The purpose of this study is to survey the relationship between organizational justice and organizational efficacy in higher education institutes in Iran. The research methodology used is mapping studies research tools comprising the standard questionnaires of organizational justice. Niehoff-Morfen and Pearsons organizational efficacy also confirm its validity and their reliability was measured by Cronbach test as 81 and 89% respectively. The statistical population (862) was divided into two subgroups: academic board members and all recruited office staff in higher education institutes of North Khorasan. The sampling group (286) was randomly chosen based on Morgan Table from the classified recruited employees of higher education institutes in Bojnord. The main hypothesis was confirmed with 99% reliability by using correlation tests, and a significant relationship was observed between organizational justice components namely: justice principles of distributive equity and distributive justice equality with organizational efficacy by 99% reliability. But the relationship between the principle of need to distributive justice and organizational efficacy and the impact of distributive justice other than interactional justice on organizational efficacy was not confirmed. Lisrel output shows no indirect impact of organizational justice on organizational efficacy and occupational and personal factors. Therefore, we can say, 'Efficacy For' is regarded by many groups including the people who work in higher education organizations as a critical parameter which depends on many factors. The findings show that organizational justice is a way to improve efficacy and it requires, mostly, full identification of effective attitudes on organizational justice and a consideration of its parameters.

Harold Maurice Abrahams (1899-1978) – the British-Jewish athlete made famous by the film Chariots of Fire - won gold for Britain in the 100 yard sprint in the 1924 Paris Olympics. Far from being the ‘outsider’ depicted in Chariots of Fire, however, Abrahams’ ‘Anglicisation’ was extensive and played an important role in his life before, during and after his athletics career. This article will show that this film falsely portrays Abrahams as a victim of powerful anti-Semitism and that detailed historical analysis shows instead that his integration went hand-in-hand with his sporting success – something which was celebrated by British Jewry. Such was his assimilation, that by 1936 – a year when Abrahams courted controversy over his stance on the Berlin Olympics – he was criticised for having ‘lost’ all attachment to the community of his birth. As will be shown, in contrast to the film, where Abrahams is seen to be ‘too Semitic’, the Bedford athlete was actually ‘thoroughly Anglicised’. A desire to move into or support middle-to-upper class British society characterised Abrahams personal and sporting life much more so than his Jewishness. As time progressed, Abrahams’ Jewish origins meant less and less, both to Harold himself and to those around him.

We develop and test a multidimensional scale measuring national identification. Drawing on the extant literature on nations and national identity, we propose national identification as an understanding of how individuals subjectively and dynamically relate to different characteristics of nations that we operationalize as the dimensions of symbolic, civic, and solidary identification. We discuss the development of a number of questionnaire items representing each of these dimensions and report results of various validity and reliability tests using data from three surveys we conducted in England, Germany, and Poland. Results in general confirm the three‐dimensional structure of the overall construct while at the same time suggesting country‐specific adaptations to the scale.

Komnas Perempuan telah mengidentifikasi 15 bentuk kekerasan seksual, salah satunya adalah perkosaan. Semakin hari semakin marak media memberitakan kasus korban perkosaan dengan berbagai modus. Maraknya pemberitaan tersebut hanya menjadi fenomena gunung es kasus perkosaan yang sesungguhnya terjadi. Sayangnya media bisa mengungkap identitas korban yang masih mengalami trauma psikologis, dengan berbagai kemasan pemberitaan yang menyudutkan korban. Kondisi ini menandakan masih menguatnya stigma terhadap korban perempuan dengan masih berkembangnya mitos mitos perkosaan di masyarakat serta minimnya penjeraan hukuman bagi pelaku sehingga terkesan kasus perkosaan terus menerus terjadi. Penegakkan hukumnya masih sangat normative berdasarkan KUHP dengan mengkaitkan nilai moral masyarakat. Pernyataan terbuka terkait dengan moral perempuan korban ini pernah diungkapkan oleh Fauzi Bowo selaku Gubernur DKI pada tahun 2011 yang menyatakan “Bayangkan saja kalau orang naik mikrolet duduknya pakai rok mini, kan agak gerah juga", terlontar paska terjadi perkosaan seorang mahasiswi di angkutan umum. Demikian pula ungkapan Ramli Mansur, Bupati Aceh Barat, yang mengatakan “perempuan yang tidak berpakaian Islami layak diperkosa”. Tindakan menyalahkan korban yang berlapis yang dialami oleh korban merupakan bagian kekerasan. Bisa berasal dari struktural Negara, media, masyarakat dan keluarga ini yang kemudian disebut blaming the victim. Kata Kunci : Perkosaan, perempuan, korban, blaming the victim, kriminalisasi, perlindungan.

L’11 settembre 1973 le Forze Armate cilene rovesciavano il governo Allende. La politica lasciava il campo alle armi e si apriva una lunga fase buia nella storia cilena, con ripercussioni anche in altri paesi. 73 si occupa di cosa successe poco prima e immediatamente dopo in Italia. Più precisamente, analizza l’impatto che il golpe ebbe sulla politica italiana, sul dibattito pubblico, sulla stampa, sulle relazioni sociali. Un contributo per rileggere le vicende cilene e italiane degli anni Sessanta e Settanta a venti anni della fine della guerra fredda; ma anche un ritratto di un’Italia ancora in grado di accogliere senza alcuna discriminazione e senza tentennamenti, e di una società tollerante e aperta al confronto.
