Cuerpo, género y vejez en las viviendas colaborativas para personas mayores

Esta investigación es un acercamiento a las formas de estructurar los cuidados en el incipiente fenómeno de las viviendas colaborativas de personas mayores (senior cohousing) en el Estado Español. Desde el enfoque de la arquitectura feminista se ha realizado una etnografía en base a entrevistas a personas mayores implicadas en procesos de desarrollo de viviendas colaborativas. También nos hemos basado en la observación del Centro Convivencial para personas Mayores Trabensol y el centro socio-cultural La Casa de Lx Abuelx de la Fundación 26 de Diciembre para mayores gays. Mediante este estudio cualitativo se analizan las diferentes implicaciones que estas nuevas organizaciones espaciales domésticas conllevan en relación con los cuidados, los dispositivos comunitarios y la vida cotidiana en las viviendas colaborativas. Además hemos prestado atención a como las estructuras de género operan en el espacio, doméstico en este caso, y la vivencia y socialización que se desarrolla en el mismo.

Linking transformational leadership and organizational trust: has organizational commitment a mediating effect on it?

[EN] The main goal of this study is to analyze how organizational commitment has a mediating effect on the relation between transformational leadership and organizational trust. Therefore we developed an organization analysis based on a survey that was used to collect primary data from a sample of 58 employees. We obtained a 71% response rate and these data were analyzed using quantitative methodological techniques and linear regression. The research was conducted at the Serralves Foundation (Porto, Portugal) to empirically test the proposed research model and its hypotheses. The empirical results confirm that transformational leadership positively enhances organizational trust. However, transformational leadership and organizational trust are not significantly influenced by organizational commitment, thus not having a mediating effect on this relationship. Such results assume particular relevance because they become a basis for comparative studies in similar organizations. This study brings some theoretical contributions to the literature by analyzing the mediating effect of organizational commitment on the relation between transformational leadership and organizational trust in cultural organizations and has also some practical management implications, as it draws attention to the importance of a set of practices, job satisfaction oriented, which can effectively lead to organizational commitment intervention in the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational trust.
