Perspectives in Resource Management and Climate Change Adaptation in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean. MEDPRO Policy Paper No. 6, March 2013

This policy paper focuses on the sustainable management of some key natural resources in southern and eastern Mediterranean countries (SEMCs) under climate change and anthropogenic pressures. In a business-as-usual and even more so in a failed cooperation scenario, water resources, ecosystems and biodiversity in the region are under stress, with negative consequences for agriculture, food security, tourism and development. However, proper adaptation strategies are shown to be effective in reconciling resource conservation with GDP, trade and population growth. These need be implemented in different ways: technological, institutional, behavioural; and at different levels: regional, national and international. There is ample room for fruitful cooperation between the EU and SEMCs in this area, which can take the form of EU direct financial and technical support when resources in SEMCs are scarce, and of multilateral and bilateral cooperation programmes to improve resource efficiency. The EU could also take on the role of coordinating these different bilateral actions and, at the same time, support SEMCs to establish a structured programme focused on the communication and dissemination of emerging best practices.

A gestão de recursos humanos e o desempenho individual

O presente estudo analisou a relação entre a percepção do sistema de práticas de recursos humanos e a percepção de desempenho individual, bem como o papel do compromisso afectivo, enquanto variável mediadora desta relação. Mais especificamente, tendo como referência o modelo de gestão de recursos humanos de Guest, avaliou-se se a percepção que os trabalhadores tinham do sistema de práticas de recursos humanos estava associada à sua percepção de desempenho individual, bem como se o compromisso afectivo, enquanto ligação sócio-emocional que os trabalhadores estabelecem com a sua organização, poderia desenvolver-se como resposta afectiva à percepção do sistema de gestão de recursos humanos e, deste modo, contribuir para explicar a percepção do desempenho individual. As hipóteses foram testadas com modelos de equações estruturais numa amostra de 1885 trabalhadores de uma empresa do sector da banca que responderam a um questionário on-line. Os resultados demonstraram que, tal como esperado, a percepção do sistema de gestão de recursos humanos estava positivamente associada à percepção de desempenho individual e que esta relação era parcialmente mediada pelo compromisso afectivo. No seu conjunto, os resultados deste estudo apontam alguns dos benefícios de uma gestão estratégica de recursos humanos centrada no compromisso dos trabalhadores, sendo discutidas diversas implicações para a gestão de recursos humanos.
