The Cross-level Relationship Between Organizational Trust in Leadership and Job Satisfaction
2020
Previous research has rarely addressed trust in leadership at the organizational level. This study addresses this research gap by examining the influence of the magnitude of organizational trust in leadership and consensus about this trust on job satisfaction. The magnitude refers to shared trust in leadership among organizational members, whereas consensus captures the variability in perceptions within organizations, even when overall agreement exists. Moreover, the study examines the mediating role of perceived communication quality in the relationship between the magnitude of organizational trust in leadership and job satisfaction. The sample was composed of 486 employees of 34 transport…

Los países occidentales han experimentado en las cuatro últimas décadas una inclinación hacia modelos de justicia más reactivos, punitivos o retribucionistas (Garland, 2005; Giménez y Alba, 2014). Ha sido especialmente dentro del ámbito anglosajón (Estados Unidos y Gran Bretaña) donde esta nueva cultura del delito ha sido más destacable (Ashworth, 2005; Fernández-Molina, 2008). Europa, sin embargo, ha sabido resistirse a esta tendencia punitiva, intentando mantener un precario equilibrio entre los modelos propiamente retribucionistas y las políticas de bienestar. Por su parte, en Latinoamérica, en un intento por suavizar esta corriente punitiva, en la última década se ha evolucionado hacia …

Could Low-Frequency Electromyostimulation Training be an Effective Alternative to Endurance Training? An Overview in One Adult
2014
This preliminary study aimed to investigate the effects of a six-week low-frequency electromyostimulation training (10Hz) on the cardiovascular, respiratory and muscular systems. To that purpose, aerobic capacity, knee extensor muscles strength and architecture, muscle sympathetic nervous activity, blood pressure and heart rate have been evaluated in one healthy male subject (33 year-old, 1.73 m, 73 kg). Results showed improvement of aerobic capacity (+4.5% and +11.5% for maximal oxygen uptake and ventilatory threshold) and muscle strength (+11% and +16% for voluntary and evoked force). Moreover, for the first time, this study demonstrated low-frequency training effects on muscle architectu…
Intervención psicológica a distancia con un futbolista profesional: estudio de caso
2019
El objetivo del presente trabajo es estudiar las diferencias pre y post intervención psicológica online durante 9 meses en un joven jugador de fútbol profesional. Se parte de la demanda del deportista para mejorar su fortaleza mental y conseguir la titularidad en el equipo, ya que después de 2 meses de temporada, era suplente y se sentía "débil psicológicamente" para afrontarlo. Para ello, se evaluó al jugador con el CPRD, autorregistros y observaciones de partidos. La intervención se realizó por medio de videoconferencias, mensajería instantánea y correo electrónico. Principalmente, se aplicó técnicas cognitivo-conductuales, como la relajación, las autoinstrucciones, el planteamiento de cr…
