Citizenship and the pursuit of the worthy life
\"What does citizenship have to do with living a worthy human life? Political scientists and philosophers who study the practice of citizenship, including Rawlsian liberals and Niebuhrian realists, have tended to either relegate this question to the private realm or insist that ethical principles must be silenced or seriously compromised in our deliberations as citizens. This book argues that the insulation of public life from the ethical standpoint puts in jeopardy not only our integrity as persons but also the legitimacy and long-term survival of our political communities. In response to this predicament, David Thunder aims to rehabilitate the ethical standpoint in political philosophy, by defending the legitimacy and importance of giving full play to our deepest ethical commitments in our civic roles and developing a set of guidelines for citizens who wish to enact their civic roles with integrity. In this way, this book provokes a lively conversation about the ethical foundations of public life in constitutional democracies\"-- Provided by publisher.

Friends, Citizens, Strangers
All human relationships are not created equal; attachments between close associates ('friends'), compatriots ('citizens'), and humans ('strangers') vary greatly in terms of their character and importance. From a critical standpoint, though, which type of attachment should take priority? Are we morally obliged to think of ourselves first and foremost as members of the human race, or should we prioritize our allegiance to a particular nation, or our personal friendships above our humanity?
InFriends, Citizens, Strangers, Richard Vernon considers these questions, and addresses the implications of various answers. Vernon grounds his investigation in the work of Locke, Wollstonecraft, George Eliot, and J.S. Mill in England, and Rousseau, Comte, Proudhon, and Bergson in France. He explores what these thinkers have to say about the theme in question, and in turn what that theme reveals about basic issues in their own work. Vernon also turns to contemporary thought to explore the issue: the idea of a 'crime against humanity' as an assertion of the moral standing of strangers, the idea of moral partialism, the claim that compatriots inherit historical obligations, and the 'associativist' view that obligations are of two distinct kinds, partial and universal. Finally, drawing on both the historical and contemporary sources discussed,Friends, Citizen, Strangersproposes a solution: a moderate form of cosmopolitanism that finds a place for multiple levels of attachment and association. This work will prove useful not only to scholars of the authors discussed, but also to those interested in ethics and political theory more broadly.

Legal and Ethical Citizenship in Citizen Science
Citizen science in research is framed as a democratic form of public participation. There is a lack of scientific research in public administration literature that focus on how participation in citizen science is structured through legal and ethical expectations and how it shapes legitimacy. Two main questions are asked in this article: 1) How legal and ethical dimensions of citizenship structure participation in citizen science? and 2) What legitimacy risks emerge when legal protections and ethical expectations are misaligned? Using a conceptual research design based on theory and normative analysis, the article focuses on illustrative selection of interdisciplinary citizen science governance, deliberative democratic theory and normative approaches to citizenship in public administration. An analytical framework is developed that distinguishes legal and ethical citizenship and legitimacy as participatory dimensions. Results show how legal protection can generate procedural compliance, but if ethical expectations are left aside, the risk of participation without influence, moral asymmetry and legitimacy gaps arise.

Modeling Corporate Citizenship and Its Relationship with Organizational Citizenship Behaviors
Citizenship, such as corporate citizenship and organizational citizenship, has been an important issue in business management for decades. This study proposes a research model from the perspectives of social identity and resource allocation, by examining the influence of corporate citizenship on organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs). In the model, OCBs are positively influenced by perceived legal citizenship and perceived ethical citizenship, while negatively influenced by perceived discretionary citizenship. Empirical testing using a survey of personnel from 18 large firms confirms most of our hypothesized effects. Theoretical and managerial implications of our findings are discussed.

Modeling Corporate Citizenship, Organizational Trust, and Work Engagement Based on Attachment Theory
This study proposes a research model based on attachment theory, which examines the role of corporate citizenship in the formation of organizational trust and work engagement. In the model, work engagement is directly influenced by four dimensions of perceived corporate citizenship, including economic, legal, ethical, and discretionary citizenship, while work engagement is also indirectly affected by perceived corporate citizenship through the mediation of organizational trust. Empirical testing using a survey of personnel from 12 large firms confirms most of our hypothesized effects. Finally, theoretical and managerial implications of our findings are discussed.

Refugeehood and the postconflict subject : reconsidering minor losses
\"Being a \"refugee\" is not simply the act of flight or a matter of being defined as such by a set of determination procedures. It is an ontological condition, structured by the politics of law, affect and territory. Refugeehood and the Post-Conflict Subject is an exploration of the variable facets of refugeehood, their interconnections, and their intended and unintended consequences. Based on more than a decade of research on the island of Cyprus, author Olga Demetriou examines how different groups of \"refugees\" coexist, and how this co-existence invites re-interpretations of the law and its politics. The long-standing political conflict in Cyprus has produced not just the paradigmatic, legally recognized \"refugee\" but also other groups of displaced persons not so categorized. The people and circumstances encountered reveal the tensions and contestations within which the refugee regime is mired, within and beyond the 1951 Refugee Convention; Demetriou argues that any re-interpretation that will take account of these tensions will also need to recognize that these minor losses are not incidental to refugeehood but an intrinsic part of the wider issues at play\"-- Provided by publisher.

Modeling Job Pursuit Intention: Moderating Mechanisms of Socio-Environmental Consciousness
Many scholars have suggested the relationship between corporate social performance and its ability to attract a large number of high-quality job applicants, because previous literature indicates that employees with strong social awareness help create a high-performance organization. For that reason, an important issue for successful business recruitment is how to boost the pursuit intention of job seekers. This study discusses such issue by proposing a model based on signaling theory and cognitive dissonance theory. In the proposed model of this study, the positive relationships between four dimensions of corporate social performance and job pursuit intention are hypothetically moderated by socio-environmental consciousness. The proposed hypotheses of this research were empirically tested using the data from graduating students seeking a job. The empirical findings of this study complement previous literature by discussing how corporate social performance benefits business firms from a perspective of strengthened human resources and recruitment. Finally, managerial implications for business managers based on the findings herein are provided.
