How virtual are we? Introducing the Team Perceived Virtuality Scale

With the strong proliferation of virtual teams across various organizations and contexts, understanding how virtuality affects teamwork has become fundamental to team and organizational effectiveness. However, current conceptualizations of virtuality rely almost exclusively on more or less fixed, structural features, such as the degree of technology reliance. In this paper, we take a socio-constructivist perspe...

Child sexual abuse attributions: Are they different depending on mothers versus...

Family reactions to child sexual abuse (CSA) are important, but there is a lack of research on the effect of maternal and paternal reactions on social attributions towards the victim and perpetrator. We conducted an experimental study (N = 549, aged 18-76) using vignettes in which the reactions of the mother or father (blame, denial, or support) were manipulated. Statistically significant differences were found...

Participatory artistic practices in southern peripheries: Impacts and challenges

The aim of this chapter is to reflect on the impacts of Stronger Peripheries (SP). !e impact assessment for a project such as this is necessarily complex, multidimensional and requires a time frame and a distance that are not easily compatible with the scope of a four-year project. With this in mind, we structure our panoramic assessment exercise into three deferent—but complementary—levels: (i) a processual ev...

A percepção da GRH pelos trabalhadores em Universidades: Um estudo qualitativo

A Gestão de Recursos Humanos (Keating, 2002; Neves & Gonçalves, 2009)  nas organizações, através de suas práticas, impacta no desempenho individual dos trabalhadores (Massuno & Jacquinet, 2019) e organizacional (Aust et al., 2020), podendo promover comportamentos importantes no trabalho, como o work engagement (WE) e o comportamento inovador (CI), e reduzir a percepção de insegurança no trabalho (J...

Virtual teams: Taking stock and moving forward

The papers in this Special Issue show that virtual teamwork is a complex phenomenon that depends on a multiplicity of team, task, and environmental factors. In this editorial, we begin with a short review of the main perspectives through which virtual teams have been studied. From there, we move to an overview of the papers in this Special Issue. To conclude, we discuss potential avenues for future research bas...

O desenvolvimento local em contextos territoriais de contração: Contributos par...

Neste artigo elabora-se uma análise, essencialmente conceptual, sobre as estratégias de desenvolvimento e os desafios enfrentados por territórios “em contração”, procurando partir de uma compreensão alargada dos fatores que explicam a configuração espacial na atual fase do capitalismo. Por um lado, revisita-se a literatura sobre o desenvolvimento regional e local, procurando questionar a evolução geral das teor...

Socioeconomic status, social support, coping, and fear predict mental health st...

This study aimed at monitoring adults’ mental health status during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic and assessing demographic, socioeconomic, and psychosocial variables as mental health status development's potential predictors. A total of 105 adult...

The ever-changing business of e-commerce-net benefits while designing a new pla...

Electronic commerce has allowed businesses to grow globally by breaking down barriers that many believed could not be overcome. Although large companies often outperform small and medium-sized businesses, e-commerce allows them to compete with them in some areas. Surprisingly, there is a lack of theoretical evidence regarding e-commerce net benefits for a small and medium-sized business that operates in the con...

Temperature and Strong Magnetic Field Effects in Dense Matter

Published version; We study consistently the effects of magnetic field on hot and dense matter. In particular, we look for differences that arise due to assumptions that reproduce the conditions produced in particle collisions or astrophysical scenarios, such as in the core of fully evolved neutron stars (beyond the protoneutron star stage). We assume the magnetic field to be either constant or follow a profile...
