- A antecipação da velhice na meia-idade: uma perspetiva de géneroPublication . Janssens-Theunis, Alyssa; São José, JoséEste artigo reporta os resultados de uma pesquisa qualitativa, que procurou compreender, a partir de uma perspetiva de género, como é que os indivíduos na meia-idade antecipam a sua própria velhice. Detetou-se uma grande diversidade de modos de antecipação da própria velhice, bem como marcas de género relativamente à opinião de alguns entrevistados (maioritariamente mulheres) sobre o modo como os homens e as mulheres antecipam a própria velhice e sobre a idade em que eles e elas entram na velhice. Outros entrevistados (maioritariamente homens) acham que as eventuais diferenças entre sexos no que respeita a estes dois temas não têm a ver com o género. São discutidas as implicações destes resultados para o conhecimento sociológico e para as políticas públicas.
- Analysis of the strategic leverage of sport dynamics of sport tourism events through a holistic approachPublication . Martins, Rute Sofia Tavares; Mascarenhas, MargaridaThis study focuses on the development of sport dynamics arising from the strategic leverage of sport events and encompassing the planning of tactics and actions conducive to its implementation. Therefore, the objective of this study aims to analyse the sport dynamic leveraging efforts of the event organizers of two non-mega international events. This investigation included the case study of international open water events hosted in Setúbal, Portugal. Data were collected through: (i) documentary analysis covering the period 2010–2022; (ii) field observation of the two events in 2022; and (iii) 14 post-event semi-structured interviews with representatives of the event organizers and a local partner of the events. The data were examined through content analysis using deductive data categorization. The results highlighted the importance of strategic planning of the benefits of sport events, considering both the increase in sport (active and passive) participation and the strengthening of sport organizational capacity. This expanded vision of the development of sport dynamics can maximize more benefits for the host community. The long-term perspective of leveraging local sport dynamics provided by the study of international sport events emphasized the need for a strategic vision that combines an asset-based approach and a community needs-based approach.
- A bibliometric analysis on designing urban green and blue spaces related to environmental and public health benefitsPublication . de Sousa Silva, Catarina; Bell, Simon; Lackóová, Lenka; Panagopoulos, ThomasAbstract: Humans and nature have always been connected. Meanwhile, with the industrial revolution, landscapes have become more artificial, reducing the human–nature relationship. Urban design should follow biophilic principles to reconnect people with nature, mitigate climate change, improve air quality, restore biodiversity loss, and solve social problems. Poor air quality affects people’s health, and vegetation plays a crucial role in purifying the air. Similarly, contact with nature benefits physical and mental health and well-being. However, there is no consensus on how urban design can be beneficial for improving air quality and human health. This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of evidence linking nature-based solutions (NBSs), air quality, carbon neutrality, and human health and well-being. Five hundred articles published between 2000 and 2024 were analysed. A number of publications studied the benefits of green infrastructure in improving air quality, carbon sequestration, or the influence of green spaces on human health. The topic of NBSs has recently emerged related to air quality, health, and promoting physical activity, as has accessibility to green spaces and mental health, also associated with blue spaces and residential gardens. The results revealed the gaps in the literature on how to design green and blue spaces to tackle environmental and public health crises simultaneously.
- E-shopping decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh: The mediating role of consumers’ psychologyPublication . Hossain, Afzal; Khan, Md Yusuf Hossein; Rony, Md. Byzed Ahmed; Juman, Dr. Mohammad Khairul Islam; Sultana, Farha; Rahaman, Atiqur; Yusuf, Kazi Md.; Hossain, Md. MosharrafThe COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally transformed consumer behavior on a global scale, and Bangladesh is no exception. The pandemic caused extraordinary disruptions in daily life, forcing consumers to rapidly adjust to a new normal characterized by lockdowns, social isolation, and limitations on physical mobility. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) brings greater changes in the consumer decision-making process across the globe. Factors affecting consumers’ electronic shopping (e-shopping) decisions may vary between pre and during the COVID-19 situation. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to investigate the determinants of electronic shopping decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of Bangladesh, along with the role of consumers’ psychology as a mediator. Quantitative type research was applied, and the study used a descriptive research design. A standardized questionnaire was used to collect 543 data points from Bangladeshi consumers using an online purposive sampling method. A partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach was used to evaluate the data and test the hypotheses. The results of the PLS-SEM method showed that electronic shopping decisions were significantly associated with consumers’ psychology, governmental, health, product, and payment factors. The results also revealed that consumers’ psychology significantly and positively mediates the relationship between three determinants (e.g., governmental, social, and product aspects) and electronic shopping decisions. The research recommends that managers, policymakers, and practitioners should provide special attention to the significant determinants of electronic shopping decisions and formulate relevant strategies to address the changes in consumer behavior brought by coronavirus disease.
- Examining the antecedents and outcomes of satisfaction in film festival context: further evidence of validity of the eudaimonic feelings constructPublication . Medeiros, Sandro Alves de; Campos, Ana Cláudia; Sthapit, Erose; Freitas, Lara Brunelle Almeida; Mondo, Tiago SaviWithin festivals and events, film festivals are among the fastest growing cultural events in the world and are recognised as bringing environmental, sociocultural and economic benefits to host tourism destinations including enhanced well-being. These festivals are an important marketing strategy for developing destination image and attracting interest towards a destination. However, there are limited studies on the film festival experience exploring the antecedents of participants’ satisfaction. This study examines the relationship between eudaimonic feelings, novelty, local culture, nostalgia, perceived quality, satisfaction, and behavioural intentions. Data were gathered during the last 3 days of the Penedo Film in the City of Penedo, Northeast Brazil using a questionnaire. A total of 97 valid questionnaires were collected from the festival attendees. Findings show that only eudaimonic feelings and perceived quality are predictors of satisfaction. To the best of authors knowledge, this study is the first to examine the perceived experience of participants in a film festival context from a positive psychology perspective and providing further empirical support for construct validity of eudaimonic feelings. The findings contribute to the existing tourism literature on film festivals by identifying key antecedents (eudaimonic feelings and perceived quality) and outcomes (behavioural intentions) of satisfaction with film festival. One of the main managerial implications includes engaging film festival participants in co-creation processes and in promoting group discussions about a specific movie with an appealing and social relevant theme.
- Exploração das percepções sobre o emprego na hotelaria no Algarve durante a COVIDPublication . Castela, Guilherme; Henriques, Cláudia Helena; Lampreia Carvalho, Fatima; Afonso, CarlosThe Travel and Tourism (T&T) industry is highly sensitive to extreme events like pandemics (Price et al., 2022; OECD, 2020). The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted the sector, leading to mobility restrictions and closures (Chowdhury and Jomo, 2020). However, it also presented opportunities for innovation (Price et al., 2022). The economic impact on Portugal's GDP was significant, with T&T's contribution dropping from 17.1% in 2019 to 8.7% in 2020 and recovering in subsequent years (WTTC, 2022). Given the Algarve's dependence on tourism, this study highlights the need for new strategies to overcome challenges (EURES, 2022). This research aims to analyse how Algarve's (South of Portugal) hospitality (hotels and restaurants) employers and employees perceived the Portuguese government's measures to address the COVID-19 crisis via a Three-Way Data Analysis multivariate statistical procedure, namely the COSTATIS method, which can be considered a more advanced or specialized version of STATIS, offering more flexibility and refinement in handling complex data relationships. The statistical procedure supports the assessment of 27 varieties of perceptions of the pandemic crisis that were collected from respondents distributed in four hospitality professional categories (restaurant and hotel managers and employees). The conclusions identify that association with a professional category in the hospitality industry tends to affect ideas regarding the potential for coping and resilience associated with organizational challenges. Members of the diverse professional categories think of the crisis in different ways due to their status and hierarchic position in business organisations. More attention should be given to what those professionals with lower status have to say about the organisational climate in the event of future crises.
- Horsing around: Animals, humans, sports, and platformsPublication . Fernandes, AdalbertoThe Tokyo 2020 Olympics Pentathlon incident, where German athlete Annika Schleu lost control of the horse Saint Boy, led to the termination of the show-jumping event and exposed the unstable relationships and definitions established between human and more-than-human actors. Analyzing comments on the three most-viewed YouTube videos on this case through Actor-Network Theory, we examine how responsibility is distributed between the two actors involved. Our findings indicate that riding is inherently relational and cannot be entirely dominated by a single agent. No ideal interaction point guarantees control, challenging human sovereignty over the more-thanhuman. Commentators place Schleu in an ambiguous position: she failed to control the more-thanhuman and, consequently, can no longer be treated humanely. This case reveals that distinctions between the human and the more-than-human are locally negotiated. Disruptions in these distinctions expose an enduring anthropocentric perspective, where failure to control the morethan-human disqualifies humans as fully human. The more-than-human thus emerges as a meta-normative guarantor, determining whether those who succeed or fail in control are granted human treatment.
- The importance of organizational culture in the performance of family health units – model b in the Algarve regionPublication . Corvo, Teresa; Soares Pinheiro Vieira Pescada, Susana; Krasniqi, Armand; Vidal, João; Teixeira, Fernando; Ruxho, FiliposContext and Objectives: The recent reform of Primary Health Care brought about important developments, such as the creation of the Health Care Clusters and the Family Health Units, which are innovative in terms of health care provision, with a focus on improving access to care, health and disease management, efficiency and effectiveness gains, quality of care, and user satisfaction. Increasingly considered as an essential organizational attribute for the success of organizations, knowing the organizational culture that prevails in family health units is essential for the implementation of a new work culture in Family Health Units (FHUs) with a type B management model, which is characterized as a more rigorous management model in terms of team performance, clinical governance, and teamwork. Using the Contrasting Values Model as theoretical support, this study aimed to analyze the importance of the Organizational Culture in the Performance of FHUs with a type-B management model in the Algarve region. Methodology: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 109 professionals from eight type-B FHUs. The Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) was used to identify the predominant type of organizational culture in the FHUs, and, in order to characterize the level of performance of model B FHUs, data were extracted from the Primary Health Care Identity Card. Results: In the model B FHUs in the Algarve region there is a predominance of the Clan type culture. Organizations with this type of culture remain cohesive due to the loyalty and tradition among their members. Knowledge of the current organizational culture in these units helps to raise awareness of their own culture, helping their leaders to develop and implement projects oriented towards high performance and productivity. Success is defined in terms of teamwork and concern for people. Conclusion: The study points to a predominance of the Clan culture in the analyzed FHUs, with emphasis on the existence of a productive and competitive leader.
- Mapping organizational culture, work motivation and innovative behaviour, before and during the crisis: a bibliometric analysisPublication . Rodrigues Guita Almeida, Maria Helena; Kumi, S.; Lampreia Carvalho, FatimaAbstract COVID-19 and the Russia–Ukraine war have profoundly transformed the organisational culture of many organisations, shifting from a focus on security to innovation, which poses a major challenge for managers in all aspects of service delivery, including the healthcare sector. This article addresses gaps in the literature by exploring and mapping the evolution of organisational culture, work motivation, and innovative behaviour before and during the crisis (2012–2018), and summarises the relationship between these variables in 25 selected articles. A literature review on Web of Science with bibliometric analysis and RStudio was conducted. The dynamics, associations, dimensions, and networks that emerge as a way of adapting to new contexts to foster innovation are examined. Results indicate that keywords have evolved over time, and a positive and significant relationship between organisational culture, motivation, and innovation was also identified. The findings suggest that organisations should focus on organisational culture to leverage it as a tool for motivating and fostering innovative behaviour in the workplace.
- Minute city concept for healthy tourism during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. who for? The city of Lagos, PortugalPublication . Pires Rosa, Manuela; Lopes, Ana; Aghaeizadeh, Esmaeil; Gomes, André; Andraz, JorgeUrban spatial organization provided an important contribution for healthy tourism in the first COVID-19 pandemic period. The 15-Minute City concept promotes walking which is essential for the development of outdoor activities for a healthier tourism. The tourist city of Lagos (Portugal) is a pilot city of the Interreg Med SuSTowns Project which aims to promote sustainable and resilient territories. This study presents an analysis of the pedestrian accessibility through a specific geographical indicator: the percentage of short-term rentals existing in the surrounding tourist attractions. Ideal standard distances, studied internationally, were considered to assess this close proximity. Different walking speeds were considered to address human diversity and their implications on the 15-Minute City concept. The functionalities of the geographic information systems, in particular the assessment of distances over the pedestrian network were used. The results indicate that in the city of Lagos there is a trend towards an effective 15-Minute City for healthy tourists, promoting walking which could enhance tourism attraction. For tourists with reduced mobility, the use of accessible public transportation is required and needs to be integrated in the 15-Minute City concept.
