En este contexto, el empleo temporal ha sido objetivo de numerosas investigaciones y los contratos temporales han sido empleados como herramientas para conseguir flexibilidad laboral.Discriminación por sexo, empleo temporal, modelos de regresión logística.
How Does Positive Work-Related Stress Affect the Degree of Innovation Development?
Many studies sustain that work-related stress exerts pervasive consequences on the employees’ levels of performance, productivity, and wellbeing. However, it remains unclear whether certain levels of stress might lead to positive outcomes regarding employees’ innovativeness. Hence, this paper examines how the five dimensions of work-related stress impact on the employees’ levels of innovation performance. To this aim, this study focused on a sample of 1487 employees from six Italian companies. To test the research hypotheses under assessment, we relied on the use of the partial least squares (PLS) technique. Our results reveal that, in summary, the stressors job autonomy, job demands, and role ambiguity exert a positive and significant impact on the employees’ levels of innovativeness. However, this study failed to find evidence that the supervisors’ support–innovation and colleagues’ support–innovation links are not statistically significant. View Full-Tex
Understanding the implementation of airbnb in urban contexts: Towards a categorization of european cities
The sharing economy has experienced exponential growth in recent years, especially in
the short-term rentals (STRs) tourist accommodation sector. This growth has caused disruptive
effects in rural and urban contexts, especially in highly touristic cities. These effects can be both
positive and negative, revitalizing certain areas and bringing about tension in the socioeconomic
fabric. Today, Airbnb is considered the paradigm of this sharing economy model and the STR
industry leader. However, as this study suggests, on many occasions the implementation of Airbnb
exhibits more of a traditional economic business model than a collaborative economic business
model. Through hierarchical cluster analysis, this study identifies different groups of European cities
according to the degree of professionalization of Airbnb implementation in their territory. The goal is
to find similar patterns in the Airbnbisation process in major European cities, as the social, economic,
and spatial impacts of various typologies are very different and even contrary. By understanding
and identifying such different models implemented in each territory, better policies can be informed,
and more adapted strategies can be pursued by local governments and the tourism industry
Using Bibliometric Methods to Shed Light on the Concept of Sustainable Tourism
The publication of the Brundtland report in 1987 introduced the concept of sustainable development, placing “sustainability” as a unifying idea for all academic disciplines. Consequently, in the tourism sector, sustainable tourism emerged as a new approach to research in the field. Since then, the body of literature on sustainable tourism has only increased, as has the discussion around the conceptual structure of sustainable tourism among academics and professionals. The aim of the study is to complement this theoretical discussion with an inductive approach to the limits of the conceptual structure of sustainable tourism. To do so, we identify the main research topics in the field and their evolution in the past 32 years through bibliometric methods such as evaluative techniques, relational techniques, and visualization of bibliometric data techniques using the VOSviewer program. The results of the study reflect that the sustainable tourism has reached a complexity that is reflected
in its current polyhedral content to function as a conceptual umbrella. In addition, it demonstrates
that the bibliometric analysis is an adequate and useful methodology for academics and professionals
involved in the academic debate around this field of knowledge
Análisis estratégico de los sistemas productivos locales: el caso del mueble de Lucena (Córdoba, España)
Este trabajo propone una metodología para realizar el análisis estratégico de un SPL, basada
en las cinco fuerzas competitivas de Porter. Especial atención reciben las relaciones verticales en el
seno del sistema de valor en términos de competencia y cooperación. Se emplea el análisis estratégico
desarrollado en el sistema productivo del mueble de Lucena (Córdoba, España) para ilustrar
las principales diferencias entre el análisis estratégico de sistemas productivos y de sectores, así
como para dar una visión estructurada de las relaciones complejas encontradas en este caso
Safeguarding Health at the Workplace: A Study of Work Engagement, Authenticity and Subjective Wellbeing among Religious Workers
: Research in work and organizational psychology has paid little attention to religious workers, something certainly surprising as faith-based organizations play a key role in the welfare state of many countries. This research shows that religious workers in a Catholic order present a high degree of subjective wellbeing, both in terms of flourishing and satisfaction with life in general,
and a positive balance of positive and negative feelings. More specifically, this study examines the relationship between authenticity and wellbeing amongst religious workers. Survey responses from 142 religious workers in Spain were analyzed using partial least squares path modelling. The results reveal that subjective wellbeing at work is positively related to authenticity. In addition, this relationship is mediated by their level of work engagement
La implicación con el trabajo. Un factor de competitividad en la nueva gestión de los recursos humanos
2.º Premio Estudios Financieros 1999.Modalidad: Recursos Humanos.
Con demasiada frecuencia en el estudio del comportamiento organizativo se tiende a enfatizar el comportamiento y relegar a un segundo plano la organización. Precisamente, en este trabajo pretendemos demostrar la capacidad que los factores organizativos tienen en la generación de actitudes implicadas con el trabajo. La eficacia de las organizaciones está condicionada por este hecho, de tal manera que la disposición personal hacia el trabajo propio constituye un elemento determinante para asegurar, y garantizar, la supervivencia a largo plazo de la empresa. La investigación empírica desarrollada en el trabajo pone de manifiesto cuáles son los principales fenómenos que están relacionados -directa o indirectamente- con la actitud individual hacia el trabajo, es decir, con el desarrollo de la implicación o alienación laboral
The Subjective Well-Being Challenge in the Accounting Profession: The Role of Job Resources
The main activity of the accountant is the preparation and audit of the financial information of a company. The subjective well-being of the accountant is important to ensure a balanced professional judgment and to offer a positive image of the profession in the face of the incorporation and retention of talent. However, accountants are subjected to intense pressures that affect their well-being in the performance of their tasks. In this paper, the job demands–resources theoretical framework is adopted
to analyze the relationships between job demands, job resources, and the subjective well-being of a large sample of 739 accounting experts at the European level. Applying a structural equations model, the results confirm, on the one hand, the direct effects provided in the theoretical framework and, on the other, a new mediating role of job demands–subjective well-being relationship resources
Valores, actitudes y motivaciones en la juventud ante el emprendimiento individual y colectivo
En el presente trabajo se recopilan una serie de datos recientes –extraídos de diversas fuentes estadísticas acerca de la situación de la juventud y sus expectativas laborales en España y en Andalucía– para contrastar en qué medida las formas de emprendimiento individual y colectivo se presentan como una alternativa cada vez más asequible para este colectivo. En primer lugar se contextualiza hasta qué punto crear una empresa es una opción de inserción laboral en la juventud española. Seguidamente se profundiza en la vocación emprendedora, el asociacionismo y en el conocimiento de la economía social –en este caso de la juventud andaluza–. Por último se proponen algunas ideas conclusivas, a raíz de los datos expuestos, ya que las actitudes manifestadas pueden ser un indicador de las oportunidades u obstáculos que existen para el desarrollo de este tipo de fórmulas empresariales para el futuro
Competencias emocionales y mercado de trabajo: un enfoque empírico
El mercado laboral ha evolucionado de tal forma que las competencias que se requieren para acceder a un empleo hoy día son diferentes a las solicitadas hace años. En este trabajo se analiza cuáles son las competencias que demanda el mercado de trabajo actual, partiendo de una presunción básica: si en el pasado la inteligencia racional era suficiente para sustentar las competencias que nos hacían empleables, en la actualidad los componentes emocionales juegan un papel determinante. Para ello, el auor realiza un estudio empírico del mercado de trabajo
