Highperformance work systems and employee innovative behaviour
2015
La literatura tradicional sobre los Recursos Humanos (RH), ha dedicado importantes esfuerzos a analizar la relación entre las prácticas de RH y los resultados organizativos. Las prácticas de RH se consideran el medio a través del cual las empresas pueden influir en las habilidades y comportamientos de los empleados, y así lograr los objetivos organizativos (Collins y Smith, 2006; Chen y Huang, 2009). Varios estudios empíricos han demostrado la existencia de la relación positiva entre la gestión de los RH y el desempeño organizativo. Sin embargo, la investigación sobre cómo y por qué esta relación se produce es todavía escasa. En esta línea, varios autores han destacado la necesidad de gener…

Planning to meet challenges in shrinking rural regions. Towards innovative approaches to local planning
2023
In this article we ask to what extent is current demographic development reflected in the present planning and policy practice of shrinking municipalities; whether there is a focus on strategies and measures for population growth; and, finally, to what extent do politicians and planners think we should change the way we plan based on the expected demographic changes. Our study illustrates how challenging it is for shrinking municipalities to break with established practices and modes of policy development and to adopt a more sustainable position. The ‘stigma’ of shrinking (Sousa & Pinho 2015) is at odds with the ideals of the local politicians. However, we find that the response in planning…
