title: Climate Strength: Its Role as a Moderator in the Relationship Between Climate and Turnover

description: Abstract The effects of climate quality, defined as the shared perceptions of the work environment, on organizational outcomes is already well known and studied in the literature. However, in recent years, climate literature has paid increasing attention to a new construct: climate strength, which refers to the degree of agreement among employees about climate within a work unit or organization. To further investigate the role climate plays in organizational outcomes, the current study examines the effects of climate strength on turnover at the organizational level. For that, we used a sample composed of 25,288 individuals from 150 medium and large-sized organizations from different industries and tested the direct and moderating effect climate strength has on five climate dimensions at the level of collective turnover. The results obtained showed that, after controlling for organizational climate quality, climate strength moderates the relationship between climate quality and collective turnover in three out of five climate facets. When climate strength is high, the influence of organizational climate on turnover is strengthened, but when climate strength is low, this influence weakens. However, there was no direct effect found between climate strength and collective turnover.

title: Where are We Heading? An Analysis of the Corporate Governance Literature

description: Abstract Corporate Governance has become one of the most discussed issues in the business world and has had a broad academic and practical impact. By analyzing the literature related to this area, we seek to examine the development of this subject and potential opportunities for research. Based on 31 theoretical and 59 empirical articles, we have been able to identify research opportunities through an interpretative and critical approach designed to guide studies within a variety of contexts and with various characteristics. We have noted a predominance in the use of Agency Theory, but a limited analysis of conflicts among shareholders and between creditors and management. The research opportunities that we have identified focus on the integrated analysis of Agency Theory, Stakeholder Theory, Stewardship Theory and Resource Dependence Theory. It has also been possible to demonstrate through the literature that the analysis of internal and external mechanisms in a complementary manner can make greater contributions to these investigations. This study contributes to the understanding of this area by providing a systematic presentation of the main characteristics of CG researchers, concepts and theoretical aspects, and it also identifies potential areas for future research related to the approach, theory and mechanisms of Corporate Governance.

title: Efficiency Losses in Healthcare Organizations Caused by Lack of Interpersonal Relationships

description: Abstract Despite all quality management and integration literature prescriptions to implement strategies for a better organizational performance, healthcare organizations support a model that is inefficient, expensive, and unsustainable over time. This work aims to examine the interpersonal relationships in three large hospitals located in Southern Brazil and its relation with organizational efficiency. Through a qualitative and explanatory research, semi-structured interviews were applied to 32 professionals, in addition to a document analysis. The data analysis shows that integration occurs at the formal leadership level only in one of the organizations and does not involve the medical and operational professionals. Quality management seems not to be fully incorporated into care routines, and are related to efficiency losses. This scenario is probably related to the lack of integration among the professionals and the consolidation of trust, leadership, and communication.

title: Innovation and the Diffusion of Technology in Agriculture in Floodplains in the State of Amazonas

description: Abstract There is a vast literature on innovation and diffusion of technology in Agribusiness. The dominant explanation of dissemination of innovations emphasizes processes involving information flows through a social system. Research questions on innovation and diffusion of technology transcend conventional disciplinary boundaries. This article’s objective is to investigate innovation and diffusion of technology in the context of agriculture in floodplains in provincial Amazonas, Brazil. A set of propositions were defined, focusing on factors that impact on the conceptualization of the process of innovation and diffusion. A qualitative research approach was employed, based on semi-structured interviews. In this study, the analytical stages of the mental process of diffusion do not determine adoption of innovation. The results suggest that the supply-side competitive environment, in conjunction with the influence of agribusiness, technical support, a development-oriented political agenda, university projects, and practices in the field can facilitate diffusion of technologies. This paper seeks to extend the current paradigm of understanding of innovations and diffusion, incorporating factors that apply in a specific agricultural context, suggesting elements that, if stimulated, can be communicated and assimilated within a social system.

title: Academic Motivation Scale: Validity in Portuguese Public Higher Education

description: Abstract This research aimed to study the psychometric properties and subsequent validation of the Academic Motivation Scale proposed by Guimarães and Bzuneck (2008), in Portugal using two samples, the sample A constituted by 568 students of public higher education and the sample B constituted by 589 public higher education students, with a national scope. SPSS 25 and AMOS 25 software were used for data processing. Two confirmatory factor analyzes were conducted in each sample and a multiple group analysis, and the results pointed to the validity of the re-specified scale of the motivation evaluation in higher education, especially high correlations between the dimensions Extrinsic Motivation by Integrated Regime and Intrinsic Motivation, Extrinsic Motivation by Integrated Regulation and Extrinsic Motivation by Introjected Regulation and by Extrinsic Motivation by External Regulation and Demotivation. It was verified that the proposed scale model is invariant.

title: The Organisational Ties in the Perception of the Management: Commitment, Entrenchment and Consent

description: ABSTRACT Objective this study aimed to analyse the perception of the ties of commitment, entrenchment and consent of the worker with the organisation, exploring their distinctive factors and their meaning for the management. Method a qualitative research was carried out with the management of companies of the retailing sector located in shopping malls. The data was gathered through ten semi-structured interviews and analysed using the content analysis technique. Results this empirical work indicates that the managers’ perceptions not only confirm the conceptual limitation of the commitment models to their affective basis, they also reveal the prominence of other organisational ties like entrenchment and consent. The data reinforce that these ties show different notions, which also operate in different attitudes of the individual at work. Conclusion these findings allow to understand the possible contextual influences on managing the different organisational ties, as well as their outcomes and impact on the performance of the individual at work.

title: Analysis of Prescribing Variables of Entrepreneurial Intention of Brazilian Immigrants in Portugal

description: ABSTRACT Context: a new migratory flow of Brazilian immigrants in Portugal is made up of individuals with greater financial and entrepreneurial capacity, a high level of professional qualification or individuals who seek higher qualification (masters and doctoral students and researchers). Objective: the study seeks to identify possible variables that prescribe the entrepreneurial intention of Brazilian immigrants in Portugal, showing characteristics of this group. Methods: survey questionnaires were applied to 667 Brazilian respondents, inhabitants of Portugal. It was used logit equations to analyze the data, in order to assess the relationship between entrepreneurial intention and the variables gender, age at arrival, educational level, length of stay in the country, status of student-tourist-work visa - citizenship application status - permanent migration. Results: the article contributes in a theoretical way by highlighting variables related to the intention to undertake in one of the largest communities of Brazilian immigrants in Portugal. Conclusion: the findings point to the following variables that had a positive influence on the intention to undertake: age at arrival, time in the country, work visa, education level, tourist visa and claim citizenship. In terms of practical implications, the study may support funding mechanisms.

title: Concentration and Competition in the Domestic Credit Market

description: ABSTRACT Context: the financial market has experienced sharp restructuring and mergers in recent decades. As banks expand the scope of their activities, they raise concerns about the impact on the sector's competitiveness. If the characteristics of the financial industry, which contribute to make the sector more concentrated, can make it less competitive, it implies assessing the relationship between concentration and competition. Objective: the general objective of this study is to promote diagnosis of the organization of the national credit market by calculating and analyzing concentration and competition indicators, between 2000 and 2019. Methods: to measure concentration, the Herfindahl-Hirschman and the Five Major Concentration Ratio indexes are used. The degree of competition is estimated via Lerner's econometric model applied to data displayed on a panel with accounting and financial information from financial institutions. Results: the results suggest that although the concentration has increased in the time frame considered, competitiveness has not deteriorated, reinforcing the argument of seminal references that concentration does not necessarily harm competition. Conclusion: in the absence of academic consensus, this work elucidates the relationship between concentration and competitiveness. Still, it gains relevance by pointing out the role of regulation and credit unions in increasing recent competition. The work thus becomes capable of supporting policies that promote contestability, such as initiatives that relax restrictions on the entry of non-banking institutions and financial technology companies.

title: Good Management Practices and Absorptive Capacity: Impacts on Firms’ Productivity

description: ABSTRACT Context: there are few studies that aim to calculate productivity at the microeconomic level and one of the variables that contributes to this is the ability of firms to absorb external knowledge - absorptive capacity. However, another variable is also gaining explanatory power in this direction - that of good management practices. It turns out that studies that deal with these two variables together and that relate them to productivity are not easily found. Objective: the objective of this research is to understand how the interaction between good management practices and the absorptive capacity of firms and the impact on productivity takes place. Method: the multi-case method was used, having been applied in transnational and national industries. Results: the results show that the existence of good management practices acts as an influencer of absorptive capacity, and that this relationship has a positive impact on the productivity of firms. Furthermore, it was revealed that management processes in transnational companies contribute more effectively to absorptive capacity and productivity than in national companies. Conclusions: as a contribution, an analysis model is presented that demonstrates the relationships between the variables studied, showing the importance of good management practices as a determinant for the development of absorptive capacity and the improvement of firms' productivity conditions.
