TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model to explain how support in response to human pain and suffering can sometimes result in negative effects on aid recipients, and they believe that this approach to helping based upon the two-stage model could become the primary effective method for providing assistance to those in need without creating dependency in the long run.
Abstract: Purpose Recently, organizational scholars and social scientists began emphasizing the importance of compassion and altruism and called for increased demonstrations of assistance, giving, empathy and other prosocial conduct toward those in need. Generally, we assume that help is beneficial to those who receive it, and current research on these positive behaviors primarily focuses on the advantages to those who provide it. Despite recent calls for increased levels of aiding the needy and underprivileged, helping may have downsides and adaptive costs to those who receive support that are frequently overlooked. The purpose of the study is to bring to light the potential harm in helping those who lack commitment to improvement, having “skin in the game”. Design/methodology/approach In addition to a literature review, the authors present a model to explain how support in response to human pain and suffering can sometimes result in negative effects on aid recipients. The model specifies two mechanisms, including participation of affected beneficiaries of assistance in the actual aid process and duration of help as factors that may expose vulnerable populations to more risk. Findings The literature strongly suggests that in some instances, helping can be detrimental, to the point where helping can even result in dependency. The authors do not suggest casting a blind eye to those in need, but rather to provide assistance that leads to self-sufficiency. Research limitations/implications Additional research – especially over the long-term – can provide researchers with more detailed results of this approach. Practical implications The findings of this paper can serve as a model approach to provide help that does not create dependency. Social implications Using this approach could provide the ideal method to address long-term social issues that would break the cycle of dependency. Originality/value The authors believe that this approach to helping based upon the two-stage model could become the primary effective method for providing assistance to those in need without creating dependency in the long run.

TL;DR: The authors argue that segregation of racial and ethnic groups on university and college campuses generally appear to exacerbate racial tensions and reinforce in-group and out-group interactions and biases, and that multicultural integration builds trust, reduces outgroup biases, increases friendships across race and ethnic lines, and advances racial reconciliation.
Abstract: At many U.S. universities, the tendency to self-segregate has become a familiar and accepted occurrence, evident in a wide array of college settings including housing and social gatherings, classes and training events, protests, and grievance sessions, and even separate commencement events. In many ways, this trend represents a return to the “separate but equal” doctrine ruled by the U.S. Supreme Court in Brown v. The Board of Education of Topeka (1954) as unconstitutional, which gave birth to the Civil Rights Movement and integration. This further resulted in numerous benefits related to cross-racial interaction and increased ethnic heterogeneity. Today, however, some college leaders endorse student petitions for “safe spaces” and separate, distinct programming based on various demographic characteristics and assert that such efforts enhance the college experience and create a greater sense of belonging for underrepresented student groups. Segregation appears to be re-emerging at many U.S. universities as an example of déjà vu all over again. In this paper, the authors argue that segregation of racial and ethnic groups on university and college campuses generally appear to exacerbate racial tensions and reinforce in-group and out-group interactions and biases. However, multicultural integration builds trust, reduces out-group biases, increases friendships across racial and ethnic lines, and advances racial reconciliation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a modelo conceptual, basado el analisis hermeneutico de la literatura a partir de 1978, in una muestra por conveniencia.
Abstract: El objetivo de este articulo es hacer visible el concepto de ‘comportamiento organizativo prosocial’ (COPS) y su relevancia para la gestion del conocimiento (GC) en el manejo del capital intelectual que representan los trabajadores. La investigacion se inicia con una pesquisa bibliometrica usando la herramienta Publish or Perish™ sobre la presencia del COPS en la literatura de la GC de 1987 a 2020, encontrando que el COPS esta mayormente ausente. A continuacion, se induce un modelo conceptual, basado el analisis hermeneutico de la literatura a partir de 1978, en una muestra por conveniencia. El modelo describe maneras en que el COPS es relevante en la dimension social de la GC, proporcionando un marco para afinar politicas y procedimientos que pueden conducir a mejores resultados en GC para las organizaciones empresariales. El modelo presentado muestra tambien como el COPS influye en el comportamiento de los trabajadores del conocimiento, afectando la dinamica social de la GC
