Full textAbstract:
Tutti riconoscono le funzioni della didattica e della ricerca come missioni identitarie dell’università. Nel tempo si è introdotta una terza missione che riguarda il rapporto con il territorio. Il nuovo millennio porta un nuovo paradigma sulla terza missione in America Latina, si tratta dell’approccio di Responsabilità Sociale Universitaria (RSU). Questo orientamento si definisce innanzitutto per la gestione degli impatti dell’organizzazione nel proprio intorno umano, sociale, economico, naturale, in funzione dello sviluppo sostenibile. Alcune proposte pedagogiche, come il Service Learning, si propongono come approcci adeguati a questo modello di università nel momento in cui gli attori esterni lavorano insieme agli agenti interni all’università per attivare progetti di sviluppo, produrre nuove conoscenze socialmente utili e formare futuri professionisti attorno a valori che aiutano a migliorare la qualità di vita della popolazione, promuovendo la inter e trans-disciplinarietà. La sfida delle Cattedre Scholas è quella di supportare una rete mondiale di università impegnate socialmente, una rete come reale strumento di trasformazione dell’umanità.

Full textAbstract:
A seguito delle riforme dei sistemi di istruzione superiore realizzate negli ultimi decenni nei paesi europei, le università sono state incoraggiate ad aprirsi al contesto socio-economico e a impegnarsi maggiormente in quella che è stata chiamata la loro "terza missione" sia nella sua dimensione economica sia in quella dell'impegno pubblico e sociale. Basandosi sui dati raccolti intervistando un campione di più di cinquemila accademici italiani, l'articolo mostra quanto sia ampia l'adesione alla richiesta di maggiore apertura dell'università verso la società e l'economia, quanto siano condivise le finalità economiche e sociali della terza missione a livello individuale e di dipartimento, quanto sia intenso l'impegno degli accademici nelle attività di public engagement e se tale impegno poggi o meno su due basi distinte, una di tipo valoriale e una di tipo organizzativo.

La Chiesa ha ricevuto da Cristo la missione di insegnare la sua dottrina a tutte le nazioni. Oggi possiamo avvalerci del’impiego dei mezzi di comunicazione sociale, tra quali, la radio e la televisione sono quelli che hanno la maggior influenza sull’uomo. In base a questo, la Chiesa, oggi, utilizza questi mezzi nella sua missione di evangelizzazione. Nell’articolo si mostrano prima le competenze dei vescovi nella questione della partecipazione a trasmissioni televisive e radiofoniche di chierici e religiosi per la divulgazione dell’insegnamento cristiano attraverso questi mezzi, conferite loro dal Codice del 1983. Successivamente, si sofferma sui compiti dei vescovi polacchi in riferimento ai permessi concessi ai chierici, religiosi e laici, sulla questione della partecipazione in programmi radio-televisivi.

Lo scopo del presente contributo è quello di indagare, tramite un resoconto di esperienze, come l’improvvisa distanza forzata abbia influito nell’interazione tra il sistema universitario e il tessuto sociale, con particolare riguardo al segmento della formazione continua, parte integrante della Terza Missione. Il punto di partenza per le riflessioni che verranno condotte è il corso di formazione “Lingua Tedesca per la Comunicazione Professionale”, destinato a utenti esterni, che si è tenuto tra gennaio e febbraio 2021, nell’ambito del Progetto di Eccellenza del Dipartimento di “Lingue e Letterature Straniere” dell’Università di Verona e del progetto MultilinVR. La situazione pandemica ha reso ancora più significativo il ruolo formativo dell’università per un’utenza diversa da quella canonica, mossa da spinte motivazionali e obiettivi che si sono evoluti e rideclinati proprio a fronte delle mutate condizioni sociali. A partire dalla pratica di didattica a distanza, svolta in forma sincrona e asincrona, verranno analizzate le strategie impiegate per realizzare una didattica pienamente collaborativa e situata, che ha visto nell’interazione il suo aspetto caratterizzante. Verranno inoltre presi in esame il ruolo e le forme della valutazione, che, con questa tipologia di apprendenti, assumono funzioni e valori diversi rispetto a quelli previsti nella didattica per studenti universitari.

Full textAbstract:
Lo studio dell’autore presenta l’attuale problematica delle garanzie del diritto civile polacco riguardo l’accesso della Chiesa cattolica ai mezzi di comunicazione sociale. Nel mondo d’oggi i mass media sono lo strumento principale della raccolta e della trasmissione delle notizie. Ogni tanto si fanno vedere le voci nella pubblica discussione che assegnano solo allo stato e alla società laica il diritto d’accesso ai tali mezzi, in tal modo negandolo o limitandolo alla Chiesa. L’ultimi discorsi papali e le dichiarazioni della Santa Sede indicano il ruolo importante dei mezzi di comunicazione sociale nella nuova evangelizzazione. L’autore, attraverso analizzi delle norme della legislazione civile polacca, soprattutto delle norme della costituzione, del concordato e delle altre leggi civili, fa vedere che le garanzie d’accesso derivate dal sistema giuridico polacco sono uguali ai livelli mondiali e assicurano alla Chiesa il libero accesso ai mezzi di comunicazione sociale. La Chiesa cattolica in Polonia può liberalmente utilizzare non solo i propri mezzi, ma anche quelli pubblici nella realizzazione della propria missione ecclesiale.

II Codice di canoni delle Chiese Orientali e stato promulgato il 18 ottobre 1990. Le norme ivi contenute, per quanto riguarda i laici, rispecchio l’insegnamento del Vaticano II sul laicato. II detto Codice definiendo i fedeli laici sottolinea la loro caratteristica che ii distingue dagli altri fedeli e cioè il loro carattere laico. Segnati dalla loro „laicità”, essi realizzano la loro vocazione alla vita di matrimonio e di famiglia. Operano anche un rinnovamento del ordine terrestre per mezzo dell’attività sociale, economica e politica svolto secondo i principi del Vangelo di Cristo. Essi sono chiamati alla santità e alla santificazione del mondo. Partecipano alla nuova evangelizzazione cosi nei paesi ancora non cristianizzati come pure in quelli tradizionalmente cristiani. I laici sono chiamati all’apostolato sia individuale, il che consiste nella testimonianza di vita e di parola, come anche a quello collettivo. I laici hanno diritto a creare ed a far parte delle diverse formazioni dell’apostolato, inserite peró nell‘apostolato della Chiesa. Partecipando al sacerdozio comune, essi hanno anche la loro parte, in un modo che loro è proprio, nella triplici missione: profetica, sacerdotale e regale di Cristo.

Oggi le Università sono chiamate a provvedere ad una rapida innovazione delle proprie competenze al fine di sostenere la competitività internazionale in una società sempre più globalizzata dai punti di vista economico, sociale, politico, culturale, scientifico e tecnologico. L'internazionalizzazione delle imprese, l'apertura delle frontiere, le nuove tecnologie hanno indotto gli Atenei ad adottare politiche di internazionalizzazione che promuovono la mobilità di studenti, docenti e personale amministrativo, l'uso veicolare delle lingue straniere e in particolare dell'inglese, la crescita di programmi internazionali di scambio, di studio e di ricerca, l'introduzione di titoli doppi, multipli e congiunti. Ci si chiede se l'internazionalizzazione sia sempre e comunque un elemento qualificante o possa assumere anche connotati negativi e risvolti inattesi. Si assiste ad un ripensamento della missione delle Università, come centri propulsori di progresso, sviluppo ed evoluzione. L'internazionalizzazione per un Ateneo non significa dimenticare o svalutare la propria storia e la propria tradizione, ma al contrario, va interpretata come una sfida per progettare nuove dinamiche di crescita e strategie di valorizzazione e per riqualificarsi come Università inclusiva e universalistica.

Full textAbstract:
À la fin des années soixante au Québec, à la faveur d’une enquête sur le domaine de la santé et du bien-être social, un modèle social est développé pour définir un nouveau « régime de la santé ». L’enquête n’a pas porté sur la santé publique, mais le ministère des Affaires sociales nouvellement créé regroupe mission sociale et mission de santé sous une même autorité centrale; des structures périphériques sont mises en place pour concrétiser ces missions, mais sans véritables liens entre elles. Au fil des années, plusieurs réformes du système de santé et de services sociaux vont se succéder, modifiant les structures sans bouleverser vraiment la nature de ces missions et leurs relations. En 1985, le ministère des Affaires sociales devient le ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux; ce changement traduit un certain recul de la prise en charge de la dimension sociale de la santé. Par contre, la prise en compte de celle-ci dans la nouvelle politique de santé publique paraît encourageante.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Der erste Petrusbrief beinhaltet eine Reihe von Themen, welche die Fürsorge des Autors für die Gemeinde offenbaren. Der Brief ist bekannt für seine Anweisungen an Sklaven, Ehemänner und Ehefrauen sowie für seine Ansichten zu Leiden, sozialer Gerechtigkeit und Führung in der Gemeinde. Nichtsdestoweniger legt dieser Artikel nahe, dass das soziale Engagement des 1. Petrusbriefs sein missionales Denken nicht ausschließt.

L'articolo si propone di considerare una questione centrale relativa all'assetto degli ordinamenti contemporanei, ossia la tensione tra il principio democratico ed il governo dell'economia, calando questa tematica generale nell'alveo più specifico del rapporto tra la Banca Centrale Europea e le altre Istituzioni Comunitarie. Si sostiene la tesi che sia illusoria la veste di pretesa neutralità della BCE, laddove quest'ultima, in quanto Autorità che ha come missione fondamentale quella di garantire la stabilità dei prezzi, tende a porsi come un sistema di regolazione a-politica del sistema economico. Detto sistema obbedisce ad una lex mercatoria che si pone in antitesi rispetto alla realizzazione del programma sociale posto dalla Carta, esigendo la rinuncia ad alcuni strumenti decisionali di carattere politico che, nel disegno costituzionale, rispondevano a logiche diverse. In questa ottica la nascita del SEBC segna una nuova fase del costituzionalismo politico, perché la sua introduzione pone come una sorta di metavalore la stabili-tà economica e finanziaria. Ciò implica che non siano previsti limiti positivi alle sue capacità decisionali ad opera - ad esempio - del Parlamento Europeo, in modo tale da circoscrivere la ricaduta delle scelte compiute sulle posizioni soggettive riconosciute alla persona dagli ordinamenti nazionali e dallo stesso sistema europeo. Sulla base di queste premesse, la conclusione dell'articolo non è nel senso di una anacronistica riduzione del ruolo della Banca Europea, bensì nel senso di puntualizzare come la principale sfida del costituzionalismo contemporaneo consista nello sforzo di ricondurre i processi decisionali che coinvolgono il governo europeo della moneta ai meccanismi della responsabilità politica e alle garanzie delle posizioni soggettive della persona

PurposeThe activities carried out in ports are disruptive to the environment where they are located. Therefore, the objective of this work is to analyze the presence of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the missions and visions of the main ports of Latin America.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative technique of content analysis was applied to the missions and visions of 72 ports in Latin America. First, the missions and visions of the ports were collected (72). Second, it was assigned a value 1 if the mission had any evidence of CSR, 0 if it had no evidence and “-” if the mission was not found. The same procedure was performed with the visions.FindingsResults indicate that 20.83% of the ports allude to CSR in their missions, 34.72% of the ports allude to it in their missions and visions and 13.88% only allude to it in their visions (22 ports did not mention it in their missions or their visions). So, the main findings indicate that in Latin America the majority of ports do not consider elements of CSR in their missions and visions.Originality/valueThis paper is mainly focused on covering two gaps in the literature: first, to increase knowledge about the strategic bases of ports in Latin America through their missions and visions; and second, to visualize the coherence of the missions and visions with the activities of CSR.

Full textAbstract:
Between 1769 and 1834, the Spanish missions of Alta California were pluralistic communities. Faced with cultural entanglement, residents of particular missions formed communities of practice, out of which a shared social identity may have emerged. This process of colonial identity construction is illustrated by the patterned ways potters at one mission, Mission San Antonio de Padua, constructed Plainwares. Potters within this mission community selected the same local raw materials and fired ceramics in open fires. As potters participated in shared traditions of ceramic production, with regard to these steps in the manufacturing sequence, they may have created a shared social identity. In addition to the creation of a shared community identity, potters may have produced and reproduced other social identities that served to create arenas of division. For example, variability in primary forming techniques may suggest that gender identities were created out of the way some potters, possibly women, hand modeled vessels while others, possibly men, threw vessels on a wheel. Through ceramic production, potters at Mission San Antonio de Padua may have at one scale fostered a sense of belonging to the mission community, but at other scales created arenas for social distinction within the indigenous population.

Il fait ressortir le besoin de redéfinition de la mission sociale de l’éducateur physique. Celle-ci doit s’appuyer sur des objectifs nouveaux émanant d’une philosophie nouvelle. Une triple mission sociale pourrait être adaptée pour réellement intégrer l’éducation physique dans la société. Des missions éducative, sanitaire et écologique sont développées. L’auteur retourne aux sources des concepts sous-jacents à ces trois volets. Ces solutions de rechange rendraient l’éducation physique socialement présente. Les éducateurs physiques sont-ils prêts pour une telle ouverture d’esprit?

Full textAbstract:
Social media as a new phenomenon has become a tool used by many televangelists and pastors all over the world. It is against this background that this research sought to explore the Facebook activities of some Ghanaian Pentecostal pastors from a missional perspective. The article deals with the concept of social media, Facebook and its potential for mission purposes, the Facebook phenomenon among Ghanaians and how Ghanaian Pentecostal Pastors are using Facebook for missional purposes, as well as some of concerns on the negative uses of social media. The study revealed that Ghanaian pastors are followed by people from different religious and societal backgrounds. It has also offered the pastors and their congregations the opportunity to form relationships with a wide and diverse range of people without being bound by geographical space. Sosiale media as nuwe fenomeen het ‘n instrument geword wat deur meeste TV-evangeliste en pastore regoor die wêreld gebruik word. Dit is teen hierdie agtergrond dat die Facebookaktiwiteite van sommige Ghanese Pentekostale pastore vanuit ‘n missionale perspektief ondersoek word. In hierdie artikel word die volgende ondersoek: Die konsepte van sosiale media en Facebook, veral dan in terme van hulle potensiaal vir missionale doeleindes; die Facebookfenomeen, spesifiek onder die Ghanese; en die wyse waarop Ghanese Pentekostale pastore van Facebook gebruik maak vir missionale doeleindes. Die navorsing bevind dat Ghanese pastore deur mense van verskillende godsdienstige en sosiale agtergronde op sosiale media gevolg word. Dit bied aan pastore en hulle geloofsgemeenskappe die geleentheid om verhoudings met ‘n wye verskeidenheid mense te ontwikkel, sonder om deur die grense van geografiese gesitueerdheid beperk te word.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – Urban farming is becoming more common in the USA, as food-based entrepreneurs seek to make money farming in the city. Yet many urban farms are concerned with other factors in addition to food production, and thus have incorporated social goals into their missions. The purpose of this paper is to identify the social missions of urban farms in the USA, their extent, and explores differences and similarities among farms with varying missions. Design/methodology/approach – The authors use primary data collected from a 2012 national survey of urban farmers in the USA. In total, 35 questions, covering the 2012 farm year, targeted production and marketing practices, risks and challenges, information and technical assistance needs, farm size and location, age of primary farmer, and farm characteristics. A multinomial logistic model was used to analyze the social missions of urban farms in the sample. Findings – The authors find that food production is an essential part of the mission for all urban farms. Some farms have social missions, as well, which the survey results indicate are related to food security, education, and community building. The authors find that all urban farms, regardless of their mission, are relatively small and face similar challenges in terms of providing the primary farmer with a living. Farms with explicit social missions, relative to those with a strict market orientation, donate a higher share of food from their farm and are less likely to own farmland. Urban farms located in with lower median income are more likely to have social goals related to building community or improving security food security. Originality/value – Urban agriculture is becoming more prevalent in many developed nations. At the same time, social entrepreneurship is gaining traction. Given the limited ability of urban farms in terms of food production, the social mission of urban farms arises as a possible explanation for the recent growth. This paper provides insight into a new phenomenon, and uses new data to provide insight into size, types of farms, and farmer well-being and address the social missions of urban farms in the USA.

Full textAbstract:
Mission statements (henceforth: missions) are strategic planning communication tools used by all types of organizations worldwide. Missions communicate an organization’s purpose, values, standards, and strategy. Research on missions has been prolific over the past 30 years, nevertheless several empirical gaps remain, such as single sector or country studies and restricted mission samples. In this article, we identify similarities and differences in the content of missions from government, private, higher education, and health research-knowledge intensive institutions in a sample of 1,900+ institutions from 89 countries through the deployment of sentiment analysis, readability, and lexical diversity; semantic networks; and a similarity computation between document corpus. We found that missions of research-knowledge intensive institutions are challenging to read texts with lower lexical diversity that favors positive rather than negative words. In stark contrast to this, the non-profit sector is consonant in multiple dimensions in its use of Corporate Social Responsibility jargon. The lexical appearance of ‘research’ in the missions varies according to mission sectorial context, and each sector has a cluster-specific focus. Utilizing the mission as a strategic planning tool in higher-income regions might serve to explain corpora similarities shared by sectors and continents. Furthermore, our open-access dataset on missions worldwide can be used as a source for further replication, triangulation, or crowdsourcing-data studies. Also, practitioners could use our open-access dataset and insights to facilitate strategic planning activities in organizations from multiple sectors.

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of entrepreneurship learning models based on social missions to advance entrepreneurial interest in vocational high school students. Experimental research use as a method, with 72 students participating in Class XII of SMK Negeri 1 Kudus. Data collection using questionnaires and learning outcomes. Data analysis using ANOVA and Scheffe test. The results showed that student learning outcomes with social mission learning models and conventional learning models have differences, where the social mission learning model is more useful to improve student learning outcomes and entrepreneurial interest. More than that, the social mission-based entrepreneurship learning model is needed in the curriculum. Entrepreneurship training through social mission will prepare students to become entrepreneurs, in addition to being more concerned about the environment and society. Future research needs to focus more on studying entrepreneurship learning curricula in vocational high schools.

Full textAbstract:
The importance of transformative spirituality for missional leadership is explored. Missional leadership is defined as the transformation of people and institutions to participate, through meaningful relations and in the power of the Spirit, in God’s mission. Missional spirituality is discussed in the context of the missional church, focusing on what the churchis, does, how the churchorganizeswhat it does, theappropriate leadership, andmissional spirituality. This article brings together ideas from the missional church movement and the World Council of Churches (Together Towards Life: Mission and Evangelism in Changing Landscapes), with its emphasis on a ‘transformative spirituality’ an approach that states that ‘mission spirituality is always transformative’. These ideas are applied to missional leadership.The research applies the following dimensions of personal leadership virtues to transformative missional spirituality and missional leadership: transcendence (which includes appreciation of beauty, gratitude, hope, humor, and religiousness), humanity (which includes the social competencies of kindness, love, and social intelligence), wisdom and knowledge (which include the cognitive competencies of creativity, curiosity, open-mindedness, and love of learning), justice (associated with fairness, leadership, and teamwork), courage (including the personal and emotional competencies of bravery, persistence, and zest), and finally temperance (which includes the competencies of forgiveness, modesty, prudence, and self-regulation).

"Unpacking social impact scaling strategies: challenges and responses in African social enterprises as differentiated hybrid organizations."

Full textAbstract:
PurposeSocial enterprises (SEs) face tensions when combining financial and social missions, and this is particularly evident in the scaling process. Although extant research mainly focuses on SEs that integrate their social and financial missions, this study aims to unpack social impact scaling strategies in differentiated hybrid organizations (DHOs) through the case of African SEs.Design/methodology/approachThe study entails an inductive multiple case study approach based on four case SEs: work integration social enterprises (WISEs) and fair trade producer social enterprises (FTPSEs) in Uganda and Kenya. A total of 24 semi-structured interviews were collected together with multiple secondary data sources and then coded and analyzed through the rigorous Gioia et al. (2013) methodology to build a theoretical model.FindingsThe results indicate that SEs, as differentiated hybrids, implement four types of social impact scaling strategies toward beneficiaries and benefits (penetration, bundling, spreading and diversification) and unveil different dual mission tensions generated by each scaling strategy. The study also shows mutually reinforcing mechanisms named cross-bracing actions, which are paradoxical actions connected to one another for navigating tensions and ensuring dual mission during scaling.Research limitations/implicationsThis study provides evidence of four strategies for scaling social impact, with associated challenges and response mechanisms based on the cross-bracing effect between social and financial missions. Thus, the research provides a clear framework (social impact scaling matrix) for investigating differentiation in hybridity at scaling and provides new directions on how SEs scale their impact, with implications for social entrepreneurship and dual mission management literature.Practical implicationsThe model offers a practical tool for decision-makers in SEs, such as managers and social entrepreneurs, providing insights into what scaling pathways to implement (one or multiples) and, more importantly, the implications and possible solutions. Response mechanisms are also useful for tackling specific tensions, thereby contributing to addressing the challenges of vulnerable, marginalized and low-income individuals. The study also offers implications for policymakers, governments and other ecosystem actors such as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and social investors.Originality/valueDespite the growing body of literature on scaling social impact, only a few studies have focused on differentiated hybrids, and no evidence has been provided on how they scale only the social impact (without considering commercial scaling). This study brings a new perspective to paradox theory and hybridity, showing paradoxes come into view at scaling, and documenting how from a differentiation approach to hybridity, DHOs also implemented cross-bracing actions, which are reinforcement mechanisms, thus suggesting connections and synergies among the actions in social and financial mission, where such knowledge is required to better comprehend how SEs can achieve a virtuous cycle of profits and reinvestments in social impact.

This article investigates the long-term consequences of the printing press in the nineteenth century sub-Saharan Africa on social capital nowadays. Protestant missionaries were the first to import the printing press and to allow the indigenous population to use it. We build a new geocoded dataset locating Protestant missions in 1903. This dataset includes, for each mission station, the geographic location and its characteristics, as well as the printing-, educational-, and health-related investments undertaken by the mission. We show that, within regions close to missions, proximity to a printing press is associated with higher newspaper readership, trust, education, and political participation.

Contemporary mission is still struggling with how to connect the contemplative inward journey of the spiritual practices, the outward actions of social justice, and the proclamation of the good news in the ongoing activities of the church today and specifically in its missional task. While the Protestant church is divided over the issue, this paper proposes that there is a possibility of significant convergence of the inner and outer lives of the church, which results in an inner spiritual liberation of mission. This article examines the correlation of spirituality and mission from the “writings” of selected Protestant Latin American scholar-practitioners focusing on the relationship between the inner and outer dimensions of Christian mission, wholeness and integrity of mission, spiritual practices and mission, and worship and mission. In their integration, these emphases provide insights that answer the ecclesiastical question that exists in mission today and provides renovated foundations for the continuing development of the global missional force.

Full textAbstract:
Peace missions in the modern world are inextricably linked to the political and social processes taking place in specific regions of the globe. When looking closer to the more than fifty-year history of international peacekeeping operations, it should be noted that as time passes, they undergo constant transformations. Their types, goals, and ways of implementation are changing. That is because the environment in which such operations are carried out is changing. They are also transforming the goals and priorities of local and international communities. Permanent modification is also subject to threats in the modern world. Peace missions are conducted under ever-changing social, economic, and political conditions. They must be flexible so that they can adapt to new challenges. Success is never guaranteed because the tasks related to maintaining peace are carried out in challenging conditions. The success of the peace mission depends on many factors, such as the composition of the peacekeeping mission (military personnel, police, civilian employees), logistical support, entrusted tasks and the environment in which the peace mission operates.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, we explain the mechanisms that allow social enterprises to balance their missions, and the risk of mission drift as organizations grow. We empirically explore Incubator-BUS (I-BUS), a student organization within a private Brazilian university, which sought to incubate cooperatives for vulnerable groups. Although initially successful in balancing its missions, I-BUS then failed. We show how scaling-up can complicate the balancing of different missions within the same organization. We propose that, to balance their missions, social enterprises—especially recently formed and democratically managed enterprises—need not only “spaces of negotiation,” as suggested in the literature, but also “herding spaces” that connect an organization to its institutional context. We indicate why herding spaces are critical, but then show how scaling-up can result in organizational “compartmentalization” that undermines them.

This paper develops a model of social enterprise based on selection of citizen-managers to run firms with flexible missions. We analyze organizational choice between social enterprise, for-profits, and nonprofits. The paper also develops the implications of matching between founders and managers based on their preferences for the mission. (JEL D21, L21, L31)

This study aims to examine the influence of an organization’s missions on employees’ turnover intention in the rarely studied context of social enterprises. Data collected from 236 full-time employees working for social enterprises in South Korea indicated that the negative relationship between social mission and turnover intention was mediated by the meaning of work; this mediation effect was weaker when the economic mission was stronger. The study contributes to the literature on organizational psychology (i.e., meaning of work, turnover) in the context of a new, but increasingly prevalent, organizational form—social enterprises. It also provides practical advice for managers seeking to retain and empower employees and enhance the sustainability of their social enterprises.

Full textAbstract:
Public opinion in postconflict societies toward international missions is widely believed to be important. We offer a theory that local satisfaction critically depends on an individual’s perception of whether the mission is furthering the wartime political agenda of his or her social group. To test this theory and competing hypotheses, we examine Kosovo Albanian satisfaction with the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). We use data from seventeen different representative surveys conducted in Kosovo from 2002 to 2007 as well as focus group and other primary and secondary sources. Consistent with our theory, we find that aggregate satisfaction over time reflected UNMIK’s growing acceptance of Kosovo’s independence and individuals with more radical views tended to be less satisfied with UNMIK. Our analysis implies that missions can achieve greater local satisfaction by doing what is possible to be responsive to, or at a minimum recognize, the wartime political agendas of the key social groups.

Full textAbstract:
Summary Today’s enterprises are becoming more and more socially active. In some respects, they are starting to resemble third-sector organizations. In the context of progressive isomorphism, the issue of organizational identity deserves attention. Identity is based, among others, on organizational mission and values, whose management requires the shaping of coherent links between these components, as well as actual efforts and their communication. Modern enterprises are markedly fond of using electronic media, including corporate websites, to communicate with the audience. The purpose of the article is to determine the prevalence of different types of missions and values among the largest enterprises located in Poland, especially those related to CSR, as well as to identify the relationship between their declared CSR missions and values and the presentation of selected corporate social activities on their corporate websites. It was found that two-thirds of the analyzed companies posted missions on their corporate websites. In most cases they declared focus on costumers, and less often - product superiority, innovation, or responsibility. Less than half of the companies presented organizational values through their websites. Those which prevailed are: professional, ethical, relational, and describing attitudes towards the environment. The analysis shows that every second analyzed company presented missions and values that referred to issues related to social responsibility. Enterprises that included references to responsibility towards the environment in their mission communicated only some of the corporate social activities. It was different in the case of enterprises which pointed to the importance of societal values among the declared values. Such organizations more often pursued CSR activities and communicated them. Therefore, it can be conclude that a better predictor of the effects of identity management in the area of CSR was the declaration of values related to social responsibility.

University-industry-government interaction is the key to improving conditions for innovation in a knowledge-based society. A second academic revolution aimed at integrating economic and social development (third mission) is transforming traditional university teaching and research into a university education intended for entrepreneurs. This paper thus analyses the evolution of the university/socio-economic environment relationship, the models used for explaining innovation and those encouraging innovation. Debate concerning new missions, research and a third mission are then presented. The previous elements may help determine new challenges facing Latin-American universities.

While the skid-row rescue mission has been an institution for over a century, modern missions are experiencing many changes. We conducted a survey of the International Union of Gospel Missions, the largest organization of missions in the United States. Missions still relied almost exclusively on private, individual contributions though some missions accepted state, federal, and United Way funds. The missions continued to offer “soap, sleep, soup, and salvation,” but they also offered medical care, psychological counseling, vocational training, benefits counseling, and alcoholism treatment. Most missions required attendance at a religious service to receive service including alcoholism treatment. About half of the missions had alcoholism treatment programs. Most of the programs used psychological counseling, but some programs also offered vocational training and Alcoholics Anonymous. Most of the programs were professionally staffed. The programs emphasized spiritual conversion as the key to successful rehabilitation. Many missions were serving new populations.

Purpose: The aim of the article is to answer the following research questions: Q1: What types of values do chemical companies in Poland declare in their mission statements? Q2: Do chemical companies in Poland declare values such as responsibility and ethics in their mission statements? Q3: Do these companies differ from other chemical companies1 in Poland in terms of declaring responsibility and ethics in mission statements? Design/methodology/approach: Independent research was carried out in 2021. Mission content in selected chemical organizations was analyzed. This was achieved by defining the coding scheme, testing it, cleaning and/or detailing it, and collecting, coding and analyzing the data. It was verified which values were displayed in those missions, using to this end the mission typology proposed by S. Cunningham, T.B. Cornwell and L.V. Coote. The hypotheses were verified using the Mann-Whitney U test (with continuity correction). Findings: Half of the chemical companies in Poland mention responsibility in their mission statement, while only one in eight (12.50%) mention ethics. Chemical companies in Poland involved in production and trade (i.e. those that pose a direct threat to the natural and social environment) are more likely to mention responsibility and ethics in their missions than service and/or trade companies in the same industry. Research limitations/implications: Only mission statements published on company websites were analyzed, perhaps excluding those that existed but were not posted online. The research was carried out only among Polish companies and so the conclusions should be limited to them only. To explore this trend in more depth, comparative analyses with companies from other industries and based in other countries should be conducted. This exploration would be facilitated by the use of techniques requiring direct contact, interviews, observations, surveys, case studies, etc. Originality/value: No research on the missions of chemical companies in Poland in terms of communicating specific types of values, or respective comparative studies, have been identified. In the course of this independent research, an attempt was made to partially fill this research gap. Keywords: chemical industry, mission statement, values, responsibility, ethics. Category of the paper: Research paper.

Abstract This paper explores the blurring of boundaries among class identities in nineteenth-century Protestant missions to the Tsimshian, Aboriginal people of the northwest British Columbia coast. Through an exploration of the nature of Christian chiefs, Tsimshian demand for literacy and schooling, and finally mission housing, this paper highlights ways in which the class implications of religious association had profoundly different meanings in Native and non-Native milieus. Scholars must take into account historical Aboriginal perspectives not only on conversion, but on their class positions in mission Christianity and more precisely, how their roles within the mission sphere were informed by their own notions of class. While some Native converts undoubtedly utilized conversion to Christianity to circumvent usual social conventions surrounding rank, privilege, and access to spiritual power, other Tsimshian sought transformation by using these new forms of spirituality to bolster their existing social positions.

Full textAbstract:
Summary This article investigates the ways local mission and national politics shaped linguistic research work in mid-20th century Australia through examining the case of the Church Missionary Society’s Angurugu Mission on Groote Eylandt in the Northern Territory and research into the Anindilyakwa language. The paper places missionary linguistics in the context of broader policies of assimilation and national visions for Aboriginal people. It reveals how this social and political climate made linguistic research, largely neglected in the 1950s (apart from some notable exceptions), not only possible, but necessary by the 1970s. Finally, it comments on the state of research into Aboriginal languages and the political climate of today. Until the 1950s, the demands of funding and commitment to a government policy of assimilation into white Australia meant that the CMS could not support linguistic research and opportunities for academic linguists to conduct research into Anindilyakwa were limited. By the 1960s, however, national consensus about the future of Aboriginal people and their place in the Australian nation shifted and governments reconsidered the nature of their support for Christian missions. As the ‘industrial mission’ model of the 1950s was no longer politically or economically viable, the CMS looked to reinvent itself, to find new ways of maintaining its evangelical influence on Groote Eylandt. Linguistics and research into Aboriginal cultures – including in partnership with secular academic agents – were a core component of this reinvention of mission, not only for the CMS but more broadly across missions to Aboriginal people. The resulting collaboration across organisations proved remarkably productive from a research perspective and enabled the continuance of a missionary presence and relevance. The political and financial limitations faced by missions shaped, therefore, not only their own practice with regards to linguistic research, but also the opportunities for linguists beyond the missionary fold. The article concludes that, in Australia, the two bodies of linguists – academic and missionary – have a shared history, dependent on similar political, social and financial forces.

Full textAbstract:
The two-decade-long U.S.-led military mission in Afghanistan ended in August 2021 after a chaotic departure of the NATO troops. Power in Kabul transferred back to the Taliban, the political force the United States and its allies tried to defeat. In its failure to achieve a lasting change, the Western mission in Afghanistan is similar to that of the Soviet Union in the 1980s. These two missions in Afghanistan had many things in common, specifically their unsuccessful counterinsurgency efforts. However, both managed to achieve limited success in their attempts to impose their style of governance on Afghanistan as well. The current study compares and contrasts some of the crucial aspects of counterinsurgency operations conducted by the Soviet and Western forces during their respective missions, such as special forces actions, propaganda activities, and dealing with crucial social issues. Interestingly, when the Soviets withdrew in 1988, they left Afghanistan worse off, but the US-backed opposition forces subsequently made the situation even worse. On the other hand, the Western mission left the country better off in 2021, and violence subsided when power in the country was captured by the Taliban, which the United States has opposed.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyses forms of coercion employed in so-called peaceful Christian missions. Two forms of coercion are distinguished: social, implemented by the ruler towards his subjects, and political, imposed by a conqueror. However, the fact that on certain occasions missionaries employed both social and political forms of coercion is also taken into consideration. These occasions were cases when missionaries who faced a polarised nobility lacking a strong political leader (the nobility and/or the ruler would be the backbone of a successful mission) would undertake the formation of political structures, thus absorbing secular functions as well. This happened to the first bishops who worked among the Prussians and Livonians (Christian, Meinhard, Berthold and Albert). On the other hand, the analysis revealed that peaceful missions, as they have been perceived in historiography, contained certain forms of coercion defined by the term ‘social coercion’. Thus the logical question arises: what kind of missions can be qualified as military/coercive which in historiography are most frequently named ‘Schwertmission’? The article suggests the conclusion that, in their nature, Schwertmission were different from the so-called ‘sword missions’, yet were loaded with social coercion. Hence, Schwertmission and Crusade are not identical concepts, though they are still used as such in historiography.

This study aimed at analysing the African Inland Mission and social transformation in Machakos District of Eastern Kenya from 1895 to 1971. It sought to establish how the elements of the Akamba social life underwent a social change as a result of the mission's presence in the district. The study was guided by the question: How effective was the mission in influencing social change in the district? The structural- functionalism theory formulated by Herbert Spencer and developed further by Emile Durkheim was used to analyse the role of the African Inland Mission in influencing social change in Machakos District. The qualitative research design involving the use of in-depth interviews with key informants was used. A target population consisting of local residents, former administrators and African Inland Mission/church leaders was interviewed. The study used the purposive method of sampling. Primary data was collected using in-depth oral interviews as well as from archival records, while secondary data was obtained through a thematic review of literature related to the topic of study. This study has provided sufficient knowledge on the African Inland Mission and the social transformation in Machakos District in the colonial and the early post-colonial periods of Kenyan history. In addition, the findings have constituted part of the historiography of the African Inland Mission in Kenya.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractNot infrequently the concern for unity (both ecumenical and social) and the concern for mission are played off against each other among Pentecostals. In this article it is argued that these two topics neither oppose each other nor do they simply reflect the two sides of the same coin. Rather, the Missio Dei precisely is to bring back to unity all aspects of life in a world suffering from division and alienation. By analyzing the relation of mission and unity in some of the New Testament books, it is argued that the mission of the church is inseparably linked to the topic of unity; division cannot take place without harming the church's mission to be a visible demonstration of God's renewing power in this world. Some concluding implications for a Pentecostal theology of missions are outlined.

The constant transformation that the institutions of higher education experiment and, particularly, the university assumes a re-consideration of their shapes, methodology, and missions, as well as the relationships established with society. Therefore, we shall consider that a “social mission” of the university or their “third mission” constitutes an umbrella that shelters a wide diversity of reflex conceptions, and at the same time, the relationship university – society. Additionally, take into consideration that this civic and social commitment in higher education should incorporate an integrator approach, involved with an idea of European or Latin-American citizenship, in any case, incorporated in the development of their supranational policies. Therefore, the objective of our work is double. On one side, to meet and analyze the notion of a “social mission” or “third mission” of the university and their conceptual network, to clarify the language and in which sense the different denominations are used, according to the different economical, sustainability or civic approaches to be adopted. Secondly, the treatment of these ideas will be addressed at the supranational policies of higher education both in Europe and Ibero America, according to what had been structured at the Higher Education European State and whether it has been promoted by the OEI. Also, it will be attended the way that this supranational policy aboard the civic and identity components, that linked to the social mission cooperate for the promotion of common citizenship. As a result of the analysis made we can affirm that the approach of the learning-service constitutes an emergent tendency on a global scale, appropriate to develop effectively the third mission or social mission of the university.

AbstractThis essay examines how contemporary evangelical overseas missions carried out by the churches of the so-called majority world are imbricated with neocolonialism, especially U.S. neocolonialism underpinned by its military hegemony, in light of the South Korean mission fiasco in Afghanistan in summer 2007. Author situates the 2007 South Korean missionary hostage case within the transnational social field of evangelical Christians, which helps the reader understand the South Korean hostage incident as not just a single isolated case of Korean Christianity. Through the examination of the common biblical, theological, and cultural references in which transnational connections among evangelical Christians are rooted, this essay illuminates how contemporary evangelical missions are involved in the neocolonial systems of power in the current global context. This essay also pays closer attention to the ways in which the 2007 South Korean mission in Afghanistan has revealed, wittingly or unwittingly, “cracks and contradictions” in the U.S. imperialist military interventions in Afghanistan, a region once called the “graveyard of empires.”

How much do foundations change their missions over time? Grant making emphases may shift due to the evolving preferences of trustees and directors, the changing needs of grant recipients, the location of the successor trustees, and so on. A countervailing force to this change is donor control. The founding donor’s stipulations and values figure prominently as legal and sentimental forces that could enhance mission permanence despite the passing of generations. This study first proposes a mission change theory framework designed for the long time span of endowed family foundations. Via changes in the stated location of the grant making and the field of the grants made (e.g., from grants for religious instruction to grants for arts), we then measure the revealed preferences of trustees and how their grant making practices change over the decades.

Full textAbstract:
The interactions between the higher education sector and society and industry have been attracting increased attention in terms of ways to develop social innovation solutions to societal problems. Despite calls from politicians and the existence of some guidelines, we know little about how higher education could incorporate social innovation activities into its structure and missions. This study examines some practice experiences in two southern European public universities in Portugal and Spain. We show that the third mission of universities, which includes social innovation, is both linked to the first two missions of teaching and research, depending on the university’s historical and social context. The high dependence of higher education institutions on economic returns increases the importance of political action to drive the development of social innovation activities. This conditioning factor seems to be intrinsic to some of the barriers that have been identified, such as lack of legitimization and recognition of social innovation practices at the formal governmental level.

Full textAbstract:
This article highlights mission challenges presented by the intensified movement of people in South Africa with a view to identify opportunities for Christian mission and challenge demagoguing in the context of growing intolerance. Migration is identified as an opportunity for mission and discussed as one of the untapped resources not just for mission, but also for economic development and social transformation. Compassion fatigue and complex challenges presented by COVID-19 have eroded traditional roles that ensured hospitality to strangers and despite an increase in scholarly interest in human mobility, policy makers, politicians and economists have not taken migration flows within the South African context seriously. This has serious missional implications and requires restoration of ubuntu as a biblical imperative.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the plethora of empirical evidence on the associations between the third mission of academic scholars (i.e., academic engagement, academic commercialization, and public engagement) and their performance regarding two other missions (teaching and research), we have not known much about such relationships in the context of emerging countries such as Vietnam. To examine this problem, we delivered a survey with 245 Vietnamese academic scholars. Findings extracted from exploratory factor analysis revealed that the third mission of Vietnamese academic scholars might be divided into two distinct factors: (i) academic engagement and commercialization and (ii) public engagement and extra work. Subsequently, results of multiple regression revealed that while both academic engagement and commercialization, public engagement and extra work, as well as the interaction of these two factors, have positive impacts on research performance, only the second factor has a positive impact on teaching performance. This study extended the current mixed understandings on the associations among the three missions of academic scholars with evidence from an emerging country such as Vietnam. This study also provides implications for stakeholders, including policymakers, university leaders, and industry practitioners.

Full textAbstract:
The article is dedicated to the growing social role of universities under knowledge society and its revision during wartime and post-war revival. This role has not received due attention of Ukrainian scholars and higher education stakeholders; on the contrary, in western academic discourse university third mission (also referred to as social mission) is actively discussed and several studies on university roles during conflict and post-conflict recovery are available. The article aims at conceptualization of university third mission relevant for Ukraine’s higher education of today as the country is striving towards knowledge society, higher education modernization and its alignment with European Higher Education Area, as well as fighting against Russian Federation aggression and planning economic recovery and national revival. Knowledge is a key concept in interpretation and definitions of three university missions: knowledge is generated or produced via research (second mission); it is disseminated and promoted via teaching and learning (first mission); the essence of the third / social mission is to apply knowledge for problem-solving and general societal benefit. Application of knowledge is not limited to technological innovations and know-hows and covers social, humanitarian, cultural, business and entrepreneurship, economic, political and other domains. Knowledge is becoming the major problem-solving tool; and demand for knowledge is growing among different categories of knowledge workers engaged in problem definition, decision-making and implementation in different economic sectors and spheres of life. Problems and challenges incurred by war make them the most serious grievances of today’s Ukraine. Multiple challenges faced by Ukrainian society, economy, territories, industries will require the wisdom of all Ukrainian higher education institutions and knowledge workers and can only be addressed effectively via innovative approaches and mobilization of many partners: local and international, academic and non-academic, private and public, non-profit and commercial. Due to their specific features (multidiscipline expertise, access to international knowledge sharing and good practices exchange, non-profit focus, multiple perspectives and diversity of opinions), universities like no other institutions are well-positioned to establish and run partnerships, project consortia, lead innovation ecosystems, catalyse and contribute to reconstruction and revival processes.
