The intention to share: professionals’ knowledge sharing behaviors in online communities
No full textSince the 1990s, the rise of some online communities as well as the decline of others has caught the attention of academia as well as of practice. One assumption for the decline of some online communities is the lack of the rich knowledge content that is believed to be the source of competitiveness and sustainability of any online community. Online communities are increasingly acknowledging the value of knowledge and the knowledge sharing processes required for online communities to build and sustain their identity in this competitive and constantly changing online environment. This research aims to provide an understanding of knowledge sharing behavior through the adaptation of two major theories imported from Social Psychology: the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TpB). Exploring knowledge sharing from a social psychological perspective provides an understanding of the process an individual goes through to make the decision to share his/her knowledge with others as well as the different psychological factors facilitating or hindering knowledge sharing behavior. Research findings are based on a web-survey of 158 group members, and an observation of interactions of eight active groups in one online community of professional educators. Proposing an extended theoretical model of knowledge sharing behavior in an online community, this research found that normative pressures, including subjective norms and descriptive norms, had a strong influence on the formation of the individual’s intention to share in the online community. Knowledge sharing self-efficacy also was found to significantly account for explaining the individual’s motivation to share his/her knowledge with other members. Attitude and controllability were not found to have significant impacts on the formation of intention. The qualitative analysis of the interactions of members of eight active groups revealed that there were other implicit factors that motivated individuals to engage in online activities. The observation of 24 online sessions had generated beliefs related to knowledge sharing behavior. Those beliefs were related to normative beliefs and the pressure created by the expectations of others, control beliefs and the confidence of the individual’s ability to behave, and finally, behavioral beliefs and individual outcome expectations.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Bibi M.

The other half of the story : the interaction between indigenous and translated literature for children in Italy
No full textThis thesis shows to what extent the study of Italian children's
literature can benefit from an attentive analysis of the parallel
corpus of translated works and of the interaction between the
two. The first chapter argues that ignoring translated literature
means we are telling only half of the story, since translations
have had a strong impact not only on the development, but also
on the formation of Italian literature for children. The second
chapter disputes the assumed internationalism which suggests
children's classics can cross linguistic and cultural boundaries
'naturally', employing research tools offered by Translation
Studies: the mechanisms of transfer which can be observed
when classics for children move from one culture into another
reveal the many changes and adaptations that these books
have undergone in order to be accepted in the target cultures,
and also their transformation over time within their own source
cultures. The third chapter explores links between translation,
women's writing and children's literature by looking at the work
of a limited number of significant Italian women translators of
children's literature, whose contribution to Italian literature is
still largely ignored. The historical period of Fascism provides a
context for the observation of norms applying to literature for
children in the fourth chapter. The idea that children would be
much more ideologically pliable than adults led the regime to
try to impose on children's books a set of norms conforming to
its political aims. Following a broadly chronological line brings
us, in the last chapter, to look at the way in which the
penetration of innovative literary models and ideas through
translation greatly influenced the development of indigenous children's literature in post-war Italy, as well as at the impact of
globalisation from the 1980s onwards, both on Italian
production and on imported children’s books, their distribution
and reception

Uncovering Innovativeness in Spanish Tourism Firms: The Role of Transformational Leadership, OCB, Firm Size, and Age
No full textInnovativeness in the tourism and hospitality sector is essential for competitiveness and survival. Leadership plays a key role in promoting (or hampering) firm innovativeness. This article intended to examine the role of transformational leadership (TL) and organization citizenship behavior (OCB) on Spanish tourism firms’ innovativeness (OI). It also investigated whether firm size and age moderate the relationship between TL, OI, and OCB. The cross-sectional survey method was used to collect data from 329 middle-level managers in Spanish tourism firms. The findings of the data revealed that TL and OCB have significant impacts on firm innovativeness; also, OCB mediates the relationship between TL and firm innovativeness. Firm size and age moderate the relationship between TL and firm innovativeness; also, firm size moderates the relationship between TL and OCB. It was found that large firms were more innovative than small ones; also, younger firms showed a higher level of innovativeness than old firms. Managerial and specific firm size and age implications were provided
Escritos en la pandemia
No full textSe podría realizar el contrapunto histórico entre Escritos en la pandemia de María Eugenia Boito y El Tercer Reich de los sueños de Charlotte Beradt a partir de un detalle: la espacialización del inconsciente. En los sueños que compila la periodista alemana la profunda transformación de la vida colectiva se traslada a la escena onírica. En un entorno que se experimenta de manera cada vez más amenazante, y corroe los endebles puntos de apoyo de la subjetividad, los sueños no sólo presentan en forma fantasmática tales cambios, sino que los expresan en contundentes imágenes.Fil: Boito, Maria Eugenia.

Gênero em revista: imagens modernas de homens e mulheres na revista O Cruzeiro do segundo pós-guerra
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em HistóriaO trabalho pretende analisar durante o segundo pós-guerra - de 1946 a 1955 - a constituição de sujeitos modernos através das imagens feminina e masculina publicadas na revista O Cruzeiro. Tais imagens projetam corpos específicos de homens e mulheres dentro de determinadas relações, configurando e redimensionando hábitos e atitudes públicas. Os corpos mostrados nas revistas ora liberam atitudes, ora cristalizam relações entre os sexos e, assim, vão modificando não apenas a maneira de ver o outro e a si próprio, mas prescrevendo a possibilidade de mudança nas relações amorosas e sociais. As imagens parecem ser portadoras de um devir específico: o desejo de ser moderno parece ser o fio que percorre o pós-guerra nacional. A modernidade aqui mencionada não é a mesma do século XIX, pois é marcada pelos bens de consumo norte-americanos, expressos dentro da política do American Way of Life efetivada culturalmente em vários níveis principalmente nas décadas de 1940 e 50. este consumismo modernizador de espaços e costumes promove através das revistas ilustradas um arsenal de imagens sedutoras que buscam ampliar espaços de atuação para principalmente a mulher moderna. Sugestões, portanto, não faltaram para que a mulher moderna estivesse preparada para as mudanças a que o mundo sofria. No entanto, estas mudanças operam mais no sentido de reforçar estereótipos de traços ditos "femininos" do que o fato de trabalhar fora poderia representar - o risco de uma possível masculinização. O trabalho era sugerido, mas em determinados espaços e incumbências
