The objective was to determine the nature of psycho-social impacts faced by the people during the outbreak. Thus, we conducted this research in Mirpur city of Pakistan-administered Kashmir due to its second-highest prevalence rate of pandemic in Pakistan. The study was fashioned in positivistic tradition of quantitative research design. An online survey technique of Google survey form was adopted. Google survey form was disseminated among identified groups through social media tools due to the pandemics’ lockdown situation. Moreover, a sample of 856 respondents out of 1853 participated in the research. This research is informed by the stress-coping theory of Lazarus and Folkman. Findings revealed that psychosocial problems have strong association with loss of business, restrictions on religious practices, shutdown of markets, ban on social obligations, recreational activities, and physical movement. Similarly, logistic regression analysis also endorsed psychosocial impacts of pandemic on people. It is also unveiled that people were unable to cope with the psychological problems during the pandemic. Thus, our research substantiate the stress-coping theory of Lazarus and Folkman.","PeriodicalId":46079,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Sociology-Revue Internationale de Sociologie","volume":"74 1","pages":"470 - 486"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89120099","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}

In the context of active labour market policies (ALMP), PES are seen as strategic because they have a direct effect on reducing unemployment in both the short and long run and an indirect effect on reinforcing long-term training programmes. However, recent reforms of public employment services in many European countries have generated divergent trajectories in SLBs' practices. In this heterogeneous and unclear picture, to better grasp the different mechanisms influencing policy outcomes at a micro level it seems promising to merge street-level bureaucracy with the policy entrepreneur (PE) approach focused on the way caseworkers (conceived as policy entrepreneurs) influence policy design far beyond the resources they hold. In this article we consider if there are certain organizational configurations that favour the emergence of policy entrepreneurship among street-level bureaucrats. To test this hypothesis, the paper investigates an Italian public employment service. The Italian context is particularly interesting in that it underwent a process of decentralization followed by a more recent push towards re-centralization.","PeriodicalId":46079,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Sociology-Revue Internationale de Sociologie","volume":"51 1","pages":"487 - 506"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77168725","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}

Despite the importance of social institutions, scholars find it difficult to identify and assess their robustness empirically. Building on institutionalism theories, we develop a theoretical framework of institutional robustness, where robustness describes ideal, long-lasting, or otherwise strong institutions. This framework combines three dimensions drawn from the literature on institutional variation: degree of institutionalization, breadth of scope, and properties of quality. Using literature and theory, we propose definitions of robustness in each dimension and suggest that robust social institutions are robust in all dimensions. Moreover, we propose that robust meta-institutions are composed of individual robust institutions. For future application of the framework, we develop a methodological approach that follows a transparent procedure. We also include an example outlining how scholars can apply the framework in empirical work.

However, it remains to be addressed whether innovation actors have homogenously incorporated this narrative, or rather, attribute divergent meanings to previous innovative social action. Inspired by critical innovation studies and sensemaking research, this paper addresses whether specific contextual aspects translate into heterogeneous sensemaking processes, and shape actors’ expectations for the future. For this purpose, focusing on the Information and Communication Technology sector and having the organizational unit as the level of analysis, it addresses top managers’ discourses through their perceptions on past innovation. Cluster analysis identified two profiles, mostly discriminated by actors’ perceptions of their firms’ role in previous innovation. These profiles were associated with innovation performance with firms with more outputs presenting themselves as the ‘builders of their success’, while the ones with less successful trajectories expressing their powerlessness. Logistic regression analysis revealed that such discourses mediate the impact of firms’ empowerment culture and assets on confidence in the future. This study adds to previous literature a first comparative analysis of heterogeneous sensemaking discourses through which actors contextualize previous innovative social action and co-construct futures’ expectations.","PeriodicalId":46079,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Sociology-Revue Internationale de Sociologie","volume":"30 1","pages":"432 - 452"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90274202","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}
