- The interactions of entrepreneurial attitudes, abilities and aspirations in the (twin) environmental and digital transitions? A dynamic panel data approachPublication . Ferreira, João J.; Fernandes, Cristina I.; Veiga, Pedro Mota; Caputo, AndreaGiven the challenges faced by companies and society in general in terms of mitigating the effects of climate change and digitalisation, fostering and supporting digital and sustainable entrepreneurship represents a fundamental goal. Our research seeks to study the impact of national entrepreneurship systems (NESs) on what is known as the twin transition. Through recourse to dynamic panel econometric techniques applied to various databases (Eurostat, FAO, GEM, UN, and World Bank), we were able to evaluate the effect of the entrepreneurial attitudes, abilities and aspirations, and components of NESs, on the twin transition (digital and environmental). Globally, our results stand out for the positive interactions established by the entrepreneurial attitudes, abilities and aspirations, as pillars of NESs, with the digital and environmental transitions. Furthermore, the level of national economic development returns a positive moderating effect on the relationship between the NES components and the twin transitions.
- Public attitudes towards parties in Portugal: a longitudinal overviewPublication . Teixeira, Conceição Pequito; Pereira, Paulo AlmeidaThis article reviews the case of the often claimed “crisis of parties” in Portugal, and argues that such controversy rests at least in part on “ambiguous” evidence. We will try to answer two fundamental research questions: 1) What motivates popular support for political parties (or lack thereof)? 2) Why does anti-party rhetoric resonate with some citizens, but not with others? The empirical data and statistical regression models used allow the following conclusion: in the eyes of Portuguese citizens, parties have become a kind of “necessary evil”, being criticized for “what they actually do” and supported for “what they are supposed to do”.
- How citizens view and evaluate political parties and why it matters?: The case of Portugal (1985-2009)Publication . Teixeira, Conceição Pequito; Pereira, Paulo AlmeidaThis article reviwes the case of the often-claimed "crisis of parties" in Portugal, and argues that such controversy rests partly on "ambiguous" evidence. Our two main objectives are: 1) finding out the nature and extension of public support (or lack thereof) of parties, determining what are the consequences of the lack of public support for parties in citizens’ pressure to reform democrtic institutions. Based on data of four National Public Opinion Surveys, we show that attitudes regarding parties comprehend two conceptually and empirically distinct dimensions: diffuse support and specific support. Afterwards we saw, how a strong criticism of parties' performance coexists in Portugal with strong citizen pressure over political actors compelling them to implement democratic reforms. Lastly, through logistical regression models, we can conclude that both lack of specific support ("critical antipartysism") and lack of diffuse support ("delegitimizing antipartysism") are strong preditors of Portuguese citizen´ reformist orientations and calls.
- Organizational support and reward systems as drivers of teleworker engagement: the mediating role of organizational trustPublication . Figueiredo, Elisabeth; Margaça, Clara; Sánchez-García, José Carlos; Pereira, Paulo AlmeidaThe adoption of telework has intensified the need to understand how organizational practices influence employee behaviors in contexts characterized by reduced face-to-face interaction. Based on Social Exchange Theory, this study examines the effects of perceived organizational support and reward systems on work engagement among teleworkers and explores the mediating role of organizational trust. A cross-sectional quantitative design was employed, using survey data collected from 405 teleworkers operating in Portugal. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling to test the proposed relationships. The results indicated that both perceived organizational support and reward systems exert statistically validated positive effects on work engagement, with reward systems being the strongest predictor. Organizational trust played a mediating role, reinforcing the impact of support and rewards on engagement. These results suggested that organizational practices function not only as instrumental resources but also as relational signals that shape trust and promote reciprocal employee responses in remote work contexts. By integrating support, rewards, trust, and engagement into a single analytical framework, this study contributed to the literature on telework and human resource management. The results reinforce the importance of management practices rooted in trust and support to promote engagement and organizational effectiveness in remote work environments.
- Exploring the microfoundations of innovation: what they are, where they come from and where they are going?Publication . Fernandes, Cristina I.; Hughes, Mathew (Mat); Ferreira, João; Veiga, Pedro Mota
Purpose: Microfoundations have received increasing attention in several management disciplines. This study aims to outline the uniqueness of microfoundations research in innovation, look at where it comes from and where it is going and provide rich opportunities for future work. Design/methodology/approach: To advance research in this area, this study conducted a systematic literature review combining mixed methods and creating a mapping framework to take stock of progress in the innovation microfoundations research field. Findings: This study shows how distinct subfields have formed around key ideas expressed in subsets of seminal articles, shedding light on the relational nature of knowledge creation – uncovering these subfields’ characteristics, evolution and future trajectories. Originality/value: This study develops a framework that reflects a critical analysis of the microfoundations of innovation within dos three research levels – individual, process and interaction and structure – and highlights the research gaps and potential research questions for future research that reflect the broad spectrum of approaches in the microfoundations of innovation literature.
- O bem dito, o mal dito e o não dito: as experiências de discriminação racial entre estudantes universitáriosPublication . Oliveira, Eliany; Lima, Gleisson; Vasconcelos, Maristela; Oliveira, Flávia; Cordeiro, João; Costa, Ana Beatryz; Pereira, Paulo; Almeida, PauloIntrodução: A discriminação racial é um fenômeno que está enraizado na sociedade, acontecendo em várias esferas, incluindo no âmbito universitário. Objetivo: Caracterizar as experiências de discriminação racial sofrida por estudantes universitários. Materiais e métodos: É um estudo de caráter exploratório, descritivo e transversal, com abordagem quantitativa realizado no período de setembro a dezembro de 2023 com a participação de 751 estudantes universitários de 5 instituições de ensino superior do estado do Ceará. O instrumento contemplava dados sociodemográficos e Escala de Experiências de Discriminação Racial. Resultados: Destaca-se nesse estudo que a maioria dos participantes são da raça parda, e foi a raça que mais declarou sofrer discriminação racial e são os alunos que mais aceitam o tratamento injusto racial como fato da vida. Discussões: O racismo histórico no Brasil atrasou a participação de negros e pardos nas universidades, que só começou a mudar significativamente com a Lei de Cotas de 2012. Apesar disso, as diferenças entre estudantes brancos e de cor persistem, e o racismo e discriminação que ocorrem no decorrer da graduação afeta negativamente na saúde mental desses estudantes. Conclusão: Vale ressaltar que é importante que a criação de um ambiente justo e igual para todos e que a luta racial pela igualdade e inclusão seja uma luta de todos.
- Financial literacy and determinants of personal insolvency in PortugalPublication . Ferreira, António José Mendes; Pereira, Paulo Jorge de Almeida; Ramos, CarlaThe objective of this study is to examine the relationship between sociodemographic variables, financial literacy levels and the sum of causes of insolvency (count of causes reported per respondent). The research adopted a quantitative approach, using a purpose-designed questionnaire based on the 3rd Financial Literacy Survey of the Portuguese Population, conducted by Banco de Portugal in 2020. The sample comprises 84 individuals declared insolvent, of whom 52.4% are women, 40.5% divorced or widowed, and nearly half (47.6%) aged between 40 and 54 years. Data were analysed using SPSS software. The results reveal that insolvency declarations are more likely among specific sociodemographic groups, such as women, divorced individuals, those with low educational attainment, and those on low incomes. The leading causes of insolvency were unemployment or loss of income (57.1%) and unexpected events (59.5%), followed by divorce (32.1%) and financial mismanagement (36.9%). The data indicate that respondents possess a relatively high level of financial knowledge and practice sound financial management, with over 80% reporting systematic control of expenses and timely bill payments, although only about half set long-term savings goals. Additionally, they are heavily influenced by bank counter staff (54.8%) and family members (63.1%) when selecting financial products. These findings underscore the need for measures to enhance financial literacy, particularly among young people and low-income individuals.
- A motivação dos colaboradores do setor bancário português em contexto do plano de reestruturaçãoPublication . Duarte, Francisca; Passos, Clotilde; Ribeiro, Célia; Pereira, PauloPortuguês, as instituições bancárias foram forçadas a ajustar os seus objetivos numa visão distinta do que era no passado, associado a um clima de adaptação por parte dos colaboradores. Para que exista adaptação à mudança, torna-se essencial a motivação no local de trabalho, pois um colaborador motivado consegue ser mais produtivo, eficiente e eficaz. Os objetivos que conduziram o presente estudo foram: identificar a motivação dos colaboradores do setor bancário português em contexto do Plano de Reestruturação, bem como, conhecer quais os fatores que mais influenciam a motivação dos colaboradores do Setor Bancário Português. A metodologia adotada foi de cariz quantitativo, descritivo e correlacional e a recolha de dados foi feita através de um questionário de Rego e Carvalho (2002) aplicado aos colaboradores da CGD. Os resultados permitiram concluir que os colaboradores da amostra em estudo (n=103) estão motivados, nomeadamente ao nível do “sucesso” e “afiliação”, quanto ao “poder”, o mesmo não se verifica, o que nos leva a concluir que o Plano de Reestruturação da CGD exerce influência na motivação dos seus colaboradores. Estes resultados evidenciam a importância de perceber a motivação dos colaboradores do Setor Bancário Português, complementam a informação existente, introduzem novos dados e deixam em aberto novas investigações sobre o tema.
- O coaching: a perspetiva do coach e do coacheePublication . Pereira, Ana Rita; Ribeiro, Célia; Pais, Mariana; Sobral, Sandrina; Correia, SofiaO coaching tem-se disseminado pelo mundo, sendo um processo bastante utilizado nas vertentes pessoal e organizacional/executiva, em prol da concretização de metas estabelecidas. Neste sentido, tendo em conta a importância deste tema e a escassa informação existente na literatura portuguesa sobre o mesmo, considerou-se pertinente o seu estudo. Com o objetivo perceber qual o impacto que o coach, no processo de coaching, tem nas vertentes profissionais e pessoais do coachee, adotou-se uma metodologia qualitativa, com recurso a 26 entrevistas - 13 coaches e 13 coachees. A análise de conteúdo das respostas corroborou o que está espelhado na literatura.
- University students and racial discrimination: an analysis based on family incomePublication . Oliveira, Eliany Nazaré; Silva, Vitoria Kethly Farrapo da; Almeida, Paulo Cesar de; Pereira, Paulo Jorge de Almeida; Vasconcelo, Maristela Ines Osawa; Lima, Gleisson FerreiraIntroduction: Racial discrimination is a complex problem that directly affects the experience of university students, impacting not only their academic performance, but also their mental health and well-being. Objective: To discuss the characteristics of racial discrimination and its interfaces with the family income of university students. Methodology: A descriptive, exploratory, cross-sectional study was conducted, with a sample of 751 university students from the state of Ceará, Brazil. The instruments used were a sociodemographic questionnaire and the discrimination experience scale. Results: Among the students, 36.9% had a family income of between 1 and 2 salaries. With regard to discrimination because of their race or color, those with an income of less than one minimum wage were the ones who experienced this the most, 39.9%. The place of occurrence with the highest exposure for those with an income of less than one minimum wage was school, 37.5%. Conclusion: The results suggest that there is a direct relationship between family income and racial discrimination: the lower the income, the greater the exposure to racial discrimination. There is an urgent need to implement strategies to protect and support those who experience racial discrimination.
