Inside the Compassionate Organization
The literature on management and organization studies suggests the time is right for a focus on ‘care and compassion’. The aim of this book is to answer this call by examining the cultural changes found within a particular ‘compassionate organization’—an English hospice—from its altruistic beginnings to the more professionalized culture of today. The study seeks to understand how its members identify or fail to identify with an organization where…
Introducing the Study
The chapter explains how the main aim of this book is to examine the culture of a ‘compassionate organization’—an English hospice—through the eyes of its members. The investigation is related to its social and historical context and, from these data, some conclusions are suggested about the relationship between organizational culture, identity, and image. Many previous studies have examined these fundamental elements within formal (frequently pri…
Reduced age differences in omission errors after prolonged exposure to response pacing contingencies
Use of Withdrawal of Reinforcement within the Escape-Avoidance Paradigm
With rats as Ss, an analog of shock escape-avoidance was developed in which withdrawal of positive reinforcement served in lieu of noxious stimulation. Efficient escape behavior developed with latencies varying as a function of the rate of reinforcement reinstated by the conditioned response, but avoidance behavior was infrequent. The results were considered from the standpoint of whether the escape response was positively reinforced through onse…
Differential Effects of Fear on Activity in Novel and Familiar Environments
The locomotor activity of mice was observed in an open field which was either novel or had been explored for 20 min. Immediately before entry into the open field, groups of Ss were given either 0, 4, or 12 shocks in an adjoining compartment. Ss given either 4 or 12 shocks showed a suppression of activity relative to the performance of nonshocked control Ss, suppression being more marked in the familiar than in the novel environment. Within the no…
