A confiança interorganizacional nas compras

This research is part of the field of organizational studies, focusing on organizational purchase behavior and, specifically, trust interorganizational at the purchases. This topic is current and relevant by addressing the development of good relations between buyer-supplier that increases the exchange of information, increases the length of relationship, reduces the hierarchical controls and improves performance. Furthermore, although there is a vast literature on trust, the scientific work that deal specifically at the trust interorganizational still need further research to synthesize and validate the variables that generate this phenomenon. In this sense, this investigation is to explain the antecedents of trust interorganizational by the relationship between the variable operational performance, organizational characteristics, shared values and interpersonal relationships on purchases by manufacturing industries, in order to develop a robust literature, most consensual, that includes the current sociological and economic, considering the effect of interpersonal relationships in this phenomenon. This proposal is configured in a new vision of the antecedents of interorganizational trust, described as significant quantitative from models Morgan and Hunt (1994), Doney and Cannon (1997), Zhao and Cavusgil (2006) and Nyaga, Whipple, Lynch (2011), as well as qualitative analysis of Tacconi et al. (2011). With regard to methodological aspects, the study assumes the form of a descriptive, survey type, and causal trace theoretical and empirical. As for his nature, the investigation, explicative character, has developed a quantitative approach with the use of exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modeling SEM, with the use of IBM software SPSS Amos 18.0, using the method of maximum verisimilitude, and supported by technical bootstraping. The unit of analysis was the buyer-supplier relationship, in which the object under investigation was the supplier organization in view of the purchasing company. 237 valid questionnaires were collected among key informants, using a simple random sampling developed in manufacturing industries (SIC 10-33), located in the city of Natal and in the region of Natal. The first results of descriptive analysis demonstrate the phenomenon of interorganizational trust, in which purchasing firms believe, feel secure about the supplier. This demonstration showed high levels of intensity, predominantly among the vendors that supply the company with materials that are used directly in the production process. The exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, performed on each variable alone, generated a set of observable and unobservable variables more consistent, giving rise to a model, that needed to be further specified. This again specify model consists of trajectories was positive, with a good fit, with a composite reliability and variance extracted satisfactory, and demonstrates convergent and discriminant validity, in which the factor loadings are significant and strong explanatory power. Given the findings that reinforce the model again specify data, suggesting a high probability that this model may be more suited for the study population, the results support the explanation that interorganizational trust depends on purchases directly from interpersonal relationships, sharing value and operating performance and indirectly of personal relationships, social networks, organizational characteristics, physical and relational aspect of performance. It is concluded that this trust can be explained by a set of interactions between these three determinants, where the focus is on interpersonal relationships, with the largest path coefficient for the factor under study

Contra as Secas: a engenharia e as origens de um planejamento regional no nordeste brasileiro

Droughts surfaced in 1877 as a crucial problem for the birthing Brazilian nation. Engineers, who formed the country's technical and scientific elite, took it upon themselves to study, understand and fight the problem through planned actions of intervention on space. This work, based on proposals and discussions contained in engineering magazines and reports, aims to provide elements for the comprehension of how these systematized actions against droughts, in the Iate nineteenth and early twentieth century, contributed to spatial analysis and the formation of a (then-inexistent) regional and territorial planning discipline in Brazi!. Engineers, by taking up the position of masterminds in the country's modernization, guaranteed for themselves personal economic stability, social prestige and political power. By understanding nature, either as a resource to be exploited or an adversary to national progress, they contributed to the delimitation of the region now known as the Northeast. By seeking to understand the drought phenomenon, they created knowledge about the space they sought to intervene on; by constructing their projects amid political and economical difficulty, they changed the organizational structures of cities and country in the northeast. The proposals for açudes (Iarge water reservoirs) allowed the fixation of population and the resistance against droughts; the roads - railroads and automotive roadways - connected the sertão to the capitais and the coast, speeding up help to the affected populations during droughts and allowing the circulation of goods so as to strengthen the local economies in normal rimes. The adopted practices and techniques, adapted from foreign experience and developed through trial and improvement, were consolidated as an eminently spatial intervention course, even if a theoretical body of regional or territorial planning wasn't formed in Brazil. Regional Planning proper was first applied in the country in the Northeast itself, in the 1950s, based off an economical view of reality in order to achieve development. The engineer's work prior tothat date, however, cannot be dlsconsldered. It was proved that, despite facing financial and political hurdles, engineers had a profound commitment to the problem and intended to act systematically to transform the economical and social relations in the region, in order to be victorious in their struggle against droughts

A film director’s challenge : To manage – to manage? – The creative process in a film project

The aim of this text is to discuss how it is possible to manage the art creating process in a film project, where the circumstances are often turbulent. In normative project management literature one proceeds from the idea that a project is realised in a stable world from a clear goal. In a film project there is often a need to change your plans, to improvise both in front of the camera as well as behind the camera. In the theoretical cinematic literature the responsibility for the final film text is more and more being viewed as a product of not only the director, but of the whole team’s work. Consequently, the narrative of leadership/management in a film team can be viewed from a relational perspective where the director and those s/he interacts with, are responsible for the action, relations and social situations they construe jointly in the process of filmmaking. The organization of a film project is a temporary one. The members of a team are seldom the same from one production to another, as well as the creative process always being unique. According to process thinking, organizing can be seen as the ongoing creative activity where we structure and stabilize the chaotic, moving reality. As concerns a film project, the process of becoming of the filmic expression; careful plans, on the one hand, and improvisation and flexibility in action, on the other hand, are a precondition for its realisation. The director when setting a linguistic formulation to what is to be done, can be considered as a practical author.

Qualidade de vida da pessoa portadora de ostomia na unidade local de saúde nordeste

Uma ostomia de eliminação intestinal resulta de um procedimento cirúrgico que consiste na ligação de uma parte do intestino delgado ou grosso, a um orifício externo na cavidade abdominal designado de estoma. O utente portador de uma ostomia de eliminação intestinal, devido à sua situação clínica, manifesta um misto de emoções resultante do enorme impacto físico e emocional devido à doença e ao tratamento. A sua própria vida vai desencadear alterações profundas no seu EU, nos estilos de vida, nas relações familiares e sociais, na sua imagem corporal e na autoestima (Pinto, 2012). Foi objetivo deste estudo analisar a perceção que a pessoa portadora de ostomia de eliminação intestinal, seguida na Unidade Local de Saúde Nordeste (ULSNE), tem sobre a sua qualidade de vida (QV). A investigação enquadra-se no domínio da investigação observacional, optando-se pela realização de um estudo descritivo, analítico e transversal, de abordagem quantitativa. Como instrumento de colheita de dados foi utilizado um formulário com questões relativas às características sociodemográficas, a escala de Graffar e a escala de avaliação da qualidade de vida do utente ostomizado. Aceitaram participar no estudo 105 utentes portadores de eliminação intestinal. O sexo predominante é o masculino (50,5%). A classe etária mais representativa é a dos 65 aos 92 anos (78,1%) e o estado civil predominante antes (67,6%) e depois (55,2%) da cirurgia é o de casado. Quanto à atividade laboral, o abandono do trabalho a tempo inteiro, devido à nova situação clínica, foi referido por 94,3% dos inquiridos. Em relação às habilitações académicas, 46,7% sabe ler e escrever, enquadrando-se na classe social média (57,1%). A consulta de estomaterapia na ULSNE ainda não está implementada, mas os inquiridos consideram que a sua implementação seria pertinente (93,3%), facilitando principalmente a adaptação à nova realidade (40%), a ultrapassar dificuldades (28,6%), a evitar complicações/resolver os problemas (9,5%). A média da QV dos participantes neste estudo é de 279,92, superior à média teórica da escala (215), indicando os inquiridos evidenciam um bom nível de qualidade de vida. O enfermeiro estomaterapeuta é o profissional que melhor pode proporcionar toda a informação e suportes necessários, que permitam ultrapassar os problemas e as limitações sentidas pelo ostomizado e pelas pessoas significativas na sua vida.

Entendimentos e usos de lugar na produção social e na construção social das Pousadas de Portugal

Aceitando a ideia de lugar como construção intelectual e social, negociada na pluralidade de atores envolvidos na produção, experiência e representação do espaço, este artigo examina como as Pousadas de Portugal têm participado na territorialização de narrativas de identidade. Criadas em 1939 pelo Estado português, as Pousadas são uma rede de alojamentos turísticos majoritariamente localizados em espaço rural e instalados em edifícios patrimoniais, que fixam e geram narrativas sobre história e tradição em lugares particulares. O trabalho de campo, realizado em diferentes unidades, mostrou, todavia, como essas narrativas informam e são informadas por relações e práticas sociais que, diacrônicas e dinâmicas, se articulam com outras escalas territoriais e outras dimensões simbólicas. Novos valores e interações recisam, por isso, ser considerados na forma como os indivíduos conhecem, vivem e imaginam um lugar na sobremodernidade, constituindo-o por meio da experiência e da representação.

O belo antro e a grande oliveira : recepções da alegoria da caverna na tradição neoplatônica

Desde a Magna Grécia de Pitágoras, Empédocles e Parmênides, passando pelas relações “perigosas” entre a sabedoria nascente e as tradições órfico-dionisíacas, em nítida continuidade com a mitologia arcaica e as narrativas teogônicas, dialogando com as práticas médicas asclepíades, a filosofia antiga visita cavernas. A caverna da República, uma das mais poderosas e fecundas alegorias do pensamento ocidental, é simultaneamente herdeira e ponto de fuga da longa trajetória dessa metáfora. Não se pretende aqui, no entanto, compreender a imagem platônica como a consumação de uma velha tradição filosófica que “pensa em cavernas”; procura-se, antes, iluminar essa alegoria com a interpretação oferecida pela filosofia acadêmica posterior. No Antro das Ninfas, Porfírio parte de 11 versos de Homero (Od. XIII, 102-112) para habilmente desenhar uma exegese inspirada na teoria platônica da alma. A lectio porfiriana permite sugerir que a imagem da caverna revela algo mais que uma simples alegoria literária. Ela dá prova da existência de relações dialógicas e circulares entre a filosofia platônica e o imaginário religioso popular do mundo antigo. _______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT

Análise dos Determinantes da Motivação e Satisfação no Trabalho na Perspetiva de Futuros Técnicos de Hotelaria e Turismo

Este trabalho tem como objetivo determinar as dimensões da motivação e satisfação, adquirida, através da perceção em contexto da formação profissional, por futuros técnicos (estudantes) da indústria do turismo, nomeadamente através de cursos técnicos no sector da hotelaria e restauração. A metodologia compreende três fases distintas. Primeiro foram recuperados instrumentos (questionários), já validados por outros autores da motivação e satisfação, que tinha a intenção de replicar estudos realizados em outros campos do conhecimento científico, como o turismo. Estes instrumentos foram recuperados a partir da literatura realizada. Em segundo lugar, os instrumentos de medição foram submetidas a um pré-teste, ou melhor, foram objeto de um estudo pioneiro, a fim de verificar outros pressupostos, tais como erros de semântica ou ver se havia a possibilidade de algumas perguntas preparadas para ser considerado invalidado por má formulação ou interpretação. Finalmente, foram aplicados em três instituições de ensino que concordaram em cooperar com a investigação, com a reserva de que o entrevistado necessitaria de um pré-requisito obrigatório que consistiu na realização de uma formação mínima em Formação em Contexto de trabalho (FCT). Em seguida, procedeu-se a análise estatística para apoiar toda a parte empírica. Os resultados mostram que, em geral, motivação e satisfação estavam presentes durante o período de FCT. Para algumas pessoas isso significava um período muito importante da vida pessoal e profissional, a respeito das interações, emoções e envolvimento com organizações turísticas, mas também as relações pessoais e sociais.

A vida em família: parentesco, relações sociais e estilo de vida entre os calons de Sobral, Ceará

This thesis analyzes the social relations of Cavalcante family of Gypsies who live in the city of Sobral, Ceará; especially as kinship relations are lived in a context marked by tensions and instability. From the domestic core ethnography conducted from January to June 2013, and observing the representations by gypsies around the family term, the goal is to show how these representations are activated to describe forms of solidarity between gypsies. To define themselves in terms of how a "big family", the ciganos to demarcate the non-Roma and prepare themselves for life in society codes that can be changed in the audience and situations. The paper discusses the role of family relationships in the forms of sociability and conflicts, matrimonial strategies, including non-gypsies, work practices, defining a gypsy lifestyle.

Qualidade do sono, das relações sociais e da saúde, de acordo com a percepção dos trabalhadores em turno e noturno

O presente estudo trata da organização dos horários de trabalho em turnos fixos, analisando seu impacto na qualidade do sono, na utilização do tempo livre pelo trabalhador e de aspectos relacionados à sua percepção quanto à saúde. A pesquisa foi realizada com auxiliares do setor de impressão e acabamento de uma gráfica e editora localizada na cidade industrial, em Curitiba no estado do Paraná. Para avaliar a qualidade do sono, das relações sociais e da saúde, utilizou-se a versão traduzida do Standard Shiftwork Index (SSI) (JAFFE; SMOLENSKI; WUN, 1996). Para a identificação do cronotipo (vespertinidade/matutinidade) foi utilizado o questionário de Horne e Ostberg (1976). Os resultados demonstraram não haver diferenças significativas entre os três turnos quando comparados os valores médios dos escores de cada constructo, com exceção para as atividades sociais e familiares. Quando analisadas separadamente, cada questão do SSI referente ao sono, algumas tendências indicaram que quando o cronotipo é relacionado com o turno de trabalho, existem percepções diferentes quanto à qualidade do sono. Foi constatado também nos três turnos um anseio dos trabalhadores por um dia a mais de folga na semana, pois o descanso semanal não é suficiente para reparar a fadiga ocasionada pelo trabalho, principalmente para os trabalhadores do terceiro turno.

Culturas e epistemologias do sul: as relações internacionais traduzidas pelos movimentos sociais da América Latina

Desde perspectivas poscoloniales, se pretende comprender el tema de la mirada latinoamericana sobre las Relaciones Internacionales, teniendo como ejes las formaciones de identidades de la "periferia" del sistema internacional, las cuales poseen reminiscencias de los procesos coloniales. Por lo tanto, iniciamos con las siguientes preguntas: "¿Cuál es el papel de la cultura en la política mundial?", "Es posible entender las Relaciones Internacionales como un campo de conocimiento sin tener en cuenta las voces silenciadas por los procesos históricos de colonización?", "¿Cuáles son las características del sistema internacional actual y cuál es la relación entre ellas y los procesos locales de subordinación en América Latina? ". En base a estas preguntas, tratamos de contextualizar la disciplina de RI como poseedora de dinámicas de poder internas, que son influenciadas por la coyuntura jerárquica y colonial del sistema internacional, configurando, así, un círculo de prácticas y fundamentos teóricos que afectan localidades fuera de los grandes centros de poder.
