In tandem with the country’s ‘opening up’, Chinese feminism has sought to be ‘connected’ (jiegui) with international feminism in order to break away from the Maoist confine and the state-dictated gender ideology and political praxis. The ‘international’ feminism that has ‘travelled to’ China, however, turns out to be overwhelmingly US feminist -theories, and, over the latest years, a self-reflection over this leaning-to-one-side (the west) and the tilted power relations between Chinese and US feminism has come to a clear articulation in the Chinese feminist community. This paper joins the debate. It brings in Eastern European feminisms (EEF) and discusses the potential of EEF in becoming a new source of inspiration for feminist theorizing and organizing in China. Starting with a brief account of the Eastern Europe’s post-socialist transition and encounter with Western feminism, the paper outlines four central tenets of Eastern European feminisms and dwells upon how these constitute a formidable challenge to the hegemony of Western feminism. In the end, the paper discusses the prospect of looking eastward and embracing Eastern European feminisms and points out the relevance of Eastern European feminisms for the transformation of Chinese feminism.","PeriodicalId":302956,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 3rd International Conference on Modern Research in Social Sciences","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121840966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Effecting Flow: The Relationship between the Perceived Team Climate for Innovations and the Experience of Flow and Worry","authors":"Laura Sophie Aichroth","doi":"10.33422/3rd.icmrss.2020.11.73","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33422/3rd.icmrss.2020.11.73","url":null,"abstract":". Over the past decades, the interest in research and practical recommendations on innovation climate at team and organizational level has grown. Furthermore, the positive effects of flow experience have become increasingly present at work. For the target group of members of product software development teams in Germany (N = 323), this study identified a significantly positive relation between the perceived team climate for innovations and the individual flow experience, whereas there is no significant relation between the perceived team climate for innovations and the individual experience of worry. Gender has no moderating effect. Regarding the four dimensions of the team climate for innovations, the expression of vision is relatively low for the target group of product software development teams in Germany compared to the norm tables. Participative safety is comparably high and task orientation and support for innovations are moderately distinctive. This means, all dimensions, except participative safety, need interventions in order to strengthen the team climate for innovations itself and thereby foster the flow experience. Since the extent of experiencing both flow and worry is relatively high, software product development itself and respectively the work environments seem to be stimulating, but also concerning for team members, which is why these aspects need action.","PeriodicalId":302956,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 3rd International Conference on Modern Research in Social Sciences","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126244207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The outstanding feature of this demographic transition is that it unevenly distributed as its tempo has differed across the globe. Regardless of the magnitude or speed of the decline, two main reasons have been associated with low fertility, namely, changes in the average number of children born to a woman throughout her reproductive period and the timing of this event in the life course. This was the context of the present study as it sought to understand the recent fertility transition in South Africa by understanding the factors that shape the child-timing desires of women who are married or cohabiting. Specifically, the study sought to examine and compare the effects of selected sociodemographic factors on the desired child-timing of two cohorts of reproductive-aged women in South Africa, 15–34 years (younger women) and 35–49 years (older women). The results showed that increased parity, contraceptive use and increased household size significantly predicted desired child-timing for both groups of women. The study also found that belonging to a ‘middle’ wealth index category, higher education and living in certain parts of the country significantly predicted child-timing desires for younger women but not older women. Implications for policy interventions were discussed.","PeriodicalId":302956,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 3rd International Conference on Modern Research in Social Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131191634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
