"Linked Together" is a choreographic piece inspired by at-risk youth and their ability to learn, grow, and transform their lives through dance. The idea for the piece originated from dance programs implemented with under-resourced populations in Virginia, Panama, and India. My teaching experiences in these places sparked the development of a longer, more comprehensive dance program in Arizona, with a Boys and Girls Club. The Arizona dance program included specific somatics exercises, focused on the integration of mind and body, as well as other types of improvisations, to help the participants learn about movement concepts and develop original movement.

The title "Linked Together" suggests that all people are connected in many ways, regardless of personal differences such as socioeconomic status or language. The dancers included myself, Arizona State University (ASU) dance students, as well as Boys and Girls Club dance program participants. For the concert, all dancers portrayed stories and concepts related to empowerment through emotionally charged movement, and thereby provided audience members with a visceral lens through which to see the transformative powers of dance. The data collected from this project through observations, surveys, and interviews suggest that constructive behaviors that are internalized through dance can flow seamlessly into the non-dance world, encouraging people to think creatively, collaborate with others, gain a sense of ownership, and feel empowered in all parts of life.

Description航天产业属于技术密集型行业,现阶段中国航天的发展需要巨额资金和科研人力资本。传统航天企业内员工相较商业航天企业缺乏创新精神,“搭便车”现象严重,缺乏以创新为内在增长动力的传统航天产业,其发展持续性终究得不到满足。相比而言,国内外的商业航天企业却展现出较强的创新能力。遗憾的是,虽然航天产业的高科技属性决定了科研人员的关键角色,但目前的研究几乎没有系统地研究过不同的体制对航天产业创新的影响机制,而有限的研究也集中在讨论宏观环境对行业创新的影响。本研究将弥补这方面研究的不足,分析传统航天模式与新兴商业航天模式下科研人员创新力差别的内在动因,力求给传统航天产业的发展提供有实际意义的参考和建议。

作者自2008年加入传统航天院所从事科研工作,2014年创立中国第一家商业卫星公司,在实践中充分利用面试知识型员工的机会,并深入访谈了不同职级的科研人员,覆盖了30家商业航天公司(截至2016年上市公司54家),包括来自中国传统航天的科研院所、直属航天企业及新兴商业航天公司300余人。通过多次沟通、邮件往来等方式进一步调查研究,发现不同所有制公司的员工在组织认同度方面存在较为明显的差异。为了系统科学地理解组织认同度在航天行业内如何影响不同体制下的科研人员的创新,本研究采用问卷调查的形式收集了1200份问卷,研究在传统航天及商业航天这两种不同所有制的航天企业中,组织认同度与科研人员创新能力的关系。从实证结果来看,航天产业员工组织认同度会显著影响员工的创新绩效,组织认同度越高的员工其创新能力往往更强,员工创新绩效越高。与此同时,通过进一步研究分析发现,航天产业公司所有权属性的差异在组织认同影响员工创新能力的过程中起着调节作用。具体而言,传统航天企业中的员工,其组织认同度对其员工创新能力影响更小,商业航天公司员工创新能力受到其组织认同度的影响相对较大。

研究结果从某种程度上反映了航天领域不同所有权属性企业所具有的不同的组织文化、组织价值观与组织结构会导致其员工个体组织认同度对其创新行为的影响产生差异。从组织文化的角度出发,商业航天企业其组织文化相对于传统航天企业而言更加自由,对员工创意、创新行为限制更少,这种自由的文化刺激并提高了员工的组织认同度,使得个体创新行为的效果更加显著。另外,从组织价值观的角度而言,商业航天企业员工相对于传统航天企业员工来讲更加看重创新行为的意义,其对员工创新行为的重视使其员工组织认同度对员工取得创新绩效产生了催化作用。最后,从组织结构的角度来看,商业航天企业其管理层相对而言往往更愿意接受企业中员工的创意与创新行为,给员工留下了相当大的创新空间,这种灵活的管理方式从某种程度上也会促进组织认同度对员工创新行为产生影响。
