Personal Charisma or the economy macroeconomic indicators of presidential approval ratings in brazil
2011Co-Authors: Alex Luiz Ferreira, Sergio Naruhiko SakuraiAbstract:Abstract We test the degree to which presidential approval ratings are related to a series of economic indicators, controlling for the political scenario in Brazil. Results, from 1999M9 until 2010M5, show that unemployment and the minimum wage are the main variables that affect the ratings. There is also evidence that President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva has a higher approval rate than President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, keeping constant a reasonable number of important domestic and foreign indicators. However, when controlled for a time trend, differences in popularity between both presidents vanish as the sample size grows. Our results support the conclusion that the good state of the economy (given no political turmoil) is the main factor that explains and predicts Lula's high popularity.

2009Co-Authors: Alex Luiz Ferreira, Sergio Naruhiko SakuraiAbstract:We test the degree to which presidential approval ratings are related to a series of eco- nomic indicators, controlling for the political scenario in Brazil. Results, from 1999M9 until 2009M2, show that unemployment is the main variable that a®ects the ratings. There is also evidence that President Luis In¶acio Lula da Silva has a higher approval rate (approximately 7%) than President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, keeping constant a reasonable number of important domestic and foreign indicators. Our results support the conclusion that the good state of the economy (given no political turmoil) is the main factor that explains and predicts Lula's high popularity.

Organisational Culture and Leadership – Joint Vessels?☆
2015Co-Authors: Hana Mohelska, Marcela SokolovaAbstract:Organisational culture and leadership has been of interest to scientists as well as managers for several decades. A well-built and managed organisational culture can create a significant competitive advantage for a company. Studying and understanding organisational culture is based on culture science in general and it is characterised by an inter-disciplinary approach; this brings methods and knowledge together, especially in sociology, psychology, economics and management. Staff leadership is a priority task for all managers in the organisation, no matter what level of hierarchy they operate at. Its performance is linked to both successes and failures of the entire organisation and all of their employees. It is clear that the success of a manager in leading people is judged by work performance and team results, created from their subordinates. Managers must affect them so that the internal processes of the organisation lead to a high level of productivity of the resources used by an organisation, to ensure high quality products and services offered by an organisation and to reduce the costs of the organisation. This requirement can be met by the managers only if they manage to convince all their co-workers to perform work tasks efficiently and highly effective as well as with pleasure. A manager must not only be a good specialist, but must also be a good psychologist, to know the impact of social aspects on the behaviour of the working group, and above all they must have the Personal Charisma - leadership skills. The best way a manager can lead workers is to effect the behaviour of collaborators by their own example. This article aims to describe the current theoretical basis for the issue of organisational culture and on the basis of custom investigation to seek the answer to the research question of the inter-dependence of organisational culture and leadership.

La Monarchie éclairée de l’abbé de Saint-Pierre (1658-1743), une science politique des Modernes
2020Co-Authors: Dornier CaroleAbstract:International audienceThe Abbé de Saint-Pierre, best known for his Project for Perpetual Peace, in fact left a much larger and more coherent body of political and moral writing, but it has been only partially studied. This book, the first systematic exploration of his entire corpus, offers a complete re-evaluation of this important author’s contributions to the Enlightenment. From the first decades of the 18th century, Saint-Pierre set forth a pioneering vision of politics as the harmonization of interests, anticipating Bentham as a utilitarian. He imagines replacing the system of inherited power and clientele networks which structured Old Regime society and determined the exercise of power under absolutism, with a rationalized, meritocratic and dynamic organization. He argued for the political values of social utility and public good to take the place of the Christian ideals of perfection and the aristocratic ideals of Personal Charisma. As a deist seeking to reconcile morality and religion, Saint-Pierre argued that the search for salvation through active piety must also promote social justice and beneficence -- and that only the indivisible power of a rationalized monarch, informed by competent elites, could carry out the reforms necessary to yield a government which would produce the greatest happiness for the greatest number. Saint-Pierre, thus, provided among the first arguments for an imposed welfare state, well before the sources more frequently associated with that idea -- political economists, cameralists and the physiocrats.L’abbé de Saint-Pierre, connu pour son Projet de paix perpétuelle, a laissé un ensemble bien plus vaste et cohérent d’écrits politiques et moraux jusqu’alors dispersés et partiellement étudiés. Le présent ouvrage, exploitant systématiquement la totalité de l’oeuvre, en propose la complète réévaluation. Dès les premières décennies du XVIIIe siècle, Saint-Pierre promeut une harmonisation artificielle des intérêts, assurée par l’intervention politique et s’affirme, avant Bentham, comme l’un des premiers utilitaristes. Il imagine de substituer à la patrimonialisation, aux recommandations et clientèles qui structuraient la société de son temps et déterminaient l’exercice du pouvoir, une organisation rationnelle, méritocratique et dynamique. ll remplace les valeurs Charismatiques fondant la perfection chrétienne ou la grandeur aristocratique par les objectifs de l’utilité et du bien public. Pour ce déiste conciliant moralité et religion, la recherche du salut par une piété active doit favoriser la justice et la bienfaisance. Selon lui, seul le pouvoir indivisible d’un monarque informé par des élites compétentes peut réaliser des réformes nécessaires au bonheur du plus grand nombre. Promoteur d’un État de bien-être imposé autoritairement, il représente, avant le plein essor de l’économie politique, des sciences camérales et de la doctrine des physiocrates, une dimension méconnue des Lumières politiques que cette étude entend souligner.--
