  • Impacto da redução de recompensas no comportamento dos colaboradores: E quando o trabalho é um chamamento?
    Publication . Pitacho, Liliana; Palma, Patrícia; Correia, Pedro
    No cenário global de severa crise económica e financeira, governos e empresas enfrentam um período de grande austeridade o que os conduziu como nunca a elevados cortes dos custos de trabalho, com destaque para o corte e redução das recompensas dos colaboradores. Este artigo apresenta, então, um modelo concetual que teoriza acerca da orientação para o trabalho (Emprego, Carreira e Chamamento) enquanto variável moderadora da relação entre o corte ou redução das recompensas e o comportamento dos colaboradores, nomeadamente, no que ao desempenho e intenção de saída diz respeito. Este modelo acarreta tanto implicações teóricas como práticas, quer para a compreensão do comportamento organizacional, quer para as práticas de gestão de recursos humanos, especialmente, para a gestão das recompensas.

  • Laypeople's decision-making in reporting child maltreatment: Child and family characteristics as a source of bias
    Publication . Calheros, M. M.; Garrido, M. V.; Ferreira, Mário B.; Duarte, Cátia
    Objectives: The process of reporting child maltreatment may be vulnerable to judgment bias, which may, in turn, affect the various stages of the child protection system continuum. In this study, we examine the role of child (gender, race/ethnicity, and age) and family characteristics (family structure and socioeconomic status) in laypeople’s severity assessment and probability of referral of child maltreatment (abuse or neglect). Method: Participants responded to a questionnaire presenting vignettes of abuse or neglect (based on Portuguese legal standards) that varied in the characteristics of the child and the family and assessed either the severity of abuse or severity of neglect, and the probability of referral of each situation. Results: Results indicated pervasive bias. Despite acknowledging the severity of both abuse and neglect situations, the likelihood of reporting maltreatment was higher (a) for female, younger, White, and Black children compared with male, older children and children of Roma ethnicity; and (b) for families with economic difficulties, divorced, single parent, and stepfamilies compared with nuclear families. Conclusions: These results emphasize the importance of studying the referral process of child maltreatment at a community level. We suggest that public awareness may facilitate the referral of maltreatment, minimizing the overreporting and underreporting of cases and encouraging early and preventive intervention.
