Modelling the influence of automaticity of behaviour on physical activity motivation, intention and actual behaviour
2014
In research and in practise social-cognitive models, such as the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), are used to predict physical activity behaviour. These models mainly focus on reflective cognitive processes. As a reflective process, intention is thought to be the most proximal predictor to behaviour. Nevertheless, research suggests that the relation between intention and actual behaviour, the so called intention-behaviour gap, is moderate. Many health-related actions in daily life are performed repetitively and with minimal forethought. In contrast to social-cognitive theories, dual-process theories suggest that behaviour is based on both reflective and automatic processes. Recent researc…

Systems Approaches in the Enterprise Architecture Field of Research: A Systematic Literature Review
2018
This study explores the use of the systems approaches (systems thinking and systems theories) as the theoretical underpinnings for Enterprise Architecture (EA) research. Both the academic and the practitioner communities have maintained an interest in EA due to its potential benefits, promising for the recent technological and business advances. EA as a research area is, however, characterized by diversified views depicted in different definitions of the concept, and no acknowledged common theoretical foundation. A number of prior studies have noticed this gap in the EA field of research, and called for a strengthening of the theory of EA. Variegated systems approaches have been suggested a…
The use of social media for knowledge acquisition and dissemination in B2B companies: an empirical study of Finnish technology industries
2019
Scholars and practitioners of knowledge management have paid increasing attention to the adoption of social media in business-to-business (B2B) setting for knowledge sharing; however, both the theoretical and empirical research in this domain are quite fragmented. The aim of this research is to deepen the understanding about the B2B companies’ awareness of the potentials of social media in improving their absorptive capacity and, consequently, if and how such companies deploy knowledge strategies based on social media adoption. We carried out an empirical survey of Finnish technology companies operating purely in B2B markets. Results highlight that social media adoption is still in a prelim…
El pòlip de Trembley: L'"animal-planta" que va sacsejar la biologia del segle XVIII
2013
Els experiments d’Abraham Trembley amb l’hidra d’aigua dolça no només van sorprendre els seus contemporanis per la seva espectacularitat, sinó que els seus resultats també van causar un enorme trasbals en la comunitat científica del seu temps. Idees com la «cadena del ser», el mecanisme de generació dels éssers vius o la mateixa naturalesa de l’ànima van ser fortament sacsejades.
Cultural identification, perceived discrimination and sense of community as predictors of life satisfaction among foreign partners of intercultural f…
2014
The aim of this paper was to analyze how cultural identification, perceived discrimination and the sense of community are related to life satisfaction among foreign partners in intercultural families. The study compared 105 and 95 foreign partners in mixed families resident in Italy and Spain, respectively. The phenomenon in both countries displays similar sociodemographic aspects. In contrast to Social Identity Theory, the results show that in both groups the foreign partner's identification with their own ethnic-‐cultural group is not associated with life satisfaction, nor does it increase perce…
L'organisation de l'université française à la lumière de ses processus de certification
1984
International audience; L'assimilation de l'école à la firme multiproduit autonomie soulève de nombreuses difficultés contextuelles. Malgré tout, l'utilisation au cas de l'établissement scolaire des outils classiques de la théorie économique de la production est susceptible de rendre compte des conséquences de ses pratiques éducatives sur un mode de fonctionnement. En faisant référence à ce cadre d'analyse, le propos de l'auteur est de révéler ici l'organisation actuelle de l'université française en examinant le rôle des divers acteurs dans le processus de production de diplômés et de vérifier, en définitive, l'existence d'un assortiment entre les établissements et leurs publics étudiants, …
Analyse coût-efficacité de l'enseignement assisté par ordinateur
1992
Cette recherche a pour objet d'étudier l'intégration de l'Enseignement Assisté par Ordinateur (EAO) dans la formation en cours d'emploi. L'étude s'articule en deux parties, théorique et pratique. En premier lieu, elle montre l'importance d'une approche en termes d'efficacité interne de la formation, et donc d'une analyse du rapport coût-efficacité. Appréhender le rapport coût-efficacité signifie aborder la structure et la problématique générale des coûts de l'EAO. Parallèlement à l'évolution des coûts, il s'agit d'étudier l'efficacité de l'EAO, c'est-à-dire évaluer les effets quantitatifs et qualitatifs de sa mise en oeuvre sur les trois protagonistes de la formation : les formés, le format…
La formation du capital humain : gestion par le marché ou gestion par l'État
1992
Human capital formation : state or market management This paper examines the likely difficulties of the management by the state of the education sector. Concerning the operation of the system, the analysis is based on international comparisons and on the French experience. As a whole the difficulties are linked to the weak accountability and justification in the use of the resources mobilized. This arises from the absence of the regulatory mechanisms as those existing in a market oriented activity. Economist's approach and tools (cost-effectiveness, production theory, ...) can be used as a substitute to such mechanisms. In a same line of argument, the article adresses the issue of external …
Politiques sectorielles et usage de la formation
1985
International audience; L'objectif du papier est d'analyser les aspects macro et micro-économiques des rapports entre politiques sectorielles et usage de la formation initiale. Nous montrerons ainsi que, d'une part, l'intensité différente avec laquelle les secteurs font appel aux divers niveaux de formation initiale est en relation avec leur évolution économique et que, d'autre part, pour un même niveau de formation, les différentes politiques de gestion de la main-d'oeuvre selon les secteurs induisent des trajectoires individuelles différentes.
