This article seeks to analyze the mobility of Romanians within Spain, taking into account the current economic crisis that is affecting labor markets in Spain and Romania, and its impact upon people. Using the perceptions of Romanians, the paper examines their experiences and their understanding of their process of mobility and return as Europeans who have a right to free circulation but limited working rights in the enlarged European Union (EU). To carry out this research, the author used the qualitative method of in-depth interviews with 80 Romanian immigrants engaged in labor mobility between the two countries. The article highlights the role played by borders in studies of mobility and suggests that migrants may have varying perceptions concerning place and mobility. By looking at immigrants’ narratives the article seeks to produce a framework that reflects the transformation of immigrants into mobile citizens within the context of the EU.

This research aims to develop the concept and characteristics of social responsibility disclosure and items for the social responsibility disclosure of Islamic banks. This research was conducted based on the critical paradigm by using Habermas's Theory of Communication Action in understanding social reality. Habermas's Communication Theory of Action that is used extended with spirituality. This study also use Shari'ah Enterprise Theory to analyze and to produce the concept of social responsibility disclosure for Islamic banks. This research uses a qualitative approach in gathering and analyzing data. Analysis conducted on the annual reports of three Islamic banks in Indonesia, Bank Mega Syariah, Bank Syariah Mandiri and Bank Muamalat Indonesia. In addition the analysis was also conducted based on the results of interviews with stakeholders, including direct and indirect stakeholders. As a result of the analysis of the interests of stakeholders, the study found spiritual values. These values are sharing, rahmatan lil alamin and maslaha. These values are used as a guide in developing items of social responsibility disclosure. Further a concept of social responsibility disclosure is derived based on the Shari'ah Enterprise Theory. This research ultimately propose a form of social responsibility disclosure for Islamic banks that show efforts to meet the vertical accountability to God, and horizontal accountability to the people and the environment, considering the material and spiritual needs of stakeholders and disclose information both qualitatively and quantitatively.
本研究旨在发展伊斯兰银行社会责任披露的概念、特征以及社会责任披露的项目。本研究以批判范式为基础，运用哈贝马斯的交往行为理论来理解社会现实。哈贝马斯的交往行动理论被运用于精神性。本研究亦运用伊斯兰企业理论分析并提出伊斯兰银行社会责任披露的概念。本研究采用定性方法收集和分析数据。对印度尼西亚三家伊斯兰银行的年度报告进行了分析，分别是Bank Mega Syariah, Bank Syariah Mandiri和Bank Muamalat Indonesia。此外，还根据对利益相关者的访谈结果进行了分析，包括直接和间接利益相关者。通过对利益相关者的利益分析，本研究发现了精神价值。这些价值观是分享，拉赫马坦、阿拉明和马斯拉哈。这些价值观被用作制定社会责任披露项目的指南。进而在伊斯兰企业理论的基础上衍生出社会责任披露的概念。本研究最终提出一种伊斯兰银行社会责任披露形式，努力满足对真主的纵向责任，对人和环境的横向责任，考虑利益相关者的物质和精神需求，定性和定量地披露信息。

The aim of this chapter is to provide an outline of the development and basic ideas of critical theory (CT), one of the most prominent philosophical foundations of critical management studies (CMS). CT has perhaps had even more influence on the development of CMS than related theoretical foundations, such as labor process theory, post-structuralism, or critical realism, which will be described in subsequent chapters of the Handbook. CT has a unique philosophical tradition and distinct paradigmatic characteristics (Rasmussen 1994; Rush 2004); and, in order to demonstrate how CT has been used to study organizations, we will describe these characteristics and show how they have impacted CMS.Since a number of good historical overviews already exist (see, e.g., Held 1980; Wiggershaus 1994), we will consider the history and development of CT only in so far as it is of direct relevance to the understanding of the emergence of CMS. The chapter focuses mainly on the principal contributors of CT - here equated with the Frankfurt School and the writings of authors such as Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Herbert Marcuse, Jurgen Habermas, as well as authors of the younger generation. We will review a number of criticisms leveled at CT, from the aggressive to the more sympathetic types of critique, and show how these are relevant to CMS research. We also refer to Habermas's more recent work on political philosophy and deliberative democracy, as it is relevant for correcting dated understandings of his position and may suggest new directions for future work in CMS.

This paper addresses an apparent tension between a familiar claim about meaning in general, to the effect that the meaning of anything owes to its place, ultimately, within a form of life', and a claim, also familiar, about the meaning of human life itself, to the effect that this must be something beyond the human'. How can life itself be meaningful if meaning is a matter of a relationship to life? After elaborating and briefly defending these two claims, two ways of amending and thereby reconciling them are considered and rejected. These ways involve either spiriting away the issue of life`s meaning or encouraging unwelcome metaphysical views. The author then argues that, rather than remove the tension between the two claims, each should be viewed as expressing an aspect of a delicate metaphysical position. This position is distinguished from ones, like transcendental idealism and constructivism, with which it might be confused, and is then related to Daoist and Zen thought and to the later philosophy of Heidegger. Crucial to the position is the proposal that the beyond the human' which enables life to be meaningful is both ineffable and intimate' with life itself.

The focus of this work is the complex and dialectic relationship between personal, social, and institutional powers. This distinction is not new, it is even obvious or commonsensical. However, first, this multi-layered nature of power is not acknowledged in all the disciplines (for instance sociology typically rejects the idea of a connection between the personal powers and the social ones); second, in our view there is not a good analytic theory of the personal and interpersonal layers of power and of their – not so obvious – relationships with the power that we prefer to call “institutional” (where the “legal” one is just a sub-case based not simply on conventions, traditions, and social norms but on a system of laws). For example, the term “physical power” is a bit reductive, since in fact one not only needs strength, skills, and a working body, but the appropriate action plan and the relevant information, i.e. knowledge, and also the required mental abilities and conditions (motives, awareness, confidence, and so on).
