Abstract:

The aim of the presented paper is to analize the terminology describing humility and pride that appears in the writings of the Greek Fathers of the Church of the 4th century (Basil the Great, Gregory of Nazianzus, Gregory of Nyssa, John Chrysostom). To describe a humility they used the traditional terms that derived from ancient philosophy and were also well known in the Septuagint and in the New Testament writings; and used in the letters by Saint Paul and Saint Peter. The ancient Greek thought didn’t know a virtue of humility, so the philosophers didn’t use the last of these terms. However, the first two were used in the ancient Greek literature, but usually in a pejorative sense and meant „smallness”, „weakness”, „misery”. In the works of Greek Fathers of the Church the adjective and the substantive had a wider semantic field than the substantive „virtue of humility”. They could have meant the virtue of humility, as well as a natural state of abasement of man as a created being; or a humiliation caused by the sin, and even all lowliness in the world of spirit and matter. The terms associated with the pride, used by the Greek Fathers of the Church, remained unchanged since the time of ancient Greek philosophy and literature, which devoted to this fault not less space than later Christianity.

Abstract:

Although there is a growing interest toward the topic of leader humility, extant research has largely failed to consider the underlying mechanisms through which leader humility influences team outcomes. In this research, we integrate the emerging literature of leader humility and social information processing theory to theorize how leader humility facilitates the development of collective team psychological capital, leading to higher team task allocation effectiveness and team performance. While Owens and Hekman (2016) suggest that leader humility has homogeneous effects on followers, we propose a potential heterogeneous effect based on the complementarity literature (e.g., Tiedens, Unzueta, & Young, 2007) and the principle of equifinality (leaders may influence team outcomes through multiple pathways; Morgeson, DeRue, & Karam, 2010). In three studies conducted in China, Singapore, and Portugal, including an experiment, a multisource field study, and a three-wave multisource field study, we find support for our hypotheses that leader humility enhances team performance serially through increased team psychological capital and team task allocation effectiveness. We discuss the theoretical implications of our work to the leader humility, psychological capital, and team effectiveness literatures; and offer suggestions for future research.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between leader humility and employee well-being. Based on social information processing (SIP) theory and previous literature concerning leader humility, this paper identifies employee humility as the mediator and suggests that perceived leader effectiveness moderates these relationships. Design/methodology/approach This study employed a survey involving 228 employees to test the hypothesized moderated-mediation model. Findings Leader humility is positively related to employee well-being. Employee humility mediates leader humility and employee well-being, except for emotional exhaustion. Moreover, the effect of leader humility on employee humility and the indirect effect of leader humility on employee job satisfaction and work engagement are stronger under high perceptions of leader effectiveness. Originality/value Based on the framework of SIP theory, this paper contributes to the literature on humble leadership and employee well-being by treating employee humility as the mechanism and perceived leader effectiveness as the moderator. Few previous studies have investigated the influence of leader humility on employee well-being.

Abstract:

Four classes of first-grade children at a Christian school took pre- and post-tests measuring humility. Two intervention classes had devotional lessons on humility and two comparison classes did not. For one week, devotional lessons featured humility-related children’s literature, cognitively appropriate discussions, writing about humility, and teacher-reinforced behaviors of humility. Intervention classes showed a slight increase in humility relative to comparison classes. After statistical control for personality traits of Agreeableness and Conscientiousness, increases in humility disappeared; personality could be a mediator of humility assimilation. This research provides feasibility of teaching and measuring humility in young Christian school children.

Abstract:

The concept of humility is now prominent in social work. It is featured especially in discussions of cultural humility in social work practice. A key gap in social work’s literature and educational frameworks is the concept of ethical humility, which has been addressed much more ambitiously by a number of allied professions. The concept of ethical humility, also known as moral humility, implies a quality where practitioners are less than absolutely certain about their moral instincts and judgments. This article explores the nature of ethical humility and its relevance to social work practice. The author discusses the implications of ethical humility in three contexts: the individual level, the interpersonal level, and the organizational level. Keywords: Ethical humility, ethics, moral humility, reflective practitioner, values

Abstract:

Purpose:The purpose of this conceptual article is to present a framework that incorporates the concept of culture humility into effective rehabilitation services.Method:Based on a comprehensive literature review and theoretical integration, this article provides the reader with the basic concept of cultural humility, similarities and differences between cultural humility and cultural competence, and significance of the cultural humility concept to rehabilitation counseling.Results:The literature consistently describes the need for professionals to be culturally competent to effectively serve an increasingly diverse population. However, when using only a multicultural competency framework, counselors may have false beliefs about their competence in working with culturally diverse individuals, understate the power imbalance between service providers and clients, and ignore institutional (e.g., system, homophobia, racism) accountability. Cultural humility can directly address these issues and serve as a complement to cultural competence in rehabilitation counseling services given its emphasis on reflectivity, power differentials between counselors and clients, and institutional accountability.Conclusion:Cultural humility can be applied to rehabilitation research, education, and practice. We need to broaden multicultural rehabilitation counseling through a cultural humility approach.

Abstract:

This dissertation is a comparative study which traces the development of a distinctive aesthetics in the late twentieth century novels of the Austrian writer, Christoph Ransmayr. The three novels, Die Schrecken des Eises und der Finsternis, Die letzte Welt and Morbus Kitahara, while quite different in terms of spatial and temporal orientation, share several key features which contribute to the operation of what I define and examine as the aesthetics of humility in the texts. These recurrent thematic, structural and symbolic elements in the three novels relate to the texts??? critique of scientific modernity, their privileging of myth (both thematically and stylistically), the representation of nature and the texts??? readings of apocalypse and transformation. The theory of myth developed by Hans Blumenberg in Arbeit am Mythos provides an interpretative framework to explain the re-emergence of myth as a contemporary response to the ???absolutism of reality??? which the systems and technologies of scientific modernity have produced in the twentieth century. The first part of this thesis examines the representation in individual novels of the collapse and breakdown of selected metanarratives of modernity. The second part consists of an examination of three core myths which function to restructure the narrative of human existence in each novel. This thesis determines that the development of the aesthetics of humility in Ransmayr???s novels is dependent on the reader???s recognition of the changed perspective and the changed perception which characters in each novel experience. To different extents the characters in each novel abandon a rational perception of reality. The aesthetics of reality acknowledges a textual consciousness and privileging of the projected Other of reason; nature, myth, fantasy, irrationality and barbarity. The human subject no longer occupies the privileged central position in humanist cosmology. Displaced from the centre to the periphery of civilization, the human subject is also represented as having lost control of its physical and psychical environment. Human pretensions to power and influence over itself and its environment are negated in the texts??? revelation of the transience of life. This loss of status and place is related on a seemingly moral level to the novels??? representation of the human potential for brutality and cruelty. The ultimate disappearance of the human subject in each novel is related to the subject???s gradual objectification in the text and the final dissolution of its identity.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the ministerial call in three novels by William Golding, specifically The Spire, Darkness Visible, and Rites of Passage. The central character of each novel, a Christian minister, has a vision, or series of visions, which dominates his life. The call and vision(s) of Golding's ministers are examined in light of Jacques Ellul's The Humiliation of the Word, a work examining the differences between the word and the image. The ministerial call, in this thesis, is linked to Ellul's ideas about the word; the vision, in this thesis, is linked to Ellul's ideas of the image. As a result of following their vision(s) rather than their call, the ministers fail, and their lives end in despair and ruin.

Abstract:

This work asks how and for whom humiliation can be therapeutic. J. M. Coetzee, in his works Waiting for the Barbarians, Life & Times of Michael K and Disgrace, does not simply critique the mentality of Empire, an “Enlightenment” or colonialist mode of knowing that knows no bounds to reason, but offers an alternative through the Magistrate, Michael K and David Lurie, all of whom are brutally shamed and “abjected”. Each character, I propose, experiences a Lacanian “therapy of humiliation” resulting in a subversion of their egos, which they come to understand as antagonistic, a site of misrecognition. In doing so, these characters confront limitation, whether by means of a Lacanian “death drive” or the abjection of the self. I argue, this subversion of their egos necessitates a return to the humility of the body resulting in a new ethical openness to others and an engagement with the world through “care” or “love” or “beauty” which manifests as careful negotiation and attentiveness. Confrontation with death, thus, allows the Magistrate, Michael K and David Lurie to slough off “Enlightenment” values in favor of an anti-humanist way of living.

Abstract:

AbstractIn this chapter, we review the literature on religion/spirituality (R/S) and the twin virtues of humility and gratitude. We focused on articles that were published in peer-reviewed journals and included both a measure of religion/spirituality and humility or gratitude. We focus our review by exploring two questions: (1) how is R/S associated with humility and gratitude, and (2) how might humility and gratitude work in tandem (consistent with the social oil hypothesis of humility)? We found cross-sectional evidence linking R/S and humility and gratitude. Additional work is needed to test the recent theory on how humility and gratitude may work together to promote and protect strong relationships, especially at the collective level. We suggest ways to catalyze research in this area, including the potential for future work aligning humility and gratitude. We also identify implications for practice both in clinical settings and religious communities.

Abstract:

Not since the advent of simultaneous interpreting last century has interpreting faced such seismic technological shifts. From the growth of remote interpreting to the seemingly miraculous development of automated speech translation, high-quality human interpreters seem to be threatened with being further separated from the people they serve or even being rendered entirely redundant. Yet those are not the only futures on offer and, with the US Bureau of Labor Statistics predicting a 20% growth in demand for human interpreting between 2019 and 2029, the outlook for human interpreters is much rosier than expected. This chapter therefore combines recent market research on the need for interpreters and the economic factors that determine their availability with a more realistic appraisal of the capabilities of automated speech translation and new understandings of how organisations can get the best results from interpreting. Taken together, these three strands of research point to a real possibility for synergy between human interpreting and automated speech translation, as well as a more coherent integration of technological and human expertise throughout the process of commissioning, delivering, and evaluating excellent interpreting that enables truly equitable language access. Yet the road to such synergy will involve humility and sacrifice on all sides. It will involve a focus on real client needs over pyrrhic public relations triumphs, a commitment to partnership over replacement and an unprecedented openness with data. The alternative to such co-operation is frustration on all sides, not least from those who rely on interpreting to achieve their goals.

Abstract:

This chapter looks at humility as an approach to one’s self, others, and life in general that is most conducive to enduring happiness. After reviewing the existing empirical literature on how humility is associated with various well-being outcomes, the chapter provides a theoretical framework explaining this positive association. Specifically, it elaborates how humility enables people to relate to themselves, to reality, and to others in optimal ways, which is where enduring happiness lies. It is emphasized that a secure, non-fragile ego is a main ingredient of humility and underlies many of its happiness-related benefits. The chapter concludes with a brief discussion of how humility can be cultivated.

Abstract:

This chapter critically examines psychological conceptualizations of humility and offers a novel integrative perspective that identifies the central psychological feature of humility. The gist of this approach is that, at its core, humility involves the recognition that, however great one’s personal accomplishments or positive characteristics may be, one is not fundamentally a more special person because of them and, thus, should not be viewed or treated as special outside the domain of one’s accomplishments or characteristics (and sometimes even within it). Our review of the literature demonstrates that research findings are largely consistent with the notion that the features of both state and trait humility are either antecedents of the recognition that one’s accomplishments and positive characteristics do not entitle one to be treated as a special person or are psychological or behavioral manifestations of that recognition.

Abstract:

Throughout history, humility has been marked with ambivalence, steadily oscillating between the statuses of virtue and vice. Recent scholarship in positive psychology, however, has begun to unveil the nuances of humility and its associations with human health and happiness. In particular, this limited but promising set of literature has persuasively shown that cultural, epistemic, and existential humility reliably corresponds with positive mental health outcomes in a variety of therapeutic contexts. Moreover, this same set of research strongly indicates that humility is positively associated with an array of traits and behaviors that promote overall well-being. Thus humility appears to be a key virtue for fostering human flourishing within mental health settings and beyond. Lastly, religious and spiritual traditions, many of which have dense histories of reflection on humility, may be particularly well equipped with the resources needed to cultivate humility and to enrich an understanding of this old and intricate virtue.

Abstract:

Abstract The philosophical literature on ethical concepts is so old and so extensive that its size has to be counted not in pages but in yardage of bookshelves, and in age, not in decades or in centuries but in millennia. For a linguist, this literature constitutes an inexhaustible source of delight, enlightenment, inspiration—and frustration. The frustration is due to the profound ethnocentrism of much of this literature. In particular, what most Anglo-Saxon ethical works tend to do is to discuss ethical concepts embodied in certain English words as if they were language-independent moral ideas, culture-free and fully transferrable from one language to another. For example, concepts such as ‘justice’, ‘honesty’, ‘hypocrisy’, or ‘greed’ are discussed as if they stood for some universally valid categories, rooted in human nature and human reason rather than in the English language and in the broad cultural tradition which has given the English lexicon its present shape.

Abstract:

Higher Education Institutions are increasingly aware of industry expectations regarding work-ready graduates. Work Integrated learning and co-operative education initiatives are widely acknowledged for improving professional skills and work readiness, however, graduates often lack the ‘soft’ skills (communication, collaboration, problem solving) deemed essential for enhanced productivity and innovation in the workplace, i.e. employability skills (Jackson, 2010). Anecdotal evidence from the Professional and Community Engagement (PACE) program at Macquarie University identified the difficulties that students experience in self-assessing employability skills. One research study highlighted the inflated self-perceptions and an overall lack of humility often associated with recent graduates (Papadopoulos 2010, cited in Jackson 2015). This paper discusses the theoretical and practical development of a competency development approach to learning for employment using an Assessment Centre process model currently embedded in the curriculum of one PACE unit. Developed and coordinated by post-graduate psychology students, the model provides a set of behavioural criteria by which to assess student employability skills. While there is little evidence in the literature of the use of AC's for enhancing undergraduate employability, (see Keele et al, 2010), preliminary research and evaluation findings from this project, suggest that the AC process can have a positive influence on the development of the ‘soft’ skills of employability

Abstract:

In this article, the design competences transferable to Non-Designers (N-D) are deepened. to this end, the acquisition process of these tools and their impacts on N-D are analyzed. The article starts with the description of our vision on design. This contextualization is important for the identification of the main competences that designers must have. The study on which skills to select was based on authors who in common have a practical perspective of design or observation of its praxis. The literature review allowed reaching a set of fourteen skills, as well as their hierarchy: Empathy, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Communication, Problem Solving, Openness, Experimentalism, Humility, Leadership, Innovation, Facilitator, Flexibility, Divergency vs. Convercy and Optimism. The fundamental idea of this paper is to ask N-Ds, with experience working in co-design teams, about their evolution in the face of these skills, before and after being exposed to the practice of design. In order not to give rise to different interpretations on the meaning of each of the knowledge/competencies, a description was prepared followed by one of the relevance these competences/competencies have for the discipline of design. The results of the surveys and interviews allow us to perceive that the N-D, when exposed to design experiences, are effectively able to assimilate competence in a very significant way, and, allowed us to perceive the importance of soft skills in co-design teams, namely in what concerns refers to its integration. In conclusion, we highlight the potential that these design tools may have for N-D.

Abstract:

Storytelling is the process of using fact and narrative to communicate something to the audience. The first approach to storytelling takes place as children, with the dual purpose of imagining a space-time different from reality, and secondly that of establishing contact with one’s parents, who are required to commit themselves daily, to transmit values and teachings. Popular myths and legends perform four functions that allow human beings to understand themselves, others, the mysteries of life and the universe that surrounds them (Atkinson, 2002). These functions are: − the psychological function: it helps the person to define himself more clearly thanks to the possibility of reordering and deciphering experiences; − the social function: allows the person to understand what he has in common with others and what distinguishes him; − the cosmological-philosophical function: it supports the person in having a clearer vision of her role in the world, − the mystical-religious function: it allows the person to feel awe, wonder, humility and gratitude towards the mysteries that surround them. More and more small and large companies are engaging in a marketing activity called content marketing, considering the idea that storytelling is the key to attracting and retaining customers, especially in culturally far-away markets. Storytelling marketing is a description where the company combines the company’s identity with the company’s philosophy to create a product or service activity (Salzer-Morling & Stannegard, 2004). In fact, with the global financial crisis of 2009, investors reduced their investments in communication, especially the budget allocated to television (-3.1% in 2011). Conversely, the internet grew (+12.3%) (Nielsen, 2012). But how to communicate a product to a different culture not sharing the same ideas, symbols, actions and dispositions of the company? This study aims to analyze which strategies have been applied in the storytelling of typically “Made in Italy” food products and representative of the Italian gastronomic heritage towards Asia. Briefly, the research aims to answer the following questions: RQ 1: Which strategies have been adopted by small-medium-large enterprises in order to promote Italian products into culturally distant markets? RQ 2: Which strategies are effective, in order to be considered also for future business? The research is therefore based on an analysis of the literature on storytelling as a marketing strategy and then goes on to observe some case studies.
