Motivação para o serviço público e comportamentos de cidadania organizacional: o efeito mediador do comprometimento organizacional
No full textDissertação de Mestrado em Administração PúblicaA motivação para o serviço público foi um conceito que surgiu como resposta à teoria da
escolha racional. A literatura em Administração Pública indicava que indivíduos que buscavam carreira no serviço público possuíam características diferentes dos outros indivíduos membros da sociedade. Com o início das pesquisas na década 90 nos EUA, o constructo foi sendo internacionalizado e foram feitos novos estudos relacionando a motivação para o serviço público com outros conceitos como os comportamentos de cidadania organizacional e o comprometimento organizacional. No Brasil ainda se trata de um tema pouco explorado.
Buscando contribuir com a literatura internacional e com o desenvolvimento de pesquisas sobre esta temática no Brasil, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo geral estimar e analisar a relação de influência entre motivação para o serviço público e comportamentos de cidadania organizacional e verificar se esta relação é mediada pelo comprometimento organizacional.
Foi um estudo hipotético-dedutivo de natureza quantitativa, no qual foi utilizado um
questionário com três escalas para medir motivação para o serviço público, comportamentos de cidadania organizacional e comprometimento organizacional. Os resultados indicaram influência positiva da motivação para o serviço público sobre os comportamentos de cidadania organizacional e sobre o comprometimento organizacional. Foi também demonstrada influência positiva do comprometimento organizacional afetivo sobre os comportamentos de cidadania organizacional. E por fim, os resultados permitiram também aferir que o comprometimento organizacional afetivo medeia parcialmente a relação entre motivação para o serviço público e comportamentos de cidadania organizacional. Na conclusão são discutidas as implicações teóricas e práticas bem como sugestões para estudos futuros acerca do tema.The concept of public service motivation emerged in response to the rational choice theory, research indicated that individuals seeking a career in the public service had different characteristics from other individuals. The first studies took place in the US in the 90s, then it became internationalized and researchers started approaching the relation of public service motivation with other constructs such as organizational citizenship behaviours and organizational commitment. In Brazil, there are a few studies on this topic. To contribute to the international literature and the development of research in Brazil, this study aimed to estimate and analyse the influence of public service motivation on organizational citizenship behaviours and if this relationship is mediated by organizational commitment. It was a hypothetical-deductive study with a quantitative approach. It was applied a questionnaire with three scales to measure public service motivation, organizational citizenship behaviours and organizational commitment. The results indicated a positive influence of public service motivation on organizational citizenship behaviours and on organizational commitment.
Positive influence of affective commitment on organizational citizenship behaviours was also demonstrated. And finally, the results also made it possible to assess that affective
commitment partially mediates the relationship between public service motivation and
organizational citizenship behaviours. The theoretical and practical implications as well as suggestions for future studies are discussed in the conclusion.N/

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe 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
