    Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia e Gestão do Conhecimento, Florianópolis, 2020.A retenção de pessoas consiste na capacidade da organização manter em seu quadro funcional aqueles profissionais que agregam valor para ela e que contribuem para o alcance dos seus objetivos estratégicos. Poucos estudos têm sido realizados para compreender os determinantes da retenção de profissionais de TI no Brasil. No contexto público nacional não foram identificados estudos sobre o tema. O objetivo desta tese foi examinar as relações entre os determinantes e a retenção de profissionais de TI em organizações públicas em Santa Catarina. Foram coletados dados sobre a retenção de profissionais de tecnologia da informação com vínculo de trabalho direto com organizações públicas localizadas no estado catarinense, ou seja, para esta pesquisa não foram considerados os profissionais de TI terceirizados das organizações pesquisadas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa mista com estratégia explanatória sequencial, composta por etapas: (1) coleta e análise de dados quantitativos e (2) coleta e análise de dados qualitativos. Os resultados das duas etapas foram analisados conjuntamente. Os dados quantitativos foram coletados por meio de survey e, posteriormente, analisados a partir da aplicação de testes estatísticos. Os dados qualitativos foram coletados por meio de entrevista com dez dos profissionais de TI que participaram da etapa quantitativa da pesquisa. Esses dados foram tratados e analisados por meio da técnica de análise temática. A partir das evidências encontradas neste estudo, constatou-se que a satisfação (elemento atitudinal) dos profissionais de TI pesquisados é influenciada por fatores (burnout e percepção de oportunidades de aprendizagem) mensurados por meio de escala de percepção. Essa atitude influenciou positivamente a intenção dos profissionais de permanecer e negativamente a sua intenção de sair das organizações públicas pesquisadas. Além da satisfação, determinantes individuais, ocupacionais, organizacionais e outros também influenciaram a formação das intenções dos profissionais. A formação das intenções implica na ação efetiva dos profissionais de permanecer nas organizações investigadas, o que contribui para que as mesmas consigam retê-los por mais tempo nelas. Por fim, as evidências demonstraram que o processo de formação da intenção dos profissionais de permanecer ou sair das organizações públicas pesquisadas envolve aspectos com alto impacto na vida dos mesmos. A permanência nas organizações públicas pesquisadas consiste em um comportamento que os profissionais de TI demonstraram não possuir controle total. A partir dessas evidências é proposta uma agenda de estudos futuros a fim de aprofundar os achados referentes à retenção de pessoas no contexto público e seus determinantes.Abstract: People retention is the ability of the organization to maintain in its staff those professionals that add value to it and contribute to the achievement of its strategic objectives. Few studies have been conducted to understand the determinants of IT professional retention in Brazil. In the national public context, no studies on the subject were identified. The objective of this thesis was to examine the relationships between determinants and retention of information technology (IT) professionals in public organizations in Santa Catarina. Data were collected on the retention of information technology professionals with direct employment with public organizations located in the state of Santa Catarina, which indicates that for this research were not considered the outsourced IT professionals of the organizations surveyed. This is a mixed research with sequential explanatory strategy, which has two stages: (1) collection and analysis of quantitative data and (2) collection and analysis of qualitative data. The results of these two research stages were analyzed together. Quantitative data were collected through the survey technique and analyzed through nonparametric statistical tests. Qualitative data were collected through interviews with ten of the IT professionals who participated in the first (quantitative) stage of the research. These collected data were treated and analyzed using the thematic analysis technique. The evidence found that the satisfaction (attitudinal element) of the IT professionals is influenced by factors (burnout and learning opportunities perceived) measured using the perception scale. This attitude positively influenced the professionals' intention to stay and negatively influenced their intention to leave the researched public organizations. In addition to satisfaction, individual, occupational, organizational and other determinants also influenced the formation of professionals' intentions. The formation of intentions implies the effective action of professionals to remain in the investigated organizations, which contributes to the professionals? retention. Finally, the evidence showed that the process of forming the professionals? intention to stay or leave the public organizations involves aspects with a high impact on their lives. The permanence in the public organizations surveyed is a behavior that the IT professionals do not have total control. From this evidence, an agenda of future studies is proposed to deepen the findings regarding the retention of people in the public context and its determinant

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
