- Academic social entrepreneurship: a contemporary reflection from schumpeter’s economic sociologyPublication . Pinto, Hugo; Sampaio, Fábio; Ferreira, Sílvia; Elston, Jennifer NicoleEntrepreneurship has gained significant relevance in contemporary societies due to its role in generating economic and social value, including job creation, new businesses, and technological and social innovations. Scientific interest in entrepreneurship, which dates back to the 17th century, has increased since the 1990s. This field of study has evolved to encompass not only strict business creation but also impactful social initiatives. This article explores the intersection of academic and social entrepreneurship, examining factors to understand impactful initiatives through the seminal ideas presented by Joseph Schumpeter. The text offers insights and recommendations for advancing the transdisciplinary study of academic social entrepreneurship starting from an Economic Sociology perspective.
- 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.
- A critical analysis of the portuguese framework for entrepreneurship education considering the entreComp competence frameworkPublication . ESPINGARDEIRO BANHA, FRANCISCO MANUEL; Graça, André Rui; Góis, BeatrizThis paper critically examines the recently approved Portuguese Framework for Entrepreneurship Education (REE), in 2024, a key policy document aimed at implementing entrepreneurship education (EE) in compulsory public education. It addresses the historical context and current challenges of EE in Portugal, where participation in EE programmes has been limited. The REE is part of a broader initiative under the Citizenship Education subject, aiming to develop entrepreneurial skills among students as they progress through the education system. This article explores the evolution of EE frameworks, particularly focusing on the European Entrepreneurship Competence Framework (EntreComp), which has been widely adopted across Europe. It investigates how these frameworks, including the REE, contribute to the development of entrepreneurial competencies—skills that go beyond business creation to foster creativity, resilience, and problem-solving. The paper also highlights the benefits and challenges of implementing EE, including the need for tailored teaching materials and the importance of teacher support. By presenting Portugal’s recent efforts to integrate EE into its curriculum, this paper contributes to the international discourse on effective strategies for fostering entrepreneurial skills. It emphasises the role of such frameworks in overcoming barriers to EE, ensuring inclusivity, and addressing the evolving needs of global education systems in the face of rapid socio-economic changes.
- Culture to commitment: hr blueprint for sustainable hospitality-tourism academia growthPublication . Sahoo, Debasis; Sinha, Satyajit; Ghaderi, Zahed; Bagheri, FatemehThis study examines the relationship between organizational culture (OCu), job satisfaction (JBS), and organizational commitment (OCo) in Indian hospitality and tourism higher education institutions (HEIs) using the OCTAPACE framework. Grounded in Social Exchange, Organizational Support, and OCu theories, it assesses cultural influences on commitment directly and via JBS. Data from 386 teaching and non-teaching staff were collected through stratified purposive sampling, using validated scales and acknowledging limitations from the lack of a central database. Analysis employed Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). Results show that OCu significantly enhances JBS and commitment, with JBS partially mediating this link. Findings offer actionable insights for HR policy, leadership strategies, and employee retention in service-oriented academic contexts.
- Editorial 48Publication . Gato, Maria Assunção; Cruz, Ana RitaThe thematic dossier in this issue 48 holds special significance for the journal CIDADES, Comunidades e Territórios (CITIES, Communities and Territories). It pays a modest tribute to one of its founders, Vítor Matias Ferreira, who passed away a year ago. The dossier includes a collection of testimonies from people who closely followed part of his research journey in urban studies, as well as from the person who helped him establish and strengthen this journal, which we value deeply. A limited number of testimonies will inevitably fall short of capturing the full impact of someone who was actively involved in civic and intellectual life throughout his career, influencing multiple generations. However, as preserving collective memories becomes increasingly crucial in our fast-paced, information-overloaded era that often fosters social apathy, we hope this dossier will spark interest in Vítor Matias Ferreira’s work among younger generations. This would be one of the greatest tributes we can offer him.
- 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.
- New research on leadership styles and performancePublication . Sousa, Maria José; Asensio, Maria; Rosa, Luciana Aparecida Barbieri da; Rodrigues, Maria CarolinaThis book investigates the relationship between leadership styles and organizational performance, grounded in contemporary theories and empirical evidence, presenting the multifaceted dimensions of leadership and their influence on fostering high-performance cultures in organizations.Several chapters of the book use different methods, some applies quantitative data and others qualitative insights from in-depth analysis. It analyses the efficacy of transformational, transactional, laissez-faire, and servant leadership styles, evaluating their differential impact on team dynamics, innovation, employee engagement, and performance.Findings suggest a relationship between leadership styles and organizational outcomes, highlighting the leadership strategies tailored to contextual demands. While transformational leadership shows a positive correlation with innovation and employee motivation, transactional leadership contributes to short-term goal achievement, and laissez-faire leadership is analysed in the context of structured environments. Additionally, the book discusses the relevance of servant leadership in fostering sustainable, inclusive organizational cultures, thereby enhancing long-term performance.The research presented in this book underscores the imperative for leaders to adopt a hybrid and agile approach, integrating diverse leadership styles based on situational requirements and organizational goals. Furthermore, it emphasizes the important role of leadership development programs for organizations to be prepared to overcome the challenges of the current contexts.
- Pathways to progress: unveiling structural change in Africa through economic transformation, technology, talent, and tourismPublication . Pinto, Hugo; Odoi, Evans; Nogueira, Carla; Viana, Luiz Fernando CâmaraAfrican economies are undergoing significant structural transformation, transitioning from agriculture to manufacturing, services, and technology-driven industries. Driven by urbanization, technological innovation, and global trade, this shift offers opportunities for sustainable growth but faces challenges such as infrastructure gaps and institutional hurdles. This paper examines the dynamics of structural change in 54 African countries, focusing on the roles of technology, talent, and tourism. Using World Bank data, factor and cluster analyses reveal five latent components: structural conditions, public sector capacities, dynamic conditions, urbanization, and growth. The analysis categorizes countries into six clusters, from Developing Economies to African Powerhouses. The findings emphasize the critical role of technology in boosting productivity, the importance of talent development through education and workforce integration, and the potential of sustainable tourism to drive transformation. This research provides a comprehensive framework for understanding Africa’s structural transformation, offering actionable insights to address disparities and promote equitable development across the continent.
- Sources of knowledge in the firm: a review on influential, internal and contextual factors in innovation dynamicsPublication . Pinto, Hugo; Guerreiro, André; Fernández-Esquinas, ManuelThe sources of knowledge are diverse, as each firm interacts with multiple actors in pursuing its mission: partners and strategic allies, suppliers, customers, competitors, specialist organizations such as knowledge-intensive business services, universities, technology centres, public research organizations, innovation intermediaries and public administration bodies. Different kinds of knowledge, both tacit and codified, are relevant for firms. Nevertheless, knowledge needs to be translated into the capacity to act. Hence, knowledge generation and absorption can be understood as two sides of the same coin and it is necessary to take factors that shape both facets into account, in addition to the relationship between the production, transfer and valorisation of knowledge. This article reviews crucial factors for knowledge in firms, aggregated as influential, contextual and internal. Influential factors are associated with knowledge tacitness and the existing knowledge base, whereas the internal characteristics of the firm are also crucial and concern aspects such as the existing innovation culture, leadership attributes and internal research and development capabilities. Finally, contextual factors, such as the territorial dynamics, are essential as environmental enablers for generating and absorbing knowledge. Together, these factors reinforce the dynamic capabilities of the firm and influence the decision to either engage in open innovation strategies or prioritize actions that protect and codify knowledge, thus affecting the firms’ competitiveness.
- Strategy in sport performance: how training programmes could shape dynamic, adaptive intentional processes in performersPublication . Pereira, Elsa; Carvalho, João; Davids, Keith; Araújo, DuarteRecent developments in sports science have indicated that traditional models for planning training programs typically lack coherence for developing the complexity of adaptive processes that emerge from and are invited by training and competition. Here, we argue that the strategic management of training programs for sports performance development may emerge from continuous interactions between individuals in a non-linear transformative causality, displaying transactional intentionality. Based on the understanding and application of theories in complexity sciences, and from the perspective of the ecological dynamics of human behavior, it is intended to contribute to the strategic process that underlies the development of sports performance. Here, we seek to articulate how the strategic process that underlies sports performance development is based on an "educated intentionality" that guides the coaches' actions (e.g., problem-solving, decision-making, planning, and organization). This approach requires a co-evolving design process and decision-making in sports performance development so that athletes can implement adaptive behaviors in competitive contexts.
