Counseling Self-Efficacy and the Relational Efficacy Model

Relation-inferred self-efficacy (RISE), a relatively new concept, is defined as a target individual’s beliefs about how an observer, often a relationship partner, perceives the target’s ability to perform certain actions successfully. Along with self-efficacy (i.e., one’s beliefs about his or her own ability) and other-efficacy (i.e., one’s beliefs about his or her partner’s ability), RISE makes up a three part system of interrelated efficacy beliefs known as the relational efficacy model (Lent & Lopez, 2002). Previous research has shown this model to be helpful in understanding how relational dyads, including coach-athlete, advisor-advisee, and romantic partners, contribute to the development of self-efficacy beliefs. The clinical supervision dyad (i.e., supervisor-supervisee), is another context in which relational efficacy beliefs may play an important role. This study investigated the relationship between counseling self-efficacy, RISE, and other-efficacy within the context of clinical supervision. Specifically, it examined whether supervisee perceptions about how their supervisor sees their counseling ability (RISE) related to how supervisees see their own counseling ability (counseling self-efficacy), and what moderates this relationship. The study also sought to discover the degree to which RISE mediated the relationship between supervisor working alliance and counseling self-efficacy. Data were collected from 240 graduate students who were currently enrolled in counseling related fields, working with at least one client, and receiving regular supervision. Results demonstrated that years of experience and RISE predicted counseling self-efficacy and that the relationship between RISE and counseling self-efficacy was, as expected, moderated by other-efficacy. Contrary to expectations, however, counseling experience and level of client difficulty did not moderate the relationship between RISE and counseling self-efficacy. These findings suggest that the relationship between RISE and counseling self-efficacy was stronger when supervisees saw their supervisors as capable therapists. Furthermore, RISE was found to fully mediate the relationship between supervisor working alliance and counseling self-efficacy. Future research directions and implications for training and supervision are discussed.

Certificação de idoneidade formativa do serviço de medicina interna do Hospital de São Bernardo

Na formação inicial de Enfermagem os ensinos clínicos são um momento de consolidação de saberes teóricos e simultaneamente um momento de aquisição de saberes práticos em contexto real de trabalho. Este momento de formação é supervisionado por Enfermeiros da prática clínica que assumem um importante papel no processo de formação dos estudantes de enfermagem. Para consolidar este processo de ensino/aprendizagem a Ordem dos Enfermeiros desenvolveu um extenso trabalho que visa a certificação de Enfermeiros Supervisores, em que propõe que os Licenciados em Enfermagem, realizem um período de Exercício Profissional Tutelado, acompanhados por esse mesmo Enfermeiro Supervisor. Para que esse período ocorra é necessário a convergência de dois fatores, um é a existência de um Enfermeiro Supervisor certificado pela Ordem dos Enfermeiros, outro é a certificação do serviço onde esse exercício profissional tutelado decorra, num espaço onde exista Certificação de Serviço com Idoneidade Formativa certificada pela Ordem dos Enfermeiros. Para que tal aconteça é necessário que o supervisor e o serviço cumpram os critérios preconizados pela Ordem dos Enfermeiros. Este trabalho surge com o objetivo de certificar o Serviço de Medicina Interna do Hospital de São Bernardo como unidade de saúde com Idoneidade Formativa certificada pela Ordem dos Enfermeiros para o Exercício Profissional Tutelado, naquele que é inerente ao Modelo de Desenvolvimento Profissional proposto pela Ordem dos Enfermeiros

Implicaciones institucionales de la ley de Protección de Datos

La tesis versa sobre las Autoridades de control en materia de protección de datos. Se divide en tres capítulos, cuyo criterio de división ha sido el territorio: Europa, Estados Unidos y España. En todos ellos se estudia el origen del derecho a la protección de datos, los instrumentos normativos, la jurisprudencia y los organismos encargados de su supervisión, sobre los que se focaliza el desarrollo de la investigación. En el primer capítulo se distinguen tres secciones: el Consejo de Europa, que incluye el Convenio Europeo de Derechos Humanos y el Convenio 108 así como su Protocolo Adicional y el estudio sobre la revisión del mismo; las Directrices Internacionales, incidiendo en el análisis de las Directrices de privacidad de la OCDE, las de la ONU, el Marco de Privacidad del Foro de Cooperación Asia-Pacífico y los Estándares Internacionales de la Resolución de Madrid; y el tercero, la Unión Europea, cuyo estudio profundiza desde la creación del derecho fundamental hasta la normativa europea, examinando la Directiva 95/46/CE de Protección de Datos, el Reglamento (CE) 45/2001 que regula el tratamiento de datos personales en las instituciones de la Unión Europea, la Carta de los Derechos Fundamentales y el nuevo Reglamento General de Protección de Datos. Finaliza este bloque con un análisis pormenorizado de las Autoridades Europeas de Protección de Datos, haciendo especial énfasis en el Supervisor Europeo de Protección de Datos y en el Consejo Europeo de Protección de Datos, valorando la nueva situación que se creará en Europa. Especial relevancia tiene el análisis sobre las características de los organismos de control y en especial sobre la independencia. En el segundo capítulo se realiza un paralelismo entre los modelos estadounidense y europeo, buscando las similitudes y diferencias, para lo que se explica el concepto de privacidad y la protección que EEUU le otorga, así como el tratamiento dado por el principal organismo que tutela los derechos de los ciudadanos en materia de privacidad, la Comisión Federal del Comercio (Federal Trade Commission). Se somete a análisis el Asunto Safe Harbour. El tercer capítulo se dedica a España, donde se analiza el reconocimiento del derecho fundamental a la protección de datos como derecho atípico y el reparto competencial existente teniendo en cuenta que ni la materia ni la competencia son reconocidas en la Constitución española. Se examina la normativa al respecto y se desglosa la naturaleza, estructura y funcionamiento de la Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, en la que se procede a describir todas las funciones que el nuevo Reglamento General de Protección de Datos otorgará a las Autoridades de control nacionales. A nivel autonómico también se profundiza en las Autoridades de control, intentando valorar la problemática de las competencias asumidas por cada una de ellas. Se analiza más pormenorizadamente el Consejo Andaluz de Protección de Datos. Concluye la investigación con un apartado que recoge las principales aportaciones de la autora, tanto desde la observación como desde las propuestas de cambio o mejora. Destaca entre las mismas la necesidad de potenciar por parte de los estados e instituciones una mayor cultura de protección de datos, la necesidad de una autoridad de control a nivel europeo jerárquicamente superior, la de definir los parámetros de la independencia de dichas autoridades con exigencias superiores a las actuales, la necesidad de una modificación constitucional en España que recoja el derecho a la protección de datos como derecho fundamental así como el reparto competencial, y en Andalucía el aprovechamiento de las instituciones existentes en lugar de la creación de nuevos organismos

A Relação professor-aluno e a afirmação do discente como sujeito do processo projetual: um estudo exploratório sobre a produção do trabalho final de graduação em arquitetura e urbanismo na UFC e na UFRN

This work deals with teacher-student relationship (TSR), held in a very special moment: the semester of graduation of architecture and urbanism, where students prepare the final work called Graduation Final Work (GFW). That is the last stage to obtain the title of architect and urban planner in Brazil. The text discusses this problem in several ways, emphasing the relationship between graduated student and his/her mentors into the consolidation process of the student as an actor of the planning process, here defined as "autonomy". The work is focused on understanding the TSR in order to elucidate its importance for improvement of teaching bases on development of the GFW, more than the relation between curriculum and institution. Related with the exploratory characteristic of this master thesis, methodologically, the field work happened through: (i) observation of mentorship guidance, (ii) interviews, and (iii) application of questionnaires to teachers and students. Participated 10 pairs of student and mentors of two federal university of Northeast: 05 pairs of the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) and 05 pairs of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). The results presented the development of the GFW as a difficult process / fearful for students, highlighting the main problem situations: the difficulty in choosing the theme, the super-sizing of the process, students' insecurities, and parental relationship with the supervisor process. Summing up, the work indicates that the students has a limited autonomy on the GFW process, which calls for a revision in order to promote the consolidation of the student autonomy, which must be observed for some positions recognition of the role of each actor in the process of orientation

Políticas y procedimientos de control de calidad en la organización interna de las firmas de auditoría de acuerdo a la Norma internacional sobre control de calidad No.1.

Ante la problemática observada sobre la deficiente aplicación de un efectivo control de calidad en el desempeño de compromisos de auditoria, y como respuesta a la necesidad de establecer un parámetro de un sistema de control de calidad, se efectuó esta investigación que tiene por finalidad proporcionar un modelo de manual de políticas y procedimientos de acuerdo a la Norma Internacional Sobre Control de Calidad No 1, cuyo contenido está enfocado a las necesidades determinadas en dicha investigación. El desarrollo de una profesión debe hacerse dentro de un marco que requiera un nivel óptimo de calidad. En particular, en el caso de un auditor que emite informes con opinión, se advierte que la incidencia social y económica de su trabajo es muy importante. A mayor calidad de trabajo, menor incertidumbre tendrán los terceros usuarios de esa información. La búsqueda de la calidad del servicio se basa en el cumplimiento de los requisitos establecidos en las normas profesionales al menor costo posible. La Norma Internacional Sobre Control de Calidad No 1 tiene como finalidad establecer normas y proporcionar guías respecto a las responsabilidades de las firmas por sus sistemas de control de calidad para las auditorias y revisiones de información financiera histórica y para otros compromisos de aseguramiento y servicios afines. La investigación se desarrolló bajo el enfoque interpretativo-descriptivo, la cual reseña las características o rasgos de la situación objeto de estudio permitiendo de esta manera la interpretación de los datos recopilados en el desarrollo de la investigación, con la finalidad de comprender la realidad, que mediante técnicas e instrumentos tales como el cuestionario y la encuesta permitió determinar las valoraciones siguientes: La investigación permitió determinar que en las firmas de auditoría los asistentes constituyen más de la mitad del personal con el que se cuenta para desarrollar los compromisos adquiridos y en su mayoría desconocen el contenido y aplicación de la Norma Internacional Sobre Control de Calidad No 1. Por carencia de conocimiento de la aplicación de la Norma Internacional Sobre Control de Calidad No 1, los encuestados confunden las funciones del Revisor del sistema de control de calidad con las tareas que realiza un supervisor del trabajo de auditoria, igual situación sucede cuando se refieren al manual de políticas y procedimientos que la firma debe aplicar en la organización interna, lo que erróneamente se considera que es el manual para desarrollar el trabajo de auditoria. A pesar que el Consejo de Vigilancia de la Profesión de la Contaduría Pública y Auditoria puso en vigencia la Norma Internacional Sobre Control de Calidad No 1 a partir de junio dos mil cinco, en la investigación se determinó que el personal que labora en las firmas de auditoría tienen poco conocimiento de la normativa, y que no tienen establecidas o desconocen políticas y procedimientos que aseguren el cumplimiento de los lineamientos establecidos en el Código de Ética del IFAC y del Código de Ética para Profesionales de la Contaduría Pública.

Automação da drenagem no teste de produção convencional em tanque cilíndrico

This document aims to improve the quality of the production test in vertical tanks with free water drain pipes, through a device to control the draining system. This proposal consists of an interface detector close to the tank bottle and a control valve on the pipe-drain; they are attached to a remote supervisor system, which will be minimizing the human influence in the conclusion of the test result. And for more consciousness the work shows the importance of the wells production test in the attendance and diagnosis of the productive process, informing the large number of tests executed and problems of the procedure adopted in the field today. There are many possible sources of uncertainty in this kind of test as shown in the experiments realized in the field; the object prototype of this dissertation will be made in the field, based upon the definition of parameters and characteristics of the devices proposal. For a better definition of the draining process the action results of the assessment test are shown, especially changed some for the understand ing of the real process. It shows the proposal details and the configuration that will be used in the tank of Monte Alegre s field Production Station, explaining the interface detector kind and the control system. It is the base to a pilot project now in development, named as the new project classified in the status of the new technology and production improvement of PETROBRAS in Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará. This dissertation concludes that the automation of the conventional test with the draining system will bring benefits both economically as metrologically, because it reduces the uncertainty of the test procedures with free water draining, and also decreases the number of tests with problems

Validation de l’échelle de mesure de la conscience de l’environnement d’affaires

La conscience de l’environnement d’affaires est définie comme l’ensemble des savoirs détenus par les employés non-cadres par rapport à l’environnement d’affaires interne et externe de leur organisation. Elle se manifeste lorsque l’employé est impliqué dans la prise de décision ou résolution de problème affectant l’entreprise. Ce travail a comme objectifs la validation d’une échelle de mesure du concept à l’étude, ainsi que la vérification de sa validité de construit et nomologique. L’ensemble initial d’items de l’échelle de mesure a été déterminé suite à des entrevues avec les employés d’organisations participantes (Gauvreau-Jean, 2008). L’ensemble initial de 40 items a été testé avec un échantillon de 508 employés d’une manufacture. Suite à des ajustements, l’échelle modifiée couvre quatre dimensions du construit. L’adéquation de son contenu a ensuite été mise à l’épreuve par deux groupes cibles et deux évaluations expertes (Lessard, 2014). Finalement, dans le cadre de notre étude, la validité du contenu et nomologique de l’échelle modifiée (contenant 24 items) a été testée avec 330 employés de première ligne de quatre entreprises. Les quatre dimensions du construit furent supportées, la fiabilité de l’échelle était haute, puis les hypothèses reliant la conscience de l’environnement avec les caractéristiques au travail, l’évaluation de la performance par un superviseur et l’engagement affectif furent supportées également. Un autre sondage complété par les gestionnaires (n=43) avait comme but une évaluation de la performance contextuelle des employés supervisés. Le développement de l’échelle à 24 items sur la conscience de l’environnement d’affaires pourrait répondre aux questions portant sur la participation de l’employé et l’efficacité organisationnelle.

Work creativity as a dimension of job performance

To stay competitive, many employers are looking for creative and innovative employees to add value to their organization. However, current models of job performance overlook creative performance as an important criterion to measure in the workplace. The purpose of this dissertation is to conduct two separate but related studies on creative performance that aim to provide support that creative performance should be included in models of job performance, and ultimately included in performance evaluations in organizations. Study 1 is a meta-analysis on the relationship between creative performance and task performance, and the relationship between creative performance and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Overall, I found support for a medium to large corrected correlation for both the creative performance-task performance (ρ = .51) and creative performance-OCB (ρ = .49) relationships. Further, I also found that both rating-source and study location were significant moderators. Study 2 is a process model that includes creative performance alongside task performance and OCB as the outcome variables. I test a model in which both individual differences (specifically: conscientiousness, extraversion, proactive personality, and self-efficacy) and job characteristics (autonomy, feedback, and supervisor support) predict creative performance, task performance, and OCB through engagement as a mediator. In a sample of 299 employed individuals, I found that all the individual differences and job characteristics were positively correlated with all three performance criteria. I also looked at these relationships in a multiple regression framework and most of the individual differences and job characteristics still predicted the performance criteria. In the mediation analyses, I found support for engagement as a significant mediator of the individual differences-performance and job characteristics-performance relationships. Taken together, Study 1 and Study 2 support the notion that creative performance should be included in models of job performance. Implications for both researchers and practitioners alike are discussed.^

An Examination of Psychological Meaningfulness, Safety, and Availability as the Underlying Mechanisms linking Job Features and Personal Characteristics to Work Engagement

The present study tested a nomological net of work engagement that was derived from its extant research. Two of the main work engagement models that have been presented and empirically tested in the literature, the JD-R model and Kahn’s model, were integrated to test the effects that job features and personal characteristics can have on work engagement through the psychological conditions of meaningfulness, safety, and availability. In this study, safety refers to psychological perceptions of safety and not workplace safety behaviors. The job features that were tested in this model included person-job fit, autonomy, co-worker relations, supervisor support, procedural justice, and interactional justice, while the personal characteristics consisted of self-consciousness, self-efficacy, extraversion, and neuroticism. Thirty-four hypotheses and a conceptual model were tested in order to establish the viability of this nomological net of work engagement in which it was expected that meaningfulness would mediate the relationships between job features and work engagement, safety would mediate the relationships that job features and personal characteristics have with work engagement, and availability (physical, emotional, and cognitive resources) would mediate the relationships that personal characteristics have with work engagement. Furthermore, analyses were run in order to determine the factor structure of work engagement, assess whether or not it exhibits differential validity from organizational commitment and job satisfaction, and confirm that it is positively related to the outcome variable of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). The final sample consisted of 500 workers from an online labor market who responded to a questionnaire composed of measures of all constructs included in this study. Findings show that work engagement is best represented as a three-factor construct, composed of vigor, dedication and absorption. Furthermore, support was found for the distinction of work engagement from the related constructs of organizational commitment and job satisfaction. With regard to the proposed model, meaningfulness proved to be the strongest predictor of work engagement. Results show that it partially mediates the relationships that all job features have with work engagement. Safety proved to be a partial mediator of the relationships that autonomy, co-worker relations, supervisor support, procedural justice, interactional justice, and self-efficacy have with work engagement, and fully mediate the relationship between neuroticism and work engagement. Findings also show that availability partially mediates the positive relationships that extraversion and self-efficacy have with work engagement, and fully mediates the negative relationship that neuroticism has with work engagement. Finally, a positive relationship was found between work engagement and OCB. Research and organizational implications are discussed.
