Although cross-cultural leadership research has thrived in international business literature, little attention has been devoted to understanding the effectiveness of non-western theories beyond their original contexts. The purpose of this study is to examine the cross-cultural endorsement of paternalistic leadership, an emerging non-western leadership theory, using data from GLOBE project. Using multigroup confirmatory factor analyses we found measurement equivalence of a scale derived from GLOBE’s data, which enabled us to compare the endorsement of paternalistic leadership dimensions across 10 cultural clusters and 55 societies. Our study revealed that there are significant differences in the importance societies give to each dimension, suggesting that paternalism as leadership style is not universally nor homogeneously endorsed. Furthermore, results suggest that different patterns of endorsement of each of these dimensions give rise to idiosyncratic shades of paternalistic leadership across societies. Implications for theory and future research on international business are discussed.
Paternalistic leadership is a flourishing area in leadership literature, traditionally assumed to be culture bounded. However, empirical evidences have suggested that rather than national cultures, the conditions under which paternalistic leaders are effective can be related to the fit between the style of a leader and that of his or her followers. In the present research, we focus on paternalistic leadership and contrast it with empowering leadership, as two opposite ways on how leaders influence followers, to explore the individual conditions under which both styles can be effective. Adopting a follower-centered approach, we base our arguments on person-supervisor (P-S) fit theory and regulatory focus theory to propose that leadership effectiveness may be contingent to followers’ own values and motivational needs. We expected paternalistic leadership behaviors (e.g, authority, benevolence, support) to supply motivational needs for predominantly prevention-focused followers, and empowering leadership behaviors (e.g. empowerment, encouragement and autonomy) to supply motivational needs for predominantly promotion-focused followers. Using data collected from two experimental studies and a business simulation, we found support for these ideas, showing that fit increased followers’ perception of attitudinal and behavioral outcomes, such as in-role and creative performance.

Full textThe purpose with this study is to achieve a deeper knowledge and understanding for the perceived importance of using a Person-Organization fit in recruitment. The study also aims to investigate a possible existing organizational culture in an industrial company, and how concistent this culture seems to be throughout the organization. The authors have also tried to gain knowledge on how new employees are indroduced into this culture. The results are based on three group interviews with operational personnel, interviews with two persons from the manegerial group, and interviews with two recruitment firms. The results indicate that a Person-Organization fit is perceived to be important when it comes to some basic values. However, different personalities are more desirable within the investigated organization concerning recruits. Results also indicate that the socialization process, rather than an applied Person-Organization fit, might have a larger significance for a perceived congruence between personal and organizational values.

Research on paternalistic leadership (PL) has been based exclusively on national cultures´ differences. However there are cues that other contextual variables can add to the explanation of this construct. Due to its capacity to influence expectations of individuals in organizations, organizational culture can contribute to fill this gap. To test if organizational culture influences the effectiveness of leadership style, we conducted two experimental studies using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, comparing effects of paternalistic and transformational leadership on followers’ outcomes. Using video clips and vignettes, we found that PL is better related to followers´ outcomes in cultures oriented to people than outcome, and that TL has a better relationship in cultures oriented to innovation than stability. The results suggest that organizational culture helps in explaining PL endorsement, and that further analysis of the influence of this variable to PL can provide a better understanding of the expression of this leadership style in organizations.

This dissertation explores the connection between founder personality and organizational culture in founder-led entrepreneurial companies. With a focus on how founder personality affects culture, it draws from the literature in upper echelon/top management teams, family business and organizational psychology – notably the Attraction-Selection-Attrition (ASA: Schneider, 1987) and Person-Organization fit (P-O: O'Reilly, Chatman, & Caldwell, 1991) theories. Using a combination of ethnographic, psychological and organizational data from the founders and employees of four small firms from multiple industries, and a broader survey study of 336 respondents from 23 firms, it finds support for O’Reilly et al., (2014)’s CEO Personality-Culture link in the small-company setting. It also validates two new findings: 1) that employee personality traits can trump founder personality as an influence on culture, and 2) that founder involvement can moderate the impact of founder personality on culture. The dissertation concludes with plans for further research into the personality-organizational culture effects and thoughts about the applicability of these results for founders and consultants.

Exercise adherence is fundamental in the management of hypertension and other chronic diseases. The purpose of this study was two-fold. The first purpose was to examine patterns of adherence and to describe the influences of demographic, psychosocial, physiological, and sociocultural variables on adherence among African Americans enrolled in the Fit 4 Life study. The second purpose was to determine follow-up exercise behaviors of participants previously enrolled in the Fit 4 Life study. A mixed-methods approach was used with questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. A total of 75 African Americans (mean age = 51.8) who were previously enrolled in the Fit 4 Life study completed a several measures, which included a demographic questionnaire, psychosocial measures (SOC - Short Form; EBBS; BARSE; MHLC - Form C; SLS), and physiological tests (e.g., BMI, blood pressure, fasting glucose, cholesterol). Nine semi-structured interviews were conducted with exercise adherers (n = 5) and non-adherers (n = 4) who returned the questionnaires. Interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis and resulted in the emergence of four themes, and 10 associated subthemes, which described the participants' perceptions of exercise, their environment, and how these elements influence exercise behavior. The major themes were: benefits, barriers, facilitators, African American. Analysis revealed that adherers were able to identify greater physical activity benefits, and developed strategies to overcome barriers to exercise, including finding sources of social support outside of their friends and family. Adherers were also more likely to view self-efficacy as a benefit of exercise, as well as view exercise as an opportunity to focus on themselves. Through a series of chi-square analyses and independent samples t-tests, quantitative results revealed that adherers lived in smaller households and worked part-time. Adherers also had lower diastolic blood pressures, weighed less, had lower resting metabolic rates, less fat mass, and lower BMIs than non-adherers. Finally, adherers perceived fewer barriers to exercise, and had greater life satisfaction than non-adherers.

Esta dissertação propõe uma reflexão sobre as razões que levaram o presidente Fernando Collor a impor, de forma abrupta e imediata, mudanças profundas no setor cultural. Ao tomar posse, em 15 de março de 1990, Collor, por meio de Medidas Provisórias, extinguiu o MinC, dissolveu inúmeras fundações e determinou o fim da Lei Sarney. A pesquisa parte da discussão sobre o processo de construção do MinC em 1985, as polêmicas em torno da pertinência ou não de sua criação, e a campanha presidencial de 1989, focalizando fundamentalmente o ano de 1990, quando o presidente eleito impôs uma verdadeira mudança na cultura. A extensão e o significado do impacto causado pelas medidas baixadas naquele ano por Collor que levaram à extinção do MinC e da Lei Sarney e à dissolução de inúmeras fundações, bem como as repercussões que essas mudanças causaram na vida de artistas, intelectuais e gestores culturais que vivenciaram esse desmonte, são objetos de análise na presente investigação. No estudo, além de pesquisa documental, foram utilizados como fonte de análise empírica quatro periódicos de circulação nacional: os jornais Folha de S. Paulo, O Estado de S.Paulo, Jornal do Brasil e O Globo. A investigação envolveu também a análise de entrevistas, algumas delas realizadas pelo pesquisador em 2010 para a série Produção Cultural no Brasil. Além disso, entrevistas de tipo semiestruturado foram realizadas pelo pesquisador com gestores culturais e lideranças políticas que, durante o período analisado, atuaram na coordenação de órgãos federais e estadual específicos. Essas entrevistas semiestruturadas tiveram o propósito de atender ao objetivo da pesquisa e aos seus pressupostos metodológicos

Full textPurpose: The purpose is to present advantages and disadvantages of how organizational culture affects the recruitment in organizations that are incused by organizational culture, and how an organization decides which individual that fits the organization. We intend to describe certain ventures, possibilities and limitations with these methods for both organization and individual. Methodology: A more case study has been applied on five organizations within the private sector as a research design, with an inductive approach. A qualitative method has been used where semi-structured interviews have been implemented from where data has been established. Conclusion: Organizational culture incused the recruitment by what they were looking for in an applicant rather than how it affected the recruitment process. To find the right applicant a realistic organizational presentation was prominent together with how the interview was designed. The organization recruited applicants after their values, which were presented by the organization and discussed during the interviews. The advantages were reduced risk of misinterpretation by applicants along with a greater possibility of choice and a tool for organizations to reduce too high expectations on employment. The disadvantages were more elements to examine while the process became resource demanding, while several conditions had to be fulfilled. If the right conditions couldn’t be obtained the risk was a resource demanding recruiting with an unforeseen result.

Full textAntecedentes: A pesar de la importancia ofrecida en la literatura, el concepto de congruencia de valores es aún poco conocido. La literatura es ambigua y el tema es aún poco conocido. La congruencia de valores se trata en las áreas de gestión y psicología relacionándola con diversas actitudes hacia el trabajo o hacia los resultados empresariales. No obstante, el proceso que afecta a estos resultados sigue siendo muy polémico. Es decir, no sabemos exactamente por qué la congruencia de valores produce efectos en los resultados empresariales. Pregunta de investigación: Esta tesis intenta explicar el efecto de la congruencia de valores. Es decir, cuál es la correlación o relación semicausal entre la congruencia o incongruencia de valores y determinadas actitudes laborales tales como la satisfacción laboral, compromiso organizacional, por un lado, y de salud, tales como el estrés laboral o la salud física, por el otro. Enfoque teórico: Reconociendo el hecho de que las explicaciones actuales sobre los efectos de la congruencia de los valores son especulativas, fragmentadas y de carácter social, en esta tesis se utiliza la teoría basada en el autoconcepto como teoría subyacente para comprobar empíricamente el mecanismo de mediación de las variables de autoconcepto en la relación entre la congruencia de valores y los resultados empresariales. Se afirma que este mecanismo individual es similar a los efectos de mediación de los mecanismos sociales tales como la confianza. Diseño: En esta tesis se utiliza el enfoque de tres papers relacionados. En el primero de ellos se hace una revisión de la literatura existente sobre congruencia de valores y contextualiza la investigación desde un marco global. El segundo paper utiliza la teoría del autoconcepto para explicar los efectos de la congruencia de valores en los resultados laborales relacionados con la actitud, tales como salud mental (burnout) y una serie de resultados relacionados organizativamente como la propensión de accidentes y de las intenciones de rotar. Los datos fueron recogidos entre las enfermeras que trabajan en un gran hospital universitario en Cataluña. El tercer paper utiliza algunas de las variables derivadas de la teoría del auto-concepto para probar empíricamente la importancia relativa y la configuración de mecanismos individuales y mecanismos sociales como mediadores entre la congruencia de valores y una serie de resultados específicos individuales, como la satisfacción en el trabajo, el compromiso con la organización y el agotamiento. Este tercer estudio se llevó a cabo en un hospital del noreste de China. Resultados: El primer paper establece las bases para futuros estudios especificando las necesidades y las limitaciones de trabajos previos. En los dos estudios empíricos, se ha encontrado que la teoría del autoconcepto se puede aplicar en el contexto de la comprensión del proceso de efectos de la congruencia de los valores. En el segundo paper, se ha observado que, para diferentes tipos de valores, el agotamiento media de forma distinta entre los efectos de la incongruencia de valores en los resultados. En cuanto al tercer paper, se ha hallado que, para diferentes resultados, las variables del autoconcepto median entre los efectos de la congruencia de los valores de forma distinta, pero se ha constatado que la confianza en la organización es un mediador social consistente. Esto último refuerza el reciente interés en utilizar en mayor medida la construcción de la confianza en las investigaciones sobre organizaciones. Ello resultó ser válido en el contexto chino. Conclusión: Esta tesis sostiene que el estudio sobre la congruencia de valores es muy importante tanto para los individuos como para las organizaciones. A pesar de que sus efectos directos o de mediación, ello también afecta a resultados relacionados con la salud del individuo (es decir, agotamiento o la salud física), así como a resultados relacionados con la salud de la organización (el compromiso, la propensión de accidentes,, la previsión de volumen de negocio, y similares).
Background: Albeit the critical importance accorded in the literature to the concept of value congruence it is still poorly understood. The literature dealing with it is ambiguous and inconsistent. Value incongruence in the management and psychological disciplines, has been related to various job attitudes and other work related outcomes, but the process of which it affects the latter remains controversial. That is, we do not know exactly why value congruence (or value incongruence) is supposed to have these effects on the outcomes studied. Research question:This thesis is an attempt to understand the process of value congruence’s effect. That is to say: what are the correlational or semi causal relationships between value congruence and value incongruence on selected attitudinal outcomes such as job satisfaction, organizational commitment on one hand, and health outcomes, such as job burnout or physical health , on the other hand?. Theoretical approach:The underlying theory of “self-concept” has been used in its application to the construct of value congruence. More specifically, the mediating mechanism of self-concept variables on the relationship between value congruence and outcomes was empirically tested. Furthermore, the relative importance and the particular configuration of individualmechanism vssocial mechanism functioning simultaneously as mediatorshave been tested. . Design:This thesis uses three connected papers. The first paper is a comprehensive review of the literature on value congruence. Itintegrates value congruence research into a coherent framework.A clear agenda for research results from the conclusions reached in this first paper. The second paper inspired by the “self-concept theory”,tests the relationships between value congruence on specific outcomes such as mental health (burnout), physical health, and a host of organizationally related outcomes such as accident propensity and turnover intentions. Data was collected amongst nurses working in a large university hospital in Catalonia. The third paper also uses some variables derived from the self-concept theory to empirically test the relative importance and the particular configuration of individualmechanism and social mechanism functioning simultaneously as mediatorsbetween value congruence and a host of specific individual outcomes such as job satisfaction, organizational commitment and Burnout. This third study was carried out in a county hospital in northeast China. Method: The first paper is qualitative in nature. It synthesizes and classifies related definitions, models and measurement based on the literature. The second and the third papers are empirical studies based on cross-sectional pre validated surveys conducted in Spain and China in the health care settings. Univariate, bivariate and multivariate analyses were employed throughout different phases of the studies. Multiple regressiontechnique was employed to test the mediation effect. Results:The first study sets up the agenda for future research in specifying needs and limitations of previous research. In the two empirical papers, it has been found that self-concept theory can serve for understanding the effects of value congruence. More specifically the second paper shows that for different types of value incongruence, burnout mediatesin a differential manner the effects on the outcomes studied. Third paper, found that, for different outcomes, self-concept variables mediates the effects of value congruence differentially, but trust in the organization, a specific variable that was added in this study, was a consistent social mediator. The latter reinforces recent call to further use the construct of trust in organizational research. This was found to be valid in the Chinese context. Conclusion: The thesis argues that studying value congruence can be very important to both individuals and organizations. Regardless of its direct or mediating effects, it impacts outcomes connected with individual health (i.e. Burnout or physical health) and also outcomes connected with organizational health (commitment, accident propensity, turnover intention, and alike). The thesis also shows how important it is to identify various linkages and configurations between value congruence and outcomes while borrowing from the self-concept theory.

Full textThis dissertation aims to study the material culture - represented by the architecture and clothing - of societies that maintain or at some point had nomadic behaviors. The research deals with bodies that are in movement, marked by rites and exposed to extreme environmental conditions; Clothing and accessories made to measure and imbued with supernatural powers and dwellings aware of their ephemerality. Its general objective is to study the interrelationships that are established through ephemeral supports such as shelters and costumes. Speci?ically, it seeks to know the processes of production of the nomadic housing space; to seize and identify the process of designing, making and using garments; to perceive the importance of nomadic material culture manifestations for their identity and aesthetics and to look for constructive, visual and aesthetic similarities between nomadic garments and shelters. The dissertation is the result of the bibliographical review of the works of Bernard Rudofsky, Florencia Ferrari, Labelle Prussin, Mark Jarzombek, Mette Bovin, Paul Oliver, Robert Kroenenburg, Torvald Faegre among others; the case study of the Calon Gypsies and four other nomadic societies: Bedouin, Inuit, Tuareg and Wodaabes; visits to the Calon camps in São Paulo and Espírito Santo and interviews with the seamstress specialized in gypsy dresses. This work strengthens the conceptual and practical link between clothing and architecture through the parallel study of these two cultural manifestations. It ?inds that the nomadic clothing goes far beyond the need for protection and the desire for ornamentation, often being related to the cosmology or the myths and beliefs of these societies and reiterates the importance of rethinking the classic and scholarly conceptions of architecture.

O presente estudo, vinculado à Linha de Pesquisa ―Políticas Públicas, Organização Escolar e Formação de Professores‖, tem por objetivo analisar a cultura escolar festiva de nossas escolas, considerando que o estudo de aspectos simbólicos contidos nos ritos das festas comemorativas pode ajudar a conhecer elementos da identidade escolar e desvelar aspectos importantes da estrutura de uma escola pública laico-brasileira. As datas comemorativas da escola, as festas do calendário escolar, não se desvincularam do calendário litúrgico. Assim, perguntamos: quais os sentidos das festas comemorativas religiosas, em uma escola pública e laica? Para a consecução da pesquisa, procedemos a uma revisão bibliográfica, privilegiando a literatura sócio-antropológica sobre festa e religiosidade, passando pelos estudos sobre a organização da escola. Procedemos também ao trabalho empírico, fazendo uso de questionários e entrevistas, por intermédio do qual, à luz de nosso quadro teórico, procuramos analisar a perspectiva dos professores de uma escola pública do Estado do Paraná, Brasil, sobre religiosidade e festas comemorativas no cotidiano da escola. A partir dos dados bibliográficos e empíricos, podemos inferir que as festas comemorativas têm importância como elemento de coesão, identidade e religiosidade, no interior da escola, e que elas deixam transparecer as estruturas históricas e sociais que, longe de se apresentarem apenas como sobrevivência do passado no presente, são, na verdade, contemporâneas e estruturantes de nossa visão de mundo e do nosso ethos cultural
The current study linked to the 'State Policies, School Organization and Teachers Formation' Research Line aims to analyse the festive school culture in our schools since it is understood that the study of symbolical aspects contained in the rituals of celebration feasts can help to know elements of school identity and watch important aspects of the structure of a Laical-Brazilian state school. The school commemorative dates, the school calendar feasts haven't disconnected of the liturgical calendar. So, we ask: What are the reasons of the religious commemorative feasts in a state and laical school? For the attainment of the reasearch we conducted a bibliographical review privileging the socio-anthropological literature about feast and religiosity passing by the studies about the school organization. We also conducted the empirical work, using questionnaires and interviews by which under our theoretical board , we tried to analyse the teachers' perspectives of a state school in the State of Paraná, Brasil , about the religiosity and commemoratives feasts in school quotidian. Fom the bibliographical and empirical data on we were able to infer that the commemorative feasts have an importance as an element of cohesion , identity and religiosity in the interior of the school and they let reveal the historical and social structures that haven't not only presented as survival of the past in the present, they are in fact contemporaries and structural of our vision of world and our ethos cultural

Ce travail consiste en pr?senter la fa?on tel comme l'image du philosophe appara?t dans le pense? de Nietzsche sur sa s?rie Consid?rations Intempestives o? il esquisse un type d'homme proprement philosophique, ainsi comme il pr?sent en d?tails ce qu'il pense sur la philosophie et son r?le par rapport ? son temps, en articulant ces id?es de fa?on intrins?que avec un sens renouvel? sur la culture, qui joue un r?le important dans l'enseemble de son oeuvre. Sur cette base, nous nous proposons de penser comme une philosophie intempestive se rapporte ? l'histoire, en rempla?ant au premier plan ce que concerne au philosophe consid?r? le m?dicin de la culture. L'objectif ici est alors de penser quel est l'office du philosophe en temps de chaos
Trata-se de apresentar como a figura do fil?sofo aparece no pensamento de Nietzsche na s?rie Considera??es Intempestivas, na qual ele esbo?a um tipo de homem propriamente filos?fico, assim como apresenta em detalhes o que pensa sobre a filosofia e seu papel relativamente ? ?poca, articulando essas id?ias de modo intr?nseco com uma no??o renovada sobre a cultura, que desempenha um papel importante no conjunto de sua obra. Partindo disso, propomos pensar como uma filosofia intempestiva se relaciona com a hist?ria, colocando no primeiro plano o que cabe ao fil?sofo, considerado m?dico da cultura, relativamente ? ?poca e ? civiliza??o. O intuito, portanto, ? pensar a tarefa do fil?sofo nos tempos de caos como o que nos toca viver, pensando a um s? tempo, como a ?poca recebe a filosofia, e conseq?entemente, a maneira como a filosofia se relaciona com a ?poca

Full textO trabalho analisa se o jornalismo cultural praticado pelo caderno EU&Fim de Semana do jornal Valor Econômico, ao incorporar certos assuntos e fenômenos decorrentes da modernidade aos conteúdos com abordagem e mentalidade culturais e universalizadas, rompe o paradigma do Jornalismo Cultural tradicional alargando este conceito, até então restrito aos acontecimentos considerados tradicionais da área da cultura, como cinema, pintura, literatura, museu, dança, música, teatro, gastronomia e turismo. O corpus da pesquisa foi composto pelo assunto principal de capa de 32 edições e resultou na análise de 75 matérias. O referencial teórico utilizado é a sociologia da cultura de Pierre Bourdieu por meio da teoria dos campos, espaço social, habitus de classe e o desejo de distinção de uma elite cosmopolita. Contudo, não se constitui uma prática jornalística sem compromisso social. As análises quantitativa e qualitativa compõem a metodologia que identifica a presença de debates, de tensões e de conflitos, o conceito de Jornalismo Cultural, o caráter cosmopolita do jornalismo no início do século XXI, bem como os valores culturais adotados pelo caderno que abastecem o público com visão prismática para ler e reconhecer o mundo.(AU)

This dissertation covers the period from 1990-1999, the disk is used as a \"soundtrack\" that accompanies the cultural and social imaginary on the eve of the arrival of the new millennium. Accordingly, we place the artistic production of the group in the context of neoliberal ideas, in the process known as globalization and the rapid spread of the Internet and personal computer in everyday life. Changes that resulted in a radical transformation not only of cognitive systems, but of the media and forms of representation of meaning. With this we intend to analyze how the set of shared experiences, makes the subjectivity increasingly modulated by the imagery of technological progress and material, although also offering options for tactics and resistance in the voices that criticize these ways of life.

Full textThis doctoral dissertation aims at helping the understatement of cultural heritage (or patrimony) through the study of its representations (the way cultural history defines them) in a mass media. This works consists in the study of French television programs, aired form the early 1950s to the late 1990s. During this period, in France, television became the media with the biggest audience. Also, the notion of patrimony went through considerable changes, becoming a social phenomenon: and increasing number of French citizens, from all social backgrounds, became interested in heritage. First of all, this work is a study of a subject that was treated in a variety of genres, that became more and more visible over time, and its popularity rises both in and out of the medias. How did the producers and journalists defined patrimony and what did they intend to propose to the audience with it? This work ambitions to better understand the democratization of patrimony in the French society. Was television involved in any way in this change? This media, with its particularities, may have offered a different understanding of the notion, and the representations of patrimony on television may have affected le way viewers see it
