This article argues that ethical authorship is essential for the ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI). It examines tensions that historical understandings of authorship have created as instructors and students alike navigate AI technologies. Given these tensions, this article proposes a definition of “ethical authorship” and uses de Colle and Werhane’s moral motivation framework to outline how instructors can use ethical authorship and moral motivation to encourage students’ ethical AI use.
本文认为，合乎伦理的作者身份对于合乎伦理地使用人工智能（AI）至关重要。文章探讨了历史上对作者身份的理解在教师和学生使用人工智能技术时产生的紧张关系。鉴于这些紧张关系，本文提出了 "合乎道德的作者身份 "的定义，并使用 de Colle 和 Werhane 的道德动机框架来概述教师如何利用合乎道德的作者身份和道德动机来鼓励学生合乎道德地使用人工智能。

The pitch is a central part of accelerator programs commonly presented with a slide presentation, called pitch deck. This study seeks to understand the ways in which pitch decks are structured. A slide-based approach was taken to describe the structure of 96 pitch decks created at the Start-up Chile accelerator program. Results showed that 7 topics were used in more than half of the pitch decks analyzed (company, team, product, problem, achievements, business model, market) and that certain topics formed sequences that were commonly used across the slide presentations.

Generative AI could disrupt professional writing instruction, but banning AI tools seems unproductive. This article outlines a rhetorical approach for adapting business writing instruction for the AI age: It suggests AI use cases that align with the rhetorical canons, illustrates each with real-world business examples, and ends with suggestions for using AI to build students’ critical genre awareness. This approach should prove useful for business writing instructors who want to ground their AI-related instruction in enduring pedagogical theory.

Business and professional communication courses hold special opportunities to contribute to students’ development of entrepreneurial mindsets through the use and extension of classical rhetorical theory and praxis. We situate pedagogical activities within the context of the entrepreneurial venture pitch by using Rhetorical Canons of invention, arrangement, style, memory, and delivery to develop oral discourse while recognizing and developing entrepreneurial mindsets. We utilize elements of entrepreneurial mindset development presented by Kuratko et al. and Daspit et al. to introduce business and professional communication instructors to cognitive, behavioral, and emotional aspects contributing to the establishment of entrepreneurial mindsets.

As social media use proliferates, so does hateful language on such platforms among users. How might product teams be empowered to tackle hateful speech and promote inclusive language proactively among users? We developed an intervention that targets the organizational culture of tech companies and their product teams as a driver for change. More specifically, the intervention aimed to advance inclusive language practices within product teams, while introducing product development frameworks for advancing inclusive language and mitigating hateful language among social media product users. For this study, we partnered with a large U.S.-headquartered tech firm that owns several social media products to develop and pilot the intervention. The intervention was implemented with 238 participants—representing employees of the firm across several global locations, with particular representation from the United States—in seven workshops. Forty participants were tracked semilongitudinally across three surveys—prior to the intervention, immediately after, and 4 months after. Two participants participated in in-depth interviews 6 months after the intervention. Survey data were submitted to ordinal regression models that examined difference in workshop attendees’ confidence levels across the three time periods. Findings reveal positive impacts over time among product teams in regard to enhanced agency in advancing inclusive language and mitigating hateful speech among users. More specifically, confidence levels to guide one’s team in preventing or mitigating harmful language among product users significantly increased by 13.6% ( p < .0001) from before the intervention to both postworkshop surveys. Confidence levels to guide one’s team in enhancing inclusive language among users significantly increased by 18.1% ( p < .0001) pre- to postworkshop. Positive correlations are present between the measures. Lastly, qualitative responses in the surveys and interviews express appreciation of learning gained in the workshops, but also the need to continue such interventions as an effort to maintain critical understandings of inclusive language practices.
随着社交媒体使用的激增，用户在这些平台上的仇恨语言也在激增。如何让产品团队有能力应对仇恨言论，并在用户中积极推广包容性语言？我们针对科技公司及其产品团队的组织文化制定了一项干预措施，以推动变革。更具体地说，该干预措施旨在促进产品团队内部的包容性语言实践，同时引入产品开发框架，在社交媒体产品用户中推广包容性语言并减少仇恨性语言。在这项研究中，我们与一家总部位于美国、拥有多个社交媒体产品的大型科技公司合作，开发并试行了干预措施。238 名参与者代表了该公司在全球多个地区的员工，特别是来自美国的员工，他们在七个研讨会上参与了干预措施的实施。对 40 名参与者进行了半纵向跟踪，包括干预前、干预后和干预后 4 个月的三次调查。两名参与者在干预 6 个月后参加了深度访谈。调查数据被提交到序数回归模型中，该模型考察了讲习班参加者在三个时间段内信心水平的差异。研究结果表明，随着时间的推移，产品团队在促进包容性语言和减少用户中的仇恨言论方面产生了积极影响。更具体地说，从干预前到工作坊后的两次调查，指导自己的团队防止或减少产品用户中有害语言的信心水平显著提高了 13.6% ( p < .0001)。从干预前到工作坊结束后的两次调查中，对指导自己的团队在用户中加强包容性语言的信心水平大幅提高了 18.1% ( p < .0001) 。这些指标之间存在正相关关系。最后，调查和访谈中的定性回答对在研讨会上所学到的知识表示赞赏，同时也表示有必要继续开展此类干预活动，以保持对全纳语言实践的重要理解。

The present study attempts to understand and establish the interplay between workplace romance and workplace gossip through the lens o McClelland’s theory of need in the context of the Indian hospitality industry. The data were collected from 216 hotel employees using a time-lagged design. PLS-SEM was used to test the hypothesized associations. The results indicated a positive association between workplace romance and workplace gossip. The study discusses several motives for people to engage in romance, resulting in increased gossip. Workplace romance emerged as a significant mediator between the antecedents (love, loneliness, career growth, organizational politics) and the consequence (workplace gossip). There is a dearth of studies empirically studying the linkages and antecedents of workplace gossip and workplace romance, especially in the context of the Indian hospitality sector. The present study attempts to address this gap by understanding the hypothesized associations.
