“…Specific Versus General Beliefs Basing their argument on Fishbein and Ajzen's theory and others' speculation (e.g., Kochan et al 1986), Deshpande and Fiorito (1989) argued that one possible reason for the discrepancy between union instrumentality perceptions and voting intentions was differing levels of specificity. That is, instrumentality perception questions were typically cast in "unions in general" terms, while voting intentions were always in terms of the worker's current workplace.…”

“…Another potentially important element was the presence of unions, which seemed likely to affect career practices inasmuch as industrial relations have a bearing on HRM (Guest, 1995;Heckscher, 1988;Kochan, Katz, & McKersie, 1986). Past works indicated how different types of organizations tend to have different levels of unionization, and it was of interest to examine possible associations between unionization and the type of career management practiced in organizations.…”

A key ingredient in the knowledge economy is the development of people's careers. Companies approach career development in a variety of ways. To better understand how these approaches fit together and how they are used to address different situations, the authors surveyed 194 United Kingdom companies and identified five groups of practices. These groups were associated with certain organizational characteristics. Drawing on concepts from the careers literature, the authors suggest a two-dimensional model to explore how these groups of practices can be systematically understood and applied.

“…This approach also can be found in the industrial-relations literature (Kochan et al 1986;Whalen 2011), but the approach is even more pervasive in the ''public issues education'' work of the US Cooperative Extension service, which has used it for decades to help communities address farm and land use issues, tax policies, and local economic development questions (Patton and Blaine 2001;Barrows 1993;Flinchbaugh 1993). The approach has also been used to consider the future of retirement security in the United States (Whalen 2005a).…”

Citizens and policymakers in many nations are becoming increasingly concerned about large budget deficits and mounting long-term fiscal policy challenges. At the same time, slow economic growth in the United States and Europe is causing some people to demand more government spending (and lower taxes) and others to question the efficacy of fiscal policy. Against that backdrop, institutional economists are exhibiting renewed interest in the field of public finance. This article responds by outlining four core concepts of institutionalist public finance: problem solving, institutional analysis, strategic choice, and stakeholder engagement. What distinguishes the perspective of institutionalism from that of neoclassical economics, today's dominant economic paradigm, is described in the course of the discussion. The core concepts of institutionalist public finance offer a coherent approach to the study of fiscal policy questions. Those concepts were first fashioned decades ago, but remain relevant: institutionalism continues to provide a solid basis for constructive analyses of fiscal challenges.
