Jon P. Nelson

Journal of Public Affairs > 10 > 1‐2 > 74 - 87

This paper presents empirical evidence on the relationship between alcohol consumption and unemployment for an international panel of countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). I find a significant negative or pro‐cyclical relationship between unemployment and alcohol consumption, which agrees closely with prior estimates for the United States. This finding indicates...

Alcohol marketing and young people's drinking: what the evidence base suggests for policy

Ross Gordon, Gerard Hastings, Crawford Moodie

Journal of Public Affairs > 10 > 1‐2 > 88 - 101

As the influence of alcohol marketing on young people remains a highly contested topic we review the recent literature to examine if the debate has moved on. The extant literature shows that while many econometric studies suggest alcohol marketing to have a minimal effect on youth alcohol consumption, more focussed consumer studies, particularly recent research employing sophisticated longitudinal...

The use of female sexuality in Australian alcohol advertising: public policy implications of young adults' reactions to stereotypes

Sandra C. Jones, Amanda Reid

Journal of Public Affairs > 10 > 1‐2 > 19 - 35

Coinciding with the rise of ‘raunch culture’, a new female stereotype has emerged in advertising – the ‘lusty, busty exhibitionist’ who exudes sexual power and confidence. Previous research has generally found that women react less positively to female sexual images in alcohol advertising than males, but different sexual stereotypes have not been explicitly examined. The present study utilizes different...

Thomas F. Babor, Ziming Xuan, Donna Damon

Journal of Public Affairs > 10 > 1‐2 > 6 - 18

From a public health perspective, alcohol advertising should not be directed at vulnerable groups, nor should it portray excessive drinking or other objectionable content such as illegal activity. To promote the responsible advertising of alcoholic beverages, alcohol industry groups have developed self‐regulation guidelines that describe which types of content (and exposure markets) are unacceptable...

‘Most men drink… especially like when they play sports’ – alcohol advertising during sporting broadcasts and the potential impact on child audiences

Sandra C. Jones, Lyn Phillipson, Lance Barrie

Journal of Public Affairs > 10 > 1‐2 > 59 - 73

Alcohol advertising during sporting broadcasts, as well as the sponsorship of sporting events by the alcohol industry, is common practice in Australia, as in many other countries. The strength of the association between alcohol and sports prompts consideration of the potential for children who watch televised sport to be exposed to a considerable amount of alcohol advertising, and to learn to associate...

On the primacy of process: Brussels and Copenhagen

Tom Spencer

Journal of Public Affairs > 10 > 1‐2 > 102 - 106

The author seeks to demonstrate that process rather than personalities are the key to understanding political situations and their public affairs implications. He reviews the outcome of changes in EU process during the tumultuous twelve months ending in December 2009, concluding that the European Union has moved into a new phase where constitutional issues are of substantially reduced importance....

Journal of Public Affairs > 10 > 1‐2 > 36 - 49

In the wake of increasing evidence that youth exposure to alcohol marketing is a risk factor in underage drinking, public health researchers are trying a variety of methods to measure that exposure. Based on lessons learned from more than 20 reports on exposure produced by the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth, best practices in data sources, definitions of terms and specific measurement issues...

Ethical control and cultural change (in cultural dreams begin organizational responsibilities)

Slawomir Magala

Journal of Public Affairs > 10 > 3 > 139 - 151

Ethical control is based on transparent access to the accounts of responsible behaviour on the part of individual and organizational actors. It is usually linked to the idea of a checkpoint: where celibate rules, no sexual interaction can be allowed. However, organizing and managing climates in professional bureaucracies have always led towards the empowerment of the operatives (regional bishops and...

Governments demand compliance, ethics demands leadership

James M. Lager

Journal of Public Affairs > 10 > 3 > 216 - 224

Governments are imposing new rules and restrictions on businesses and their leaders in the wake of the recent economic crisis, attempting to address the regulatory failure and corporate avarice frequently blamed for the global recession. The ever‐present incentive for leaders to show profitability, coupled with the inability of governments or private industry to support continuous controls or monitoring,...

The sharp end: Real life challenges in a complex activity space

Keith T. Thomas, Allan D. Walker

Journal of Public Affairs > 10 > 3 > 186 - 199

Many forces are at play beneath the public face of organizations and particular tensions emerge when policy rhetoric encounters organizational and leadership reality. These inherent contextual tensions are explored at the sharp or operational end of leadership, the organizational space where policies are implemented, values enacted and practices evidenced. The sharp end leaves little room for intellectual...

Ethical infrastructure: A new requirement of the state's industrial policy

Chong Ju Choi, Diana Digol

Journal of Public Affairs > 10 > 3 > 225 - 232

Ethics of business leadership has witnessed a renewed interest in recent years provoked perhaps by a number of cases of business leadership failure. Unlike the critics of the industrial policy and direct market intervention by the state, in this paper we argue for an increased role of the state in imposing the ethical standards and the need to integrate the ethical infrastructure into the state's...

Ethics and leadership: Enablers and stumbling blocks

Kurt April, Kai Peters, Kirsten Locke, Caroline Mlambo

Journal of Public Affairs > 10 > 3 > 152 - 172

Many of the scandals, indiscretions and collapses, over the last few years, at formerly venerated organizations were the results of toxic relationships, dubious economic models, opaque workplace paradigms, as well as questionable collective and individual actions and behaviours of people who, ordinarily, would not be considered ‘typically criminal’. The individuals involved have typically been people...

Chinese folk wisdom: Implications for guarding against unethical practices by Chinese managers

Ricky W. F. Szeto

Journal of Public Affairs > 10 > 3 > 173 - 185

Recent research showed that the driving forces behind the contemporary development of business ethics in China were Confucianism, Maoism and foreign business ethics. Economic reforms in China had brought in the Western concept of capitalism which undermined traditional Confucian values in business dealings. Conducting a survey on practicing business managers in China, we examined the impact of Chinese...

This paper introduces the concept of Corporate Psychopaths as ruthless employees who can successfully gain entry to organizations and can then get promoted within those organizations to reach senior managerial and leadership positions. What little empirical research currently exists supports the view that Corporate Psychopaths are more commonly found at senior levels of organizations. This paper presents...
