TL;DR: In this paper, a pesquisa objetivou compreender os impactos that a adocao do home office, no periodo da quarentena da Covid-19, teve no conflito trabalho-familia vivida por trabalhadoras brasileiras.
Abstract: RESUMO Esta pesquisa objetivou compreender os impactos que a adocao do home office, no periodo da quarentena da Covid-19, teve no conflito trabalho-familia vivida por trabalhadoras brasileiras. Para alcancar o objetivo, foram entrevistadas 14 profissionais com diferentes arranjos familiares. Todas as entrevistadas relataram sobrecarga de trabalho devido as exigencias organizacionais, as demandas com os filhos e com a casa. Apesar disso, cabe destacar que, de acordo com os depoimentos, a sobrecarga de trabalho nao intensificou o conflito trabalho-familia para todas, o que vai na contramao do previsto na literatura. Algumas entrevistadas alegaram que o home office aproximou-as dos filhos e maridos e propiciou mais tempo para atividade fisicas e de lazer. Tal achado pode contribuir para ampliar o debate sobre o conflito trabalho-familia, muitas vezes conflituosa, ao postular que nao apenas o tempo, a pressao e o comportamento sao fontes deste conflito, mas tambem a distância fisica que as horas dedicadas ao trabalho fora de casa requerem.

TL;DR: In this paper, a proposicao sobre pensar os Estudos Organizacionais desde a America Latina (AL) tem como premissa reconhecer que a epistemologia e politica e ha uma epistemology da dominacao inseparavel de seu fundamento material.
Abstract: RESUMO A proposicao sobre pensar os Estudos Organizacionais desde a America Latina (AL) tem como premissa reconhecer que a epistemologia e politica e que ha uma epistemologia da dominacao inseparavel de seu fundamento material. O texto faz uma discussao sobre o significado da AL, defendendo que ela e simultaneamente um espaco geopolitico e uma categoria de analise. Em seguida, realiza uma aproximacao aos Estudos Organizacionais na AL desde o contexto brasileiro. Por fim, destaca a importância de um conhecimento fundado em uma etica critica que contribua para tornar visiveis processos organizacionais que confrontam as multiplas expressoes concretas da colonialidade e que, ao mesmo tempo, seja relevante para as comunidades e coletivos em luta.

TL;DR: In this article, a field study with 2,708 Brazilian physicians, they found support to the alleviating role of LMX, but contrary to what they predicted, this effect is weaker for frontline physicians.
Abstract: During COVID-19 pandemic, physicians are being exposed to unprecedented adverse working conditions that lead to increased occurrence of burnout. While supportive leadership is considered effective in preventing burnout, little is known about the role of leadership in extreme situations. Drawing on leader-member exchange (LMX) theory, we hypothesize that high-LMX relationships lead to lower levels of burnout, as they shape physicians’ perceptions of psychosocial job demands and resources. We also contend that this effect will be stronger for frontline physicians, as they are more exposed to job stressors. In a field study with 2,708 Brazilian physicians, we found support to the alleviating role of LMX, but contrary to what we predicted, we found that this effect is weaker for frontline physicians. Overall, our findings reinforce the importance of establishing high-quality relationships between supervisors and medical staff to mitigate the experience of burnout, however, they also highlight that extreme conditions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, might constrain the beneficial effects of leadership behaviors.

TL;DR: In this sense, we are not looking for a definition of what teaching and research are or should be; rather we are moving towards a diverse construction of reflexive directions in the hope that these processes can become more inclusive in the face of the unequal Brazilian reality as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: This article reflects on teaching and research in Organizational Studies (OS) in the Brazilian context. The notes worked on here are just a few among many, reinforcing the plurality of views, perspectives, and epistemological foundations that comprise the field. In this sense, we are not looking for a definition of what teaching and research are or should be; rather, we are moving towards a diverse construction of reflexive directions in the hope that these processes can become more inclusive in the face of the unequal Brazilian reality.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the Southern Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul state) brewing market to describe the interconnection of craft (alternative) and mass (hegemonic) dimensions, and observe a constant process of overflowing and realignment of tensions and practices that enable the coexistence of different dimensions around a common market configuration.
Abstract: Recent studies have shown that market construction is a dynamic process involving multiple actors in hegemonic and alternative positions. To understand the interconnection of these positions, the study aims to analyze how the dynamics of configuration and reconfiguration of a market frame the hegemonic and alternative positions in a multidimensional system. Using an interpretative approach, we examine the Southern Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul state) brewing market to describe the interconnection of craft (alternative) and mass (hegemonic) dimensions. We observe a constant process of overflowing and realignment of tensions and practices that enable the coexistence of different dimensions around a common market configuration. The results allow theorizing about a specific type of connection—covalent—between the multiple market dimensions, in which the practices of actors repel and attract both dimensions constantly, without definitive stabilization around a single dimension.

TL;DR: In this regard, the need to avoid importation of conceptual models and solve the historical tension in the Administration field has emerged in the Western world has emerged as discussed by the authors, which led to a real investigation program that shows promising signs of vitality in Latin-American OS and a strong process of institutionalization of their own paradigm.
Abstract: espanolEn este articulo, nos proponemos realizar una reflexion de caracter teorico acerca del derrotero de los Estudios Organizacionales en Latinoamerica con el fin de presentar una agenda de investigacion que atienda a las necesidades, asi como las particularidades de nuestra region. En este sentido, se presenta la necesidad de evitar la importacion de modelos conceptuales surgidos en el mundo anglosajon asi como de resolver la historica tension con el campo de la Administracion. Para eso, el rompimiento paradigmatico que emergio en los EO en todo el mundo durante la decada del 60, tuvo su correlato regional en los ultimos anos, lo que confluyo en un verdadero programa de investigacion que, si bien aun no esta consolidado, muestra signos de vitalidad que le auguran a los EO Latinoamericanos un fuerte proceso de institucionalizacion de un paradigma que le es propio. EnglishThis paper theoretically reflects on the direction of Organizational Studies (OS) in Latin America and presents an investigation agenda to meet the needs and particularities of our region. In this regard, the need to avoid importation of conceptual models and solve the historical tension in the Administration field has emerged in the Western world. The paradigmatic break that arose in OS during the 1960s had its regional correlate in the last years. This led to a real investigation program that shows promising signs of vitality in Latin-American OS and a strong process of institutionalization of their own paradigm.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze how the improvisations performed by circus artists fit into the daily routine of circus and show management, and apply the qualitative research approach to multiple case analysis, using asymmetric observations of the routine of 31 traveling circuses in southeastern Brazil and semi-structured interviews with 116 circus artists.
Abstract: portuguesO objetivo deste artigo foi compreender como a improvisacao realizada pelos artistas circenses se insere no cotidiano da gestao do circo e do espetaculo. Sob a perspectiva qualitativa de investigacao aplicada na analise de multicasos, os dados foram produzidos mediante observacoes assistematicas no cotidiano de 31 circos itinerantes localizados na regiao sudeste do Brasil e de entrevistas semiestruturadas com 116 artistas circenses, e a analise de dados foi feita por meio da analise de narrativas. As improvisacoes aparecem tanto na conducao do espetaculo como dentro deste. Elas estao vinculadas ao poder de afetar ou nao o publico que assiste as pecas e de preencher um vacuo na conducao da performance circense, que cria condicoes para possiveis enredos. O espetaculo se metamorfisa, entao, em varias possiblidades: encurtando, empurrando, apressando, picoteando. Agenciamentos esses que possibilitam maliciosamente a improvisacao de ocorrer, desenhando outros espetaculos. EnglishThis article aims to understand how the improvisations performed by circus artists fit into the daily routine of circus and show management. Applying the qualitative research approach to multiple case analysis, data were collected through asymmetric observations of the routine of 31 traveling circuses in southeastern Brazil and semi-structured interviews with 116 circus artists. The data were analyzed using the narrative analysis method. The improvisations occur in both the management and performance of the circus show and are linked to its power to affect (or to not affect) audiences and fill a void in the conduction of the circus performance, which creates the conditions for potential plots. Therefore, the circus spectacle morphs into various possibilities, whether shortened, expanded, rushed, or split into parts, and these assemblages maliciously allow the occurrence of improvisations and different show designs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the entrepreneurial slant of the Production and Commerce Development Corporation of Chile (CORFO) and examine the post-dictatorial government's principles justifying current state policy.
Abstract: portuguesA literatura sobre a relacao entre estado e empreendedorismo mostra que o estado possui um papel positivo na configuracao das condicoes para empreendedorismo e promocao do crescimento economico por meio da atividade empresarial. No entanto, a questao de como a intervencao estatal e justificada no empreendedorismo em regimesneoliberais tem recebido pouca atencao, apesar de legitimar politicas publicas. No presente estudo, analisando entrevistas com autoridades estatais da Corporacao de Desenvolvimento de Comercio e Producao Chilena (CORFO), declaracoes publicas e documentacao oficial, examinamos o advento das politicas pro-empreendedorismo noneoliberal Chile e exploramos os principios que justificam a politica do estado nos governos pos-ditatoriais. Essa politica estabelece uma dupla despolitizacao: i) despojar o empreendimento de filiacao politica e ii) difundir uma retorica meritocratica imbuida de desenvolvimento social, autorrealizacao e cega as desigualdades estruturais. Argumentamos que a intervencao no empreendedorismo se justifica como uma politica para o bem comum. EnglishStudies show that the state plays a positive role in shaping conditions for entrepreneurship and promoting economicgrowth through entrepreneurial activity. However, the question of how state intervention in entrepreneurshipis justified in neoliberal regimes has received scant attention, although it can legitimize public policies. We examinethe entrepreneurial slant of the Production and Commerce Development Corporation of Chile (CORFO), whichimplements regulations and grants financial support to startups. Analyzing interviews with CORFO’s state officials,public statements, and official documentation, we review the advent of state-led entrepreneurial policy andexplore the post-dictatorial government’s principles justifying current state policy. This policy relies on doublede-politicization: i) divesting entrepreneurship from political affiliation and ii) propagating a meritocratic rhetoricof social and individual development, oblivious of structural inequalities. We argue that this is functional for thisregime as long as it guarantees state intervention in entrepreneurship as a policy of common good.

TL;DR: The authors of as discussed by the authors view collective self-criticism as essential to the evolution of researchers of Organizational Studies (OS), a field that needs to forge desirable horizons for itself.
Abstract: EnglishThe following texts, versions of those presented at a free session of the Sixth Brazilian Congress of Organizational Studies (CBEO), view collective self-criticism as essential to the evolution of researchers of Organizational Studies (OS), a field that needs to forge desirable horizons for itself. They also invite peers to reflect on our recent trajectory, in particular on: (1) inheritances, contrasts and demarcations regarding OS’ parent discipline, Administration; (2) a possibility of growth when we are touched by academic virtue; (3) the challenges and propositions which may arise from a recent editorial experience; and, finally, (4) new work directions for a research group to become more effective and articulate in its teaching, research and outreach actions. In the end, an effort at reflective summary is added. portuguesOs textos que se seguem, versoes daqueles proferidos em sessao livre do VI Congresso Brasileiro de Estudos Organizacionais (CBEO), tomam a autocritica coletiva como imprescindivel a evolucao dos pesquisadores de Estudos Organizacionais (EOR), que precisa forjar horizontes desejaveis para si propria, e convidam os pares a reflexao acerca da nossa trajetoria recente, em particular sobre: (1) herancas, tensionamentos e demarcacoes de distância em relacao a sua disciplina-mae, a Administracao; (2) uma possibilidade de crescimento ao sermos tocados pela virtude academica; (3) os desafios enfrentados e as proposicoes que podem advir de uma experiencia editorial recente; e, por fim, (4) novos direcionamentos a atuacao de um grupo de pesquisa para se fazer mais efetivo e articulado em suas acoes de ensino, pesquisa e extensao.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define reflexivity as questioning taken-for-granted assumptions, practices, policies, and so on, which offers a way of developing more critical and responsible approaches to our intellectual strategies and to practical activities within the academic and corporate world.
Abstract: EnglishWe live in a world where we are experiencing an increasing number of environmental disasters,social injustice, corporate scandals, and questionable leadership ethics. The issue I would liketo address in this article is how we, as educators and researchers, might respond to or engageproactively with these issues. One approach is encouraging our students to become more reflexive, and to become more reflexive ourselves as researchers. I believe that reflexivity is becoming an increasingly important resource in organization studies. Defined as questioning taken-for-granted assumptions, practices, policies, and so on, reflexivity offers a way of developing more critical and responsible approaches to our intellectual strategies and to practical activities within the academic and corporate world. I will begin by summarizing some of the criticisms of business school education and the challenges we face as researchers and go on to define and discuss how reflexivity can help us engage with these criticisms in a productive manner. portuguesVivemos em um mundo onde estamos experimentando um numero crescente de desastres ambientais, injustica social, escândalos corporativos e liderancas com etica questionavel. A questao que eu gostaria de abordar neste artigo e como nos podemos responder ou nos envolver proativamente com essas questoes como educadores e pesquisadores. Uma abordagem e incentivar nossos alunos a se tornarem mais reflexivos como pesquisadores. Acredito que a reflexividade esta se tornando um recurso cada vez mais importante nos Estudos Organizacionais. Definida como o questionamento de pressupostos, praticas, politicas etc., a reflexividade fornece uma forma alternativa de desenvolver abordagens mais criticas e responsaveis para nossas estrategias intelectuais e atividades praticas dentro do mundo academico e corporativo. Comecarei apresentando de maneira sucinta algumas das criticas a educacao promovida por escolas de negocios e os desafios que enfrentamos como pesquisadores, e continuarei definindo e discutindo como a reflexividade pode nos ajudar a nosenvolvermos com essas criticas de modo produtivo.
TL;DR: The SOS-PME Advisory Network as mentioned in this paper was originally designed to assist small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to look for alternatives to survive during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Abstract: espanolLos efectos economicos de las politicas de aislamiento de la pandemia de COVID-19 han llevado a las pequenas y medianas empresas (PYMEs) a buscar alternativas para sobrevivir. En un escenario de crisis, una universidad comprometida desempena un papel importante para abordar, no solo los problemas de salud, sino tambien los problemas sociales y economicos en un contexto regional. En este articulo, se analiza un proyecto universidad-comunidad con la intencion de senalar los elementos necesarios para promover una universidad regional comprometida: la Red de Asesoramiento SOS-PME, originalmente disenado para apoyar a las PYMEs durante la crisis. Una universidad comprometida necesita llevar adelante acciones mas alla de sus misiones tradicionales de educacion e investigacion; debe transferir conocimiento a la sociedad. Como resultado, identificamos cuales son los elementos necesarios para promover la tercera mision de una universidad con compromiso social: equipo comprometido, gestion de proyectos, agilidad, alianzas, multidisciplinariedad, estrategia de comunicacion y apoyo, y reputacion de la institucion. EnglishThe economic effects of isolation policies resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have led small andmedium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to look for alternatives to survive. Within this crisis scenario, an engaged university has an important role to play in a regional context in addressing not only health issues, but also any resultant social and economic problems. An engaged university needs to take actions that go beyond its traditional missions of education and research - it has to deliver knowledge to society. This paper analyzes a university-community project in Brazil to identify the necessary elements that help promote a regionally-engaged university: the SOS-PME Advisory Network project, which was originally designed to assist SMEsduring the crisis. As a result, we identified elements necessary for promoting the university’s third mission - social engagement by way of a university-community project: an engaged team, multidisciplinarity, project management, agility, alliances, a communication strategy, institutional support, and reputation. portuguesEfeitos economicos das politicas de isolamento da pandemia da Covid-19 levaram pequenas e mediasempresas (PMEs) a buscar alternativas para sobreviver. Em cenarios de crise, uma universidade engajada tem um papel importante ao abordar nao apenas questoes de saude, mas tambem problemassociais e economicos em contextos regionais. Neste artigo, um projeto de universidade-comunidade eanalisado com o intuito de apontar os elementos necessarios para promover uma universidade regional engajada: a Rede de Assessoria SOS-PME, originalmente projetada para apoiar PMEs durante a crise. Uma universidade engajada entrega conhecimento para a sociedade, alem de educacao e pesquisa. Como resultado, identificam-se elementos para promover a terceira missao da universidade engajada – engajamento social: equipe engajada, multidisciplinaridade, gerenciamento de projetos, agilidade,aliancas, estrategia de comunicacao, e suporte e reputacao da instituicao.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study whether financial and accounting disclosure affect firm value by focusing on the full adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in Brazil in 2010 and find that IFRS adoption has a positive impact of approximately 30 percentage points on Tobin's Q and 26 percent on market-to-book ratios for firms in the lower governance tiers.
Abstract: EnglishWe study whether financial and accounting disclosure affect firm value by focusing on the full adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in Brazil in 2010. We compare firms with ex-ante lower accounting quality (firms in the Regular and Level 1 tiers of corporate governance) with otherwise similar firms that had already complied with higher-quality accounting standards (firms in the Level 2 and Novo Mercado tiers). IFRS adoption has a positive impact of approximately 30 percentage points on Tobin´s Q and 26 percentage points on market-to-book ratios for firms in the lower governance tiers, and substantially reduces the valuation gap between firms in the higher and lower tiers of corporate governance. This reduction in the valuation gap after IFRS adoption is explained by the relative increase in foreign ownership and stock liquidity of firms in the lower governance tiers. portuguesEstudamos se o nivel de divulgacao contabil e financeiro afeta o valor da firma, focando a adocao do padrao IFRS no Brasil em 2010. Comparamos firmas com pior qualidade contabil ex-ante (no nivel regular e nivel 1 de governanca corporativa) com firmas similares que ja adotavam o IFRS antes de se tornar mandatorio (Nivel 2 e Novo Mercado). Encontramos que a adocao do IFRS tem um impacto positivo de aproximadamente 30 pontos percentuais no Q de Tobin e 26 pontos percentuais na razao entre valor de mercado e valor patrimonial para firmas nos niveis mais baixos de governanca, e reduz substancialmente a diferenca de valuation entre firmas nos niveis altos e baixos de governanca corporativa. Essa reducao na diferenca de valuation e parcialmente explicada pelo aumento relativo na participacao de estrangeiros no capital acionario e na liquidez das acoes das firmas nos niveis mais baixos de governanca corporativa.
TL;DR: In this paper, a survey foi realizada com funcionarios da maior startup financeira brasileira and, na analise dos dados, aplicou-se modelagem de equacoes estruturais e fuzzy-set QCA.
Abstract: RESUMO Pandemias suscitam cenarios de incerteza que afligem ate mesmo pessoas acostumadas a promover congruen cia de informacoes, como em empresas fintechs. Assim, objetiva-se investigar os efeitos do compartilhamento vertical da informacao na mitigacao da inseguranca no trabalho e no engajamento no trabalho, moderada pela credibilidade da informacao de midias sociais sobre pandemia. Uma survey foi realizada com funcionarios da maior startup financeira brasileira e, na analise dos dados, aplicou-se modelagem de equacoes estruturais e fuzzy-set QCA. Os resultados apontam que compartilhamento vertical da informacao mitiga inseguranca no trabalho e exerce efeitos no engajamento no trabalho. Compartilhamento vertical da informacao e ausencia da inseguranca sao, respectivamente, quase sempre e sempre necessarias, e suficientes para alto engajamento no trabalho. Ademais, a credibilidade da informacao modera a relacao entre inseguranca e engajamento no trabalho. Esses resultados proporcionam contribuicoes ao revelar efeitos de antecedentes da inseguranca e do engajamento no trabalho num periodo singular de pandemia.
TL;DR: In this paper, a self-critical retrospection exercise about what Organizational Studies are within the Latin American context is performed, in search of a "friction" that gives continuity to that path of growth.
Abstract: espanolEste articulo tiene como objetivo realizar un ejercicio de retrospeccion autocritica sobre los Estudios Organizacionales enmarcados en el contexto latinoamericano. Su desarrollo e incidencia en la region ha crecido y se ha consolidado –aunque no en todos los paises al mismo nivel y profundidad– como un campo de conocimiento critico para el estudio de las organizaciones. No obstante, hay algunos asuntos aun sin resolver sobre los cuales es necesario debatir. Es asi como se retoma la expresion de Wittgenstein para formular algunas preguntas fundamentales, en relacion con su identidad y proyeccion, en discuten algunos aspectos constitutivos de los Estudios Organizacionales. Las reflexiones permitiran, no solo ahondar en este campo de conocimiento sino, tambien, contribuir con los investigadores y estudiosos de las organizaciones en la region a construir una posicion propia sobre el asunto. EnglishThe aim of this paper is to do a self-critical retrospection exercise about what Organizational Studies (OS) are within the Latin American context. Their development and incidence in the region have increased and consolidated --although not in all countries at the same level and extent --as a critical field of knowledge to study organizations. However, there are some unresolved matters that need to be addressed and discussed; that is why Wittgenstein's (1986) expression is retaken to formulate some fundamental questions regarding the OS identity and projection in the region, in search of a "friction" that gives continuity to that path of growth. In addition, some constitutive aspects of OS are discussed. Reflections will allow organization experts and researchers not only to delve into this field of knowledge, but also to build a stance of their own on OS in the region.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate if integrated reporting follow properly the requirements established by the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) or only disclose following some guiding principles influenced by some other variables.
Abstract: espanolEl objetivo de este trabajo es comprobar si efectivamente se esta revelando la informacion integrada de forma completa segun las directrices del IIRC y si esta priorizacion esta influenciada por otras variables. Para ello, se ha analizado una muestra compuesta por todos los informes integrados elaborados de forma voluntaria disponibles en la base de datos del IIRC a 1 de abril de 2017, para el periodo 2011 2015, formada por 174 informes. Como principales conclusiones se puede resaltar que el cumplimiento de los requisitos del IIRC es bajo y heterogeneo, y que efectivamente se esta revelando informacion sobre determinadas directrices frente a otras. Existen principios basicos de la informacion integrada que estan determinados principalmente por el momento en el que se publico el Marco Conceptual del IIRC, y la materialidad se utiliza dependiendo del tipo de empresa. EnglishThe objective of this paper is to check if integrated reporting follow properly the requirements established by IIRC or only disclose following some guiding principles influenced by some other variables. We have studied a sample in which are included all the voluntarily issued integrated reports available at the IIRC database at 1st April 2017, for the period 2011-2015, what means 174 integrated reports. The mainconclusions are that the compliance with IIRC guiding principles is low and heterogeneous, and that are principles mainly followed in front of others not followed. There are core principles of the integrated reporting that are determined by the date of publication of the IIRC framework, and that materiality is used depending on the kind of company. portuguesEl objetivo de este trabajo es comprobar si efectivamente se esta revelando la informacion integrada de forma completa segun las directrices del International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) y si esta priorizacion esta influenciada por otras variables.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the possibilities that Viveiros de Castro's concept of Amerindian perspectivism offers to organizational studies, and reflect on the consequences that our onto-epistemological choices will have on our research from the Other's point of view.
Abstract: This essay discusses the possibilities that Viveiros de Castro's concept of Amerindian perspectivism offers to Organizational Studies. Oswald de Andrdade's Anthropophagous Manifesto is the guiding thread of our investigation. Amerindian perspectivism suggests a reflexive shift to the position occupied by the object of inquiry which thus becomes the subject from which we must question our own premises. What matters is knowing how our subject / former object perceives our categories / concepts created to describe it. For Viveiros de Castro, the reflexive displacement should occur considering an intentional equivocity. Therefore, we must reflect on the consequences that our onto-epistemological choices will have on our research from the Other's point of view. The concepts of reflexive displacement and intentional equivocity have much to contribute to the construction of the other in EOR and to the concept of border thinking in decolonial studies.
TL;DR: In this article, the amount of damage from the dysfunctional behavior can affect the probability of the domino effect, and the acceptability of the dysfunctional behaviour is explained by the consumer's ethics level, perception of risk in replicating the behavior, and social distance.
Abstract: The interaction between dysfunctional customers and other customers can cause the domino effect (i.e., the dissemination of a dysfunctional client’s behavior to other nearby clients). However, it is not understood if this effect will manifest under certain levels of damage to the company. This study thus aims to verify if the amount of damage from the dysfunctional behavior can affect the probability of the domino effect. Through five experimental studies, we prove that the amount of damage influences the likelihood of dysfunctional behavior replication. Moreover, we found that this effect is explained by the acceptability of the dysfunctional behavior. We also identify that a consumer’s ethics level, perception of risk in replicating the behavior, and social distance acts as boundary conditions of the amount of damage effect on the probability of replicating the dysfunctional behavior.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze how temporal perceptions influence pleasure and suffering in the work of prostitutes in Belo Horizonte (MG) and find that the effective management of time generated money which was the main source of pleasure from their work.
Abstract: This study aims to analyze how temporal perceptions influence pleasure and suffering in the work of prostitutes in Belo Horizonte (MG). A descriptive and qualitative case study was carried out. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 professionals from "battle hotels" and analyzed using content analysis. The interviewed prostitutes associated time as a resource, and this was linked to experiences of pleasure and suffering, in the sense that the effective management of time generatedmoney which was the main source of pleasure from their work . The working time of the prostitutes was also a source of suffering because they normalized or accepted discomfort from their work and the consequences that it entailed.

TL;DR: In this article, a relato biografico de Minga, a colectivo academico de Estudios Organizacionales en Chile, is presented.
Abstract: RESUMEN Este articulo aborda la experiencia, historia y particularidades tras el proceso de conformacion de Minga, un grupo academico de Estudios Organizacionales en Chile. Siguiendo una metodologia historico-narrativa se construye un relato biografico de este grupo, en el cual sus protagonistas participan como investigadores/as y autores/as del proceso. Para analizar este relato se adopta una mirada decolonial, indagando simultaneamente en los estilos de liderazgo y la red de conocimiento que esta experiencia moviliza, haciendo un paralelo con la tradicion de la minga chilota. Los resultados muestran como la pregunta por los Estudios Organizacionales en Chile coincide con un proceso de desprendimiento epistemico del norte global, a traves del cual se va consolidando en Minga el liderazgo colectivo y compartido entre sus miembros, asi como su funcionamiento como una red academica interorganizacional. Las conclusiones recorren algunos de los aprendizajes que la historia y conformacion de este grupo ofrecen para otros colectivos con similares intenciones en el campo de los Estudios Organizacionales en Latinoamerica.

Abstract: RESUMO O enfrentamento da crise da Covid-19 ressaltou a importância do olhar critico e sistemico para a atuacao empresarial para sustentabilidade. Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir a sustentabilidade, atraves das lentes teoricas de sustentabilidade “forte” e “fraca” e suas relacoes com os paradigmas economicos; apresentar a teoria da resiliencia como alternativa frente aos atuais desafios; e analisar, com base nos conceitos apresentados, indicios de como as organizacoes estao reagindo inicialmente, em suas atuacoes com sustentabilidade, a crise da Covid-19. Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com empresas que atuam no Brasil. Como resultado, indicios de realinhamento ao proposito inicial da empresa de criar valor para a sociedade coexistem com indicios de continuidade da aposta em solucoes via mercado e da busca por crescimento infinito em um planeta com recursos limitados.
TL;DR: The future of work today is deeply uncertain, and this uncertainty must be acknowledged without letting it paralyze the sociological imagination or depoliticize social action while the front line often receives attention and applause when it consists of medical workers and without translating into material benefits for those workers as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: [ ]the future of work today is deeply uncertain, and this uncertainty must be acknowledged without letting it paralyze the sociological imagination or depoliticize social action While the front line often receives attention and applause when it consists of medical workers (and without necessarily translating into material benefits for those workers), precarious workers in transport and delivery, food and agricultural production, and other manual-labor sectors constitute an "invisible front line " In many cases, such as industrial food production, these workers exist within spaces that are at risk for infection and many pay with their lives (Waltenberg, Victoroff, Rose et al , 2020) [ ]in economies with large informal sectors, small-business retailers and other informal jobs have continued in the face of crisis, with the workers therein assuming similar risks [ ]as unemployment figures soar to unprecedented levels in much of the world (Blustein et al , 2020;Coibion, Gorodnichenko, & Weber, 2020), the boundary between work and life becomes a wall separating bare life from the possibility of materially earning a living
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of consumers' previous knowledge on post-decision information search were studied and it was shown that consumers search for more information at the postdecision stage, even when the decision cannot be modified.
Abstract: Nowadays consumers have more previous knowledge about products and services before making decisions. This study sheds light on the effects of consumers’ previous knowledge on post-decision information search. Previous studies argue that cognitive dissonance and feelings of regret or dissatisfaction elicit this search. However, we show through one experimental and two correlational studies that this view is incomplete. Our findings indicate that knowledgeable consumers search for more information at the post-decision stage, even when the decision cannot be modified. This main effect is stronger (weaker) for maximizers (satisficers). Also, cognitive dissonance affects the post-decision information search behavior. Therefore, we suggest a new variable, consumers’ previous knowledge, for consideration in the post-decision information search model.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze the relationship between portfolio diversity and the firm's innovative performance, especially when RD the study also identifies the nature of relationship between such moderators, and reveal an inverted U-shaped curvilinear relationship between APD and innovative performance.
Abstract: The main objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between Alliance Portfolio Diversity (APD) and the firm's innovative performance, especially when RD the study also identifies the nature of the relationship between such moderators. It applies econometric methods to a database comprised of 13,020 companies from Brazilian industry. The results reveal an inverted U-shaped curvilinear relationship between APD and innovative performance, as well as the effective positive moderation of this relationship by the RDCAP and the SCA. This research contributes to the literature on firm knowledge, especially theories of open innovation and absorptive capacity (AC). The former is progressing to emerging economic contexts and the second, contributing a new way of understanding AC by investigating its spatial dimensions, in addition to the skills and competencies dimensions.
TL;DR: In a recent work as discussed by the authors, the authors investigated a frequencia as Academias ao Ar livre (AALs) por parte dos idosos molda suas praticas de consumo e (re)inventa o seu cotidiano.
Abstract: O objetivo deste trabalho e compreender como a frequencia as Academias ao Ar Livre (AALs) por parte dos idosos molda suas praticas de consumo e (re)inventa o seu cotidiano. Como suporte teorico, adotamos uma abordagem interdisciplinar entre pos-modernismo e estudos de cultura de consumo com a teoria das praticas cotidianas de Michel de Certeau. A pesquisa e de natureza qualitativa, e as informacoes foram coletadas com idosos frequentadores de AALs. As analises seguiram a concepcao da pesquisa interpretativista para organizacao e categorizacao das informacoes. A frequencia a AAL revelou-se como ponto de partida para a (re)invencao do cotidiano dos idosos. Essa (re)invencao do cotidiano ocorre a partir de novas praticas de consumo que emergem por meio dos desdobramentos de uma nova dinâmica na vida deles. Ao final, indicamos nova possibilidade de investigacao teorica em estudos de consumo relacionados com praticas, alem da relevância apresentada no âmbito social.
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of 557 empresas peruanas de manufactura that presentan una menor intensidad tecnologica, se aplico un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales.
Abstract: RESUMEN En la ultima decada, la innovacion no tecnologica ha llamado mucho el interes de los investigadores. Este tipo de innovacion incluye la organizacional y comercial. El presente estudio se enfoca en dos objetivos principales: identificar la relacion entre las fuentes externas de conocimiento y la innovacion en producto, organizacional y comercial; y analizar como la innovacion en producto y organizacional median la relacion entre las fuentes externas de conocimiento y la innovacion comercial. Actualmente, los estudios sobre este tipo de innovacion no presentan su real impacto e importancia para las empresas de manufactura, por lo que es importante prestarle atencion. Usando los datos de 557 empresas peruanas de manufactura que presentan una menor intensidad tecnologica, se aplico un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados mostraron que las fuentes externas de conocimiento estan relacionadas con la innovacion en producto y organizacional. Por ello, los gerentes deben impulsar las innovaciones en producto que favorezcan el desarrollo de innovaciones comerciales en la empresa.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated which response strategies are employed to protect organizational reputation in the online environment, and found that companies prefer to apologize, hide the original message, respond inbox, or simply ignore the negative comments from consumers.
Abstract: The digital age has changed how brands communicate and interact with their consumers, and intensified the influence of negative word of mouth on a brand’s reputation. This study investigates which response strategies are employed to protect organizational reputation in the online environment. Accordingly, data were collected in two ways. First, ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with brand managers to identify strategies to minimize negative word of mouth in social media. Second, social media content of brands managed by the agencies were collected to determine if any other strategies were carried out. As a result in negative word of mouth companies prefer to apologize, hide the original message, respond inbox, or simply ignore the negative comments from consumers.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of loss aversion and mental accounting in POS materials on supermarket sales was investigated and the results revealed a positive and significant effect on sales only for the cognitive bias applied to the POS materials.
Abstract: Competition among different brands in supermarkets motivates consumer goods companies to develop and implement and activate merchandising materials at the point of sales (POS). These merchandising materials attempt to influence shoppers and promote sales. On the other hand, behavioral economics studies the decision-making of individuals based on their preferences and beliefs, influenced by cognitivebias. This study attempts to understand the effect of loss aversion and mental accounting in POS materials on supermarket sales. We conduct two experiments with a consumer brand in a supermarket chain. The results reveal a positive and significant effect on sales only for the cognitive bias of loss aversion, applied to the POS materials.
