Redes Sociais Pessoais de Idosos, Satisfação com as Relações Interpessoais e Confiança

Objetivos: O presente estudo tem como objetivo geral caracterizar as redes sociais pessoais dos idosos com idade igual ou superior a 65 anos, analisando-as segundo o nível de satisfação com as relações interpessoais e a confiança nos outros. Metodologia: Este é um estudo descritivo e correlacional, privilegiando a análise bivariada. Os dados foram recolhidos através do Instrumento de Análise da Rede Social Pessoal, IARSP-Idosos (Guadalupe, 2009; Guadalupe & Vicente, 2012) e de uma escala de avaliação da Satisfação com as Relações Interpessoais, construída para o efeito, e de uma questão relacionada com a Confiança. Participantes: A amostra é constituída por 446 indivíduos, maioritariamente do sexo feminino (n=285; 63,9%), com idades compreendidas entre os 65 e os 98 anos; a maioria tem filhos (n = 389; 87,2%), e cerca de 80,0% (n = 357) vivem na sua casa, sendo a zona de residência essencialmente rural (61,2%; n = 273). A maioria tem escolaridade (65,9%; n = 294), sobretudo ao nível do quarto ano (n= 226; 50,7%). Resultados: Os resultados demonstram que os idosos do sexo feminino, com ≤ 75 anos, casado/a ou em união de fato, com filhos, que vivem acompanhados, com o 4ª ano de escolaridade e que não registam qualquer corte relacional, são os que mais confiam nos outros. Registam-se diferenças nas características funcionais da rede segundo esta variável, o que não acontece nas estruturais, com a exceção da proporção das relações com técnicos (p = 0,042) e nas relacionais-contextuais. A confiança nas pessoas com quem se relaciona correlaciona-se de forma positiva e estatisticamente significativa com a satisfação com os filhos, com os netos, com outros parentes, com os amigos e com os vizinhos (p<0,001). Conclusões: Numerosas variáveis sociodemográficas não aparentam estar relacionadas com a confiança nas pessoas com quem os idosos se relacionam, nas múltiplas dimensões consideradas. Em contrapartida, as variáveis que aparecem relacionadas com a confiança, são aquelas que, de forma mais ou menos direta, estão igualmente associadas ao domínio pessoal. É de salientar que no que respeita a esta variável se verificam diferenças nas características funcionais da rede o que não acontece nas estruturais e nas relacionais-contextuais. As relações familiares de filhos, netos e outros parentes são as que mais se associam à confiança e ao apoio social percebido pelos idosos, o qual é complementado por outras relações interpessoais, designadamente as que são estabelecidas com amigos e vizinhos. / Objetives: This study has the general objective to characterize the personal social networks of the elderly aged over 65 years, analyzing them according to the level of satisfaction with interpersonal relationships and trust in others. Methodology: This is a descriptive and correlational study, focusing on bivariate analysis. Data were collected through the Personal Social Networks Analysis Tool, IARSP-Elderly (Guadalupe, 2009; Vicente & Guadalupe, 2012) and a scale measuring satisfaction with interpersonal relations, purpose built, and a question related to the trust. Participants: The sample includes 446 individuals, mostly female (n = 285; 63,9%), aged between 65 and 98 years old; most have sons/daughters (n = 389; 87,2%), and about 80,0% (n = 357) are living in their home, mostly in rural areas (61,2%, n = 273). The majority have education (65,9%, n = 294), especially at the level of the fourth year (n = 226; 50,7%). Results: The results show that the elderly female, with <= 75, married, with children, living together, with the 4th grade, and did not record any relational cut, are the ones that rely in the others. We found differences in the functional characteristics of the network according to this variable, what does not happen on the structural variables, with the exception of the proportion of relations with workers in social services (p = 0,042), and on the relational-contextual. The confidence in the people he meets, correlates positively and statistically significant satisfaction with the children, with grandchildren, other relatives, friends and neighbors (p <0,001) Conclusions: Numerous sociodemographic variables do not appear to be related to trust in the interpersonal relationship, in the multiple dimensions considered. In contrast, the variables which appear related to trust are those which are associated with the personal domain. It is noteworthy that we have found differences in the functional characteristics of the network but not in the structural and the relational-contextual. Family relationships of children, grandchildren and other relatives are the most associated to the confidence and social support perceived by the elderly, which is complemented by other interpersonal relationships, including those with established friends and neighbors.

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

Relações interorganizacionais e confiança no setor da carcinicultura: um estudo de caso na camanor produtos marinhos

This study investigated how the types of confidence based on competence and good will act in the formation and maintenance of cooperation relationships between the Camanor and its partners (Aquatec, Purina, Caçuá, Uvifrios and Malta / Cleyton). It used organizational approaches on networks based primarily on studies of Powell (1987, 1990), Das and Teng (2000, 2001), Child (2001) and Contractor and Lorange (2004) which have described the advantages that cooperative relationships can provide, as well as their limits as alternative governance structures. Confidence has been considered an important factor affecting the actions and development of organizations involved in networks or in strategic alliances (ZAHEER; HARRIS, 2006) and is the most appropriate control mechanism in these situations (SYDOW, 1998). Confidence is seen from two different approaches: the economic and the sociological (ZAHEER; HARRIS, 2006). To facilitate the understanding of confidence some typologies have been created, as proposed by Barney and Hansen (1994), Lane (1998), Das and Teng (2000), Child (2001) and Wever, Martens and Vandenbempt (2005). This study made use of the case study as proposition of Yin (2005). Semi-structured interviews were held with pre-determined routes, in a single stage performed in early 2008. The research subjects were owners and / or responsible for Camanor and its business partners (Aquatec, Purina, Caçuá, Uvifrios and Malta / Cleyton). Also secondary data were collected in several sites related to the industry and enterprises studied, in addition to data collected by previous studies conducted by CARCINEREDES (2006). The primary data were analyzed using the analysing technique of the content proposed by Bardin (1994). Regarding the secondary data, they were qualitatively analyzed according to documentary analysis technique (BARDIN, 1994). Thus, through the data collected, could be concluded that although there is confidence based on good faith in relationships(UZZI, 1998; OF; TENG, 2001), their presence does not determine the formation and / or maintenance of a partnership, serves only in order to facilitate the relationship, making them more flexible. The confidence based on competence (DAS; TENG, 2001) influenced the formation and maintenance of relations studied. Because whether or not to form a relationship with another organization it is used the perception of the partner acts, namely the reputation (image) as decision basis. And it is through the verification of the performance of the partner activities that will determine the continuation of the partnership

A tomada de decisão nas instituições particulares de solidariedade social

Introdução e objetivo: Atualmente as Instituições Particulares de Solidariedade Social deparam-se com mudanças de caracter social, económico e legislativo, que têm afetado o seu funcionamento e financiamento. Pelo que, impõe-se às suas direções responder às necessidades sociais com maior responsabilidade e eficiência num contexto de maior escassez de recursos. Neste sentido, o presente estudo tem como objetivo compreender o modo como as Instituições Particulares de Solidariedade Social tomam decisões, ao nível do financiamento, para um funcionamento eficiente das mesmas. Metodologia: Optou-se por realizar estudos de caso com uma amostra constituída por quatro Instituições Particulares de Solidariedade Social. A recolha de dados foi feita através de entrevistas semiestruturadas e análise documental. O tratamento de dados foi feito através de análise de conteúdo e com recurso ao software QRS Nvivo versão 10. Resultados: Os principais resultados indicam que: a) as necessidades sociais influenciam decisões de aumento e diminuição da capacidade de respostas das instituições; b) o sistema legal influencia a perpetuação de intervenções de caracter institucional; c) a conjuntura económica influencia a pressão sobre o preço da comparticipação familiar e o aumento da concorrência entre instituições; d) a escassez de recursos constitui-se como denominador comum entre instituições, influenciando decisões de investimento que assumem o financiamento público como um facto consumado; e) as práticas de liderança e gestão desenvolvidas por direções com elementos que têm conhecimentos na área financeira são mais propensas a assumir o risco e a aumentar a complexidade operativa das instituições f) as práticas de envolvimento de stakeholders internos e externos contribuem para a aquisição de apoio na prossecução dos seus objetivos. Conclusão: As tomadas de decisão das instituições com acordos com a segurança social assemelham-se por prevalecer o desenvolvimento de respostas tipificadas, com acordo com a segurança social. Apesar disso, os resultados evidenciam a importância de práticas de liderança e gestão desenvolvidas com a presença de elementos com conhecimentos na área financeira, para o desenvolvimento de respostas tipificadas com rentabilidade económica. Salienta-se ainda que o desenvolvimento de práticas de envolvimento de stakeholders internos e externos, baseados na responsabilização e transparência, promovem o alcance de apoios para assegurar o desenvolvimento das atividades institucionais, com maior incidência na instituição sem acordos com a segurança social, mas que os mesmos não asseguram a sua eficiência económica.

Earnings management nas instituições particulares de solidariedade social

A manipulação contabilística constitui-se como uma problemática atual, relatada sob os mais diversos contextos. Este estudo descritivo pretende verificar a existência de Earnings Management no contexto das Instituições Particulares de Solidariedade Social (IPSS) e averiguar as razões (motivações) que levam a estas práticas. A amostra para este estudo é constituída por 14 instituições portuguesas, num total de 58 observações situadas entre os anos 2009 e 2014. Para a análise dos dados foi utilizada uma abordagem quantitativa, primeiramente através de estatística descritiva e correlacional. Para testar a existência de Earnings Management utilizou-se um modelo baseado no estudo de accruals agregados (Modelo de Jones - 1991) e um modelo complementar baseado na distribuição de frequência de resultados (Burgstahler e Dichev -1997). Os resultados permitem inferir a existência destas práticas neste setor e as motivações estarão relacionadas com a rendibilidade das instituições.

Recursos humanos e gestão da qualidade: "estudos de caso" em instituições particulares de solidariedade social no Concelho de Estremoz

Neste trabalho discute-se a relevância da performance nas Instituições de Solidariedade Social, com especial incidência a Gestão de Recursos Humanos, e a implementação da Gestão da Qualidade Total, na medida que se multiplicam as exigências em torno da eficiência, quantidade e qualidade dos serviços, e uma maior flexibilidade para assegurar a competitividade a nível nacional. A Gestão Estratégica de Recursos Humanos é a resposta possível e sustentada, de colocar os colaboradores no centro das Instituições, apelando à autonomia, criatividade, talento, estímulos, aspirações individuais e cooperativas, e considerar que são os colaboradores que fazem o sucesso das Instituições. Com este trabalho pretende-se chamar a atenção para a importância da GRH dentro das Instituições de Solidariedade Social, fazendo um diagnóstico da laboração na área de recursos humanos e propondo um plano de intervenção/reorganização destes mesmos serviços. Este trabalho de Dissertação segue a metodologia de três estudos de caso cuja recolha de dados foi realizada, tendo por base diversas fontes: análise documental, observação direta, questionário. Verificamos que as Instituições, objetos de estudo revelam poucos conhecimentos a nível da gestão de recursos humanos, e no que concerne à gestão da qualidade, duas das intuições não tem qualquer conhecimento, apenas a Cerciestemoz trabalha em prol da qualidade uma vez que é, uma Instituição já com vários certificados de qualidade. Face ao estudo empírico realizado constatamos que existe alguma dificuldade em prevalecer a gestão de recursos humanos e a gestão da qualidade, porque terão que estar inseridas as políticas de Gestão Recursos Humanos para que os colaboradores se sintam mais motivados e responsáveis pelas funções que desempenham, o que não é visível neste momento; ABSTRACT: This research discusses the relevance of performance in social solidarity institutions, with a focus on Human Resource Management, and the implementation of Total Quality Management, to the extent that multiply the requirements around efficiency, quantity and quality of services and greater flexibility to ensure competitiveness at national level. The Strategic Human Resource Management is possible and sustained response, placing employees at the center of the institutions, calling for autonomy, creativity, talent, stimuli, individual aspirations and cooperative skills, and consider that it is the employees that make the success of the institutions. This work is intended to draw attention to the importance of HRM in the institutions of social solidarity, making a diagnosis of laboring in the area of human resources and proposing an action plan / reorganization of these same services. This Master's work follows the methodology of three case studies in which data collection was carried out, based on several sources: document analysis, direct observation, questionnaire. We found that the institutions, objects of study reveal little knowledge in the management of human resources, and with regard to quality management, two of intuitions do not have any knowledge, only Cerciestemoz works for the quality since it is a institution already with several quality certificates. Given the empirical study found that there is some difficulty prevail human resource management and quality management, they will have to be inserted the policies of Human Resources Management for employees and feel more motivated and responsible for the functions they perform, the which is not visible at this time.
