Gest��o de recursos humanos

A gest��o de recursos humanos �� uma abordagem em ascen����o e em constante muta����o, exigindo-se ��s empresas capacidade de atra����o, motiva����o e reten����o de recursos humanos. Este estudo tem como objetivo fundamental compreender quais as boas pr��ticas na gest��o de RH das unidades hoteleiras do Norte de Portugal. Adotando uma abordagem metodol��gica quantitativa, aplicamos como instrumento um question��rio das melhores pr��ticas na gest��o internacional de recursos humanos, o qual foi adaptado ao respetivo contexto social, cultural e organizacional, ��s unidades hoteleiras da regi��o do Norte de Portugal. O question��rio foi respondido por cinquenta e dois gestores daquelas organiza����es. Os principais resultados obtidos sobre as boas pr��ticas de recursos humanos utilizadas confirmam que os respons��veis acreditam estar a fazer uma gest��o de pessoas muito eficaz, que os colaboradores apresentam um elevado desempenho e se encontram satisfeitos com o seu emprego. Utilizam de uma forma geral todas as pr��ticas de recursos humanos eficazmente, que contribuem positivamente para o sucesso organizacional. Chegamos igualmente �� conclus��o, que estando perante um setor de atividade em franco crescimento e com uma enorme concorr��ncia, s�� com uma leitura constante e adequada ao momento das v��rias pr��ticas, permitir�� aos seus gestores atualizar, adaptar a sua lideran��a e assim ter colaboradores satisfeitos, interessados e comprometidos com os objetivos organizacionais. N��o obstante, conclui-se que se pode e deve fazer mais para continuar rumo �� excel��ncia.

Reabilita����o de um Edif��cio de Servi��os no Porto para fun����o de Hotel

Este relat��rio de est��gio aborda o tema da reabilita����o, referindo-se a uma interven����o da especialidade e tamb��m constru����o de ra��z, de um Hotel situado na rua do Hero��smo no Porto. Portugal possui um edificado que tem vindo a degradar-se ao longo dos ��ltimos anos, devido essencialmente �� falta de opera����es peri��dicas de manuten����o, conserva����o e reabilita����o. Esta degrada����o resulta n��o s�� do mau estado de conserva����o generalizado dos edif��cios, mas tamb��m da inexist��ncia de infra-estruturas urban��sticas em devido funcionamento. Tal conjunto de situa����es, leva a um movimento migrat��rio dos habitantes das cidades para as respetivas periferias. A cidade do Porto n��o �� uma exce����o, estando a necessitar de um forte esfor��o de reabilita����o para inverter esta situa����o. Ao longo dos ��ltimos anos t��m vindo a ser criados diversos apoios financeiros, nacionais e europeus, com o objetivo de ajudar as opera����es de reabilita����o. Mais recentemente foi possibilitada a cria����o de Sociedades de Reabilita����o Urbana (SRU), cujo objetivo �� o de promover e orientar todo o processo de reabilita����o, de forma a regula-lo nos centros das cidades. No entanto a interven����o de reabilita����o de um edif��cio �� uma opera����o complexa, com diversas especificidades e com in��meras condicionantes devido ��s pr��-exist��ncias pr��prias de cada edif��cio.

(Un)ethical leadership, organizational identification and sensemaking: the BES case and its impact on employees

This paper provides an ongoing analysis to one of the biggest ethical and financial scandals in Portugal ��� Banco Esp��rito Santo (BES). BES was considered one of the three best banks but it went bankrupted and its employees were transferred to a new entity ��� Novo Banco. This study was conducted in order to provide an understanding of the employees��� side, which has been forgotten so far. An ethical scandal (sensebreaking) creates ambiguity and uncertainty which triggers new sensemaking processes in order to understand and derive meaning from the new reality. The methodology followed was semi-structured interviews to employees both from the branches and the central services. We found evidence that in organizations with strong identification, unethical behavior has a significant impact on followers��� ��� the new process of sensemaking is particularly important in this situation because employees suffer more from the disruption of their reality.

Managing talent through developmental job experiences (DJE): The mediating role of DJE between HPWS and employees' outcomes

In the competitive landscape of the 21st century, effectively managing human capital in firms is considered to be a potential source of sustainable performance. Therefore, in this study, we tested the influence of high-performance work systems, as a talent management tool, on employees��� experience of developmental jobs. Then, we tested the mediating effect of such experiences on employees��� engagement, exhaustion, performance and turnover intention. With a sample of 254 employees of a diversity of companies and sectors of activity, our findings demonstrated that high-performance practices increase engagement, via the promotion of developmental experiences of fit, which improves performance and decreases turnover intention. Besides, those practices do not control for the pressure dimension of the developmental job experiences that increases exhaustion and turnover intention despite not worsening performance.

Hotel industry: An answer to the emerging trends on the global demand side of tourism

This dissertation studies essentially how Millennials are changing the hotel industry, in the sense that new trends are emerging with this generation and hotels need to respond accordingly, in order to survive within their competitive industry. Emphasis is also given to Asian travellers, as the enlargement of these countries��� middle class populations is predicted, therefore making Asian travellers a valuable target for the hotel industry. To successfully target this segment, hoteliers need also to consider the cultural differences and aspirations that come together with the Asian travellers, and appropriately adapt their offer to them. I will then redirect this study to the city of Lisbon, the Portuguese capital, to analyse if Lisbon���s four and five-star hotel managers are aware of the new market trends, and to understand how they are changing their hotels in order to make them more attractive to Millennials and Asian travellers. Using a sample of 12 hotels (four and five-stars ratings), I have concluded that, although there is a notable undergoing process of adaptation to these guests, there is a long way ahead in order for Lisbon���s hotels to entirely please and retain millennial guests.

"Public on the outside, private on the inside": the organizational hybridization, sense of belonging and identity strategies of the employees of a public unemployment insurance fund in Switzerland

A number of studies show that New Public Management reforms have altered the current identity benchmarks of public officials, particularly by hybridizing values or management practices. However, existing studies have largely glossed over the sense of belonging of officials when their organization straddles the concerns of public service and private enterprise, so that the boundary between public and private sector is blurred. The purpose of this article is precisely to explore this sense of belonging in the context of organizational hybridization. It does so by drawing on the results of research conducted among the employees of a public unemployment insurance fund in Switzerland. On the one hand, the analysis shows how much their markers of belonging are hybrid, multiple and constructed in negative terms (with regard to the State), while indicating that the working practices of the employees point to an identity that is nevertheless closely bound with the public sector. On the other hand, the analysis shows that the organization plays strategically with its State status, by exploiting either its private or public identity in line with the needs related to its external image. The article concludes with a discussion of the results highlighting the strategic functionality of the hybrid identity of the actors.
