e article analyses the relationship established between the executive and legislative powers in the Cape Verdean government system where researchers seek to understand it, taking into account their theoretical and constitutional setting practice. It should be noted the prominence of the debate and studies undertaken to understand how the scienti c academy seeks to eradicate this problem. Two issues are relevant in this debate: the rst reporting to the theoretical and constitutional con guration of Cape Verdean government system and the other to its policy and legislative practice. Keywords: Cape Verde. Semi-presidential System. Systems of Government. Legislative and Executive Powers.

Contribuição dos factores motivacionais para a satisfação no trabalho

A motivação é vista, desde meados do Século XX, como o principal factor de satisfação no trabalho, de aumento da produtividade e de melhoria da qualidade dos produtos e serviços. Na conclusão de um curso conducente ao Mestrado em Gestão Global, interessou-nos abordar o valor humano da organização, cujo componente importante é o nível de satisfação das pessoas no trabalho, obtido da avaliação a um leque de variáveis independentes, relacionadas com duas coisas – o conteúdo do trabalho e o contexto do trabalho. O objectivo da presente dissertação é identificar em que medida as variáveis do meio envolvente do trabalho contribui para a satisfação no trabalho. Inspirados na Teoria dos dois Factores (Herzberg, 1959 e 1982) e na Teoria da Avaliação Cognitiva (Deci, 1971), pretendemos justapor a satisfação das pessoas à diferentes variáveis particulares que formam dois subsistemas – o intrínseco ou motivador, que inclui a aprendizagem, as emoções, o trabalho em si, a realização e o reconhecimento; e o extrínseco ou higiénico, que inclui o salário, a supervisão e as condições físicas. Além de uma incursão à literatura especializada, realizamos dois inquéritos em empresas cabo-verdianas, um em Outubro de 2003 e outro em Outubro de 2007, que nos permitiram determinar índices específicos e gerais de satisfação no trabalho, fazer correlações e análises comparativas. Concluímos que as pessoas estão razoavelmente satisfeitas no trabalho, dão mais ênfase aos factores do conteúdo que aos factores do contexto do trabalho, mas a fonte de satisfação varia de categoria por categoria. Work motivation is viewed, since middle of the 20th Century, as a main factor of job satisfaction, also for increasing of productivity and quality of goods and services. By the ending of a Master’s Programme in Global Management, we was moved by a great interest to research and report about the organization human values, important component of which is the people’s satisfaction level in work conditions, obtained through an evaluation of a great number of independent variables, related to two items – work content and work context. The main objective of the present dissertation is to identify in which measure the job environmental variables contribute to work satisfaction. Inspired into the Two Factors Theory (Herzberg, 1959, 1982) and into The Cognitive Evaluation Theory (Deci, 1971), we intent to relate people satisfaction to different particular variables, which perform two subsystems – intrinsic or motivator, that includes learning, emotions, work itself, achievement and recognition and; extrinsic or hygienic, that includes salary, supervision and work physical conditions. Besides a specialized literature review, we took up two separated inquiries within capeverdian companies, the first conducted in October, 2003, and the second in October, 2007, which allowed specifics and general job satisfaction indexes, correlations and comparative analysis. We concluded that people are fair satisfied on job, and give more emphasis on work content factors, than on work context factors, but the source of satisfaction is different category by category.

Cape Verdean Creole of São Vicente: Its genesis and Structure

Although the Santiago variety of Cape Verdean Creole (CVC) has been the subject of numerous linguistic works, the second major variety of the language, i.e. the São Vicente variety of CVC (CVSV), has hardly been described. Nevertheless this lack of studies and given its striking differences, on all linguistic levels, from the variety of Santiago (CVST), the implicit explanation for such divergences, echoed for decades in the literature on CVC, has been the presumably decreolized character of CVSV. First, this study provides a comprehensive fieldwork-based synchronic description of CVSV major morpho-syntactic categories in the intent to document the variety. Second, it aims to place the study of CVSV within a broader scope of contact linguistics in the quest to explain its structure. Based on analyses of historical documents and studies, it reconstructs the sociohistorical scenario of the emergence and development of CVSV in the period of 1797- 1975. From the comparison of the current structures of CVSV and CVST, the examination of linguistic data in historical texts and the analysis of sociohistorical facts it becomes clear that the contemporary structure of CVSV stems from the contact-induced changes that occurred during the intensive language and dialect contact on the island of São Vicente in the early days of its settlement in the late 18th and ensuing early 19th century development, rather than from modern day pressure of Portuguese. Although this dissertation argues for multiple explanations rather than a single theory, by showing that processes such as languages shift among the first Portuguese settlers, L2 acquisition, migration of the Barlavento speakers and subsequent dialect leveling as well as language borrowing at a later stage were at stake, it demonstrates the usefulness of partial-restructuring model proposed by Holm (2004).

O Sistema Semi-Presidencialista Cabo-verdiano: A Relação entre os Poderes Executivo e Legislativo

O artigo procura analisar a relação que se estabelece entre o poder executivo e legislativo no sistema de governo cabo-verdiano, onde Investigadores buscam compreendê-lo, tendo em conta a sua configuração prática, teórica e constitucional. Há que realçar a proeminência do debate e dos estudos realizados no sentido de compreender como é que a academia científica procura debelar esta problemática. Duas questões são pertinentes neste debate: a primeira refere-se à configuração teórico-constitucional do sistema de governo cabo-verdiano e a outra à prática política e legislativa.
