Dark side of calling across cultures: an empirical investigation
No full textopenThis thesis examines the complex interplay between career calling, workaholism, perceived exploitation, and turnover intentions across Italy (N=246) and Japan (N=151).
The primary objective is to determine whether approaching work as a calling moderates the effects of workaholism and perceived exploitation on turnover.
Building on a solid theoretical framework, this study introduces a model for the study of the bright and dark sides of calling across countries.
A cross-sectional design was employed, collecting data through surveys administered to employees in Italy and Japan.
We observed that career calling does not moderate any effects except for how perceived exploitation impacts turnover intention, and that the moderation effect is positive in Italy and negative in Japan. In Italy, a strong sense of career calling increases the likelihood of leaving an exploitative organization, as individuals seek environments where they can fully express their calling without exploitation. Conversely, in Japan, career calling significantly reduces employees’ propensity to leave an organization despite facing exploitation, suggesting a dangerous tendency to keep staying in challenging work conditions.
Our study highlights cross-cultural differences in individuals' experiences of calling and its impact on their work lives, underscoring the dual nature of career calling. On one hand, it acts as a protective mechanism, prompting individuals to leave stressful and exploitative environments. On the other hand, for some people in some situations, calling threaten employees’ well-being. This research contributes to a nuanced understanding of the dual facets of career calling and provides a framework for exploring how career calling manifests in scenarios involving workaholism, perceived exploitation, and turnover intentions. Additionally, our investigation into cultural diversity offers insights into the varying dynamics among these constructs across different cultural settings.This thesis examines the complex interplay between career calling, workaholism, perceived exploitation, and turnover intentions across Italy (N=246) and Japan (N=151).

Factores de riesgo ergonómico en funcionarios de la UNAD - CCAV Pasto
No full textEl presente trabajo de monografía se plantea como un estudio sobre los factores de riesgo ergonómico en los funcionarios de la UNAD CCAV Pasto al realizar sus actividades laborales. Partiendo desde las experiencias que han presentado muchas de las empresas, instituciones y demás entidades en el mundo y Colombia, se propuso una determinación de factores de riesgo ergonómico situados en el CCAV Pasto, desde una lectura de referentes documentales que contrastan con hallazgos propios de la autora en prácticas de determinación de riesgos ergonómicos in situ. Así las cosas, desde la postura del autor se espera dar cuenta de los riesgos prevalentes en el espacio de trabajo elegido, algunas medidas preventivas que permitan al trabajador el acceso a una mejor calidad laboral en su sitio de trabajo, así como el aporte de manera académica al mejoramiento del SG-SST de la UNAD.The present monograph work is presented as a study on the ergonomic risk factors in the employees of the UNAD CCAV Pasto when carrying out their work activities. Starting from the experiences that many of the companies, institutions and other entities in the world and Colombia have presented, a determination of ergonomic risk factors located in the CCAV Pasto was proposed, from a reading of documentary references that contrast with the findings of the author in practices of determination of ergonomic risks in situ. Thus, from the author's position, it is expected to account for the prevalent risks in the chosen workspace, some preventive measures that allow the worker access to a better quality of work in his workplace, as well as the contribution in an academic improvement of the SG-SST of the UNAD
Grandes y pequeños ganaderos trashumantes en las sierras sorianas en el tránsito de la Edad Media a la Moderna
No full textEditada en la Universidad Carlos IIISe trata de llamar la atención en e este artículo sobre el papel de primera fila que jugaron los grandes señores de ganados en la actividad ganadera trashumante en el ámbito que abarcaba la cuadrilla mesteña de Soria durante los siglos XV y XVI. Para ello se establecen comparaciones entre el tamaño de sus rebaños y los de otros medianos y pequeños propietarios de la región, teniendo en cuenta entre otros indicios las noticias sobre sus ventas de lanas. Al mismo tiempo se profundiza en su caracterización desde el punto de vista sociopolítico, matizando algunas hipótesis que se han venido manejando para definir la base social mesteña y su evolución a lo largo del siglo XVI. Y por fin se repasan algunos aspectos referentes a la gestión de las explotaciones ganaderas trashumantes, que revelan la presencia de numerosos factores que hacían más rentables a las grandes frente a las medianas y pequeñas.Big sheep owners played a key role in nomadic sheeprearing in the Spanish region around Soria during the XVth. and XVIth. centuries. By using the volume of wool sales, the author compares the size of their flocks with those of other middle and small owners in the region and analyzes the owner’s sociopolitical profile, in order to qualify traditional hypotheses about the social basis of the «Mesta» and its evolution during the XVIth. Century. Lastly, some aspects of the management of sheeprrearing enterprises are examined, and its factors identified. In particular, the analyses focus on those aspects of sheeprearing that made big enterprises more profitable than the small ones.Publicad
Idemtidad. An exploration of craft, digital fabrication & cultural identity. Case study PASTO : people from the land
No full textLAUREA MAGISTRALEIn Colombia, l'artigianato ricopre una funzione di cruciale importanza nel mantenimento e nella manifestazione dell'identità culturale. Per questo, risulta sempre più rilevante al giorno d'oggi, in quanto contribuisce a preservare diversi gruppi etnici in un clima di industrializzazione e globalizzazione. In questo progetto, l'autore propone l'utilizzo di tecnologie digitali di manifattura per esplorare, reinterpretare e trasmettere il messaggio di identità culturale che è presente nell'artigianato. Per questo scopo, è stato sviluppato un progetto in co-design in collaborazione con un artigiano di Pasto, in Colombia, con cui sono stati creati un 3DTeca e un prodotto finale, unendo la fabbricazione additiva e la pratica tradizionale dell’intarsio di paglia, con l’obbiettivo di stabilire una base e mostrare i benefici reciproci che nascono da questo territorio ibrido.In Colombia, Craftsmanship fulfills a crucial function in the preservation and manifestation of cultural identity.
