Full textA intenção de saída (ou Turnover Intention - TI) é um fenómeno de grande relevância na gestão de recursos humanos, em particular, sentido nas firmas de auditoria que são marcadas pela existência de um elevado nível de rotação do seu staff. Desta forma, a identificação dos fatores indutores do TI torna-se um elemento fulcral no desenvolvimento de políticas ao nível do capital humano dessas empresas. O presente estudo analisa o efeito de cinco fatores (stress, suporte organizacional percecionado, sistema de incentivos, performance no trabalho e importância do cliente auditado) na TI dos colaboradores das firmas de auditoria portuguesas. Neste trabalho utilizámos o método PLS-SEM a uma amostra constituída por 83 individuos, cujos dados foram recolhidos através de um inquérito por questionário. Os resultados mostram que existe um efeito positivo do suporte organizacional na satisfação no trabalho e negativo da performance e satisfação no trabalho na TI. No entanto, os resultados sugerem uma relação negativa entre o stress e a satisfação no trabalho. Verificámos que o mesmo acontece dada a natureza jovem e pouco experiente da amostra, pelo que tarefas que induzem stress não são drivers de intenção de saída, mas sim oportunidades desafiantes e de crescimento para o jovem auditor. Concluímos também que não existem relações significativas entre a importância do cliente e satisfação no trabalho e TI.
Turnover intention (TI) is a phenomenon of great relevance in the management of human resources. Audit firms are marked by the existence of a high level of rotation of their staff. Thus, the identification of the factors that induce TI becomes a central element in the development of policies regarding the human capital of these companies. The present study analyzes the effect of five factors (stress, perceived organizational support, incentive system, job performance and client importance) on TI of employees of Portuguese audit firms. In this dissertation, we used the PLS-SEM method to a sample consisting of 83 individuals, whose data were collected through a questionnaire survey. The results show that there is a positive effect of organizational support on job satisfaction and a negative effect of performance and job satisfaction on TI. However, the results suggest a negative relationship between stress and job satisfaction. We found that the this happens due to the young and inexperienced nature of the sample. Therefore, tasks that induce stress are not drivers of intention to leave but challenging and growth opportunities for the young auditor. We also concluded that there are no significant relationships between client importance on job satisfaction and TI.

Full textThis essay examines the problems concerning auditors personal engagement and human be- haviours. Auditors and clients have different incentives, which are used to reach a certain preferred situation. Regardless of what the incentives are used for, the aim is to subjectively satisfy a certain interest. The essay is based on previously published scientific articles and is a further research based on Tepalagul and Lins study from year 2015. This essay includes a survey of four threats concerning auditor’s independence. The study will present a detailed investigation of these four threats that may have an affect on the auditor's independence. The threats are: the clients importance, the offering of non-audit services, auditor tenure and the client affiliation. The purpose of this essay is to find clarity if whether or not these threats in practice may actually threaten the auditor's independence towards the client, and if these threats can be prevented and if so, in what way measures may appear. The study will be making associations to psychological factors influencing human behaviours. The concept cognitive dissonance is used in this study to explain the ethical dilemmas that auditors face in their profession. The study's purpose is also to find a clarity of how cognitive dissonance can give an extended explanation about the problems concerning auditor’s independence. Depending on how the auditor stands in situations of various threats to the independence with accompanying pressures from their clients and the environment, the audit quality may shift. The essay will be performed in line with the hermeneuthic tradition in the form of a qualitative approach with interviews as data collection methods. Based on respondents’ opinions, we can conclude that these threats exist within the audit profession, but much depends on the auditor as a person and his or her integrity and resilience. The results also confirm that humans usually know that their assessments should be objective, but they unknowingly make incorrect judgments when they mix up what is personally beneficial with what is fair or moral. For each and everyone of these threats we discuss the empirically given results and previous research. This with regard to the clients and the auditors different incentives, threats, cognitive processes, and audit quality. The study empties into the ideas about further research. We emphasize the importance of among other things carrying out a similar research with female certified auditors as respondents.

Full textThis essay studies the design process from a collaborative point of view. A literature study has been carried out with focus on design processes and collaborative design, where important concepts and notions are presented. A practical design process was carried out where the project was to create a station identification for Swedish Channel 9. The process was than retrospectively analyzed and broken down into a time-line describing the whole process from amongst other a collaborative point of view. Collaboration between designers and client is found to be very important for the final design. Constraints are considered important to force creativity and the ability to convey abstract thoughts over long distance channels such as e-mail is found to be important in order to overcome the spatial barrier that exists in many design processes today.

Full textThe objective of the research is to determine the perception of the importance of job satisfaction in the rotation intention of the personnel in contact with the client in the aeronautical sector, for which, the determining variables in this investigation will be job satisfaction and the intention of rotation. For this, 401 employees of the aeronautical sector, known as personnel in contact with the client or PEC, were surveyed. It should be noted that the respondents work in the passenger and crew service areas. To perform our analysis, we use two surveys, the first, proposed by Warr, Cook and Wall is the general satisfaction scale consisting of 15 questions focused on job satisfaction, and the second proposed by Jacobs and Roodt is a questionnaire of intention to rotate Consisting of 14 questions, both have a scale of likert 1 to 7. The results obtained in the analysis indicate that for the PEC personnel, the work shift is the most relevant variable at the moment of considering withdrawing from the company, being the least relevant the recognition in the work. However, the personnel that works exclusively in passenger service, considers the remuneration variable more relevant in comparison to the crew personne.

Full textThis thesis focuses on trophic interactions between soil biota (microorganisms, detritivorous and predators) in three forests from South of France (pine forest, downy and holm oak forests) and how climate change expected in the Mediterranean region (via amplified drought) could affect these relationships. We reported that the soil organisms’ communities were strongly influenced by the litter identity of and by the forest type. Downy oak litter favored the abundance of all soil communities while holm oak forest was unfavorable for many groups of organisms. In a climate change context, experimentally amplified drought alters the soil food web with distinct responses according to trophic group and forest type. These results suggest that within the same Mediterranean region, climate change could differently modify the soil biota with consequences on their contribution to the litter decomposition process

The aim of this work was to measure the importance and the quality of some specific topics (performance) offered by a secondary health care Out-patient Clinic as perceived by the patients. It had the purpose of generating data that can help to develop strategic planning to manage the clinical services. This study was carried out at the Central Out-patient Clinic (Amce) of the University of Caxias do Sul (UCS). The Amce has been playing an important role in providing health care (medicine, nursing, psychology, physiotherapy, nutrition and social service) to the population of Caxias do Sul and neighborhood areas. To implement this study a quantitative research was performed, giving a questionnaire to a sample of patients of Amce (Phase A reception and clinical assistance, phase B - carrying out of complementary exams and phase C exams results and clinical follow up). The key variables of the study included: accessibility to the Amce, reception and waiting room, building conditions, behavior of the healthcare professional, confidence on the self-recovery, acceptance to be treated by a healthcare professional and students together, quickness to handle pacient´s demands, and readiness to indicate Amce services to other people. The data was analyzed by using a matrix method correlating importance versus performance. Additional statistical analyses were carried out, which indicated significant differences between means of the main research variables. With this study it was possible to verify that the importance and performance had relevant results. Therefore, the Acme may have room to improve the rendering of health care services.

Full textCoastal ecosystems, among the most ecologically and economically important ecosystems are highly threatened by the combined influence of global warming and direct anthropogenic forcing. Over the last two decades, concomitant changes in local environment, regional climate, and large-scale hydro-climatic conditions have been observed worldwide. Such changes strongly affect biological compartments, from phytoplankton to top predators, altering the structure and functioning of ecosystems. Changes in biodiversity may occur over long periods resulting from abrupt changes or accumulation of subtle modifications altering in both cases the functioning of ecosystems. One of the current challenge is to find robust diversity metrics in order to characterise changes in biodiversity in relation with local and global drivers. In this context, the general objective of the thesis was the characterisation of the influence of climatic variability on zooplankton communities in coastal zones at a decadal temporal scale. At the local scale, multivariate analyses performed on data from an environmental monitoring (2001-2014) allowed us to characterise de relationships between climatic drivers, environmental variability et an abrupt modification in zooplankton diversity in Arcachon Bay in the mid-2000’s. A comparative approach at the regional scale at the same temporal scale, associating the variability of biodiversity index and multivariate analysis, allowed to identify synchronous changes in zooplankton communities of Arcachon Bay and the Gironde Estuary in the mid-2000’s. The approach concerning the mexican littoral areas (in the south of the Gulf of California) allowed us to characterise climate, pelagic environment and zooplankton diversity variabilities during an extreme ENSO event. The results allowed us to define the basis of a future long term survey in this area of interest in terms of biodiversity
Besson, Marc. "Importance of metamorphosis in coral-reef fish larval recruitment facing anthropogenic pressures." Thesis, Paris Sciences et Lettres (ComUE), 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PSLEP024/document.
Full textThe persistence and sustainability of coral-reef fish populations depends on the continued larval recruitment, i.e. successful settlement by pelagic larvae into adult reef habitats and post-settlement survival through metamorphosis to a juvenile stage. There is growing evidence that changes to water conditions due to global change and waterborne pollution can impair coral-reef fish sensory abilities to locate settlement habitats that maximize growth while minimizing mortality risk. However, the inner mechanisms of such impairments remain unknown. In this thesis, I have examined the recruitment phase of the convict surgeonfish Acanthurus triostegus, and determined that the ecological, morphological, physiological and behavioral changes occurring at recruitment correspond to a metamorphosis mediated by thyroid hormones (TH). Then, I investigated whether this metamorphosis is prone to endocrine disruption under anthropogenic disturbances such as elevated sea water temperature and agricultural pesticide pollution. I demonstrated that such pressures can reduce TH levels at a critical developmental stage in coral-reef fishes, impairing their metamorphic processes such as intestine remodeling, sensory organ maturation, and sensory abilities acquisition, further increasing their mortality rates. Overall, this thesis is a holistic analysis that addresses molecular, histological, anatomical, and behavioral assays of multiple stressors affecting coral-reef fish recruitment. It indicates the importance of a proper endocrine function during coral-reef fish recruitment, highlighting the need for a better understanding of these processes for coral-reef conservation

Full textThe tropical rain forest contributes largely to a climatic equilibrium which is maintained by the general atmospheric circulation. However, due to the population pressure, the current evolution of this forest zone requires that an agricultural development should be stimulated in accordance with the characteristics of this zone, which urged us to contribute to this comprehensive program. The first objective consists in studying the behavior of a forest zone covered with Hevea /Brasiliensis (producing rubber) which has been introduced recently in the forest zone of the Ivory Coast as part of a policy of regional development. This study has been made by analyzing the energy balance-Bowen ratio method associated with the water balance. The evaluation of the different processes according to the soil-climatic conditions allowed to modelize the characteristics of the dynamics of the forest zone covered with Hevea and therefore its yield. The second objective consists in characterizing the regional energy balance using an adequate model for evaluation transfers and particularly the water vapor transfer. Due to the large forest areas, any modification in the properties of the forest area alters the heat and water vapor exchanges, thus affecting some physical parameters of the air mass. The study is made on drainage basin situated in the south-western part of the forest zone. Due to its aerial and underground vertical structure, the forest recycles about 55 to 70 % of the annual rainfalls into the atmosphere, thus preserving the physical characteristics of the humid air mass from the ocean. The large-scale introduction of annual crops would alter the regional energy equilibrium whose impact would be observed on the region situated north of the forest zone

Full textAtualmente, garantir que os serviços são entregues com elevada qualidade é de crucial importância para as organizações, como forma de diferenciação e de vantagem competitiva. Fruto da evolução das novas tecnologias e aplicações relacionadas com a web 2.0., os consumidores turísticos utilizam cada vez mais formas online com o intuito de planearem as suas viagens e fazerem escolhas de alojamento. Paralelamente, o número de páginas que disponibilizam opiniões e comentários online sobre hotéis, tem vindo a aumentar exponencialmente, exercendo cada vez mais influência na decisão final de reserva. A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo principal explorar formas de analisar e sumariar grandes volumes de informação disponível online gerada por clientes, que possam apoiar as escolhas e decisões de clientes e prestadores de serviços. O estudo desenvolve uma análise de importância-desempenho (Importance Performance Analysis) de forma a posicionar informação relativa aos comentários online de consumidores sobre as unidades hoteleiras da cidade de Aveiro, nomeadamente os atributos a que os clientes atribuem maior importância. O estudo centra-se na análise dos comentários disponibilizados até uma determinada data, na página de reservas online booking.com, acerca destes alojamentos, recorrendo a uma contagem e análise de palavras associadas a opiniões positivas e negativas. Foram utilizados mais de 5600 comentários, que depois de filtrados, possibilitaram o posicionamento de diversos atributos na matriz de importância desempenho. Os resultados sugerem que não existe uma relação direta entre as características hoteleiras e o número de comentários online. Mostram também que é possível extrair informação, de forma consistente, acerca dos atributos mais valorizados pelos clientes a partir dos comentários online, bem como explorar formas de sumarização e visualização do posicionamento destes atributos para o universo de hotéis em análise, que se revelam úteis para informar as decisões dos clientes e da gestão.
Nowadays, the delivery of services with high quality standards is of key importance to organizations as a means of achieving differentiation and competitive advantage. The evolutions observed in new technologies and in applications related to Web 2.0, are leading tourist consumers to an increasing usage of online communication, notably to plan their trips and make accommodation choices. At the same time, the number of pages that provide online reviews and comments about hotels has been increasing exponentially, and exerting an increasing influence on the final booking decisions. This study aims to explore ways to analyse and summarize large volumes of online information generated by customers with the purpose of supporting the choices and decisions of customers and service providers. The study develops an importance - performance analysis with the purpose of positioning the information extracted from online consumer reviews for hotel units of the city of Aveiro, notably for the attributes that customers perceive as more important. The study addresses all comments available at a certain date at the booking.com booking page concerning the targeted accommodations, and relies on counting and analysis of words associated with positive and negative opinions. More than 5,600 comments were used, after the necessary data cleaning, for positioning the identified relevant attributes in the Importance-Performance Matrix. The results suggest that there is no direct relationship between the hotel characteristics and the number of online reviews. The analysis has also shown that it is possible to extract information, in a consistent manner, from online customer reviews, as well as to explore forms of summarization and visualization of the positioning of the service attributes for the selected hotels, that are useful for informing the customer and managerial decisions.

Full textEven the world’s most northern ecosystems have been affected by climate warming and High Arctic lakes are no exception. Ellesmere Island is at the northernmost limit of Canada, and regime shifts have already been documented in its lakes towards taxa associated with longer growing seasons. It has been projected that the northern coast of Ellesmere Island is within a region that will experience the greatest annual warming in the Arctic over the next 80 years, and so understanding the functioning of its sensitive coastal lakes is critical before further changes occur. I studied a series of four lakes in Stuckberry Valley (82º54 N, 66º58 W) to give insight into their under-ice phytoplankton dynamics. My objectives were 1) identify and quantify the photosynthetic communities found in the Stuckberry Valley lakes, 2) determine the physicochemical variables that exerted the strongest control over within- and between-lake community variation, and 3) expand the understanding of under-ice High Arctic freshwater ecosystems and their function. Light intensities and DO concentrations exerted primary control over the distribution and abundance of photosynthetic organisms, in addition to important roles played by specific conductivity and nitrogen. These variables clearly distinguished two deep, oxic lakes from two shallow, anoxic lakes. Differences in photosynthetic community types between lakes and depths was strongly linked to DO concentrations: the red pigment algal line dominated in oxic waters, while purple sulfur bacteria (PSB) were found in anoxic zones. Pigments indicated that dinoflagellates, cryptophytes, and haptophytes were abundant throughout all four lakes, with lower concentrations of chrysophyte and chlorophyte pigments. My thesis represents one of the very few studies of High Arctic under-ice photosynthetic communities, and it significantly advances our understanding of ecological processes in this highly sensitive region.
