A 'Paired Cases Contrast' Method in the Absence of Reliable Metrics in Organizational Research
We offer initial proof for a 'contrast of paired cases' method for arriving at statistically reliable insights about innovation, which, our data demonstrated, has the potential for being generalized to many types of organizations, rather than being restricted to organizations of a particular size, type, or sector. Our method relied on making sure respondents drew sharp contrasts between two different organizations with which they were intimately …
Testing Parsons
Talcott Parsons' ideas are shown to have operational meaning when applied to organizations in two respects. (1) Parsons' typology of system needs provides a meaningful way of categorizing administrative rules (protocols) developed by the subunit under study, and (2) 'phase dominance,' anticipated by structural functionalists, is tested. Our analysis adds to Parsons' framework (a) by helping to clarify the distinctive (and generally unappreciated)…

Restorative Justice for Domestic Violence Victims
Restorative Justice for Domestic Violence Victims uses a rich and detailed set of interviews and complementary survey data to make a strong case for introducing restorative justice principles into the existing menu of services for victims of domestic violence. Guided primarily by concerns of victim safety, domestic violence theorists and practitioners have been wary of introducing restorative justice principled programs in the domestic violence a…
Using Department Protocols as Indicators of Emergent Organizational Reality in a Ground‐Level Administrative Subunit
This study examines administrative protocols established by a ground‐level subunit in a complex organization during a 13‐year period. The protocols are identifiable, verifiable, and (for the questions examined in this study) objectively interpretable. The authors report tangible evidence that the subunit developed some of its own emergent organizational characteristics, consistent with predictions using a loose coupling model. Copresent, however,…

Religion and Japanese Americans' Views of their World War II Incarceration
In this paper, we explore the effects that the two major, broad religious orientations found in the Japanese American community, Buddhism and Protestantism, may have had on how Nisei reacted to, and recall, their wartime experiences. A caveat is warranted before we proceed. We recognize that there is a great deal of variability in religious beliefs and practices within these two categories. However, our omnibus survey instrument only permitted re…
Bridging and bonding capital
Proclaims that in recent years there has been considerable research examining the benefits of social connectedness for a variety of outcomes, such as health and general well being. Argues, while bonding capital is beneficial to the self‐interest of the individual or small group, bridging capital is what is necessary to build a collective identity as a nation. Concludes that because people have varying access, with regard to formal organizations, …
Self-Employment Rates of Asian Immigrant Groups
Self-employment rates and related business activities of four groups of recent adult Asian immigrants (Koreans, Chinese, Asian Indians, and Vietnamese) are empirically examined with the 1990 census data. As expected, both intra- and intergroup differences in self-employment rates are observed among the four groups. Korean immigrants are sharply different from other Asian immigrant groups in their rate of self-employment and pattern of intragroup …

Trends in Asian American Racial/Ethnic Intermarriage
In this paper, we use data from the 1990 census to compare patterns of Asian American intermarriage with those reported by Lee and Yamanaka (1990). Lee and Yamanaka (1990) used data from the 1980 census to examine patterns of Asian American racial and ethnic intermarriage. They reported that one- quarter of married Asian Americans were outmarried; of these, 90% were married to non-Asians. Variations by gender and nativity were also observed. Wome…
Asian Indian Americans in the Bay Area and the Glass Ceiling
Using the 1990 5% PUMS census data, this paper explores the glass ceiling experiences of college educated Asian Indian Americans in the Bay Area. Theoretical assumptions derived from human capital, assimilation, labor market structures, size discrimination, and cost of race perspectives are used to predict glass ceiling experiences. Separate analyses are conducted for males and females. U.S. born white males and females are used as benchmarks in …
Domestic Violence by Extended Family Members in India
Through an analysis of 15 case studies of domestic violence reported from Bombay, India, this article explores ways in which family members, in particular female kin such as mothers-in-law, contribute to the violence perpetrated by husbands against wives. These patterns vary from the typical scenario of the lone man battering the lone woman. Structurally and culturally, older women in Indian families are subject to the authority of men, whereas s…
Dependency and Severity of Abuse
This study utilizes data collected from the legal files of a Battered Women's Services Agency in Northern California to identify some factors that inhibit a female client's persistence in obtaining a three-year restraining order. The impact of dependence (familial and economic) on the abuser and of severity of abuse are examined. Choice of these factors are guided by the feminist theory of gendered violence and the theories of cycles of violence …

Ecological Approach in Practice
In an attempt to suggest ecologically sensitive program models which are developmentally responsive to the needs of adolescent parents and their children, this paper reviews existing research to identify the critical ecologies in their lives, evaluates existing program models for their ecological sensitivity, and presents a case study of the ecological approach in practice. Drawing from Bronfenbrenner's ecological perspective and typology of syst…
Gender and Political Economy
As women from many walks of life now consciously struggle with the inequitable burdens they bear in relation to their livelihood and their political life, these burdens are increasingly viewed as being imposed on them by systems that support their subordination. A vigorous literature has developed on gender from a political-economic perspective, representing a global attempt to understand social transformations of gender derived from colonialism,…
Ethnicity and Effects of Age Gap between Unmarried Adolescent Mothers and Partners
This article examines ethnic differences in the effects of the age gap between unmarried adolescent mothers and their partners. Effects are identified bothfor unmarried adolescent mothers and their children who, between 1986 and 1988, had participated in programs for pregnant and parenting adolescents located in poor, resource-deprived communities across Illinois. Partners of one out offive Black adolescents were at least 5 years older than the u…
Intra-group Differences in Business Participation
This investigates the ethnic and nativity differentials in self-employment based on small-business experiences of three Asian immigrant groups in the U.S. –Korean, Chinese, and Asian Indians. In light of the 1980 Census data, the intra- and the inter-group differences in the business participation rates of these Asian immigrant groups are examined. Findings reveal that each group has substantial intra-group differences in the business participati…
