Neoconservadorismo, homeschooling e Conselho Tutelar
Authors: Moreira Helce Amanda , Gomes Ingrid de Faria
Published: December 2024

O novo conservadorismo avança na sociedade brasileira, seus/suas atores/atrizes e princípios alcançam o Congresso Nacional, propostas educacionais e órgãos como o Conselho Tutelar. Tendo em vista o papel do órgão na proteção de crianças e adolescentes, este artigo busca compreender de que forma o Conselho Tutelar tem sido instrumentalizado por defensores/as do homeschooling. Adotamos uma abordagem qualitativa, tendo como fonte empírica legislações, matérias jornalísticas e postagens no Instagram. Concluímos que defensores/as do homeschooling buscam ocupar espaços institucionais, como o Conselho Tutelar, para promover uma agenda alinhada a valores morais, cristãos e conservadores. Além disso, visam contrabalançar as influências progressistas nas políticas educacionais. Tal instrumentalização representa uma ameaça à educação democrática e à laicidade ao consolidar a centralidade da ‘família tradicional’ e buscar limitar a intervenção estatal na educação.

Published: December 2024

Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) in an inclusive classroom with visually impaired and able-bodied students presents unique challenges. In particular, appropriate teaching and assessment strategies are critical in ensuring equitable education. This mixed-methods study, conducted at CEG2 Abomey in the Zou Region of Benin, aimed to develop an effective pedagogical approach to address these challenges. The research involved 200 students (57 visually impaired and 143 sighted) and seven teachers. Quantitative data were gathered through questionnaires, while qualitative data were collected through focus group discussions and classroom observations. Using descriptive statistical analysis and inductive method, the study identified a pressing need for reliable and objective assessment methods and teaching strategies to support visually impaired and sighted students. Despite these findings, the study anticipates potential challenges in implementing such approaches. Recommendations and suggestions have been made to address these difficulties and enhance TEFL education in inclusive classrooms.
Mood and Modalities Revealing Teacher’s Power in EFL Classroom Discourse: Critical Discourse Analysis
Authors: Surjowati Ribut , Wirawati Bekti , Shalsadita Ratu Tria , Achmad Shafira Aulia
Published: December 2024

This research aims to describe how power relation is exercised through mood and modality used by lecturers during the teaching and learning process in the classrooms. It is categorized as descriptive qualitative research, and the data were collected from the utterances of the English Education lecturers through non-participant observation. They were then analyzed by following three stages of Fairclough CDA. The analysis was done from textual to social practice analysis to reveal the relation between the utterance and power the lecturers practiced in the classrooms. The research finding reveals that the power is reflected through the use of imperative, interrogative, and declarative mood structures. Modality is realized through modal auxiliaries: will, would, can, must, could, may, should, and verbs; have to, think, had better, need to, be sure, perhaps, and be going to. Those expressions carry the meaning of volition, obligation, encouragement, permission, demand, and possibilities employed by the lecturers in the classes. The above meanings of those expressions represent the lecturers’ power over the students. The built power relation represents Indonesian culture in which those in higher positions play as superiors. Examining modality and mood expressions used in education will hopefully give an insight into how to build good communication.
Message framing effects on exercise flow and interest in mobile fitness apps
Authors: Jang HanJin , Park Jeongmin , Choi Ji-Hye
Published: December 2024

This study explored the effects of message framing in mobile fitness applications on user experiences and exercise outcomes, focusing specifically on perceived benefits, exercise interest, flow, and attitudes toward exercise. It investigated how gain-framed and loss-framed messages influence users’ engagement and exercise-related attitudes. A total of 100 participants (50 male and 50 female) were randomly assigned to one of two groups, where they were exposed to either gain-framed or loss-framed messages during app-guided exercise sessions. Employing the playtest method, participants performed exercises guided by the app and subsequently completed self-administered questionnaires. The data were analyzed using ANCOVA to examine group differences. The findings demonstrated that gain-framed messages significantly enhanced perceived benefits, exercise interest, flow, and attitudes compared to loss-framed messages. These results underscore the effectiveness of gain-framed messages in fostering positive user experiences and encouraging favorable attitudes toward exercise. This study highlights the pivotal role of message framing in influencing user motivation and behavior within digital fitness contexts. Specifically, gain-framed messages, which emphasize benefits rather than risks, proved to be particularly effective in engaging users and promoting sustained exercise habits. These insights offer valuable implications for health communication strategies in fitness apps and other digital health tools. By tailoring messages to align with users’ needs and goals, app developers and health communicators can create more persuasive, user-centered experiences, ultimately contributing to long-term health and wellness outcomes.
homossexualidade e os conflitos familiares sob a interface da sétima arte
Authors: Silva Andreza Martins da
Published: December 2024

A família é a primeira instituição na qual um sujeito está inserido. Os afetos que surgem dessa relação são diversos e marcantes. No contato com uma família que seja refratária à experiência da homossexualidade, o sujeito vê-se envolto por discursos que o impactam em sua subjetividade. A proposta deste artigo é analisar como a homossexualidade foi tratada de maneira problemática e patológica por diversos campos do conhecimento, destacando como a perspectiva psicanalítica traz à luz outras concepções da sexualidade, a partir da teoria de pulsão sexual desenvolvida por Sigmund Freud. Tal teoria deslinda a pulsão sexual como distinta de instinto, e aponta para uma de suas características fundamentais, qual seja, a de que a pulsão sexual alcança sua satisfação por meio de objetos, e que estes são o que há de mais variável na pulsão. Baseada em dados secundários, o material foi escolhido através de pesquisa bibliográfica. Bem como a análise de alguns pontos do filme Eu Matei Minha Mãe, do diretor canadense Xavier Dolan, que serve como dispositivo para demonstrar como as produções artísticas captam e retratam esse mal-estar.

Grinling Gibbons as a Sculptor of Church Monuments–New Insights into His Work and Achievements
Authors: Easter Clive
Published: December 2024

Grinling Gibbons is rightly recognised as one of the most important woodcarvers in the history of the decorative arts. The style and sophistication of his work is unmatched not only in England but within Europe and even today few craftsmen can emulate his work. His contributions began at a time of renewed interest in ornate decoration and the vitality of his work at Windsor, Hampton Court and country houses like Petworth established his reputation. It was widely thought at the time that if a man could carve in wood, he could carve in marble and stone, and many contemporary craftsmen could do just that. However, Gibbons had difficulty in working marble and stone and his commemorative sculpture does little to enhance his reputation, despite there being evidence that he did very little himself. His known difficulties in carving the human form also failed to enhance his reputation as a monument maker and although many sculpted monuments are attributed to Gibbons his actual contribution to the production process was limited.
Oberwalliser Orts- und Flurnamenbuch (VSNB)
Authors: Werlen Iwar
Published: December 2024

Das Besondere an den Oberwalliser Orts- und Flurnamen ist ihr relativ spätes Auftreten. Während die deutsche Schweiz im Wesentlichen seit dem 5. Jahrhundert langsam alemannisiert wurde, war das Oberwallis noch eine gallo-romanische Sprachlandschaft, in der es kaum Spuren des Alemannischen gab. Die früheste alemannische Besiedlung scheint im 9. Jahrhundert geschehen zu sein. Das "Oberwalliser Orts- und Flurnamenbuch" erschließt den Bestand der alemannischen Oberwalliser Namen sprachhistorisch und sprachgeographisch. Es schließt somit eine Lücke zwischen dem schon vollendeten "Urner Namenbuch" und dem im Erscheinen begriffenen "Berner Namenbuch", die das Oberwallis zwar berührten, aber seinen Namenschatz weitgehend ungedeutet ließen.
Die verzeichneten Orts- und Flurnamen wurden in den Siebziger Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts erhoben. Sie stammen aus dem agrarischen, alpinistischen und touristischen Bereich, seltener handelt es sich auch um Namen von Straßen und Plätzen. Die Hauptlemmata der Orts- und Flurnamen werde in den Bänden ausführlich dargestellt, etymologisch kommentiert und geografisch verortet. Sie führen als Grundwörter, Bestimmungswörter, in ihrer flektierten und unflektierten Form und begleitet von Adjektiven zur Deutung der Orts- und Flurnamen. Ergänzt wird die Darstellung der Hauptlemmata durch eine Datenbank, die umfangreiche Informationen zu den Lemmata bietet (Belege, geographische Angaben, Kartenangaben etc.). Es entsteht auf diese Art und Weise ein umfassendes Bild der Orts- und Flurnamen des Oberwallis.

Authors: Albrecht Jan Christoph , Romero Müller Anna Lucia
Published: December 2024

Mit der stark gestiegenen Verbreitung des agilen Projektmanagements hat sukzessive auch die Bedeutung des hybriden Projektmanagements, also der Kombination verschiedener Projektmanagement-Vorgehensmodelle zugenommen. Teils sind theoretisch-konzeptionelle Arbeiten in dezidiert hybriden Modellen gemündet. Teils sind hybride Vorgehensweisen in Projekten jedoch auch das Ergebnis von Austarierungsprozessen bei der Einführung agilen Projektmanagements. Zur Ordnung hybrider Vorgehensmodelle existiert bislang recht wenig Fachliteratur. In diesem Beitrag wird eine Typologie hybrider Projektmanagement-Modelle vorgeschlagen. Dabei werden die Modelle eingeordnet in diverse Kombinationen aus klassisch, lean und agil sowie in parallele, sequenzielle, integrierte und emergente Gestaltungsformen.

Authors: Türktemiz Halil , Tüfekci Nezihe
Published: December 2024

Background/Aim: This study aims to reveal the mediating role of the psychological contract with regard to the effect of inertia on the organizational performance of healthcare workers in radiation.
Materials And Methods: The data were collected by using a survey. The questionnaire form consists of four parts. The first part included the “Inertia Scale” second, the “Psychological Contract Scale”, third part “Organization Performance Scale,”, fourth, questions regarding the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants were included. The target population was the 745 healthcare professionals working in the field of radiation from hospitals in the city of Konya, Turkey; thus, no sampling method was selected and an attempt was made to cover the entire population. A total of 419 healthcare professionals agreed to participate in the study. Process Macro Model 4 structural equation model were used in the analyses of data, descriptive statistics, validity and reliability, and correlation.
Results: Inertia has a negative effect on the psychological contract (β = - 0.455). The psychological contract has a positive effect on organizational performance (β = 0.823). In addition, inertia has a negative effect on organizational performance (β = - 0.311). This effect increases (β = - 0.143) with the addition of the mediating role of psychological contract.
Conclusion: The psychological contract loses its effect and reduces organizational performance due to inertia. Therefore, inertia is one of the issues that merit research to increase organizational performance.

Key Dissemination Learnings from an Innovative, Value-Based Emergency Department Prevention Program
Authors: Marshall Rohie
Published: December 2024

The Caboolture and Redcliffe regions of North Brisbane have experienced rapid population growth in recent years, with high levels of emergency department (ED) use, an ageing population, and a high proportion of complex health and psychosocial needs. An innovative intervention was co-designed to reduce unnecessary emergency department (ED) presentations by those with chronic complex conditions in the selected regions. Local general practices (GPs) were approached to participate in the program, now titled the ‘Care Collective,’ and provided with a funding package to build the capacity of the practice to employ an existing practice nurse or utilise a contracted nurse to upskill in a coordination role. The nurses, titled Complex Care Coordinators (CCCs), connect eligible clients with existing services in the community, aiming to improve patient quality of life, health literacy, and ability to self-manage their condition; in turn reducing unnecessary ED presentations and hospital admissions. The program has been funded by the Department of Health and Aged Care Primary Pilots Program.
Building the Nursing Workforce of The Future
Authors: Cook Karen , Lavender Samantha , Rice Frances
Published: December 2024

The supply, retention and distribution of a quality nursing workforce is critical to ensure Australians have access to health and aged care, when and where they need it. The nursing supply and demand study projects the supply and demand of Australia’s nurses until 2035 across all sectors and geographical levels. 
The results of the study predict an undersupply of nurses over the next 12 years, which indicates Australia may not have the number of nurses required to keep pace with the demand for nursing services in the community overall.

Improvement of the methodology for assessment of industrial enterprises for making objective decisions within the framework of industrial policy
Authors: Garbuzov Anatoly , Kirillova Oksana
Published: December 2024

The article examines the issues of application and improvement of the methodology for evaluating industrial enterprises as recipients of state support within the framework of the implementation of industrial policy. The authors considered approaches to the content of industrial policy, investigated the factors influencing its efficiency, identified aspects of its imperfections that arise when applying an incomplete list of important parameters of economic development and ambiguity in the interpretation of previously applied estimates. The article presents proposals to improve the methodology for assessing potential recipients of state support based on the development of a comprehensive indicator for assessing enterprises (recipients of support), taking into account not only the classical parameters of the economic efficiency of industrial enterprises applying for state financial assistance, but also such aspects as the development of budgetary funds, belonging to priority sectors of the economy, characteristics of sustainable development and export and innovation potential. Combining the results of a comprehensive assessment of the recipient of state support with a map of the business demography of the territory allows making a decision not only about the fact of support and its efficiency, but also to predict the assessment of the life cycle of the enterprise and its subsequent development.

Authors: Rajan Krishna Prasad , Thomas Selvin P. , Gopanna Aravinthan , Al-Ghamdi Ahmed , Chavali Murthy
Published: December 2024

Polymers obtained from renewable sources are gaining popularity over their petroleum based counter parts in recent years due to their capability to address the environmental pollution related concerns emanating from the widespread usage of synthetic polymers. Even though the polymers from renewable sources are attractive in an environmental point of view, some of the property limitations and the high cost of these materials pose limitations for their extensive commercial applications. These aspects opened the door for a large chunk of research activities in development of polyblends and composites containing polymers from renewable sources as one of the components. Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) is one of the most discussed and commercialized polymer originated from renewable resources. Even though it has many useful properties, certain disadvantages like high brittleness, low impact resistance etc. limit the wide spread commercialization of PLA. In this review article, the recent research activities which are aimed to fill this gap by various modifications of PLA are discussed with special emphasis on the latest research advancements in the field of biodegradable and non biodegradable systems containing PLA.

Equilibrated residual method for estimation of modelling and approximation errors in complex piezoelectric models
Authors: Zielińska Magdalena , Zboiński Grzegorz
Published: December 2024

The article presents the equilibrated residual method (ERM) of error estimation in coupled problems in the case of complex piezoelectric models. These models include hierarchical, first-order and transition models within the mechanical field of displacements, as well as hierarchical models within the electric field of potential. Three (classical, modified and enhanced) transition models are considered. The paper presents a variational formulation of the model problem of general piezoelectricity in the case of complex piezoelectric models and the finite element approximation of this problem. Next, the equilibration residual method for coupled problems of piezoelectricity and complex piezoelectric models is presented. The mechanical, electric and coupled parts of the modelling, approximation and total error estimators and true errors are given. Effectivity indices (the ratio of estimated error to true error) are used to assess the quality of error estimation in the case of three error parts and three types of error for the complex models of piezoelectric plates. The effectivity results for simple piezoelectric models and uncoupled problems of elasticity and dielectricity are applied as references.

Authors: Xu Liyou , Chen Shixun , Zhang Junjiang , Liu Mengnan , Wu Yiwei , Yan Xianghai
Published: December 2024

The distributed fuel cell tractor is a new type of power tractor. The transmission system and control strategy parameters affect the energy utilization efficiency of the entire machine. There is currently no research in this area. In order tosolve the problem of low energy utilization of the whole machine of distributed dual-motor-driven hydrogen fuel cell tractor, a cooperative optimization method based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for the parameters of the transmission system and energy-saving control strategy of distributed dual-motor-driven hydrogen fuel cell tractor is proposed. According to the tractor dynamics analysis and equivalent hydrogen consumption theory, a fuel cell tractor transmission parameter-equivalent hydrogen consumption model is established, The wheel-side transmission ratio and the upper and lower threshold values of the hydrogen fuel cell working power are taken as control variables, and the minimum equivalent hydrogen consumption is taken as the optimization goal, the optimization method is simulated and tested based on the MATLAB simulation platform. The results show that under plowing conditions, compared with the rule-based control strategy, the proposed collaborative optimization method of the fuel cell tractor transmission system and control strategy parameters can reasonably control the operating status of the fuel cell and the power battery, ensure that the fuel cell works in a high efficiencyrange, enhance the overall performance of the fuel cell system, and control the power battery state of charge (SOC) to remain in areasonable range. The tractor equivalenthydrogen consumption is reduced by 7.84%.
Therapy with clopidogrel or rivaroxaban has equivalent impacts on recurrence of thromboembolism and survival in cats following cardiogenic thromboembolism: the SUPERCAT study
Authors: Brainard Benjamin M. , Coleman Amanda E. , Kurosawa Anne , Rush John E. , Hogan Daniel F. , Brooks Marjory B. , Kraus Marc S.
Published: December 2024

OBJECTIVE

To assess the impact of clopidogrel or rivaroxaban administration on recurrence of arterial thromboembolism (ATE) in cats that have recovered from cardiogenic ATE.

METHODS

This multicenter prospective double-masked protocol enrolled 45 cats that had recovered from cardiogenic ATE and were randomized to receive either clopidogrel (18.75 mg/cat, PO; n = 19) or rivaroxaban (2.5 mg/cat, PO; 26) as sole anticoagulant therapy for up to 2 years after the initial ATE. Primary outcome measures included recurrent ATE or death from any cause. In addition to bimonthly internet-based surveys of animal quality of life, echocardiograms were performed by veterinary cardiologists at 2, 6, 12, and 18 months after initial ATE.

RESULTS

17 cats experienced ATE recurrence: 7 of 19 (37%) in the clopidogrel group and 10 of 26 (39%) in the rivaroxaban group. Three cats in each group survived for the entire 2-year study without recurrence. In the clopidogrel group, median (95% CI) time to ATE recurrence was 663 days (150 to not calculable) and in the rivaroxaban group, 513 days (242 to not calculable). Median time from enrollment to death from cardiac or noncardiac causes was also not different between treatment groups.

CONCLUSIONS

Single-agent antithrombotic therapy with rivaroxaban in cats recovered from cardiogenic embolism delayed recurrence of ATE for a similar time period as single-agent therapy with clopidogrel.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

In cats that have recovered from cardiogenic ATE, either rivaroxaban or clopidogrel may be used for single-agent thromboprophylaxis to delay ATE recurrence.

Thus, following the PRISMA guidelines, 71 articles published on Web od Science, during January 2014 – June 2024, are selected and analysed using cluster and density analysis. The results bring forward that the peak of the scientific production was reached in 2022 and that the topic is more appealing to the scholars from the information technology field than to the ones from the educational area. Furthermore, two lines of research can be identified; one that is technology-driven and another one that is learner/human-driven. Further research is required in providing a nexus between the two of them since, in the context of Industry 5.0 and Society 5.0, AI could act as a bridge. This research has several implications. On the one hand, it emphasizes the topics that captured scholars’ attention and also various research gaps that should be addressed. On the other hand, it extends the research from the educational management area by highlighting how AI could facilitate the transition towards the implementation of the connectivism learning theories.
Life and Death in the Mazahua Worldview in the Context of Covid-19
Authors: Ortiz Felipe González
Published: December 2024

In response to the confinement measures enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic, a series of narratives emerged in the Mazahua ethnic region of central Mexico that were deeply connected to the Mesoamerican worldview of this people. This research aims to analyse the reasons why such narratives gained greater prominence in this context and to examine how these narratives manifest in situations of heightened morbidity and mortality. Through ethnographic fieldwork, including testimonial and in-depth interviews conducted immediately after the pandemic, narratives about the experience of confinement in several Mazahua communities were produced and uncovered. These narratives reveal that the Mesoamerican beliefs of the Mazahua people are often collectively kept in the background during times of harmony but resurface with intensity during periods of morbidity and mortality. The study particularly found that Mazahua beliefs are not centred on an affirmative search for truth but rather on a thought process oriented toward existential being.
3D artistic mapping of the urban environment for tourism information support
Authors: German Anna
Published: December 2024

With the development of the tourism sphere, its information support is also developing, in particular, represented with cartographic works. One of the forms of cartographic support for tourism is three-dimensional artistic maps (3D-maps, panoramic maps) and cartographic web applications. By our understanding the panoramic map of the city is a cartographic image of the urban environment, made with regard to linear and aerial perspectives on the principle of artistic painting and created an illusory sense of volumetricity. Such maps illustrated the historical parts of cities, park zones, museums-estates, individual architectural monuments become popular souvenirs, but their handwritten creation is rather labor-intensive and requires high artistic skills.

The research proposes the author’s methodology and technology for creating and updating of three-dimensional artistic maps mainly of small and medium cities and towns using modern information technology, which involves a rational combination of works done manually (handwritten) and with the usage of graphic editors (automated). The preferred cartographic projections for mapping of different territories have been determined (external perspective projection with positive image, taking into account the curvature of the globe surface – for vast territories, central projection – for small territories, including individual monuments). The most optimal conditions for three-dimensional illusory representation of cities have also been established (the constant height of the observation point, the projection with parallel rays at an angle of 60° to the picture plane, the display only the front and middle parts of the map). Special attention is paid to the usage of automated libraries of signs, textures and colors, developed by the author in digital form and containing individual constructive elements of urban environment objects, which greatly simplifies the process of panoramic map creating.

The proposed combined handwritten-automated methodology involves several stages: preparatory, field and office. At the last stage, the visualization of objects is carried out, including the construction of the plan of the mapped territory, transforming it into the perspective projection, the construction of building frames and filling them with structural elements, color design and drawing detailing.

This methodology is also used for updating of artistic maps (actualization of their content).

Authors: Alixandrescu Robert-Marian , Baboş Alexandru
Published: December 2024

The current global security environment is unstable, marked by ambiguity and countless uncertainties, with trends indicating that the geopolitical context will become increasingly insecure and volatile. In such a challenging environment, military leaders play an important role in ensuring stability, guaranteeing territorial security and protecting citizens. More than ever, the role of the military leader in both the military organisation and society has reached an unprecedented level of complexity. To successfully meet the challenges of the modern battlespace, military leaders must train and develop a very diverse and complex set of competences and attributes. By doing so, the leader can rapidly gain the trust and commitment of subordinates, managing to motivate and lead them effectively in any context. This article aims to raise awareness and understanding of the critical role of positive personal example in modern military leadership.
The Impact of Leadership and Management Changes on the Military Organization
Authors: Bucăţa George , Andrei Constantin
Published: December 2024

Leadership in a military organization is a multi-faceted phenomenon that involves expanding vision, enhancing performance, and cultivating personality beyond conventional boundaries. Effective military leaders not only inspire and guide their people, but also articulate a clear and compelling vision of future tasks and goals. Military leaders perform key tasks such as setting and explaining strategic goals, assessing the feasibility of long-term operational plans, and ensuring the adequacy of organizational structures to achieve those goals.

The issue of leadership in the military organization is of paramount importance, as the stakes in military operations are high and the cohesion of well-motivated units capable of executing complex missions under pressure is critical. Effective leadership is essential for maintaining discipline, morale and operational effectiveness in the face of adversity. This article addresses the essential qualities and responsibilities of leadership in a military context, emphasizing the importance of vision in motivating and leading personnel. It examines how military leaders can effectively communicate their vision and values to create a guiding fire that inspires their units to greater success and performance. Through a comprehensive analysis of leadership behaviors and the impact of vision orientation, the article provides insights into the mechanisms by which military leaders can enhance performance and foster a culture of excellence and readiness.
The Evolution of Aerial Threats and Their Implications on Army Operations
Authors: Panait Cristian
Published: December 2024

The increasing evolution of aerial threats presents an ever-growing challenge for force protection. The accelerated development of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and long-range precision strikes highlights the urgency of developing comprehensive air defense doctrines. This paper explores the nature of these threats and their implications, particularly in the Ukrainian theater of operations, where emerging threats from UAS, artillery, and combined arms tactics are increasingly being used to overwhelm the maneuver of military forces and assets. By leveraging historical data, threat analyses, and military doctrines, this article aims to highlight how armed forces can be better prepared to counter these threats, focusing on leadership, training, and the integration of technologies such as short-range air defense for maneuver (M-SHORAD). The joint nature of military actions will need to manifest as swiftly as possible, not only at the strategic and operational levels but starting with small group, crew-aircraft combinations.
Goal Regulation: The Relationship Between Organizational Commitment and Work Motivation
Authors: Rusu Raluca
Published: December 2024

In this paper we will try to emphasize the importance of commitment, in an organizational world that tries to constantly adapt to the socio-economic environment in which it operates. More precisely, in this paper, based on theoretical analyses, we will present the importance of studying the relationships between organizational commitment and other organizational process, namely and work motivation. And we will also try to show by introducing the concept of goal regulation, that commitment influences organizational behavior independently of some extrinsic reasons or positive attitudes and that it can lead to the persistence of an action even in the face of conflicting reasons or attitudes. Starting from this conceptualization, we encourage the leads of empirical studies that support the hypothesis, that an integrated model of organizational commitment and motivation for work, better explains the involvement of individuals in an organizational context, beyond its theoretical validation.
