Sinopsis

Office Rivalries explores the complex role of workplace competition in modern organizations, moving beyond simple notions of "good" or "bad." It examines how competition, a key element of organizational behavior, impacts employee motivation, productivity, and corporate culture, drawing from psychology and management theory. The book highlights that while competition can drive performance, it may also corrode collaboration, especially when it becomes toxic. Interestingly, the type of competition—individual versus team-based—significantly shapes employee behavior and organizational success. 

 
The book begins by establishing a theoretical context, including concepts like social comparison theory. Progressing through four parts, it defines different types of rivalries, explores motivational aspects, investigates cultural dimensions, and synthesizes research for practical strategies. 

 
Through case studies and empirical research, Office Rivalries provides practical insights for managers and employees to navigate workplace competition effectively, emphasizing a balance between healthy competition and mitigating negative consequences, ultimately fostering a fair, transparent, and ethical environment.

Adoption - Building a Safe and...

Stacey Wilmore

Adoption is a profound and life-altering experience, one that reshapes the lives of both children and parents. It is a journey that begins with the desire to provide a child with the safety, love, and support they need to grow, while also offering parents the opportunity to nurture and build a family. Adoption is unique because it is not just a legal process, but an emotional and relational journey that involves new beginnings, hopes, and dreams for the future.
For adoptive parents, the decision to adopt can be filled with excitement, but also with uncertainty and challenges. The process itself can be complex, involving a range of legal, emotional, and logistical steps. It requires careful preparation, openness to learning, and a deep understanding of the child’s needs, which may include navigating loss, identity, and the need for belonging. Adoptive parents often face questions about how to best bond with their child, how to create a secure and nurturing environment, and how to build a lasting and trusting relationship.
For the child, adoption is a journey of its own. It involves the experience of joining a new family, which may include adjustments to a new home, new caregivers, and, in some cases, a new culture or environment. Children may struggle with feelings of loss or confusion, and the process of building trust and attachment can take time. However, with the right guidance, care, and patience, adoption can also provide children with a fresh start—an opportunity to experience love, stability, and the sense of belonging that every child deserves.

Justice on Both Sides -...

Maisha T. Winn

Restorative justice represents "a paradigm shift in the way Americans conceptualize and administer punishment," says author Maisha T. Winn, from a focus on crime to a focus on harm, including the needs of both those who were harmed and those who caused it. 
 
 
 
Her book, Justice on Both Sides, provides an urgently needed, comprehensive account of the value of restorative justice and how contemporary schools can implement effective practices to address inequalities associated with race, class, and gender. 
 
 
  
Winn, a restorative justice practitioner and scholar, draws on her extensive experience as a coach to school leaders and teachers to show how indispensable restorative justice is in understanding and addressing the educational needs of students, particularly disadvantaged youth. Justice on Both Sides makes a major contribution by demonstrating how this actually works in schools and how it can be integrated into a range of educational settings. It also emphasizes how language and labeling must be addressed in any fruitful restorative effort. Ultimately, Winn makes the case for restorative justice as a crucial answer, at least in part, to the unequal practices and opportunities in American schools.

Webfare - A Manifesto for...

Maurizio Ferraris

From time immemorial, humans have been making deals, consuming goods, cultivating interests, thereby manifesting specific forms of life. Now, these forms of life solidify automatically by transforming into data. Webfare, a form of digital welfare, seeks to initiate a Copernican revolution that places need instead of merit at the center of society. In 21st-century welfare, consumption and production will be considered as the two faces of the same reality. The possibility to create new value is precisely what sets Webfare apart from traditional welfare: it recognizes the new value created by the Web, and aims to use it for everyone's well-being.
