- Coach-athletes communication: data from the communication behaviors evaluation systemPublication . Gomes, A. Rui; Almeida, Albino; Resende, Rui; Morais, CatarinaEste estudo analisa a comunicação entre treinadores e atletas, utilizando o Sistema de Avaliação de Comportamentos de Comunicação (SACC). Este sistema proporciona uma perspetiva ampla das interações entre treinadores e atletas, considerando a perspetiva de ambos e de observadores. Os comportamentos foram avaliados através do Questionário de Comportamentos Comunicacionais (QCC), versão para treinador, atletas e observador. O estudo incluiu 64 atletas de futsal masculino, com idades entre 13 e 43 anos (M = 18.98, DP = 7.05) e os seus treinadores, do sexo masculino, com idades entre 29 e 43 anos (M = 35.75, DP = 5.26). Os resultados revelaram seis aspetos: (1) o CBQ assumiu uma estrutura de dois fatores (comportamentos positivos e negativos), mas um item foi suprimido; (2) os treinadores assumiram comportamentos positivos com mais frequência do que comportamentos negativos; (3) os comportamentos espontâneos positivos foram ligeiramente mais frequentes do que os comportamentos reativos positivos; (4) os treinadores avaliaram-se como apresentando mais comportamentos reativos negativos do que comportamentos espontâneos negativos; (5) feedback positivo e incentivo após insucesso foram os comportamentos positivos mais frequentes; (6) feedback negativo foi o comportamento negativo mais frequente. O SACC assumiu-se como uma ferramenta útil para avaliar a comunicação entre treinadores e atletas.
- Liderança no voleibol: relação entre filosofia, prática e indicadores de liderançaPublication . Alves, João; Morais, Catarina; Gomes, Rui; Simães, ClaraEste estudo teve como principais objetivos (a) aferir a perceção de atletas e respetivos treinadores face à capacidade dos treinadores explicitarem a sua filosofia de liderança e de a colocarem em prática no dia-a-dia, bem como de a avaliar, (b) testar a premissa de quando os atletas percecionam que os treinadores são congruentes na sua liderança (isto é, têm uma relação linear entre a sua filosofia, prática e indicadores de liderança), apresentam maior eficácia na sua liderança, medida neste estudo através da satisfação dos atletas com o treinador e da sua perceção de rendimento desportivo. Foram inquiridos 157 atletas de voleibol e respetivos treinadores (n = 14). Os resultados mostram que atletas e treinadores têm uma perceção semelhante sobre a necessidade de os treinadores explicitarem de forma mais evidente a sua filosofia de liderança, os seus planos de ação e os indicadores de avaliação. Concluiu-se ainda que, de acordo com o Modelo da Eficácia da Liderança, a congruência dos ciclos de liderança está associada a níveis mais elevados de satisfação com os treinadores e perceção de rendimento desportivo coletivo.
- Protective factors in the use of electronic media according to youth and their parents: an exploratory studyPublication . Campos, Luísa; Veríssimo, Lurdes; Nobre, Bárbara; Morais, Catarina; Dias, PedroThe use of electronic media (EM) by youths has been widely described in the literature, indicating the relevance of understanding the factors that can protect against its risks. We aimed to explore the protective role of participating in extracurricular activities (ECAs) and of parental mediation in the use of EM by young people. A total of 1413 people (729 students, aged between 11 and 17 years old, and one of their parents) participated in this study. Youths who engaged in ECAs spent significantly less time per week on EM and perceived that the use of EM devices had less of a negative impact. When parents and their children presented a congruent notion of how much time youth spent on EM, parents perceived EM to have less of a negative impact on their children compared to dyads with discrepant assessments. The hierarchical regression results indicated that regardless of time spent per week on EM, engaging in ECAs was a significant predictor of perceiving a less negative impact, playing a role as a protective factor regarding the use of EM. The ubiquity of EM reinforces the importance of the focus of this study, and its results contribute to creating specific guidelines for parental education and educational policies.
- Impact of COVID-19 on undergraduate business students: a longitudinal study on academic motivation, engagement and attachment to universityPublication . Pasion, Rita; Dias-Oliveira, Eva; Camacho, Ana; Morais, Catarina; Franco, Raquel CamposPurpose – This study aims to explore whether the COVID-19-related circumstances hindered these academic-related variables. Design Methodology Approach – The authors surveyed two groups of undergraduate business students (42% male) who completed the questionnaires at the beginning and at the end of the semester. One group of students attended only face-to-face classes in the 2018/2019 academic year (n = 126) and the other group transitioned to online classes because of the COVID-19 outbreak in the 2019/2020 academic year (n = 99). Findings – The findings show no statistically significant group differences between the pre- and post-test in students’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, feelings of attachment to the university and engagement dimensions of absorption and vigour. Nevertheless, a moderate negative effect was found in the dedication engagement dimension. Practical Implications – The authors discuss the main results in terms of some practices that may contribute towards attenuating the effects of future emerging pandemics in the higher education setting. Originality Value – The COVID-19 pandemic imposed a rapid transition to online instruction in education institutions worldwide. However, it remains unclear to date how students’ engagement, motivation and attachment to the university were negatively affected by the first COVID-19 outbreak.
- The role of organizational structure and deviant status in employees’ reactions to and acceptance of workplace deviancePublication . Moon, Chanki; Morais, Catarina; Moura, Georgina Randsley de; Uskul, Ayse K.Purpose–This study aims to examine the role of deviant status (lower vs higher rank) and organizational structure (vertical vs horizontal) on individuals’ responses to workplace deviance. Design/methodology/approach–Two studies (N= 472) were designed to examine the role of deviant status and organizational structure in responses to workplace deviance. Study 1 (N= 272) manipulated deviant status and organizational structure. Study 2 (N= 200) also manipulated deviant status but focused on participants’ subjective evaluations of the organizational structure of their workplace. Findings–Study 1 found that participants reported lower job satisfaction and organizational commitment, and higher turnover intentions when they imagined being confronted with deviant behaviors displayed by a manager (vs by a subordinate), regardless of the type of organizational structure. Study 2 extended this finding by showing that the indirect effect of organizational structure (vertical vs horizontal) on turnover intention via job satisfaction and organizational commitment was moderated by deviant status: when the deviant’s status was higher, working in a vertical (vs horizontal) organization was associated with decreased job satisfaction and commitment, which, in turn, was associated with a higher level of turnover intentions. Originality/value–The findings broaden our understanding of how individuals respond to deviance at the workplace, by simultaneously considering the effects of organizational structure (vertical vs horizontal) and deviant status (upward vs downward directions of deviance).
