Liderança empoderadora e empoderamento psicológico: Uma pesquisa empírica usando análise comparativa qualitativa fuzzy-set
No full textDissertação de Mestrado em Psicologia do Trabalho, das Organizações e dos Recursos Humanos apresentada à Faculdade de Psicologia e de Ciências da EducaçãoEste estudo tem como objetivo identificar condições necessárias e suficientes em termos de dimensões de liderança empoderadora (EL) para que um determinado resultado ocorra em termos de dimensões de empoderamento psicológico (EP). As dimensões da EL analisadas são liderar pelo exemplo, treinar, informar, mostrar preocupação/interagir com a equipe e tomar decisões participativas. As dimensões do EP consideradas foram significado, competência, autodeterminação e impacto. A análise comparativa qualitativa fuzzy-set (fsQCA) é usada para identificar e avaliar essas condições necessárias e suficientes que se aplicam apenas em subgrupos da amostra total. Para aprofundar a compreensão da relação entre os dois construtos, foram identificados diferentes mecanismos psicológicos. Na amostra de N=109 (65 mulheres), os resultados da análise global e de gênero revelaram diferenças importantes. Para condições necessárias, a análise global apresentou resultados significativos apenas para a dimensão competência. A análise de gênero mostrou diferenças para mulheres e homens: os resultados para a competência apareceram para ambos, mas os resultados para o significado, autodeterminação e impacto ocorreram apenas para os homens. Para condições suficientes, a análise global apresentou resultados em todas as dimensões de EP. A análise de gênero mostrou que os resultados para as dimensões significado, competência e autodeterminação apareceram para ambos os sexos, porém, os resultados para a dimensão impacto emergiram apenas para os homens. Para as combinações mais importantes de condições suficientes, essa dimensão promoveu EP apenas para homens e não para mulheres. Analisando as diferenças de idade para análise global e de gênero, as condições necessárias e suficientes mostraram resultados nas dimensões competência e impacto. Em geral, os resultados mostram o quão importante é considerar os diferentes processos psicológicos que levam ao empoderamento psicológico.This study aims to identify necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of empowering leadership(EL)dimensions for a given outcome to occur in terms of psychological empowerment (PE) dimensions. EL's dimensions were leading by example, coaching, informing, showing concern/interacting with the team and participative decision-making. PE’s dimensions considered were meaning, competence, self-determination, and impact. Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) is used to identify and evaluate these necessary and sufficient conditions that apply only in subgroups of the total sample. To deepen the understanding of the relationship between both constructs, different psychological mechanisms were identified. In the sample of N= 109 (65 females), the results of the global and gender analysis revealed important differences. For necessary conditions, the global analysis presented results just for the outcome competence. Gender analysis showed differences for women and men: the results for the outcome competence appeared for both, but the results for the outcome meaning, self-determination and impact occurred just for men. For sufficient conditions, the global analysis presented results in all outcomes. Gender analysis showed that the outcomes meaning, competence and self-determination appeared for both genders, however, results for the outcome impact emerged just for men. For the most important combinations of sufficient conditions, this dimension promoted PE just for men and not for women. Analyzing age differences for global and gender analysis, both necessary and sufficient conditions showed results on the outcomes competence and impact. In general, the results show how important it is to consider the different psychological processes leading to psychological empowerment
Psychological maturity: Subjectivity, desire and autonomy
No full textMaster´s thesis , presented at ISPA – University Institute of Psychological, Social and Life Sciences to obtain a Master's degree in the specialty of Clinical Psychology.The first comprehensive integrated model of personality development by Sidney Blatt stipulates that self-definition and relatedness are concepts that influence personality and psychological development. Contemporary authors, such as Jorge Forbes, bring insights into Lacan's theory discussing the individual of the 21st century. This comparative study links theories of both authors with new insights in the development of a theoretical model of psychological maturity. Psychological development occurs throughout a lifetime, and carries out important subjective processes. The hypotheses show that discovering one's desire and subjectivity is not enough to reach psychological maturity. Otherwise, individual autonomy is a necessary condition to achieve psychological maturity. Psychological well-being defended as a diffuse well-being is reached through psychological maturity if mediated by subjective responsibility
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
