Повний текст джерелаThis mini-thesis makes an argument for the significance of a female-dominated hidden tradition of experimental ethnographic writing in British social anthropology. It argues that the women anthropologists who experimented with creative forms of ethnography were doubly marginalised: first as women in an androcentric male canon in British social anthropology and American cultural anthropology, and second as creative writers whose work has been consistently undervalued in sombre scholarly circles. The study proposes that Hilda Beemer Kuper (1911-1995) and Edith Turner (1921-2016) should be regarded as significant in a still unexcavated literary tradition or subgenre with Anglo-American anthropology.

Повний текст джерелаThis research aims to study the effects of dynamic interactional between individual and organizational values system on how firms operate in a context of cultural diversity. It comes to identify the cultural values of managers working in multinational subsidiaries operating in Tunisia and their congruence with organizational styles. Our interest is particularly on dimensions related to organizational culture and climate and their contributions in the deployment of organizational citizenship behaviors. The results highlight an organizational integrator style reflecting congruence between the values of managers and values of the organization. The analysis of the behavior and attitudes of managers identified organizational styles might encourage citizenship behavior. The correlational analysis shows that the organizational climate is a good predictor of citizenship behavior

Повний текст джерелаEnrolments at the postgraduate coursework (PGCW) level are expanding both in terms of number and diversity, with Masters programs attracting increasing numbers of students from a widening range of backgrounds. Despite this, however, the individual differences literature largely fails to address learning at this educational level, or the issue of potential cultural variation. This study therefore profiled the epistemic, metacognitive and affective attributes of PGCW students at Australian universities, to profile the cohort’s disposition towards learning. An online survey measured attributes chosen to represent three dispositional domains: epistemic, metacognitive and affective. Results showed the PGCW cohort to be elite overall, but significant variation existed between both individuals and groups. Cluster analysis revealed three groups of participants that differed dispositionally, demographically and in terms of academic achievement. The dispositional profiles of the three clusters showed a clear two-part pattern of agentic and epistemic attributes. This was replicated in factor analysis, which identified two dispositional factors: agentic engagement and epistemic engagement. Of these, epistemic engagement best predicted achievement, with agentic engagement a necessary but insufficient condition for academic success. Cross-cultural comparison found that international students tended to hold less adaptive dispositional profiles, and achieved lower grades. This suggests that learners’ dispositions develop adaptively within a specific cultural context, and may not translate effectively to new contexts. This is the first study to describe the dispositional profile of a PGCW population, and the first to propose the two underlying dispositional dimensions of agentic and epistemic engagement. Although dispositional profiles varied significantly between learners from different cultural backgrounds, the two dimensions were cross-culturally consistent, supporting the idea of a culturally universal model of dispositional learning. The greater importance of epistemic engagement in this model suggests that epistemic attributes underpin successful metacognition at this level. Effective teaching should therefore address epistemic expectations explicitly, and this is particularly important for students from different cultural contexts.

This study examines the relationship between cultural intelligence and psychological capital, the role of cultural intelligence and psychological capital on the salience of study engagement, and subsequently explore the correlation between study engagement and its outcomes comprising academic satisfaction and well-being. Ninety and three foreign students who are currently studying in Taiwan Universities participated in the research. Using regression analysis for a causal model, the results show that: (1) cultural intelligence is positively related to psychological capital; (2) psychological capital is positively related to study engagement; (3) cultural intelligence is positively related to psychological capital, which in turn positively predict study engagement; (4) study engagement is positively related academic satisfaction. The results underscore the importance of the researches which guide the meaning of cultural intelligence concept and psychological capital, various indicators of personal resource on predicting study-related be-haviors as well as subsequent outcome such as academic satisfaction. The important findings lift the application of cultural intelligence concept and gradually pool the cross-cultural researcher`s party and enrich our knowledge of engagement concept which have precise meaning not only on common-work related researches but also uncommon-work study-related researches.

The purposes of this study were to examine the relationships between elementary school teacher perceived ethnical diversification and work engagement, to understand the moderator of cross-cultural sensitivity in the relationship between ethnical diversification and work engagement, and to compare demographic differences of elementary school teachers on those three variables. This study used the questionnaire method. The subjects were elementary school teachers in Taoyuan City. A total of 366 questionnaires were issued, 345 were retrieved and 332 were effective. After statistical analysis, the results of this study were as follows: 1. The level of work engagement and cross-cultural sensitivity of elementary school teachers were both on average. 2. The variables -“frequency of reading multicultural materials” and “experience of traveling abroad”- showed significant differences among elementary school teachers’ cross-cultural sensitivity. 3. The elementary teacher perceived ethnical diversification had significant negative effect on work engagement. 4. Cross-cultural sensitivity had a moderating effect in the relationship between ethnical diversification and work engagement. Finally, based on the research results, suggestions are made for further studies and practical management of school authorities.

Повний текст джерелаA presente dissertação tem como objetivo compreender e medir o impacto dos valores culturais e influência na relação entre o consumidor e as marcas nas redes sociais. Primeiramente foi realizada uma análise netnográfica com objetivo de avaliar as interações entre a marca selecionada - a marca de luxo Kérastase - e a respectiva comunidade na rede social Facebook, em quatro países diferentes, durante um período de tempo definido. A recolha de conteúdos incidiu no processo de netnografia, que ocorreu nas comunidades online das marca definida e permitiu compilar um total de 1.547 interações. As interações dos membros da comunidade Kérastase foram analisadas considerando as publicações de janeiro de 2016 a agosto de 2018. Os resultados do estudo revelaram que de uma forma geral os consumidores Kérastase apresentaram um nível semelhante de envolvimento e apresentaram um comportamento similar. Notavelmente, todos os consumidores mostraram estar familiarizados com o conteúdo partilhado pela marca, o que revela uma boa estratégia de marketing digital. Este estudo mostra também que os consumidores estão claramente interessados em receber conteúdo da marca e partilhar esse mesmo conteúdo. Por outro lado, os comentários menos positivos estavam relacionados com algumas questões mais operacionais do país específico (um novo canal de e-commerce, falta de produto, etc). Os resultados apresentados mostram que as empresas que usam o Facebook devem aumentar o nível de envolvimento com os seus consumidores (1) através de estratégias de conteúdo, (2) partilha de informação relevante relacionada com a marca e (3) construir uma Base de Dados dos consumidores que mais interagem com a marca de forma a criar um Clube restrito, onde se encaixam os melhores clientes e um programa de afiliados. O presente estudo apresenta algumas limitações uma vez que se baseia numa amostra de consumidores não muito extensa, tendo em conta que teve como análise alguns países e foi utilizada numa rede social. Para além disso, este estudo não considerou uma avaliação longitudinal. Assim e reconhecendo as limitações referidas, os próximos desenvolvimentos na área deverão aproveitar estas lacunas.
(11191980), Brittany J. Wright. "Training Health Service Psychologists for International Engagement: Perspectives for Training Programs." Thesis, 2021.
Знайти повний текст джерелаAs psychologists continue to engage the growing diversity within the United States and around the world, there is an imperative need for psychological services that are specific to cultural needs and integrate relevant sociohistorical and community factors. Currently, ethnocentrism in psychological interventions, research, and graduate training limit psychologists’ international engagement and perpetuate a focus on U.S. psychology. For graduate programs in health service psychology (i.e., clinical, school, and counseling psychology), there is a dearth of literature on their methods of preparation of health service professionals engaging in psychological work outside of the U.S. However, graduate training programs have opportunities to intervene on the field’s colonialism by preparing professionals to effectively engage internationally. Addressing ethnocentrism in training is a critical next step for the field of health service psychology.
This dissertation is comprised of two distinct chapters that are conceptually related. In the first chapter, I review health service psychology’s current international engagement. As psychologists engage outside of the United States, the field of psychology and the training community must critically examine the applicability of psychological interventions, research, and graduate education to international contexts. I propose six recommendations for training programs to deconstruct colonialism and enhance preparation of graduates for competent work outside of the U.S.
In the second chapter, I report an original, empirical study, using qualitative descriptive methodology, which critically examines how U.S. training prepares graduates to work internationally. Through semi-structured interviews, I explored internationally based psychologists’ reflections on their training experiences and preparation for their current roles in teaching, practice, research, consultation and policy, and psychological infrastructure. Data analysis utilized consensual qualitative research methodology (CQR). Results provided valuable information regarding psychologists’ professional roles outside of the U.S., factors contributing to their vocational experiences, country-specific mental health attitudes, values, and practices, the impact of U.S.-centric psychology in the country of location, lessons taken from their graduate training, and recommendations for international work. Findings provided recommendations to the training community to incorporate more of an international focus and enhance preparation of students for work outside of the U.S.

Повний текст джерелаConducted in low socio-economic environments, this study looks at student engagement among third cycle elementary pupils (5th and 6th grade in Québec) in the context of the pedagogical use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) at school. The goal of this multiple case study was to analyze the engagement of those students using ICTs at school. Thereby we have attempted to describe ten teachers’ pedagogical ICT integration practices, to report the quality of engagement of their 230 students during ICT tasks, and to measure the evolution and quality of their engagement in accordance with the school’s socio-economic status. A cross-cultural exploratory validation of a psychometric questionnaire was therefore carried out. This essentially interpretive and descriptive research employed a mixed methodology of data collection and analysis. This research notes that the concerned teachers granted an important pedagogical value to the use of ICTs varying in the frequency of their use, those uses most valued, and in the manner in which they are integrated in class. They largely privilege word processing and Internet research, yet few other significant uses are steadily applied. The majority preferred using four in-class computers for easier use of ICTs, rather than only having access to the school laboratory. Furthermore, they unanimously perceive that the use of ICTs has an important influence on their students’ emotional dimension during planned activities, a moderate influence on their behavioral dimension, and a more disputable influence on their cognitive dimension. More globally, the students themselves display a relatively high academic engagement. In six months, the quality of their emotional engagement remained stable, the behavioral aspect was on the rise, but the cognitive engagement declined. The results also demonstrate that those students from underprivileged environments displayed a different evolution in the quality of their engagement in accordance with their school’s level of income. This research therefore demonstrates the importance the use of ICTs has on the quality of engagement during ICT tasks, the latter often proving to be better than in other types of learning tasks. Without being able to generalize, this study also allows one to greater grasp how student engagement is qualified and evolves for pupils at the end of elementary school in underprivileged settings. Recommendations for the setting and paths for future research are presented taking into account the limits and strengths of this doctoral thesis presented by articles.

Повний текст джерелаThis study explored the lived experiences of family case managers who routinely work with families who are culturally different from themselves. The purpose was to understand and interpret the meaning of culture and cultural difference as it relates to the engagement process with families. The research also sought to understand whether cultural insensitivity or bias may contribute to the overrepresentation of children of color in the child welfare system. The author conducted 10 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with graduates of a large, research-intensive Midwestern university’s Title-IV-E Social Work Program, who also were employed as family case managers in public child welfare. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis and the analytic process of the hermeneutic circle. Results suggest the concept of culture is a complex term that encompasses many characteristics and a number of dimensions. In addition, four themes were identified as underlying the engagement process with culturally different families. These themes routinely overlapped, and family case managers often had to attend to each of the thematic areas simultaneously. At nearly every step in the engagement process, family case managers modulated their interactions in order to find balance and stability in their relationship with the family. Finally, poverty was revealed to be the most salient cultural difference in working with families involved in the child welfare system. These results have important implications for social work education, child welfare practice, and research on the overrepresentation of children of color in the child welfare system.

Повний текст джерелаA presente dissertação apresenta a investigação realizada com o objetivo de estudar as relações entre Trabalho Digno (TD), Motivação para o trabalho e Capital Psicológico em trabalhadores do conhecimento portugueses e brasileiros. Nos estudos aqui realizados, o TD é entendido como um trabalho (e um contexto laboral) que possibilita ao profissional exercer uma atividade realizante e produtiva; com perspetivas de desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional; na qual percebe que são tomadas decisões justas e equitativas; onde é tratado com respeito e aceitação; tem liberdade de expressão; recebe uma remuneração que permite viver com autonomia e dignidade; está socialmente protegido; e são respeitadas as condições de saúde e segurança, com adequadas distribuição do tempo e carga de trabalho (ILO, 1999; Ferraro, Pais, Dos Santos & Moreira, 2016). A Motivação para o trabalho é aqui estudada na perspetiva da Teoria da Auto-determinação. Esta abordagem assume a Motivação para o trabalho como um conceito multidimensional, no qual diferentes tipos de motivação podem ser incentivados ou inibidos, num continuum entre a amotivação e a motivação intrínseca (Gagné & Deci, 2005; Gagné et al, 2015). Por fim, a consideração conjunta de quatro estados psicológicos positivos (auto-eficácia, esperança, otimismo e resiliência) configura a perspetiva por nós adotada no que concerne ao Capital Psicológico dos trabalhadores (Luthans, Youssef-Morgan & Avolio, 2015). Para uma melhor compreensão das relações entre as variáveis estudadas foram desenvolvidos estudos teóricos e empíricos. Os referidos estudos originaram dois artigos teórico-conceptuais já publicados, um artigo referente a um dos estudos empíricos já aceite para publicação e três outros artigos, relativos aos demais estudos empíricos, já submetidos a revistas da especialidade. A apresentação dos diversos estudos é o elemento base orientador da estrutura de redação do trabalho que começa com a introdução geral, exposta no capítulo 1. A tarefa de perspetivar o constructo de ‘Trabalho Digno’ ao longo do seu percurso histórico consubstancia o capítulo 2 que integra o primeiro estudo teórico-conceptual. Este permite compreender o longo caminho recheado de acontecimentos históricos e recomendações legais que estiveram na origem deste conceito e que são determinantes da sua pertinência e atualidade. Estas tangibilizam-se num conjunto de implicações para a gestão das organizações igualmente referido neste capítulo. Importantes aspetos conceptuais do Trabalho Digno, elementos constituintes do segundo estudo teórico-conceptual realizado, são evidenciados e discutidos no capítulo 3: a responsabilidade de múltiplos stakeholders para a sua promoção; as diferenças culturais que podem interferir na expressão do Trabalho Digno; o seu aspeto dinâmico, evoluindo em decorrência dos avanços científicos; e a relevância da interdependência global para que seja possível atingir o Trabalho Digno plenamente. Os estudos conceptuais referidos fundamentaram o passo seguinte: a operacionalização do conceito que viabilizou a construção e validação do questionário de Trabalho Digno (em inglês: Decent Work Questionnaire, DWQ), apresentadas no capítulo 4 e que traduz o trabalho realizado no primeiro estudo empírico. A validação do DWQ envolveu 1675 participantes, 636 na amostra portuguesa e 1039 na amostra brasileira. Na sua primeira versão, o DWQ era constituído por 72 itens que foram submetidos a análises fatoriais exploratória e confirmatória, conduzindo a uma versão final mais parcimoniosa de 31 itens. Foram identificados sete fatores, correspondentes a sete subscalas, e um escore global de DW. A validade convergente e a validade discriminante foram avaliadas, assim como a invariância da medida nas duas amostras (Portugal e Brasil). No capítulo 5 é apresentado o segundo estudo empírico, referente às relações entre o Trabalho Digno e a Motivação para o Trabalho, analisadas através de correlações canónicas, e entre o Trabalho Digno e o PsyCap, através de regressão linear. Na recolha de dados, para além do DWQ, foram utilizados a Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale (MWMS), desenvolvida com base na Teoria da Auto-determinação (Gagné et al, 2015), e o PsyCap Questionnaire (PCQ) (Luthans, Youssef & Avolio, 2007), para mensuração, respectivamente, da Motivação para o trabalho e do Capital Psicológico. A amostra deste estudo é constituída por 2912 participantes (1327 portugueses; 1585 brasileiros) e os resultados indicam que o TD pode ter um importante papel como preditor da Motivação para o trabalho e do Capital Psicológico. Neste sentido, foram identificadas duas funções canónicas significativas que associam o Trabalho Digno à promoção das motivações mais autónomas e à prevenção da amotivação, assim como permitiram a identificação dos fatores de Trabalho Digno que mais se relacionam com o desenvolvimento do PsyCap. O terceiro estudo empírico, apresentado no capítulo 6, evidencia a relação do Trabalho Digno com a Motivação para o trabalho, o Engajamento no trabalho e o Burnout num grupo específico de trabalhadores do conhecimento (TC), os médicos. Na recolha de dados, envolvendo 605 participantes, recorreu-se ao DWQ, à Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES; Schaufeli, Salanova, González-Romá & Bakker, 2002) e à subescala de Personal Burnout do Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI; Kristensen, Borritz, Villadsen & Christensen, 2005). Recorrendo à análise de correlações canónicas, foram encontrados três mecanismos em funcionamento na amostra dos médicos portugueses (n=300) e dois mecanismos na amostra dos médicos brasileiros (n=305). Uma vez mais, os resultados sugerem que o Trabalho Digno tem um papel relevante na promoção das motivações para o trabalho mais autónomas e na diminuição da amotivação; tendo ainda um papel importante na promoção do Engajamento no trabalho e na prevenção do Burnout. A percepção dos médicos do seu próprio trabalho como sendo realizante e produtivo parece ter um papel de destaque nos efeitos observados nas duas amostras. O capítulo 7 apresenta o quarto estudo empírico desenvolvido e é relativo ao teste de um modelo estrutural das relações entre o Trabalho Digno, a Motivação para o trabalho e o PsyCap. A amostra deste estudo é constituída por 3004 participantes, tendo a amostra portuguesa 1353 participantes e a brasileira 1651. Os instrumentos utilizados na recolha de dados foram o DWQ, a MWMS e o PCQ, já anteriormente referenciados. Os resultados mostram um modelo ajustado, com o Trabalho Digno como preditor das motivações para o trabalho de natureza mais autónoma e inibidor da amotivação, contando com o PsyCap como mediador parcial das relações que se estabelecem com as motivações mais autónomas e, apenas na amostra portuguesa, com a regulação externa. Na amostra brasileira, apenas a presença do PsyCap como mediador torna significativa a interação do Trabalho Digno com a Regulação Externa, destacando-se o seu papel nesta mediação completa. No capítulo 8 sistematizam-se e discutem-se os principais resultados, explicitam-se as limitações dos estudos realizados e apresentam-se as implicações deles decorrentes para a gestão das organizações em geral e a relativa aos recursos humanos em particular. Por fim, são apresentadas as considerações finais e as perspetivas de desenvolvimento da investigação neste domínio. Os resultados alcançados nos estudos, teóricos e empíricos, realizados representam um contributo original e inovador. Este contributo expressa-se, antes de mais, pela possibilidade de mensurar o Trabalho Digno por recurso a um instrumento validado que considera o nível individual de análise. Por seu intermédio, acede-se às perceções dos trabalhadores/profissionais quanto ao trabalho que realizam e ao contexto profissional em que este é realizado. Trata-se de algo tão mais relevante quanto a mensuração do Trabalho Digno tem ocorrido, exclusivamente, através de labour surveys, census ou monitorização das condições de trabalho por recurso a indicadores económicos e de enquadramento legal focados num nível macro de análise. Adicionalmente, o contributo dado expressa-se pelos resultados obtidos nos diversos estudos empíricos que fizeram emergir o trabalho realizante e produtivo como fator do TD com particular relevância nas amostras estudadas. O papel do TD como promotor da Motivação para o trabalho e do PsyCap é outro resultado a destacar e que configura, igualmente, um contributo relevante. O desenvolvimento futuro dos estudos sobre Trabalho Digno numa perspetiva da Psicologia das Organizações, do Trabalho e dos Recursos Humanos poderá constituir um importante contributo numa lógica de melhoria da qualidade de vida no trabalho, do bem-estar dos diversos profissionais e consequentemente da sua performance.
This dissertation presents the research carried out aiming to study relationships between Decent Work (DW), Work Motivation and Psychological Capital in Portuguese and Brazilian knowledge workers. In the studies made here, DW is understood as work (and a work context) that lets the professional perform a fulfilling and productive activity; with prospects for personal and professional development; in which they perceive fair and equitable decisions are made; where they are treated with respect and acceptance; having freedom of expression; receiving remuneration that lets them live with autonomy and dignity; with social protection; and respect for health and safety conditions, with appropriate distribution of working time and workload (ILO, 1999; Ferraro, Pais, Dos Santos & Moreira, 2016). Work motivation is studied here from the perspective of Self-Determination Theory. This approach assumes Work motivation as a multidimensional concept, in which different types of motivation can be encouraged or inhibited, along a continuum between amotivation and intrinsic motivation (Gagné & Deci, 2005; Gagné et al, 2015). Finally, joint consideration of four positive psychological states (self-efficacy, hope, optimism and resilience) forms the perspective we adopt concerning workers’ Psychological Capital (Luthans, Youssef-Morgan & Avolio, 2015). For better comprehension of relationships between the variables studied, theoretical and empirical studies were developed. Those studies originated two theoretical-conceptual articles already published, one article referring to one of the empirical studies already accepted for publication and three other articles related to the other empirical studies, already submitted to specialized journals. Presentation of the various studies is the basic element orienting the structure of the written work which begins with the general introduction, appearing in Chapter 1. The task of following the construct of ‘Decent Work’ throughout its historical development forms Chapter 2 including the first theoretical-conceptual study. This allows understanding of the long path marked by many historical events and legal recommendations that were at the origin of this concept and are determinants of its relevance and topicality. These form a number of implications for organizations’ management, also referred to in this chapter. Important conceptual aspects of Decent Work, elements included in the second theoretical-conceptual study carried out, are shown and discussed in Chapter 3: the responsibility of multiple stakeholders for its promotion; the cultural difference that can interfere in the expression of Decent Work; its dynamic aspect, evolving alongside scientific advances; and the relevance of global interdependence in making Decent Work fully achievable. The conceptual studies mentioned were the basis of the next step: operationalization of the concept, which made it possible to construct and validate the Decent Work Questionnaire (DWQ), presented in Chapter 4 and representing the work carried out in the first empirical study. Validation of the DWQ involved 1675 participants, 636 in the Portuguese sample and 1039 in the Brazilian one. In its first version, the DWQ was made up of 72 items which were subject to exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, leading to a shorter final version of 31 items. Seven factors were identified, corresponding to seven sub-scales, and a global DW score. Convergent validity and discriminant validity were assessed, as well as invariance of the measure in both samples (Portugal and Brazil). Chapter 5 presents the second empirical study, referring to relationships between Decent Work and Work Motivation, analysed through canonical correlations, and between Decent Work and PsyCap, through linear regression. In data-collection, besides the DWQ, the Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale (MWMS), developed based on Self-Determination Theory (Gagné et al, 2015), and the PsyCap Questionnaire (PCQ) (Luthans, Youssef & Avolio, 2007) were used to measure, respectively, Work Motivation and Psychological Capital. The sample of this study is made up of 2912 participants (1327 Portuguese; 1585 Brazilian) and the results indicate that DW can have an important role as a predictor of Work motivation and Psychological Capital. In this connection, two significant canonical functions were identified associating Decent Work with promotion of more autonomous motivations and prevention of amotivation, also identifying the factors of Decent Work most related to development of PsyCap. The third empirical study, presented in Chapter 6, shows the relationship between Decent Work and Work motivation, Work engagement and Burnout in a specific group of knowledge workers (KW), physicians. In data-collection, involving 605 participants, the DWQ, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES; Schaufeli, Salanova, González-Romá & Bakker, 2002) and the Personal Burnout sub-scale of the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI; Kristensen, Borritz, Villadsen & Christensen, 2005) were used. Through analysis of canonical correlations, three mechanisms were found in the sample of Portuguese doctors (n=300) and two mechanisms in the sample of Brazilian doctors (n=305). Once again, the results suggest that Decent Work has a relevant role in promoting more autonomous work motivations and in reducing amotivation; also having an important role in promoting work engagement and prevention of burnout. Doctors’ perception of their own work as being fulfilling and productive seems to have a prominent role in the effects observed in both samples. Chapter 7 presents the fourth empirical study developed and relates to the test of a structural model of relationships between Decent Work, Work Motivation and PsyCap. The sample of this study is formed of 3004 participants, the Portuguese sample having 1353 participants and the Brazilian one 1651. The instruments used in data-collection were the DWQ, the MWMS and the PCQ, as mentioned above. The results show an adjusted model, with Decent Work as a predictor of Work motivations of a more autonomous nature and inhibiting amotivation, with PsyCap as a partial mediator of the relationships formed with more autonomous motivations and, only in the Portuguese sample, with external regulation. In the Brazilian sample, only the presence of PsyCap as a mediator makes the interaction between Decent Work and External Regulation significant, its role in this full mediation standing out. Chapter 8 systemizes and discusses the main results, describes the limitations of the studies carried out and presents the resultant implications for organizational management in general and human resources in particular. In concluding, final considerations and perspectives for research development in this domain are presented. The results obtained in the theoretical and empirical studies represent an original and innovative contribution. This contribution is expressed, first of all, by the possibility of measuring Decent Work using a validated instrument that considers the individual level of analysis. It gives access to the perceptions of workers/professionals regarding the work they do and the professional context in which it is performed. This is extremely relevant given that measurement of Decent Work has resorted exclusively, through labour surveys, censuses or monitoring of working conditions, to economic indicators and legal frameworks focused on a macro-level of analysis. Furthermore, the contribution made is expressed in the results obtained in the various empirical studies which highlighted fulfilling and productive work as a particularly relevant factor of DW in the samples studied. The role of DW as a promoter of work motivation and PsyCap is another result to highlight, also representing a relevant contribution. Future development of studies on Decent Work from a perspective of Work, Organizational and Personnel Psychology can be an important contribution with a view to improving the quality of working life, the well-being of diverse professionals and consequently their performance.

Повний текст джерелаEsta dissertação explora a relação entre cultura e marketing de redes sociais. São analisadas as diferenças entre o comportamento do consumidor nas redes sociais. As dimensões culturais de Hofstede são utilizadas para prever as diferenças entre culturas. Os dados foram recolhidos organicamente de 6750 publicações de 225 diferentes marcas de páginas de Facebook e de 15 países diferentes. Os dados recolhidos incluíram as métricas de engajamento, como número de gostos, partilhas, comentários e as várias versões dos gostos, como: adoro, wow, riso, ira, triste. Para o conhecimento do autor, este é o primeiro estudo que usa dados orgânicos do mundo real para analisar as diferenças entre culturas nas redes sociais. Resultados descritivos são exibidos através de gráficos e, em seguida, a significância estatística é medida através de regressões lineares. Foram encontradas diferenças interessantes que poderiam ser explicadas pelas dimensões de Hofstede. Uma delas é que os países com baixo individualismo e/ou alto em distância ao poder, fazem mais partilha de publicações em vez de comentários. Além disso, o uso de reações como riso e wow parecem estar relacionadas com pontuações mais altas em individualismo. Estas descobertas têm implicações teóricas e práticas. Alguns académicos postulam que as culturas estão a convergir e as dimensões culturais estão a tornarse obsoletas, graças às novas plataformas comunicação como as redes sociais (Sobol, Cleveland, & Laroche, 2018). Os resultados desta dissertação indicam que as dimensões de Hofstede ainda podem ser poderosos indicadores de alguns padrões de comportamento do consumidor, mesmo no Facebook. Os gerentes podem adotar mais campanhas de marketing virais em países onde as publicações são mais partilhadas e usar os convites para identificar amigos em países opostos. Além disso, eles podem tornar-se mais conscientes das diferenças culturais no uso das reações emocionais que podem influenciar mais o seu sucesso e atender de acordo com essas expectativas.
