The Role of HRM for Innovation
No full textInnovation is fundamental to organization performance and survival in a continuously changing and
highly competitive world. In organizations, innovation occurs primary and foremost through purposeful
and discretionary actions of knowledgeable and motivated individuals. However, despite some insightful
studies, studies addressing the role of HRM in promoting innovation are in short supply. An enabling
work environment—resources, motivation, and management practices—may be crucial for creativity
and thus innovation. HRM policies and interventions have the potential to promote trust, cooperation,
and collective codes and language. Therefore, the aim of this chapter is twofold: 1) to review the role
of creativity and knowledge sharing for innovation and 2) to review the role of HRM for stimulating
innovation through creativity and knowledge sharing. In so doing, the authors seek to shed light on the
conceptual and analytical connections between motivation, creativity, knowledge, innovation, and HRM.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Association Between Perceived and Actual Motor Competence in Portuguese Children
Get PDFThe aim of this study was to examine the relationship between actual (AMC) and perceived (PMC) motor competence in Portuguese children. A total of 200 children (111 [0.55%] girls) aged 5–9 years old participated in the study. The Pictorial Scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence (PMSC) and the Test of
Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD2) were used to assess PMC and AMC, respectively. Mann-Whiney U was used to test the differences between sexes and age groups. The association between TGMD2 and PMSC scores was analyzed through Spearman correlation. Boys and girls of all ages showed to have high
PMC. Independent of sex, mean values for each TGMD2 subtest increased throughout the age groups with older children having significantly higher mean scores than younger ones. In general, boys and girls showed similar PMC and AMC, independent of age. Weak to moderate and some negative correlations
(0.24 < r < −0.40) were found between PMC and AMC scores for all age and sex groups. In conclusion, there appears to be little relationship between actual and perceived motor competence in Portuguese young children.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
European electricity utilities managing energy transition challenges. Environment, Development and Sustainability
No full textEnergy transitions are a complex technological-economic and social process. Currently, this involves the impact that innovation in technology and information as well as social practices can have on the way the energy is used. Therefore, business becomes much more complex and risky. In the particular case of the European Union, recent years were also marked by multiple changes at the political, economic, social and environmental context. Changes are already in course posing new challenges to European Electricity Utilities. The question that arises is how these subjects impact the structure, consolidation and governance of the electricity utilities and which drivers have the greatest impact on the speeding up the change. It is also our aim to understand how companies are responding to transition challenges in order to ensure the sustainability of their activities and their healthy stay in the market. In this article we present an insight of this issue through the analysis of thirteen indicators on the seven largest European energy utilities. Results allowed comprising the effects of the different economic and financial contexts on the variables under study.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Is Psychological Value a Missing Building Block in Societal Sustainability?
No full textValue creation is a constitutive and defining aspect in organizational ventures. This is unsurprising, as it is required for organizational survival and sustainability. Approaches based on the creation of economic, social and ecological value draw attention to the multiple and multiplicative nature of value creation. While academia still acknowledges the conceptual value of such approaches, a framework that add a psychological dimension to the established Elkington’s triple-bottom line model seems particularly refreshing and inspiring. Relying on the concepts of psychological value and sustainability, this paper presents the outcomes of an exploratory empirical study involving managers and users/customers of four organizations in the social sector in Portugal. This study discusses how managers and users/customers of these organizations make sense of and value
psychological value. The outcomes of the interviews with both managers and users/customers shed
light into the unexplored, hazy and neglected analytical links that may exist between psychological
value and broader perspectives on sustainability. We conclude that this novel approach enhances our
understanding about the impact that a social product can have in societal sustainabilityinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
