Estudo Comparativo da Espiritualidade entre uma Empresa com Fins Lucrativos e uma Organização Não Governamental

A espiritualidade nas organizações representa um papel relevante na satisfação que o indivíduo tem na realização do seu trabalho e no sentido em que o seu trabalho o dignifica e fá-lo sentir-se útil á sociedade, assente no respeito dos valores espirituais internos de cada um. O objetivo do estudo procurou verificar se a vivência da espiritualidade nas organizações é vivida de forma diferente na empresa SIA – Sociedade Industrial de Aperitivos, SA e na ONG – Humana People to People. O modelo de análise foi elaborado através do programa AMOS Graphics, e teve como objetivo a definição das variáveis em estudo. Foi construído um fluxograma para a operacionalização dessas mesmas variáveis. O instrumento utilizado para recolha de dados foi um questionário que foi elaborado com base no estudo de Rego, Souto e Cunha (2007) sobre as dimensões da espiritualidade: Sentido de comunidade na equipa, alinhamento do individuo com os valores da organização, sentido de préstimo á comunidade, alegria no trabalho e oportunidade para a vida interior. Este estudo foi realizado seguindo uma abordagem quantitativa, onde foram recolhidos 162 questionários, 118 relativos á empresa com fins lucrativos e 44 á ONG. E para complementar o estudo realizou-se uma entrevista ao Presidente da empresa SIA. O processamento dos dados foi elaborado através do programa IBM SPSS Statistics 23, tendo em conta os resultados obtidos podemos dizer que a espiritualidade nas organizações nas dimensões estudadas apresenta diferenças tendencialmente significativas na dimensão sentido de comunidade de equipa e diferenças significativas na dimensão sentido de préstimo á comunidade entre as duas organizações. Relativamente às restantes dimensões, alinhamento do individuo com os valores da organização, alegria no trabalho não existem diferenças significativas entre as duas organizações. Quanto a dimensão oportunidade para a vida interior por ter apresentado uma consistência interna não aceitável relativamente ao instrumento usado foi considerada inválida e por esse motivo não foi trabalhada isoladamente em termos de análise. Pode-se assim, concluir que as dimensões SCE e SPC são efetivamente as que determinam as diferenças que existem em termos de vivência da espiritualidade entre a empresa com fins lucrativos e a ONG. / Spirituality in organizations plays an important role in the satisfaction that the individual has in the performance of his work and in the sense in which his work dignifies him and makes him feel useful to society, based on respect for the internal spiritual values of each one. The purpose of the study was to understand if the experience of spirituality in organizations is lived differently in the company SIA - Sociedade Industrial de Aperitivos, SA and the NGO - Humana People to People. The analysis model was elaborated through the AMOS Graphics program, and its purpose was to define the variables under study. A flowchart was constructed for the operationalization of these same variables. The instrument used for data collection was a questionnaire that was elaborated based on the study of Rego, Souto and Cunha (2007) on the dimensions of spirituality: sense of community in the team, alignment of the individual with the values of the organization, sense of service the community, joy at work and opportunity for the inner life. This study was carried out following a quantitative approach, where 162 questionnaires were collected, 118 related to the for-profit company and 44 to NGOs. And to complement the study, an interview was conducted with the top management at SIA. The data processing was elaborated through the program IBM SPSS Statistics 23, taking into account the results obtained we can say that the spirituality in the organizations in the dimensions in study displays tendentially significant differences in the sense dimension of team community and significant differences in the sense of service to the community between the two organizations. Regarding the remaining dimensions, alignment of the individual with the values of the organization, joy in the work there are no significant differences between the two organizations. As for the dimension of opportunity for the inner life because it presented an internal consistency that wasn’t acceptable to the instrument used, it was considered invalid and for this reason it wasn’t worked alone in terms of analysis. It can be concluded that the SCE and SPC dimensions are effectively the ones that determine the differences that exist in terms of experiencing spirituality between the for-profit company and the NGO.AO (Author's Original

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used.

NEOTROPICAL XENARTHRANS: a data set of occurrence of xenarthran species in the Neotropics

Xenarthrans—anteaters, sloths, and armadillos—have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 species of armadillos, 10 anteaters, and 6 sloths. Our data set includes the families Chlamyphoridae (13), Dasypodidae (7), Myrmecophagidae (3), Bradypodidae (4), and Megalonychidae (2). We have no occurrence data on Dasypus pilosus (Dasypodidae). Regarding Cyclopedidae, until recently, only one species was recognized, but new genetic studies have revealed that the group is represented by seven species. In this data paper, we compiled a total of 42,528 records of 31 species, represented by occurrence and quantitative data, totaling 24,847 unique georeferenced records. The geographic range is from the southern United States, Mexico, and Caribbean countries at the northern portion of the Neotropics, to the austral distribution in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. Regarding anteaters, Myrmecophaga tridactyla has the most records (n = 5,941), and Cyclopes sp. have the fewest (n = 240). The armadillo species with the most data is Dasypus novemcinctus (n = 11,588), and the fewest data are recorded for Calyptophractus retusus (n = 33). With regard to sloth species, Bradypus variegatus has the most records (n = 962), and Bradypus pygmaeus has the fewest (n = 12). Our main objective with Neotropical Xenarthrans is to make occurrence and quantitative data available to facilitate more ecological research, particularly if we integrate the xenarthran data with other data sets of Neotropical Series that will become available very soon (i.e., Neotropical Carnivores, Neotropical Invasive Mammals, and Neotropical Hunters and Dogs). Therefore, studies on trophic cascades, hunting pressure, habitat loss, fragmentation effects, species invasion, and climate change effects will be possible with the Neotropical Xenarthrans data set.
