- Information management’s influence on telework efficiency and leadership: perspectives from a study in PortugalPublication . Santos, Jaime; Farinha, João; Pina, Maria de Fátima; Martins, RuiThis paper investigates the impact of information management on telework effectiveness and the role of leadership in facilitating successful telework arrangements within the context of Portuguese organizations. Telework, enabled by advanced information and communication technologies (ICTs), has emerged as a significant alternative work arrangement, particularly in response to global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Leveraging data collected from Portuguese firms, this study employs qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze the relationship between information management practices, telework effectiveness, and the leadership strategies employed to support remote work. Findings suggest that effective information management is critical for enhancing telework effectiveness, with leadership playing a pivotal role in facilitating communication, collaboration, and employee well-being in a telework environment. The paper concludes with implications for practice and recommendations for organizations seeking to optimize telework arrangements amidst evolving workplace dynamics.
- The fish biology and firms’ internationalisation: the process explained through a metaphorPublication . Martins, Rui; Pina, Maria de Fátima; Farinha, JoãoGlobalisation has changed the way companies face the challenges of international markets, representing a path to expansion and sometimes survival in the context of global competitiveness. This study investigates how companies face the stimuli of market expansion within the particular challenges of internationalisation. We incorporated two different studies into this study, where we proposed and tested a theoretical model. To this end, we included a quantitative survey made up of a sample of 406 managers of Portuguese companies, where we showed that the barriers are overcome with greater planning on the part of the companies and that the greater the planning on the part of the companies, the higher the expectations of a high financial return. Subsequently, we used a quantitative survey based on 100 questionnaires with CEOs of internationalised companies, which made it possible to outline a crucial diagnosis of the internationalisation process in the Covid-19 period and future expectations. This article aims to contribute to the literature and provides important implications for theory and practice in the area of barriers that have an impact on the business fabric, on planning and on companies’ expectations in international markets, based on government stimuli that will enable the national economy to position itself in the global market, stimulating economic growth and contributing to improved competitiveness, innovation and a commitment to digitalisation.
