female at birth, and beyond bodies at all, could challenge our preconceptions about so many fundamental aspects of our social lives including our identities and our conceptions of relatedness and parenthood. However, the transformative potential of these technologies—in how they may enhance the procreative possibilities for individuals in different and new ways—is, and will be, limited by social and legal regulation that limits their emancipatory potential. Imagining the possibilities of uterus transplantation and ectogestation in contemporary contexts reveals how biological essentialism is the fault line that underpins procreative regulation in England and Wales and, as such, has created significant friction and limitation where new procreative technologies that could challenge cis-heteronormative nuclear family models come into being.

Our Special Issue was inspired by the desire to confront head on difficult challenges for the public relations field. We also hoped that the Call for Papers would inspire those from outwith the discipline to contribute their perspectives. We were not disappointed in either of our hopes for the issue. We begin our Special Issue with an article by Holbrook that focuses initially on conceptual analysis, drawing on a range of literature to explore the relationship between terrorism (understood as message communication and violence) and mass communication and the way in which violence is rationalised and contextualised by terrorists. Holbrook argues that propaganda is not a static concept and points to its variable usage and highlighting connections between activist and terrorist approaches to communication and the role of ideology as central as a guide to political behaviour and action. In the final part of the article, Holbrook turns attention to Al-Qaeda, providing empirical evidence of media production outputs and the attention paid to the writing of a Syrian jihadist strategist to the concept of public relations. These writings are contrasted with those of Carlos Marighella, whose work inspired the Red Army Faction/Baader Meinhof Group, and White supremicist and neo-Nazi publications. This genre of writing is subsequently linked to mobilisation plans that include a wider group or broader movement to sustain the activism, and conceptually positioned as a form of social movement and reference to the literature within that field.

Following a seminal definition by Gerald Dworkin, paternalism comprises interventions which interfere with the liberty or autonomy of a person, lack the concerned person’s consent and are conducted with benevolent intention. In a paper titled “The Concept of Paternalism” Dominik Düber advises abstaining from applying the notions of liberty and autonomy in a conceptual analysis of paternalism in order to avoid conceptual confusion and moral preconception regarding paternalism. In the present paper, I will argue to the contrary that both the concept and justification of paternalism depend dialectically on the notions of liberty and autonomy, respectively. The concept of paternalism alters its structure and meaning according to these notions. Likewise, the legal and ethical evaluation of particular instances of paternalism depend on the related concepts of liberty and autonomy.

Posthumanism is presented in this text as a problem and analyzed from a conceptual level, which includes other related concepts such as anthropocentrism, humanism and the Anthropocene, and especially at the level of prefixes, i.e. the expressions posthumanism, transhumanism, dehumanization, inhumanity and inhuman, pre-human or subhuman. The problem of posthumanism is understood here in the context of the interregnum as a time of transition, multiple crises and the transformation of the human into the inhuman. The problem of posthumanism is grasped as a problem of philosophical anthropology related to the question of humankind’s place in the cosmos, as an ontological problem associated with the relationship between identity and hybridity, and as an ethical-political problem associated with the question of human technological domination and control. Posthumanism is seen as an opportunity to formulate a picture of transversal thinking.

Trust and trustworthiness are essential for good healthcare, especially in mental healthcare. New technologies, such as mobile health apps, can affect trust relationships. In mental health, some apps need the trust of their users for therapeutic efficacy and explicitly ask for it, for example, through an avatar. Suppose an artificial character in an app delivers healthcare. In that case, the following questions arise: Whom does the user direct their trust to? Whether and when can an avatar be considered trustworthy? Our study aims to analyze different dimensions of trustworthiness in the context of mobile health app use. We integrate O'Neill's account of autonomy, trust, and trustworthiness into a model of trustworthiness as a relational concept with four relata: B is trustworthy with respect to A regarding the performance of Z because of C. Together with O'Neill's criteria of trustworthiness (honesty, competence, and reliability), this four-sided model is used to analyze different dimensions of trustworthiness in an exemplary case of mobile health app use. Our example focuses on an app that uses an avatar and is intended to treat sleep difficulties. The conceptual analysis shows that interpreting trust and trustworthiness in health app use is multi-layered and involves a net of interwoven universal obligations. At the same time, O'Neill's approach to autonomy, trust, and trustworthiness offers a normative account to structure and analyze these complex relations of trust and trustworthiness using mobile health apps.

This study conducted a conceptual analysis of gamification in healthcare utilizing Rogers’ evolutionary concept analysis methodology to identify its attributes and provide a method for its applications in the healthcare field. Gamification has recently been used as a health intervention and education method, but the concept is used inconsistently and confusingly. A literature review was conducted to derive definitions, surrogate terms, antecedents, influencing factors, attributes (characteristics with dimensions and features), related concepts, consequences, implications, and hypotheses from various academic fields. A total of 56 journal articles in English and Korean, published between August 2 and August 7, 2023, were extracted from databases such as PubMed Central, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the Association for Computing Machinery Digital Library, the Research Information Sharing Service, and the Korean Studies Information Service System, using the keywords “gamification” and “healthcare.” These articles were then analyzed. Gamification in healthcare is defined as the application of game elements in health-related contexts to improve health outcomes. The attributes of this concept were categorized into 2 main areas: attraction and achievement. These categories encompass various strategies for synchronization, enjoyable engagement, visual rewards, and goal-reinforcing frames. Through a multidisciplinary analysis of the concept’s attributes and influencing factors, this paper provides practical strategies for implementing gamification in health interventions. When developing a gamification strategy, healthcare providers can reference this analysis to ensure the game elements are used both appropriately and effectively.
