Revolving Doors, Corporate Performance, and Corruption of Markets
Much debate has surrounded the issue of revolving doors (RDs) between private and public employment. Defenders of the practice argue that RDs enhance the performance of the firm. Elite theorists dispute this claim and contend that RDs distort economic and political marketplaces. An examination of the RDs of 3,815 officers of the top 200 U.S. firms reveals little support for the argument for improved performance. In contrast, the market distortion…
Infertility: His and Hers
Using qualitative data based on interviews with 22 married infertile couples living in western New York State, we describe the ways in which husbands and wives interact in the process of constructing their infertility. The wives experienced infertility as a cataclysmic role failure. Husbands tended to see infertility as a disconcerting event but not as a tragedy. Couples tended to see infertility as a problem for wives. Frustration and lack of co…
Lessons at the Bottom: Worker Nonparticipation in Labor Management Committees as Situational Adjustment
Nonparticipation is the modal response of workers to worker participation schemes. Four case studies are analyzed to demonstrate how situational and role constraints in organizations make this the most practical adjustment. Organizational settings are viewed as socializing contexts that teach workers what is expected, what is valued, and what actually pays off. Lessons leading to nonparticipation include (1) 'You're on the outside'; (2) 'Don't lo…

The social ethics of relief giving (the bases on which relief ought to be given) in natural disaster situations are explored through a case study of public reactions to Red Cross activities. Red Cross policies and public reactions to them are reviewed, and survey data pertaining to attitudes toward the Red Cross and toward relief giving in natural disasters of residents of a western New York county are presented. Specifically, public satisfaction…
