- Catalyzing success: how enthusiastic leaders drive performance through group satisfaction and positive emotionsPublication . Gonçalves, Gabriela; Sousa, Cátia; Veras, Catarina; Vieira dos Santos, JoanaEffective leaders employ a blend of transformational and transactional leadership styles to collaborate with their employees, working towards achieving organizational objectives. While the significance of enthusiasm in leadership is acknowledged, its specific role remains largely unexplored within the realm of leadership studies. We contend that enthusiasm assumes a pivotal and influential role in successful leadership, ultimately enhancing overall productivity. This study is dedicated to investigating how leader enthusiasm impacts perceived performance among team members and examine the mediation of group satisfaction and positive emotions in the relationship between leader enthusiasm and perceived performance. By analyzing data collected from a participant pool of 311 individuals, our research yields compelling evidence that leader enthusiasm exerts a positive influence on perceived performance. A noteworthy revelation emerging from our research is found in the mediation analysis. This analysis sheds light on the pivotal roles of group satisfaction and positive emotions as key mediators in the link between leader enthusiasm and perceived performance. This underscores the concept that leader enthusiasm indirectly shapes how employees perceive their own performance, primarily through its profound impact on group satisfaction and the positive emotions experienced by individual team members. In summary, our study underscores the vital and transformative role of leader enthusiasm in cultivating a rewarding and fulfilling work environment. This, in turn, exerts a positive influence on follower emotions and their perceptions of performance. Our findings shed light on the intricate mechanisms through which leader enthusiasm contributes to shaping employees’ perceptions of their performance.
- Cognitive, affective and behavioural repercussions of perceived quality in tourism vocational education: insights from self-determination theoryPublication . Silva, Rejane Santana da; Quiroga Souki, Gustavo; Oliveira, Alessandro Silva de; Vieira, Luís Sérgio; Dionísio Serra, Manuel AntónioPurpose – This study aimed to investigate the influence of the perceived quality by students regarding their experiences in vocational schools in tourism, hospitality and food service on cognitive and affective responses (satisfaction, self-efficacy expectations and self-regulation strategies of motivation for learning - SRSML) and commitment (behavioural response). Design/methodology/approach – A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 454 students from twelve Turismo de Portugal IP-affiliated schools. The theoretical framework was rooted in Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and PLS-SEM, using ADANCO 2.3 software to test the proposed model. Findings – Perceived quality by students concerning their school experiences are socio-contextual factors that directly influence their satisfaction and self-efficacy expectations (cognitive and affective responses). Satisfaction and self-efficacy expectations positively affected SRSML. Finally, satisfaction and the SRSML positively impacted the students` commitment to schools (behavioural response). Originality/value – This study contributes to academia by comprehensively addressing 16 perceived quality dimensions within vocational education. It aligns with SDT, revealing that socio-contextual factors affect students’ cognitive, affective, and behavioural responses. Additionally, it demonstrates positive relationships between student satisfaction, self-efficacy expectations, SRSML, and students’ commitment to vocational education institutions. This study emphasises the multidimensional nature of perceived quality, urging educational institutions to address tangible and intangible dimensions to develop strategies to provide high-quality experiences, increasing students` satisfaction, self-efficacy expectations, motivation, and commitment.
- Decent work and burnout: the moderating role of career callingPublication . Faria, Liliana; Porto, SofiaBurnout is a critical issue in occupational mental health, and decent workis recognised as a key factor in promoting employee well-being. Drawingon the Psychology of Working Theory and Conservation of ResourcesTheory, this study examined whether Career Calling, as a personalresource, moderates the relationship between Decent Work andBurnout among Portuguese workers. A cross-sectional online surveywas conducted with 173 participants, and data were analyzed using thePROCESS macro. Results indicated a significant negative relationshipbetween Decent Work and Burnout, with Career Calling moderating thisassociation: its protective effect was stronger when decent workconditions were adequate. These findings highlight the importance ofprioritising decent work as the primary strategy to prevent burnout, whilesupporting the development of Career Calling as a complementaryresource to enhance resilience, engagement, and meaning in work.
- Discovering entrepreneurship competencies through problem-based learning in higher education studentsPublication . Sousa, Maria José; Costa, Joana MartinhoThe increase in student engagement in the learning process has driven educators to use more dynamic pedagogical methodologies. Several studies have shown evidence of increased interest in learning when real-world problems are integrated into the learning environment. This paper presents the competencies developed by higher education students through application of the problem-based learning (PBL) methodology in higher education courses. The research begins with the identification of a set of competencies developed by higher education students in other studies developed and reported in the last five years and includes them in a survey to analyze the level of development of those competencies when problem-based learning is applied in university courses. To identify the competencies developed by applying the problem-based learning methodology, the research employed a document analysis and a survey of the students that participated in the experimental application. The research questions “What are the competencies developed by students in problem-based learning?” and “Are the competencies identified by the students sufficiently learned in universities?” guided the study. The competencies found by the students were identified through a questionnaire given as an online survey to 76 students. The key outcome of the research is the identification in the bachelor courses of the competencies perceived as essential by students participating in the application of PBL in terms of their advancement.
- Physiological and psychological benefits of exposure to nature during work in a military bunker—a pilot experimental studyPublication . Silva Fernandes, Maria Jacinta; Bento, Ana Teresa; Gonçalves, Gabriela; Campos, ClariceThe present controlled experimental research addresses the effects of exposure to nature on workers’ well-being and job performance in a work-confined setting. Ten individuals working in an open-space office inside a Portuguese military bunker were exposed to simulated nature (audio sounds and/or video images of nature). Quantitative physiological (heart rate) and self-reported measures (perceived positive and negative emotions, environment restorativeness, and work performance) were taken. Results indicate that exposure to nature during working time in confined places, through simulating a window with a view of nature and/or by introducing sounds of nature, promotes physiological and emotional well-being at work (heart rate significantly decreases, positive emotions significantly increase, and negative emotions decrease), and significantly increases employees’ perception of workplace restorative qualities. The results on work performance were non-significant. The present findings contribute to the evidence of the restorative effects of nature exposure during work. The research bridges a gap by considering workplaces where real nature exposure is not feasible and examining the evidence on the beneficial biophilic interventions (the restorative effects of simulated nature) within confined environments. The strategy to use videos and audio of nature may improve the structural conditions of work, benefiting well-being in these types of work settings.
- Public leadership challenges in a complex contextPublication . Fialho, Elisabete; Sousa, Maria José; Moreira, Ana SofiaThe objectives of this study are to identify the importance of teleworking during the COVID-19 pandemic and, evaluate the future development of this working form, characterize the process, identify its benefits and challenges, and present some solutions to deal with telework. To this end, the following research questions were formulated: (1) What areas of telework had the most significant impact during the COVID-19 pandemic? (2) What is the impact of telework on productivity? (3) What are the positive and negative aspects of teleworking? (4) What solutions do leaders propose for telework to intensify in the future? The sample for this study consists of 159 participants holding managerial positions. The data analyses were completed and allowed us to study the challenges of leadership in teleworking in direct public administrations. The results indicate that productivity is maintained, although productivity has decreased in the education sector. The positive aspects found were flexibility, better time management, that communication became simpler, and greater motivation. As negative aspects, we found changes in leadership, communication, and lack of material. To minimise the negative aspects of teleworking, the leaders essentially mentioned mixed-work (face-to-face and teleworking), distribution of appropriate material, training, teleworking regulation, and productivity control.
- Resisting or complying with neoliberal subjectification? Finnish and Portuguese non-traditional graduates and their educational ethosesPublication . Sippola, Markku; Valadas, Sandra; Paulos, Liliana; Leal, CarolinaThe Bourdieusian view of higher education (HE) emphasises its inherited nature and function in maintaining social hierarches. This is in conflict with the egalitarian and meritocratic ideas prevailing in some welfare regimes, such as those organised around Social Democratic or Conservative precepts. Moreover, the Bologna Process that began in the 2000s instilled the idea of employability as a broader goal of HE within the EU. This study investigates the experiences of non-traditional graduates (NTGs) from Finland and Portugal in relation to the trends affecting welfare regimes and the historical trajectories of HE. In the analysis, the ethoses of ‘HE as a virtue’, ‘human capital’, and ‘employability’ were identified. The ethoses are accompanied by varying degrees of resisting or complying with commodification of HE and neoliberal subjectification. HE institutions can be regarded as providing distinctive ethoses of NTGs that can be traced back to the influence of their respective welfare regimes.
