title: What Color Should I Go as to the Shopping Mall that You Invited Me to?

description: AbstractThis article analyzes how discourses on user profiles of shopping malls in the city of Belo Horizonte evidence two aspects of Brazilian socio-historical context: race relations and spatial segregation in organizational contexts. We discuss race relations in Brazil considering color as a discursive construction and shopping malls as organizations that can be configured as spaces of spatial segregation that constitute symbolically private spaces for certain social groups. We used French-style discourse analysis as a methodological strategy. The body of analysis was constituted by discourses present in the Facebook social network and refers to an image that was published by a news outlet about the city of Belo Horizonte that profiled the city's shopping mall clientele in a series of six photos. The research results evidence the discursive construction of color as a dimension of meaning of social practices and representations of individuals that symbolically demarcate who can circulate, and where, in determined organizational spaces, especially in shopping malls.

title: Religious Entrepreneurship: A Study of Businesses that Explore the Religiosity Niche

description: The purpose of this paper consisted of comprehending the particularities of religious entrepreneurship concerning businesses that emerge in a religious context and sell religious products. Based on a theoretical framework that articulates both entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial process definitions, and that establishes relationships between entrepreneurship and religion, 22 businesses that sell products from various religious denominations located in the three largest cities of the Triângulo Mineiro region were studied through qualitative research. The results show the manifestation of a particular type of entrepreneurship, associated with the following categories: the religious entrepreneur, involving the analysis of ideas and individual motivations for business creation; religion as business opportunity, involving the analysis of contextual, religious and business aspects that influence religious entrepreneurship; and the results of those entrepreneurial actions, involving concrete and symbolic effects of religious entrepreneurship.

title: Different Individual-Organization Attachments: Exploring Their Meanings between Managers

description: AbstractThis work investigated Organizational Commitment based on the three component model - affective, normative and continuance - introduced by Meyer and Allen (1991) and two constructs - Organizational Entrenchment and Consent. The objective was analysis of the meaning attributed by managers to three links, exploring their distinct elements. The research was carried out through the use of qualitative analysis of interviews with 20 managers. The interview script investigated personal data and the concepts attributed to each link. Data was submitted to content analysis. Results highlighted that managers have very different conceptual structures for the three constructs. Commitment was considered a positive tie, indicating engagement and motivation. In a different way, entrenchment was related to fear of changing organizations, in that changing jobs risks existing stability. Entrenchment turned out to be an instrumental tie that imprisons the subject and leads to development of a relationship of dependency and accommodation. Consent fit better into the idea of submission to power and authority relationships, and being unsatisfied with work and the organization. In conclusion, the three links are different in conceptual terms and indicate distinctive influence on relationships between individuals and organizations.

title: Analysis of Brazilian Academic Publication about Communities of Practice

description: AbstractThe objective of this study was to analyze the evolution of Brazilian academic publication regarding the term communities of practice, to identify their growth over time, as well as transformations of the concept and conceptual forms used. To this end, we begin with the emergence of the concept of communities of practice through a general review of the classical texts that address the issue. Next, we detail our methodological approaches, which included bibliometric techniques and contextual analysis. The results show that the classic texts discussed in the theoretical part of this article are commonly referenced (bibliometrics) in Brazilian academic production. Despite this, it is evident that, in terms of dissemination, extension, restriction or limitation of the use of the communities of practice concept, there are conceptual modifications linking this concept more with researchers' purposes and their research than, necessarily, the compatibility of this concept to what is established in the literature on the theme.

title: Exploring Indigenous Management Aspects in a Financial Organization: Jeitinho and Relational Society

description: AbstractThere is an increasing interest from researchers to understand concepts which are meaningful for our own society, and not imported from other cultures, called indigenous management approaches. Following this line of research, this article carried out a socio-anthropological literature analysis in the field of organizational studies on Brazilian culture which resulted in a synthesis of five distinctive traits of our society: Hierarchy, Ambiguity, Trickery (Malandragem), Jeitinho and Relational Society. The article focused on Jeitinho and Relational Society and aimed to identify and analyze the incidence of both traits, in the management of a financial organization. A questionnaire, using a Likert scale, was developed and applied to a sample of 303 employees from such an organization. Jeitinho can be described through a three-dimensional structure: circumvent rules, flexibility and an informal problem-solving strategy. The Relational Society, also a multidimensional construct, was composed of personal relationships, familiar-affective relations, trust-dominance over impersonal relations and personal relationship dominance over professional ones. Regardless of the socio-demographic variables,Jeitinho was identified as a common social practice and Relational Society was seen as an environment that favors the use ofJeitinho.

title: Intra-organizational Social Connection, Support at Work and Organizational Identification

description: AbstractThe aim of this study was to examine the extent to which relational resources, (a) support at work (in organizational, supervisor, and coworker dimensions) and (b) intra-organizational social connection, are associated with organizational identification. A survey with 209 participants showed that supervisor support was not significantly related to organizational identification, but organizational support, coworker support and intra-organizational social connection were. However, the influence of coworker support on identification was found to be negative. Thus, it was possible to conclude that, depending on the valence of their effects, different relational resources can be complementary or competitive in explaining variation in the degree of organizational identification. Therefore, organizations should be understood as constellations of social ties characterized by different contents, sometimes synergistic and others competing regarding construction of the uniqueness an employee has with an organization.

title: Absorptive Capacity, Organization Learning and Social Integration Mechanisms

description: Abstract The purpose of this paper is to seek to understand how the recursive process related to organizational capacity for absorption and learning occurs through social integration mechanisms, as exemplified in the implementation of the Paraná Digital Program in two public education institutions in Curitiba, Paraná, during the period from 2007 to 2013. The methodology used was qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive, accomplished by means of a comparative case strategy with a temporal cross-sectional perspective. Data collection was accomplished through interviews, document analysis and participant observation. Content analysis was used to comprehend the data obtained. Results show that a completed absorption capacity process leads to full organizational learning, and that faults in one process impact the other, demonstrating a recursive relationship mediated by social integration mechanisms.

title: Consumption Trajectories: Elderly Consumers of Bank Services

description: Abstract The growth of the population over 60 years old and increasing life expectancy have increased elderly individuals participation in the consumer market. This phenomenon has been especially evident in the Brazilian bank services market, since retirees need to have a bank account in order to receive their retirement income. However, how these consumers exercise agency in their bank services consumption practices varies, involving both a position as consumer and a construction as elderly subjects. This research aims to analyze the construction of the subject-consumer of banking services by the elderly. An empirical study was conducted through interviews with ten consumers in Progresso - RS - Brazil. Results show that perception of agency power in banking services consumption by the elderly is a phenomenon influenced by individual life trajectory and the ability to deal with the subjectivation process. Consumers' need to deal with others (both people and technology) emerges as an inhibitor to the desire to self-construct as a subject-consumer of banking services. Finally, we theorize that consumer agency perception is built in accordance with individual life trajectories as consumers and social subjects.

title: The Influence of Power in the Relationship between Consumers and Brand

description: Abstract Belonging to the area of research concerning the relationship between consumers and brands, the objective of this study is to investigate the influence of brand power on consumers’ sense of power and the roles of dependency and trust as mediating and moderating variables, respectively, in this relationship. The first hypothesis states that in the presence of brands with high power, consumers will have the perception of low personal power. For a better understanding of this phenomenon, dependence emerges as a mediating variable. The amount of power refers to the degree of dependence between the parties; i.e., brands with high power generate greater dependence and therefore reduce the sense of personal power by the consumer, which increases the asymmetry of power, this statement is the second hypothesis of the study. Finally, research found that trust is an important variable in reducing asymmetry of power. This finding shows that high levels of confidence in the negative effect of brand power, mediated by dependence on personal power, is less intense compared to a low-trust condition. Three experiments were performed that confirm the proposed hypotheses. This research brings a significant advance in understanding the relationship between consumers and brands, and proposes a new model based on the power approach.

title: A Comparative Analysis of Why Papers Are Rejected in Management Journals of Different Strata

description: Abstract The publication of scientific articles is one of the requirements imposed on Brazilian researchers and contributes decisively to their reputation, mobility and financial benefits. To assess the quality of publications, Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) created the Qualis system, that classifies journals into eight levels - A1 (highest) to C (lowest) - inferring the quality of the articles from the strata of the journals in which they are published. This article examines the flaws and gaps that represent factors for rejecting articles submitted to management journals, comparing the motives for rejection between journals from different strata. Methodologically, we conducted an empirical study with data obtained by questionnaire from 82 editors of Brazilian management journals. Contrary to expectations, the results do not point to clear differences in the factors that lead to rejection between journals from different strata. This article has contributions and implications for researchers, publishers and regulators. In particular, the thoughtful reader can identify the most frequent problems and gaps and be more prepared to produce better articles for future submissions.
