Diversidade e inclusão: um estudo sobre gênero em uma indústria farmacêutica
Get PDFA diversidade apresenta um papel cada vez mais importante nas organizações, ora por motivos de justiça social, ou por se ter maior eficiência e efetividade organizacional. No entanto, ter um quadro de funcionários diverso demograficamente não significa que seus membros sintam-se incluídos no ambiente de trabalho. O objetivo desse estudo foi investigar a relação entre a experiência de inclusão e o comportamento inclusivo do grupo de trabalho, do indivíduo e de políticas e práticas organizacionais de mulheres de uma indústria farmacêutica. A pesquisa foi realizada pelo método quantitativo através de questionário com 60 questões. Obteve-se um total de 330 respondentes válidos. Os resultados indicam que a experiência de inclusão está mais positivamente associada ao comportamento de inclusão do grupo de trabalho, seguido pelo comportamento de inclusão individual e depois o organizacional. Além disso, para as mulheres, o comportamento de inclusão gera menor experiência de inclusão do que para os homens, e o fato de mulheres trabalharem em grupos de trabalho diversos em gênero não está positivamente associado ao comportamento e à experiência de inclusão das mesmas.The diversity plays an increasingly important role within organizations, sometimes due to social justice reasons, or for reaching greater organizational efficiency and effectiveness. However, having a demographically and heterogeneous staff does not mean necessarily that its components feel included in the work environment. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the experience of inclusion and the working group, individual and organizational policies and practicies inclusive behavior, of women working in a pharmaceutical industry. The research was carried out according to a quantitative method with 60 questions. It was reached a total of 330 valid respondents. The results show the inclusion experience is more positively related to the working group inclusion behavior, followed by the individual inclusion behavior and then the organization ones. Furthermore, for women, the behavior of inclusion generates less experience of inclusion than for men, and the fact that women work in various working groups on gender is not positively associated to the behavior and the experience to include them
A INFLUÊNCIA DA FORÇA DE TRABALHO DIVERSA NO DESENVOLVIMENTO DE INOVAÇÕES SOCIAIS EM EMPREENDIMENTOS SOCIAIS
Get PDFA literatura de diversidade defende que grupos considerados diversos em ambientes organizacionais contribuem para que as organizações tenham mais sucesso em seus negócios. Essa correlação já foi estudada por diversos autores que corroboram com o mesmo achado, entretanto, essas pesquisas foram realizadas em organizações tradicionais, isto é, em organizações cujo principal objetivo era o negócio, e não contemplavam objetivos sociais. Pretende-se dessa forma, entender como os empreendimentos sociais, ao utilizar uma força de trabalho diversa pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento de soluções socialmente inovadoras que fazem parte de sua missão. Para tanto, foram entrevistados 12 trabalhadores (diversos e não diversos) de 12 empreendimentos sociais. Utilizou como método de análise a Análise do Discurso. Os resultados indicam que há uma percepção positiva no que tange o trabalhador diverso no desenvolvimento de inovações sociais tanto por parte desses trabalhadores, quanto por parte daqueles não diversos
Diversity and innovation: a study on diversity management practices and the relationship with perception of performance in innovation
No full textO objetivo principal desse estudo é identificar se há relações entre as práticas da gestão de diversidade e a percepção de desempenho em inovação, sob a moderação de três variáveis: o tamanho da empresa, a origem do capital e o setor em 133 empresas brasileiras. Há suporte que justifica a relação entre a diversidade e a inovação, no que diz respeito à composição demográfica organizacional (Yang, & Konrad, 2011), mas não há consenso e nem estudos empíricos quantitativos sobre as práticas de gestão da diversidade e a percepção de desempenho em inovação. Os resultados identificaram que as práticas de gestão da diversidade influenciam positivamente e explicam em 45% a percepção de desempenho em inovação. Porém, algumas práticas possuem maior influência do que outras, como os grupos de suporte e a integração. Ainda, a pesquisa identificou que o tamanho da empresa, o setor e a origem do capital são variáveis que moderam essa relação de influência das práticas de gestão da diversidade e a percepção de desempenho em inovação. Além disso, a moderação é mais forte em empresas de médio e pequeno porte do que as de grande porte, é mais forte no setor da indústria do que no setor de serviços e nas empresas de capital misto e privado é mais forte do que nas estatais.The objective of this study is to identify whether there is a relationship between the diversity management practices and the performance perception in innovation, under the moderation of three variables: the size of the company, the source of capital and the sector in 133 Brazilian companies. There are supports that justify the relationship between diversity and innovation with respect to organizational demographic composition (Yang, & Konrad, 2011), but there is no consensus and no quantitative empirical studies on the diversity management practices and perception of performance in innovation. The results identified that the practices of diversity management explain in 45% and influence positively the perception of performance in innovation, being that, some practices have greater influence than others, such as support groups and integration. Moreover, the research identified that the size of the company, the sector and the origin of capital are variables that moderate this relationship of influence of the diversity management practices and the perception of performance in innovation. Yet, moderation is stronger in medium- to small-sized firms than in large ones, it is stronger in the industry than in the services sector and in mixed and private equity firms stronger than in state-owned enterprises
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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 PDFWe 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
