“…In other words, a new ‘imagination’ of economy, as Haiven (2011) reiterates, is necessary and should be radicalised to counter the monetary logic that blocks our imaginations of economies or the actualisation of social life through reasserting a social mechanism of values through care, cooperation and solidarity, as we claim here. In this pilot study, we demonstrate how working-class students – having less but contributing more – come together to help themselves and their community (Hui, Pun, Qiu, & Koo, 2019) and potentially lay the foundation for future working-class solidarity.…”

In contrast to the existing argument that the logic of capital has monetised almost every aspect of human relationships to the realm of exchange value, this article explores the social values that are practised by Chinese working-class youth as an alternative form of agency and everyday practice. Instead of understanding social values as a realm of value operating entirely outside the logic of exchange value, this article takes social values as the constitutive other of exchange value embodied in the neoliberalised form of capitalism. It attempts to develop a micro-foundation of social values or a social mechanism of values for understanding social protection and class solidarity. Employing in-depth interviews and ethnographic observations in vocational schools in China, at sites for the education and nurture of working-class youth, we ask what social values are, how they are perceived and exercised, and by whom. From students’ practices of care in schools, cooperation in the workplace and solidarity in the community, our goal is to build a micro-foundation of social values that challenges and goes beyond the logic of exchange value.

“…In late October, 2017, we invited all students (approximate N = 3000) in a higher education vocational college in Xi’an, China to take part in a self-administered online survey, which is part of a large-scale research project investigating the process of “learning-to-labor” among vocational college youth in China [41,42]. A total of 1649 respondents voluntarily participated in and completed the survey without any monetary incentives (response rate = 55%).…”

“…Background variables. The questionnaire also consisted of demographic information, including respondents’ age, sex, and hukou (i.e., official household registration being rural or nonrural), which is a proxy for socioeconomic status [41]. Regarding daily gaming frequency, respondents were asked questions such as “On average how much time do you spend on gaming every day?”, and they had to choose a response from eight categories, ranging from less than one hour to seven hours or more.…”

Given the increasing popularity of online game playing, the negative impacts of game addiction on both adolescents and adults attracted our attention. Previous studies based on the self-determination theory have examined the effects of the three basic psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness on problematic video game playing among Chinese young adults. Yet, as more evidence emerged pointing to the possible relation between need dissatisfaction and higher vulnerability for ill-being and psychopathology, the present study aimed to incorporate the impacts of both satisfaction and dissatisfaction for autonomy, competence, and relatedness in explaining Internet gaming disorder (IGD), a condition that may in turn impede eudaimonic well-being as indicated by flourishing. In a self-administered online survey with a valid sample of 1200 Chinese young adults aged 18–24 years (mean age = 19.48 years), the prevalence of probable IGD (for those who reported five or more symptoms in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) symptom list for IGD) was 7.5%. Our results showed that relatedness dissatisfaction positively predicted IGD symptoms after controlling for other need satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Also, flourishing was found to be negatively predicted by IGD. Finally, IGD was found to mediate the effect of relatedness dissatisfaction on flourishing. Our findings suggested a risk factor of relatedness dissatisfaction in predicting IGD, thereby significantly predicting flourishing.

“…Previous studies have revealed that employee's past work experience can produce their pro-social behaviour including pro-environmental behaviour [7] as well as affect their personal values [8]. Employee's past work experience increase the development of their professional values in their job which lead to be more quality and ethical.…”

The previous research in environmental management practices suggests employee’s green behaviour can be regarded as one of the important assets for business environmental endeavours. Nevertheless there is lack study that focuses on Malaysian chemical related industries. This paper aims to explore the nexus between employee’s work experience, employee’s past environmental experience, and employee’s perceived environmental experience. 202 questionnaire were distributed through postal survey to manufacturing plant employees from eight chemical manufacturing industries from four regions in Malaysia including northern, central, east-coast, and southern. Data were analyzed using structural equation modelling at least the square.Based on the analysis, the study revealed that the employee's work experience has significant positive correlation with environmental performance that is seen by employees.Nevertheless employee’s past environmental experience was otherwise. This study has significant managerial implication for Malaysian chemical related industry by showing that how employees can be important assets for the company to minimize the impact of chemical related industry to the environment.
