Zum Umgang mit Menschen mit Demenz Eine Hinführung
2019
The introduction searches for a guiding principle that can combine personal and institutional care for people with dementia. It approves the point made by Brandenburg & Güther that parts of subjective, objective and hedonistic theories of „good care“ need to be combined in order to identify what makes sense within these approaches. Following Gastmans, human dignity is regarded as the guiding principle for dealing with people with dementia. To do so, it is necessary to (1) see people with dementia as partner in a dialogue; (2) to respect persons for the relationships in which they are embedded; (3) to acknowledge the identity of the person with dementia acquired through his/her history. The …
Coordination mechanisms and parent-subsidiary relationships in volatile environments: a theoretical approach
2015
Este trabajo es una reflexión sobre cómo puede influir la volatilidad del entorno local de una filial sobre los mecanismos de coordinación que estructuran las relaciones matriz-filial: centralización, formalización y socialización, en presencia de algunos factores de contingencia tales como el enfoque estratégico de la multinacional, el país de origen, la complejidad, el tamaño y la edad. De igual manera se emplea la tipología sobre las relaciones matriz-filial de Ghoshal y Nohria (1989) para valorar su aplicabilidad en entornos volátiles. A partir de los razonamientos realizados se plantean algunas proposiciones y se presenta como principal conclusión que, en entornos volátiles, las relaci…
Intensidade das relaciones matriz-filial em filiais venezuelanas de empresas multinacionais
2012
Este trabajo estudia la intensidad de las relaciones matriz-filial en filiales establecidas en Venezuela, a través del análisis de la presencia de mecanismos de coordinación y control dominantes en esas relaciones, tomando en consideración la naturaleza del entorno venezolano. Se utilizó una metodología de carácter cualitativo, basada en el estudio de casos en 41 filiales de diferentes sectores, países de origen y nivel de recursos. El análisis evidenció que la formalización es el mecanismo de coordinación y control que más se emplea en las relaciones matriz-filiales, seguida por la socialización. Igualmente se observó que son factores moderadores en el uso de los mecanismos de coordinación…
Global Self-Worth among Adolescents: The Role of Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction in Physical Education
2019
Global self-worth is important for healthy development and learning, and is therefore highlighted as a major aim in the Norwegian physical education (PE) curriculum. Based on prior research this study aimed to assess potential differences in global self-worth and contextual basic need satisfaction among 2854 adolescents (47.5% boys, 52.5% girls, ages 13 and 16) participating in different movement contexts, and to determine whether basic need satisfaction in PE relates to global self-worth. Structural equation modeling analyses indicate that basic need satisfaction in PE relates significantly to global self-worth. However, adolescents who do not participate in movement contexts outside schoo…
Analyzing heterogeneity on the value, satisfaction, word-of-mouth relationship in retailing
2017
Purpose The literature recognizes the need to study differences in consumer behavior in highly competitive and dynamic markets. In this paper, the authors look at how the heterogeneous evaluation of retailing influences customer satisfaction and loyalty. The purpose of this paper is to analyze unobserved heterogeneity on customer value dimensions perceptions in retail establishments, and their potential effects on positive forms of behavioral outcomes considering customer satisfaction as a mediating variable. Design/methodology/approach On a sample of 820 retail customers, the authors apply a finite mixture structural equation modeling that analyzes unobserved heterogeneity simultaneously.…
“Thanks for Watching.” The Effectiveness of YouTube vlogendorsements
2019
This study examines the effectiveness of brand endorsements in vlogs (video blogs) by assessing the role of audience participation, parasocial relationship, and valence toward vlog endorsements on the perceived credibility of the vlogger and brand attitudes. Four experimental conditions were created on Qualtrics based on a YouTube vlog where the endorser reviewed a few products. The data were collected using Mturk and analyzed with 203 usable responses. The findings indicate that audience participation in the vlog enhances para-social relationship with the vlogger, thus further fostering the vlogger's perceived credibility as an endorser. Additionally, the valence of the audience's attitude…
Human Sensorimotor Communication: A Theory of Signaling in Online Social Interactions
2013
Although the importance of communication is recognized in several disciplines, it is rarely studied in the context of online social interactions and joint actions. During online joint actions, language and gesture are often insufficient and humans typically use non-verbal, sensorimotor forms of communication to send coordination signals. For example, when playing volleyball, an athlete can exaggerate her movements to signal her intentions to her teammates (say, a pass to the right) or to feint an adversary. Similarly, a person who is transporting a table together with a co-actor can push the table in a certain direction to signal where and when he intends to place it. Other examples of ``si…
ICT for external use in Croatian four- and five-star hotels

More specifically, ICT for external use are analysed, i.e. customer relationship management (CRM), communication with customers, promotional supports, and online order receptions. Design/Methodology/Approach – The empirical research took place in 38 upscale (26 four and 12 five-star) hotels located in Croatia, in the regions of Dalmatia, Istria, and Kvarner, and in the city of Zagreb. The data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered mainly during personal interviews …
Paternal masculinities in early fatherhood: dominant and counter narratives by Finnish first-time fathers
2013
In this article, we seek to extend understanding of the role of gender in early fatherhood by examining narratives of paternal masculinities, that is, the social and cultural constructions of gendered practices and conventions produced by men on their roles as male parents. The data comprised interviews with 44 Finnish first-time fathers (aged 20-42 years) living in a heterosexual relationship. The narrative of the “decent father,” was identified as the dominant narrative of paternal masculinity in early fatherhood. Although the narrative was characterized by some important gendered differences, it was also in line with the well-known concept of the “new father.” Two counter narratives, la…
Jóvenes transitando a la educación posobligatoria: el reflejo de la injusticia hermenéutica en sus discursos
2020
Los factores que influyen en las elecciones de los jóvenes a la hora de transitar de la etapa educativa obligatoria a la posobligatoria han sido ampliamente estudiados. La confluencia de factores estructurales y de agencia en las transiciones escolares ha sido probada. Sin embargo, estos resultados no necesariamente reflejan la conciencia que los jóvenes tienen de dichos condicionantes, así como la medida en que consideran que estos les afectan. Sostiene Miranda Fricker (2017) que cuando una grieta en los recursos de interpretación colectivos hace que una o varias personas se encuentren en posición de desventaja con respecto a la comprensión de sus propias experiencias sociales, está tenien…
