- A Satisfação, o Comprometimento e a Intenção de Turnover na retenção de colaboradores: Estudo exploratório numa organização do setor da construção civilPublication . Casalinho, Daniela Filipa Moreira; Sousa, Andrea Isabel Oliveira da Costa eO turnover tornou-se uma preocupação crescente nas organizações. A empresa ABC, do setor da construção civil, enfrenta níveis elevados de turnover e procura identificar se os fatores como a satisfação, comprometimento organizacional e atributos sociodemográficos podem influenciar a intenção de saída dos seus colaboradores. Foi adotada uma metodologia mista, que integrou questionários com escalas validadas, no âmbito da satisfação no trabalho, comprometimento organizacional e intenção de turnover (Siqueira, 2008; Meyer & Allen, 1991; Sul & Lucas, 2020), e entrevistas a colaboradores, ex-colaboradores e Administração. Os resultados encontrados demonstram que, embora a maioria dos colaboradores expressem satisfação no trabalho, os seus níveis de comprometimento organizacional são dispersos, verificando-se alguma tendência para permanecer na organização, apesar de se encontrarem indicadores de intenção de turnover que merecem reflexão. Foram ainda apuradas evidências estatísticas de que o comprometimento desempenha um papel mediador relevante na relação entre a satisfação e a intenção de turnover, dos colaboradores. Os resultados impulsionaram a procura da sistematização de ações que possam potenciar práticas de retenção de colaboradores, que valorizem estratégias de gestão de pessoas relacionadas, essencialmente, com aspetos monetários e emocionais, como é exemplo o plano de progressão de carreira e o sistema de avaliação de desempenho.
- Tourist Preferences in Latin AmericaPublication . Santos, Eleonora; Carvalho, Milena; Martins, Susana; Carvalho, Ana Branca; Castro, Maria João; Mesquita, Anabela; Silva, PaulinoIn today's era of digital transformation, understanding tourism preferences is crucial for enhancing the travel experience. The way travelers get, analyze, and apply information to plan their trips has been completely transformed by information and communication technologies (ICTs). Features like accessibility, attractions , amenities, and prices influence travelers' choice regarding their destination and according to the Information Search Theory, travelers look up a lot of information in order to lower uncertainty and improve the quality of their decisions. This study examines the intricate interplay of factors influencing tourist preferences in Latin America, focusing on the role of hotel ratings, location, attractions, and accessibility. Drawing on regression analysis of data from Booking.com across six Latin American countries , including Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Brazil, the research identifies distinct tourist profiles and their preferences. Novel findings include a preference for lower-rated hotels among certain segments, a trade-off between accessibility and destination characteristics, and a prioritization of accessibility over the diversity of attractions for some travelers. These insights have significant implications for tourism management, suggesting targeted marketing strategies, product development initiatives, infrastructure investments, and collaborative partnerships to enhance the overall visitor experience and promote sustainable tourism development in the region.
- The relationship between coaches’ interpersonal behaviors, basic psychological needs, behavioral regulation, and intentions towards sport persistencePublication . Monteiro, Diogo; Teixeira, Diogo S.; Morales-Sanchéz, Veronica; Chica-Merino, Encarnación; Matos, Rui; Amaro, Nuno; Antunes, Raul; Jacinto, MiguelThis study investigates the relationships between coaches’ need-supportive and need-thwarting behaviors, satisfaction of basic psychological needs, motivation, intentions to continue, and athletes sport persistence. A total of 518 athletes (212 male, 306 female), 18 to 32 years (M = 23.18, SD = 4.19), participated in the study, with participants from football (n = 179), basketball (n = 166), and swimming (n = 173). A structural equation model and a mediation model were performed to understand the associations between motivational factors based on self-determination theory and a 2-year sport persistence assessment. Intentions to continue sport practice accounted for 12% of the variance related to sport persistence in the structural equation model. The mediation model did not reveal any direct effects for need-supportive or need-thwarting behaviors towards sport persistence. However, significant indirect paths were identified in the bright side of the model. Total indirect effect of the need-supportive behaviors in the model was β = .14 (CI95% = .26, .37) while for need-thwarting behaviors was β = −.05 (CI95% = −.11, −.01) towards sport persistence, indicating a positive mediation process. Coaches by being perceived as need-supportive may increase athletes’ intention to continue participating in sport, and consequently sport persistence.
