La heterodoxia en la poesía visual española del siglo XXI
2014
Resumen: Toda vanguardia esconde un malestar y una rebeldia contra la realidad que aflige al individuo y que se vuelve objeto de critica en las obras. En este sentido, tras aclarar a que nos referimos cuando hablamos de poesia visual, analizaremos algunas obras que han aparecido por primera vez en 2014, interpretandolas como reaccion contra la perdida de valores de la sociedad postmoderna. La finalidad sera demostrar que la poesia visual espanola del siglo XXI no ha renunciado a su heterodoxia, puesto que elige justamente este universo donde todo es rapido, fluido, superficial, complejo e inasible para seguir denunciando desde su interior la incomunicacion y la alienacion a la que nos han l…

Empreendedorismo, inovação e internacionalização: o papel moderador das instituições

As a result, we observed that an institutional framework characterized by a simplification of bureaucratic administrative procedures to access the financial resou…

Examining the side effects of organizational Internet monitoring on employees
2020
PurposeInternet monitoring in organizations can be used to monitor risks associated with Internet usage and information systems in organizations, such as employees' cyberloafing behavior and information security incidents.

To achieve this high quality performance standard, companies need highly motivated and committed employees, and human resources managers are responsible for designing and implementing practices capable of satisfying both economic exchanges and social exchanges in employee-organization relationships. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationships between monetary incentive expectation and affective commitment, in addition to the mediating role of motivation orientation in this relationship, in contact center employees. In particular, based on the social exchange theory (Blau, 1964), the s…
"Facta non verba" : an experiment on pledging and giving
2015
International audience; We design an experiment to investigate whether asking people to state how much they will donate to a charity (i.e., to pledge) increases their actual donation. Individuals’ endowment is either certain or a random variable. We study different types of pledges, namely, private, public and irrevocable, which differ in terms of the cost to the individual for not keeping the promise. We show that in absence of endowment uncertainty, private and public pledges are associated with lower donations as compared to donations in the no-pledge case: private pledges slightly reduce donations and public pledges reduce them more significantly. Donations increase with uncertainty (in…
Temptation and commitment in the laboratory
2010
Temptation and self-control in intertemporal choice environments are receiving increasing attention in the theoretical economics literature. Nevertheless, there remains a scarcity of empirical evidence from controlled environments informing behavior under repeated temptations. This is unfortunate in light of the fact that in many natural environments, the same temptation must be repeatedly resisted. This paper fills that gap by reporting data from a novel laboratory study of economic decisions under repeat temptations. Subjects are repeatedly offered an option with instantaneous benefit that also entails a substantial reduction to overall earnings. We show that this option is "tempting" in …
