- Determinants of entrepreneurship in small and medium entreprises in the defense sectorPublication . Almeida, H.; Briones-Peñalver, Antonio-Juan; Fernandes, Silvia BritoAs PME‘s de todo o mundo estão cada vez mais a organizar-se em consórcios, redes de cooperação, joint-ventures e alianças estratégicas permitindo não só reduzir a incerteza e turbulência dos mercados como também conjugar vantagens que as tornem mais empreendedoras. Torna-se importante considerar que os resultados destes relacionamentos são afectados por factores determinantes que podem inibir ou facilitar o Empreendedorismo. É nosso objectivo avaliar a relação entre alguns desses determinantes – Cooperação inter-empresas, Inovação de Métodos de Trabalho e Criatividade e Motivação – sobre o empreendedorismo em 236 PME‘s de Defesa Nacional. Fez-se uma análise Factorial Exploratória em componentes principais (rotação varimax) e Regressão Linear Múltipla. Os resultados mostram a relação directa dos determinantes avaliados e o Empreendedorismo. E, o efeito mediador parcial da Criatividade e Motivação entre a Inovação nos Métodos de Trabalho e o Empreendedorismo. Estas empresas podem esperar desenvolver novos Métodos de trabalho como uma elevada componente diferencial relativa à concorrência e utilização mais eficiente do conhecimento e das capacidades das pessoas que integram a equipa de trabalho de forma a aumentar a sua competitividade.
- Strategy for the modernization of the armed forced: a study made with small and medium companies of the sector of the spanish defencePublication . Almeida, H.; Briones-Peñalver, Antonio-JuanConcerning the model Attitudes-Intentions of behaviour (Bagozzi, 1992) and the comprehensive model of Turnover (Griffeth & Hom, 2001), the present study intends to analyze the mediating role of three attitudes (affective commitment, general satisfaction and satisfaction oriented towards the client) in the relationship that variables characterizing the work (Job Motivating Potential, Perception of Employment Alternatives and Sacrifice Perception) establish with output variables (Intention of Turnover and Organization Recommendation). We used a heterogeneous sample of 303 workers belonging to different actors of hotel business. The results of the mediating tests clarify the importance of the considered attitudes in the way job characteristics affect the intentions of behavior of the hotel employees. In general, we think our results can contributed to develop a relevant model for explaining the behavioral intentions of the professionals working with clients (front-office), which conciliates the practices of human resources with the logic of the market.

J.; Contreiras, J.; Hernández Gómez, E.Education is essential to developing young people’s skills and culture. It is vital that entrepreneurship education is addressed from the secondary education. Entrepreneurship education is essential not only to shape the mindsets of young people but also to provide the skills that are important to developing an entrepreneurial culture. The entrepreneurship key competence refers to an individual’s ability to turn ideas into action. It includes creativity, innovation, and the ability to plan projects in order to achieve objectives. Besides, communication and ICT are relevant in innovation processes in organizations, especially in schools where people interact daily and it is intended to ensure a good future for the organization. In schools, the existence of good communication and the use of ICT is a relevant factor for the integration of teaching innovative projects related to entrepreneurship. A good communication ensures the dissemination of educational innovation processes adopted by the teachers. It´s relevant to improve teaching practice. Communication and the ICT play a key role in the processes of educational innovation. The incorporation of innovative materials, ICT, courses and communication activities, and the use of the media to extract information, are very important. Communication is essential in the secondary education. If the communication flows were eliminated in the school, we would not have school. Communication is introduced into all activities of the school, representing an important tool with which individuals understand their role in the school and integrates organizational departments. The secondary schools are organized through a model based on the participation and collaboration of its component, coordinating the actions of different people in order to achieve the proposed educational objectives. Therefore, the optimal operation of a secondary school is closely related to communication processes taking place in this organization. This paper studies the entrepreneurship, communication processes and the ICT in secondary education. Media and communication channels used in secondary schools to spread the teaching innovation projects related to the entrepreneurship are studied. Supports or conventional tools and new technologies for communication in educational organizations are also analysed when it is studied and worked the entrepreneurship in the classroom.
- Determinants of entrepreneurship in SMEs in the defense sectorPublication . Almeida, H.; Briones-Peñalver, Antonio-Juan; Fernandes, Silvia BritoAll over the world, the small and medium enterprises are more and more organized in consortia, cooperation networks, joint-ventures and strategical alliances allowing not only the reduction of uncertainty and turbulence of the markets but also the gathering of advantages which may make them more competitive. It is worth considering that the results of these relationships are affected by determinant factors which may inhibit or facilitate the entrepreneurship. Our aim is to evaluate the relationship between some of those determinants, association, inter-company cooperation, innovation in the methods of work and creativity—about the entrepreneurship in 236 small and medium enterprises of the national defence. One of the questions initially posed is if there is a significant relation between corporation, innovative methods of work, creativity and entrepreneurship; The second question is being creativity an attribute of the entrepreneur, can it have a mediator effect between innovative methods of work and entrepreneurship. A factorial exploratory analysis was made in main components (varimax rotation) and multiple linear regression. The results show the direct relationship of the evaluated determinants and entrepreneurship and, the partial mediator effect of the creativity between the innovation in the methods of work and entrepreneurship. These enterprises may expect to develop new methods of work as a high differential component concerning the competition and the more efficient use of knowledge and of the skills of the people who make part of the work team in order to increase their competitiveness.

- Corporate social responsibility and sustainability through Institutional legitimacy in police forcesPublication . Briones-Peñalver, Antonio-Juan; Olmo Fernandez, Ignacio del; Fernández Cañavate, Francisco-José; Santos, José António C.This paper analyses the effect of institutional legitimacy on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainability in police forces through their methods and procedures (procedural justice) that determine citizens’ trust in the police, which theoretically influences organised coexistence in human communities (social effectiveness). CSR can increase collective well-being through legitimacy, sustained by police action. An anonymous citizen survey was carried out to verify the theoretical proposal to inquire about their opinions on the legitimacy, methods, and community relations between Spanish police forces and the community. The hypotheses were analysed with a structural equation system. The practical implications aspire to know the citizens’ opinions about the methods and procedures used by the Spanish police and their relations with Spanish civilians. Finally, citizens consider that police actions and procedures are institutionally and legally regulated competencies, and, therefore, citizens cannot influence them.
