- The development of the welfare state in Portugal : trends in social expenditure between 1938 and 2003Publication . Carolo, Daniel Fernando; Pereirinha, José AntónioThis paper presents a data series on social expenditure in Portugal for the period 1938-2003. The series was built with the aim of identifying and characterizing the most significant phases in the process leading up to the current welfare state system in this country. The establishment of a social insurance (Prevideˆncia) in 1935 was one of the founding pillars of the Estado Novo (New State). Reforms to Social Welfare (Prevideˆncia Social) in 1962, while in the full throes of the New State, policy measures taken after the revolution of 1974 and a new orientation for social policy following the accession of Portugal to the European Economic Community (EEC) in the mid-1980s brought about significant transformations in the institutional organizational structure that provided welfare and conferred social rights in Portugal. To understand this process, knowledge is needed of the transfor mations to the institutional structures governing the organizations that provided welfare, welfare coverage in terms of the type of benefit and the population entitled to social risk protection, the magnitude of spending on benefits associated with these risks, as well as how benefits were allocated between the institutions. We built a data series for the period 1938-1980, which can then be matched to data already published in the OECD Social Expenditure Database from 1980 onwards. As a result, a consistent series for social expenditure from 1938 to 2003 was obtained. The methodology used to create the series enabled us to measure the impact of the variation in population coverage for social risks and the average generosity of benefits on the relative share of social expenditure in GDP. We present an interpretive reading for the full period, covering the New State and the Democracy from 1974, of the process of building the welfare state in Portugal.
- The Demonstration Effect within the Realm of Creative ChaosPublication . Roth, RogérioThis research proposes to investigate the called demonstration effect as the more efficient method to overcoming professors resistance to the adoption of interactive technologies applied to education, as much in the support to the face-to-face and distance practices, as well as in its diverse environments and platforms, videoconferences, production, management and distribution of live and on-demand contents, exploring the spectre of collaboration opportunities that includes the independence of time, distance and equipments. Considering that the technological solutions are known and available, their effective use and its institutionalization only will be able to be obtained through presentation and the systematically repetition of a set of procedures, in domino, cascade or in chain effect, producing a set of similar events of variable duration.
- Perfil sociodemográfico e motivos do espectador de basquetebolPublication . Biscaia, Rui Daniel Gaspar Neto; Correia, Abel Hermínio Lourenço; Rosado, António Fernando BoletoO objectivo deste estudo foi identificar as motivações dos espectadores de basquetebol e o seu perfil sociodemográfico. Recolheram-se 459 questionários em oito jogos dos play-offs 2008 da Liga de Clubes de Basquetebol em Portugal e através duma análise factorial identificou-se que o sentimento de pertença à equipa e cidade, escape, família, conhecimento do jogo, apreciar as habilidades técnicas dos jogadores, interesse nos jogadores e drama são os motivos mais importantes. Na análise sociodemográfica verificou-se uma grande variabilidade entre espectadores de acordo com a idade, género, habilitações literárias, agregado familiar, rendimentos, proximidade geográfica, número de acompanhantes e prática de basquetebol.
- Members’ segmentation, service quality and behabioral intentions: a case study of a professional football teamPublication . Biscaia, Rui Daniel Gaspar Neto; Correia, Abel Hermínio Lourenço; Menezes, Vilde Gomes de; Rosado, António Fernando Boleto; Colaço, Carlos Jorge PinheiroThis study aims to identify segments of members in a professional football team, and to compare service quality perceptions and behavioral intentions among these segments. The members registered in the club’s database were invited to complete a survey including demographic questions, measures of consumer behavior, service quality, and behavioral intentions. The results from a sample of 6820 participants allowed the identification of three distinct segments, named as ‘Occasional’, ‘Die-hard’, and ‘Weekend Lovers’. Results also indicate that these three segments of members showed statistically significant differences regarding service quality perceptions and behavioral intentions. Managerial implications of these results are discussed and suggestions for future research are provided.
