Unpacking the link between family socioeconomic status and civic engagement during the transition to adulthood: Do work values play a role?
2017
We investigated whether the link between family-of-origin socioeconomic status (SES) and civic engagement in young adulthood is mediated by youth’s work values, i.e., the desired characteristics of their current or future jobs. We used data from a Finnish study: 2004 (age 16–18, NT1 = 1,301); 2011 (age 23–25, N T2 = 1,096); and 2014 (age 25–27, NT3 = 1,138). A lower family SES in 2004 was negatively related to youth’s civic engagement in 2014. Lower family SES predicted the importance that youth attached to extrinsic job rewards (e.g., good pay) in 2011, but not the importance of intrinsic job rewards (e.g., learning opportunities). Extrinsic work values, in turn, predicted lower civic enga…
Environmental Accounting in Colombia from the Perspective of Sustainable Development
2019
Resumen: A partir del interés por identificar los problemas y las perspectivas por las que la academia contable colombiana ha transitado en el campo de la contabilidad ambiental, el presente trabajo pro -pone realizar una revisión literaria conducente a una reflexión sobre las vertientes con las cuales se ha trabajado el tema en Colombia. Para tal efecto, se analizaron 56 textos identificados en 10 revistas colombianas de investigación contable, que fueron publicados en el periodo de 1996 a 2015. Esta revisión se erige a la luz de algunas consideraciones sobre el medio ambiente, la crisis ambiental y el desarrollo sostenible -en sus vertientes fuerte y débil-, que sirven para comprender el …
Attitudes and related perceptions about product placement: a comparison of Finland, Italy and the United States
2015
The primary goal of our study is to explore cross-national differences in attitudes and perceptions about product placements, after investigating measurement invariance. Our cross-national focus includes three countries that have not been compared previously: Finland, Italy and the USA, which differ significantly in terms of the evolution/maturity of product placement markets, regulatory structures and cultural contexts. Motivated by earlier studies, we investigate the cross-national measurement invariance of scales to measure four research constructs related to the product placement domain (attitude toward credibility of advertising, attitude toward advertising-in-general, attitude toward …
Product market regulation, innovation and productivity
2014
Several recent policy and academic contributions consider that liberalising product markets would foster innovation and growth. This paper analyses the innovation-productivity relationship at the industry-level for a sample of OECD manufacturing industries. We pay particular attention to the vertically-induced influence of product market regulation (PMR) of key input sectors of the economy on the innovative process of manufacturing and its consequences on productivity. We test for a differentiated effect of this type of PMR depending on whether countries are technological leaders or laggards in a given industry and for a given time period. Contrary to the most widespread policy claims, the …
Institutional perspectives in transition : research groups’ profiles and embeddedness in organisational and national context
2019
Research into differentiation and profiling of knowledge producing institutions through the lenses of institutional logics and field embeddedness have proliferated in recent years. By discussing this process in the context of research groups, as those basic units in which knowledge production epistemically and practically takes place, this article offers a contribution to the theoretical discussion on organisational differentiation. Based on a small-N comparative case study of research groups operating in different national and organisational contexts on a single, highly competitive and interdisciplinary applied sciences field, nanosciences, the article proposes research group profiles as h…
Employer brand management: methodological aspects

При цьому сформовано систему критеріїв здійснення такого вибору, що включає як вимоги до компанії-аутсорсера, так і вимоги до майбутнього проекту: рівень вдалих попередніх проектів; рівень задоволеності клієнтів; досвід роботи в Україні; середня вартість послуг аутсорсингової компанії з розробки проекту; термін розробки проекту; комплексність розроблених рекомендацій щодо просування бренду роботодавця; термін дії проекту; гнучкість проекту; рівень складності впровадження проекту; сер…
Regional Disparities and Spatial Dependence of Bankruptcy in Spain
2021
Firm survival, bankruptcy, and turnaround are of great interest nowadays. Bankruptcy is the ultimate resource for a company to survive when it is affected by a severe decline. Thus, determinants of firm turnaround and survival in the context of bankruptcy are of interest to researchers, managers, and policy-makers. Prior turnaround literature has broadly studied firm-specific factors for turnaround success. However, location-specific factors remain relatively unstudied despite their increasing relevance. Thus, this paper aims to evaluate the existence of spatial dependence on the outcome of the bankruptcy procedure. Economic geography and business literature suggest that location matters an…
Las prácticas externas desde la perspectiva de las entidades colaboradoras
2019
La cooperación entre la educación superior y el mercado laboral es un requisito para mejorar las oportunidades de empleo de los titulados. Sin embargo, esta asociación no siempre es tan fluida como debería, a veces porque las Universidades no entienden lo que las entidades es peran de esa colaboración y olvidan que éstas también deben ser compensadas de alguna manera. Pero otras veces las empresas no son conscientes de los beneficios potenciales y el impacto que pueden obtener de esta colaboración. El presente trabajo hace un a cercamiento a la percepción que las entidades que colaboran con la universidad en prácticas externas tienen de dicha colaboración, así como sus motivaciones y demand…
Development of competencies by PBL and evaluation with rubrics in the group work in Higher Education
2019
[ES] La investigación acerca del desarrollo de competencias con ABP ha crecido mucho en los últimos años, sin embargo, no se han investigado sus consecuencias sobre procesos psicosociales, como la creatividad, liderazgo entre iguales y cohesión de equipo en el trabajo en grupo. En este trabajo además se analizan las diferencias en el nivel competencial de 16 grupos de 4 estudiantes de la asignatura Psicología Social del Deporte del Grado en Ciencias de la Actividad Física y el Deporte como resultado de su participación en una metodología de ABP evaluada con rúbricas. Los instrumentos utilizados en esta experiencia se dividen en dos: la evaluación de competencias y la evaluación de variables…
Career Adapt-Abilities Scale – Dual Career Form (CAAS-DC): psychometric properties and initial validation in high-school student-athletes
2016
Talented adolescent athletes attempting to sustain academic and vocational training alongside the increasing demands of their athletic career often encounter difficulties, including lower vocational readiness and the challenge of adapting to life after elite sport. Therefore, it is necessary to better understand the specific competencies that youth athletes can draw upon to successfully combine sport and education into a dual career pathway. Building on the existing Career Adapt-Abilities Scale [Savickas & Porfeli, (2012). Career adapt-abilities scale: Construction, reliability, and measurement equivalence across 13 countries. Journal of Vocational Behavior, 80(3), 661–673], we developed a …
