title: Humanitarian identifications: heterogeneous responses to institutional complexity at Médecins Sans Frontières

description: Abstract Studies of institutional complexity have explored how multiple logics influence organizational practices. This article illustrates how a single logic is maintained through its heterogeneous enactments and practices, via strong identification, in this case, with the logic of humanitarianism. Using the case of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), we develop a theory around identity work and the heterogeneous enactment of institutional logic. We illustrate, via three historical examples, how MSF engaged in radically different practices across time and space, while adhering to a continuous yet polymorphous humanitarian logic. We explain this apparent paradox by referring to the internal contradictions within humanitarian logics, contradictions that do not lead to chaos because of the persistent cohesion effects of identity. We discuss implications for understanding organizational identity and institutional diversity.

title: Me, my place, and I: exploring consumer-place attachment in Brazil’s Northeast region

description: Abstract Consumers, whether more or less consciously, attach their identity to places in order to give meaning to their lives. In this research, we discuss the process by which consumers attach their identity to commercial settings, based on the extended self and place attachment theories. Through observations, in-depth interviews, and discourse analysis, this study explores the bonds people make with a place, taking a Brazilian heritage market as a research context. The findings suggest that the link between consumers’ identities and commercial settings occurs in different forms, based not only on their self-narratives but also on the physical space.

title: Study of citizen engagement in the participation of elective mandate actions in the Brazilian Legislature: analysis of the use of political techs

description: Abstract The innovation process of information and communication technologies have led to an increasing engagement of the population in political activities. Political techs emerge as an innovation to facilitate access to information and analysis of candidates during elections. They are used to monitor government actions and agendas, encouraging participation and civic engagement. This research analyzes citizen engagement through political techs adopted in elective mandates in the Brazilian Legislature after the general elections of 2018. The quantitative approach used a multivariate method of structural equation modeling with the application of a face-to-face survey with a sample of 467 university students. As a result, from the political techs, a model is proposed that allows the analysis by the citizens to inspect and participate in the decisions about the resources invested in the public policies and actions, being possible, thus, to foment the citizen’s engagement.

title: Post-pandemic consumption: portal to a new world?

description: Abstract Expert forecasts by consumer researchers and epidemiologists, consumer forecasts, and evidence from China are used to assess how consumer behavior will change after the pandemic subsides. Then hopes for bigger ideas are assessed including really addressing climate change, moving away from fossil fuels, addressing income inequality with a guaranteed income, and decoupling the economy from growth.

title: Influence of management control systems and creativity on job performance

description: Abstract This study analyzes the influence of managerial control systems (MCS) on job performance, mediated by individual creativity. Simons’s (1995) four levers of control were considered: belief systems, boundary systems, interactive control systems, and diagnostic control systems. A survey was conducted with industrial companies considered to be innovative in Brazil, obtaining 126 valid responses. The results of the structural equation modeling indicated a significantly different relationship between MCS and individual creativity. Some positively influence belief systems and interactive control systems, while others negatively influence diagnostic control systems. It was also found that belief systems positively influence job performance, partly mediated by individual creativity. These results denote the importance of MCS to stimulate managers’ individual creativity, to assist in tasks carried out in the organization and, to increase job performance. The study concludes that belief systems, interactive control systems, and diagnostic control systems influence individual creativity, just as creativity influences job performance. In addition, the non-significance of the relationship between boundary systems and individual creativity deserves further research.

title: The (un)speaking self: an identity-based model for employee voice and silence

description: Abstract The literature on employee voice and silence has typically explored these behaviors as being motivated by calculative-instrumental purposes (what will I gain/lose if I volunteer information?). I argue that voice and silence are social-functional behaviors that are embedded within everyday interactions at work, and I draw on social identity theory to propose an identity-based model of employee voice and silence (how does speaking up affect my definition of who I am?). The presented model explains how individuals can volunteer information or remain silent by preserving or restructuring their sense of self in the face of identity threats. I also explore the conditions for each identity-based speaking behavior and offer contributions to both the Organizational Behavior and Industrial Relations literature on employee voice and silence.

title: Female leadership: perceptions, reflections, and challenges in public administration

description: Abstract Discrimination against women in strategic positions is a recurring issue in the labor market, particularly in Brazil. Even though women generally have higher qualifications than men, this is not reflected in their salaries or positions. The causes of such limitations have historical, social, and psychological roots. This article aims to understand better the challenges faced by women in the public administration of the Brazilian executive branch. The study is based on the barriers to reaching leadership positions, such as “Glass Ceiling,” “Leadership Labyrinths,” and “Queen Bee,” commonly described in the international and national literature on the theme. The study is organized in two stages. In the first, a qualitative approach was adopted, involving semi-structured and in-depth interviews with leaders - Under Secretaries - working in the government of the State of Rio de Janeiro. The second stage adopted a quantitative approach, with a questionnaire applied to female managers working at the State Secretariat of Finance and Planning of Rio de Janeiro. As a result, it appears that women still suffer from prejudices and barriers associated with male codes of professional advancement. However, most women indicate no direct prejudice, claiming that they have grown and reached strategic positions on their own merits.

title: Aligning academic research and Science, Technology, and Innovation (ST&I): a proposal using Design Science

description: Abstract Universities have been criticized for the lack of integration of academic research with societies’ demands. This theoretical essay reflects on the use of the Design Science approach to align academic research with activities of science, technology, and innovation (ST&I) addressing societal needs. The study presents a theoretical background on new forms of evaluation of academic research and on the foundations of Design Science in relation to other research approaches, highlighting its ontological, epistemological, methodological, and axiological assumptions. Finally, we present a conceptual model of Design Science and its potential utility for new forms of scientific and technological production, considering the cycles of relevance, design, and rigor. We also highlight the importance of the Design Science Research (DSR) in conducting result-oriented studies. Such a perspective can foster new reflections and debates in the academic field about alternative ways to develop and evaluate scientific and technological research.

title: Between the sacred and the profane: identities, paradoxes, and ambivalences of evangelical prostitutes from a red-light district of Belo Horizonte

description: Abstract This study aimed to analyze the construction of the identities of evangelical prostitutes who work in a red-light district (zona do baixo meretrício) of the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. It is an exploratory and qualitative study, using in-depth interviews with 17 evangelical prostitutes, analyzed through the theoretical-methodological proposal of the linguistic discourse analysis. Among the main results, we highlight a deep sense of guilt and, in some cases, pain and suffering of evangelical prostitutes, given the paradoxicality of commune personal values and beliefs intrinsically opposed to the practices of their work. However, more objective questions, such as support themselves and their family, led them to this reality.

title: Market-based places, diversity, and intersectional exclusion

description: Abstract This article aims to understand how the incidence of intersectionality operates within market-based places that present themselves as diverse or open to diversity. The study adopted the intersectional approach to locate minorities (the gay male public) within a network of relationships within this context (gay market-based places). The study involved a two-year-long (2015 and 2016) fieldwork conducted in two cities: Porto Alegre and Montreal, comprising 26 interviews. The findings show how the exclusion of marginalized categories occurs even within places that ostensibly cater to a public formed by such categories. Finally, the article discusses the managerial implication of how the expectation of open to diversity is counterintuitive, since the more broadened the offer in a market-based place, the bigger the perception of intersectional exclusion.

title: Government planning in Brazilian municipalities: towards a research agenda

description: Abstract Brazil’s Constitution of 1988 gave municipalities the status of autonomous federated entities. They were assigned a series of responsibilities in the field of public policies, including the duty of preparing government plans. Before the constitution, planning and the state capability regarding this task were concentrated in the federal bureaucracy. In this institutional and organizational changing scenario, the objective of this article was to investigate the scientific production regarding municipal planning. A systematized search of articles was carried out on the Portal Periódicos Capes databases for the period 1995 to 2018. The results showed that the field is incipient, lacking theoretical and analytical regularity, privileges a normative bias, and is strongly based on approaches developed in the field of business administration. This study corroborates the relevance of this research agenda. It stresses the importance of local management for the federation and the protection of rights.

title: Corporate Social Responsibility: a critical view from the case study of Samarco’s socio environmental tragedy

description: Abstract Corporate Social Responsibility models in the mining industry have often used sustainability reports and practices linked to the model of the Social License to Operate as a way to ensure the legitimacy of its operations. In Brazil, the Samarco case has challenged the implementation of both strategies, after the company, which was considered an example of social responsibility practices in the mining sector, was responsible for one of the worst social environmental tragedies in the country. This research adopts a case study of the Fundão dam collapse, to enhance the contradictions of the Corporate Social Responsibility model that contributed to the tragedy. Data collection included the company’s sustainability reports, documents from public agencies, and interviews with the company’s stakeholders affected by the tragedy. The data were worked through content analysis. The results show contradictions between the company’s documents and the perception of the community about the risks. Corporate Social Responsibility adopted by Samarco prioritized monitoring the perception of image and the company’s reputation with its different stakeholders, by reaching a high level of trust between the company and population. However, this strategy, combined with the economic dependence of the municipality, hid the operational risks of the Fundão dam resulting in increased vulnerability of the local community.

title: Behavioral agency research and theory: a review and research agenda

description: Abstract The behavioral agency theory verifies the relationship between company executives, CEOs, and managers, and their decision-making within the firm. The mechanisms of governance and the forms of remuneration are instruments that monitor internal members avoiding risks that potentially harm the organization’s valuation. This article highlights the importance of the behavioral agency theory both for firms that trust their decision-making process to an agent and for the behavior of this agent. Both aspects are subject to concerns that usually lead to recommendations to establish or improve the executives’ compensation plans. Through bibliometric research analyzing 107 articles, it was possible to verify that executives’ performance compensation, according to agency theory, is the most used mechanism to stimulate executives to make decisions toward the company’s growth and best performance. This study’s theoretical and empirical contribution point to the need for future research on this topic since understanding the agent’s behavior is strategic for companies to help the agent to act on its benefit while reducing the possibilities of inadequate and harmful behavior.

title: Antecedents and consequences of organizational commitment, entrenchment, and consent

description: Abstract This study aims to develop a model that analyzes the influence of organizational values as antecedent variables of the individuals’ commitment, entrenchment and consent with the organization, and work performance as the consequent variable of this relationship between individuals and organizations. Descriptive and conclusive research was carried out using a quantitative and qualitative approach. The research was structured in two phases. In the first phase, the data were collected from the application of a closed questionnaire. For the quantitative data, the analysis was operationalized by means of the modeling technique of structural equations. In the second phase, data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The analysis of the qualitative data was carried out using the technique of content analysis. The results reveal that certain values shared by the organization are determinants of the type of linkages that the individual develops with the organization, with different values influencing different linkages. Also, as a consequence, the type of organizational link established influences the performance of the individual at work.

title: Who are the Brazilian companies and what do they do? Analyses of mission statements

description: Abstract The research aims to delineate an identity profile of the 500 biggest Brazilian companies based on their mission statements. It is a qualitative study, using discourse and content analyses, and the theoretical framework is grounded in the field of strategic management. The study identified that the majority of Brazilian companies include their mission statement on their website. The analysis shows that 71,7% of the statements have the components recommended by the literature for a good mission statement - “goals,” “policies/values,” and “competitive arena” - and revels the predominance of an external focus (customers). The results show that the technique of elaborating and using mission statements is widespread in Brazil, but there is room for improvement in terms of contents. The article identifies new possibilities for research, such as a comparative analysis of performance among companies with different identity profiles, regarding their mission statements.

title: The wage gap in accounting positions

description: Abstract This research aimed to describe the wage differences among accounting occupations in Brazil. A descriptive, documental, and quantitative research was carried out with auditors, accountants, and accounting assistants (occupations defined by the Código Brasileiro de Ocupações - CBO). The study used regressions with binary variables analyzing data from 2009 to 2015. The results showed that low wages are significant among female black or mulatto workers; workers who completed high school and do not have a degree; with a disability; and in their first job or hired under a fixed-term contract. Also, the study observed that individuals who receive a higher wage are accountants, caucasian male, between 30 and 39 years old, holding a degree, and not disabled. The individuals with higher wages have work experience (they are at least in their second work contract), are employed in a company with up to four employees, and are residents of the Southeast region of Brazil.

title: Innovation ecosystems articulation and shared value creation

description: Abstract The changes in the perception about the role of organizations reinforce the notion that creating value for society is as important as generating profit for shareholders. Against this backdrop, this study assumes that innovation ecosystems, because they are based on the interconnection and interrelation of a network of actors to generate innovation, have an important role in balancing profit generation and the creation of value for society. The research question: how can the articulation of an innovation ecosystem generate shared value for all those involved? led to a participatory action research exploring an initiative gathering a German multinational company located in the southern region of Brazil, a public school, a university, the local government, and the community. The initiative producing this interaction was called project “Arcos.” It aimed to connect the company’s managers and university and school students, who formed an innovation ecosystem to create shared value and address local social problems. The study presents a framework with the main benefits perceived by the network of actors, as well as propositions about innovation ecosystems and shared value creation.

title: Unveiling the concept of transparency: its limits, varieties and the creation of a typology

description: Abstract This article aims to unveil the concept of transparency considering its limits, varieties and forms of identification. The premise is that secrecy is vital in the execution of some public policies, which brings different parameters to the analysis of transparency in these contexts if compared with policies that do not need secrecy. The purpose of this article is to fill a gap in the national and international literature, which disregards the different levels of access to information of public organizations citizens can have. Therefore, through the application of Goertz (2006a) model of concept formation on Michener and Bersch’s (2013) concept of transparency, and also considering the transparency varieties and directions mentioned by Hood and Heald (2006), the study proposes a typology with four non-mutually exclusive subtypes of transparency in organizations: the fuller transparency, the nominal transparency, the conditional transparency and the transparency in the allocation and management of sensitive information. The typology reveals a myriad of different layers of access to information and analysis that enable more precise transparency evaluations of public institutions. Finally, the definitions and the analytical possibilities of each of the subtypes are discussed.

title: Incentives and financing for research and innovation in agriculture: study in research foundations in the South of Brazil

description: Abstract Brazilian agriculture is increasingly consolidating as one of the world’s leading food producers. The major challenge of this branch is to meet global demand for food, which, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), will be 60% higher in 2050 than today. This challenge is aggravated by changes in dietary habits, climate change, and environmental impacts. This research was based on the Resource Dependency Theory, which assumes that no organization is capable of generating all the types of resources that it needs for its survival and growth, and therefore depends on its external environment to obtain resources that enable its operation. The general research objective was to discuss the dependence of resources for research and innovation in agriculture in five Research Foundations in the south of Brazil. The study was descriptive and comparative, with a qualitative approach. For data collection, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the managers responsible for the five selected Research Foundations. The results pointed out that, despite the existence of financing lines and fiscal incentives, there is still a predominance of private resources in researching for innovation in agriculture. The researched foundations rely on maintainers, who are responsible for providing resources not coming from the public sector or from the entity’s organic revenues.

title: The performance of business managers in public agencies: organizational identification in the face of a business-oriented background

description: Abstract Organizational identification is a recurring theme in the study of behavioral aspects in different organizations. This research aims to analyze the identification of civil servants of a federal University, who are managers graduated in business administration. Through the observation of official documents, and semi-structured interviews analyzed with the software Atlas TI 7.0, and participant observation, a case study was carried out in a Brazilian Higher Education Institution of the Federal Government. The study counted on the support of the Rector and the approval of the institution’s Ethics Committee. The analysis for organizational identification was carried out using the proposed model based on a map of identification and a map of frustration (KREINER and ASHORTH, 2004; ROCHA and SILVA, 2007). Stability, quality of life, training opportunities, the flexibility to propose new workflows and living together with resourceful persons contribute to organizational identification. On the other hand, political decisions, lack of work continuity, absence of defined procedures, career plan, lack of planning of actions, communication problems, bureaucracy, uneven workload and knowledge of specific legislation leads to frustration, under the context of the managerial rationality. Therefore, the identification process of these civil servants was ambivalent and their educational background in business administration was one of the factors that contributed most to this identification.
