  • Ageism in the labor market: validation of the portuguese version of the workplace age discrimination scale (WADS)
    Publication . Valadas, Sandra; Paulos, Liliana; Surducan, Emanuel; Zacarias, Rui
    Contemporary workplaces are characterized by diverse age groups that work collaboratively. Research has indicated an increase in workplace age discrimination, being crucial to understand the perceptions of employees regarding its impact at work contexts. The present study explores the potential for objective measurement of age discrimination in European employment rates among older workers. It addresses the lack of a validated instrument to measure age-related discriminatory experiences in the Portuguese context, demanding the adaptation and validation of a reliable and valid tool. The study focuses on adapting and validating the Workplace Age Discrimination Scale (WADS) in a sample of 536 Portuguese employees from public, private, and third-sector organizations in the southern region of Portugal, assesses the perceived age-related discrimination in the workplace, and determines to which personal variables workers’ age is related. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) supported the unidimensional structure of the WADS, with acceptable fit indices. The scale demonstrated high internal consistency. Multiple linear regression analyses revealed that age and hours worked per day were significant predictors of perceived age discrimination. These findings validate the Portuguese version of the WADS as a reliable and robust tool to assess age discrimination in the workplace.

  • Ambivalent sexism and neosexism: examining the role of affirmative action attitudes in sustaining workplace gender inequality
    Publication . Gomes, Alexandra; Giger, Jean-Christophe; Sousa, Cátia; Vieira dos Santos, Joana; Souza, Anna; Gonçalves, Gabriela
    Gender-based affirmative action (GAA) in the workplace, despite targeting gender discrimination, elicits negative reactions. Few studies have explored socio-cognitive factors sustaining critics towards GAA. In this study we aim to fill the gap, asserting that individuals can simultaneously hold neosexist beliefs and positive attitudes towards GAA, forming an attitudinal combination that perpetuates workplace gender inequality. We argue that ambivalent sexism precedes adherence to this combination and that ambivalent sexists, high on both hostile and benevolent sexisms, endorse this combination more than other sexists. In a sample of 792 participants (n=555 employed in public and private institutions; n=237 college students), results showed that, men displayed higher levels of hostile and benevolent sexism, as well as neosexism, and supported GAA less than women. Additionally, hierarchical cluster analysis identified four sexist profiles, with an analysis of variance revealing that these profiles were linked to varying levels of neosexism endorsement and support for GAA. Overall, ambivalent sexists reported significantly higher levels of both neosexism and support for GAA compared to hostile, benevolent, or nonsexist participants.

  • Catalyzing success: how enthusiastic leaders drive performance through group satisfaction and positive emotions
    Publication . Gonçalves, Gabriela; Sousa, Cátia; Veras, Catarina; Vieira dos Santos, Joana
    Effective 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 theory
    Publication . Silva, Rejane Santana da; Quiroga Souki, Gustavo; Oliveira, Alessandro Silva de; Vieira, Luís Sérgio; Dionísio Serra, Manuel António
    Purpose – 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 and meaningful work: experiences of immigrant construction workers in Portugal
    Publication . Faria, Liliana; Gonçalves, Nicole
    This study explores the experiences of African migrant workers in Portugal's construction sector, focusing on how decent work and meaningful work coexist under structural vulnerability. Guided by the Psychology of Working Theory, semi-structured interviews with 18 workers were analysed through reflexive thematic analysis. Findings reveal that temporary contracts, low wages, hazardous conditions and limited social protection constrain access to decent work. Despite these challenges, workers actively construct meaningful work through family-oriented motivations, peer solidarity, and recognition from supervisors. Meaningful work emerges as a relational, situated process, shaped by structural conditions but not reducible to them. Individual and collective resilience sustain dignity, purpose and self-worth, highlighting the non-linear relationship between decent work and meaningful work. The results suggest that meaning at work can persist even in precarious contexts, emphasizing the importance of integrated labour policies and organizational practices that foster both decent work and meaningful work, supporting migrant workers' well-being, agency and long-term integration.

  • Decent work research in tourism industry: a bibliometric mapping
    Publication . Faria, Liliana; Gouveia, Cláudia; Florêncio, Luís
    Abstract: The study of decent work in tourism is critical to ensure the sustainable growth of the industry, workers’ rights are respected, and local communities as well as tourists benefit. To this end, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of research on decent work in tourism. The analysis covered 105 studies from the Scopus database. VOSviewer was used to perform a citation, bibliographic linkage, co-citation, and co-occurrence analysis. The increase in the number of research papers and citations on this topic shows that it has progressively attracted the attention of researchers in the last three years. Results show that the United Kingdom is the most productive country in this field of study while the journal with the greatest influence is Journal of Sustainable Tourism. The study with the strongest link to other publications is “Rethinking decent work: the value of dignity in tourism employment”. The most studied topics concern the integration of decent work to achieve Sustainable Development Goals in the context of sustainable tourism and the sustainable adaptation of the hospitality and tourism industry in the time of COVID -19. Future research directions are also outlined.

  • Discovering entrepreneurship competencies through problem-based learning in higher education students
    Publication . Sousa, Maria José; Costa, Joana Martinho
    The 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.

  • Do personality traits matter for safety behaviour? The boundary role of safety training
    Publication . Sousa, Cátia; Coelho, Anne
    Safety behaviour in the workplace is influenced by both individual characteristics and organizational practices; however, the conditions under which these factors interact remain insufficiently understood. Drawing on an interactionist perspective, this study examines whether perceived safety training effectiveness functions as a contextual condition that shapes the influence of personality traits on safety behaviour. A cross-sectional design was adopted, and data were collected through an online questionnaire from 268 workers across diverse professional backgrounds. Measures included safety behaviour, personality traits (neuroticism and conscientiousness), and perceived safety training effectiveness. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, multiple regression, and moderation analyses, controlling for age and gender. The results showed that neuroticism was negatively associated with safety behaviour, whereas conscientiousness did not present a significant effect when perceived safety training effectiveness was included in the model. Perceived safety training effectiveness emerged as the strongest predictor of safety behaviour. Importantly, perceived safety training effectiveness moderated the relationship between conscientiousness and safety behaviour, such that its influence was stronger at lower levels of training and diminished as training increased. These findings suggest that perceived safety training effectiveness was associated with a weaker relationship between conscientiousness and safety behaviour. By suggesting that the relationship between personality traits and safety behaviour may depend on organizational conditions, this study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of safety behaviour and highlights the central role of training as a key organizational resource for promoting safer work practices.
