Impacto de las Prácticas de Recursos Humanos sobre la creatividad y los resultados de innovación : propuesta de una escala de medida

2014

La capacidad de innovar se ha convertido en un factor clave de éxito para la supervivencia de las empresas en los entornos actuales. La existencia de procesos creativos en las empresas conduce al desarrollo de productos y procesos innovadores. Además, la adecuación de las prácticas de Recursos Humanos a la estrategia de innovación favorece la creatividad y el proceso de innovación. El objetivo básico de este trabajo es la propuesta de un modelo teórico para el desarrollo de una escala de medida que conjugue los enfoques tradicionales de Recursos Humanos, más estáticos y orientados a los resultados, con los enfoques de innovación más dinámicos y centrados en los procesos. Así, la contribució…

Especialidades en el proceso administrativo español sobre personal

2005

This is a study of the eminent domains foreseen in the Spanish administrative procedure concerning personnel. The main procedural issues raised by the proceedings such as its adequacy, quantification, jurisdiction and competence are analyzed, starting from an approximation to the concept of personnel matters and from the juridical nature of this proceeding as being common to eminent domains. Particularly, the procedural specialties are studied either being proceeding independently from the adequate procedural action or those foreseen for given assumptions.

Using Focus Group in the Development of UNIPA Emotional Autonomy Inventory

2016

Adolescents' Emotional Autonomy from Parents A relevant tenet in developmental psychology is that adolescents are expected to achieve an autonomous functioning, independent from parents, to become reliant on their internal resources and responsible for their actions and decisions. Within this framework, emotional autonomy reflects the affective side of the largest process by which a young person acquires a more mature identity. It emerges when adolescents are capable to abandon dependence on parents and to individuate from them. Moreover, emotional autonomy implies a shift towards a less idealized conception of parental figures, the development of a more complex consideration of them as peo…

Self-control and need satisfaction in primetime: Television, social media, and friends can enhance regulatory resources via perceived autonomy and co…

2021

The relationship between self-control and media use is complicated. Loss of self-control capacity has been linked to generally higher levels of media use, which might represent self-regulatory failure, but could also be attempts at replenishing self-control. Indeed, self-determination theory proposes that satisfying intrinsic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness), for example via media use, aids the recovery of self-control. In this 2-wave survey (N = 395), we examined the interplay of users’ self-control capacity and their perceived satisfaction of autonomy, competence, and relatedness needs via media use and alternative leisure activities. Satisfaction of intrinsic n…

Human resource development roles and competencies in five European countries

1998

This article compares HRD practitioners’ self-assessments based on their work roles, outputs and competencies from England, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany and Finland. The comparison is based on results produced by European surveys conducted between 1992–96, which adopted their model from an earlier study of HRD practitioners in the USA. In terms of work roles, the findings showed the culture-bound nature of HRD work and also, through the appearance of new work roles, its close relation to changes in working life. English and the Finnish HRD practitioners in particular, seemed to perceive themselves as agents of change while for the Germans, the role of trainer still seemed valid. In terms…

E-learning as a Challenge for Widening of Opportunities for Improvement of Students' Generic Competences

2012

The rapidly changing economic, financial and social conditions require new knowledge and competences in order to be able to understand them, adapt to the new requirements and remain competitive and successful in the globalised social environment. Widening the access to lifelong learning is one way in which this could be achieved. A special role in this process is given to universities as promoters of lifelong learning. E-learning is a means of promoting the changes in academic studies and providing an opportunity to integrate non-formal and informal learning elements into formal education. Individualisation, learning opportunities flexible in time, as well as the e-environment can facilita…

Self-perceptions of competence in Brazilian, Canadian, Chinese and Italian children: Relations with social and school adjustment

2004

The purpose of the present study was to examine relations between self-perceptions of competence and social, behavioural, and school adjustment in Brazilian, Canadian, Chinese, and Italian children. Self-perception data were collected through children’s self-reports. Information about social behaviours, peer acceptance, and school achievement was obtained from peer assessments and teacher ratings. Multi-group analyses revealed similar patterns of relations between self-perceptions in scholastic and general self-worth domains and social and school performance in the four samples. However, the relations between self-perceptions of social competence and shyness and academic achievement were d…

Capturing daily family dynamics via text messages: development of the mobile diary

2010

In this paper we introduce a new tool, the mobile phone, for use in diary research. We demonstrate, with reference to two family studies conducted in Finland, how daily family dynamics can be captured by using the mobile diary. In both studies family members sent text messages (SMSs) in answer to structured diary questions three times a day over a one-week period. The participants kept also paper-and-pencil diaries. Two mobile diary items measuring mood (stressfulness and feelings of competence) both at home and at work are reported here as examples. For both items we found statistically significant daily and weekly variation as well as individual fluctuation. The data gathered by the mobil…
