A garantia constitucional da Responsabilidade Gerencial no Brasil e na Itália
2020
Rule of Law presupposes the provision of efficient public services. In this context, the managerial liability of public administration is highlighted. The main sustained theoretical hypothesis states that the exercise of managerial positions by the high bureaucracy and to seek results with autonomy and with the power to plan and execute public policies is the appropriate way to relate politics and public administration. In Brazil, the managerial public administration model and accountability were introduced especially through State Reform in the nineties of the last century, by Constitutional Amendment no 19 of 2008 and currently by Federal Law no 13.934 of 2019. In turn, the analysis of th…
Una ricerca esplorativa con focus group. I dirigenti d'azienda tra management e fattore umano
2011
Scritti in onore di Pellegrino Capaldo
2014
La qualità dei servizi è stata riconosciuta come un rilevante aspetto caratterizzante la performance dell’azienda pubblica, analogamente alla capacità di operare secondo criteri di efficienza e nel rispetto dei vincoli di bilancio. Sebbene sia possibile riscontrare alcuni significativi casi di adozione di politiche di customer satisfaction nelle amministrazioni pubbliche italiane, a tutt’oggi il tema presenta significative criticità, specialmente in ordine agli aspetti metodologici e agli strumenti operativi che consentano di integrare dette politiche nel sistema di programmazione e controllo delle aziende che erogano tali servizi. Il presente lavoro adotta una diversa prospettiva di analis…
Manager e cambiamento organizzativo alla Biennale di Venezia
2008
Nel 1998 il legislatore ha avviato in Biennale una fase di rin- novamento alla cui guida si sono alternati tre presidenti. Confrontandone strategia e operato, nonché le relazioni che hanno instaurato con l’ambiente di riferimento, si intende verificare il grado di successo del cambiamento nonché il diverso ruolo gioca- to dal presidente, dalla strategia adottata, dalle pressioni politiche, legislative e del mondo culturale. In altri termini, si vuole valutare se il cambiamento previsto dal legislatore sia stato effettivamente realizzato e in quale misura, oppure se, al contrario, si registri la mera adesione formale ai nuovi valori aziendali. L’analisi ha evidenziato come ciascuno dei tre p…
TEORIE DELLA LEADERSHIP. NOTE SULLA FORMAZIONE E LA VALUTAZIONE DEI CAPI
2017
L’autorevole rivista The Leadership Quarterly, interamente dedicata ai temi della leadership, ha recentemente pubblicato un approfondito studio che fa il punto sulla letteratura esistente in materia di leadership dopo decenni di ricerche. Scopo di questo articolo è mettere a fuoco le implicazioni di questo studio per ricercatori, responsabili delle risorse umane e manager impegnati nella direzione di strutture organizzative aziendali. L’interrogativo al quale queste note cercano di rispondere è: quali sono i criteri di riferimento per un corretto programma di formazione e valutazione dei capi? Sulla base dell’analisi della letteratura sembrano emergere quattro dimensioni del comportamento l…

Rethinking the risk matrix
2011
So far risk has been mostly defined as the expected value of a loss, mathematically PL (being P the probability of an adverse event and L the loss incurred as a consequence of the adverse event). The so called risk matrix follows from such definition. This definition of risk is justified in a long term “managerial” perspective, in which it is conceivable to distribute the effects of an adverse event on a large number of subjects or a large number of recurrences. In other words, this definition is mostly justified on frequentist terms. Moreover, according to this definition, in two extreme situations (high-probability/low-consequence and low-probability/high-consequence), the estimated risk…
Intrasexual competition at work: Sex differences in the jealousy-evoking effect of rival characteristics in work settings
2010
Sex differences in jealousy-evoking rival characteristics in the relationship with a supervisor at work were examined in a community sample of 188 individuals from Argentina. Among men, the rivals’ social dominance and communal attributes evoked the most jealousy, followed by physical dominance. Among women, the rival’s communal attributes evoked the most jealousy, followed by social dominance and physical attractiveness. For men physical dominance of the rival and for women physical attractiveness of the rival evoked relatively more jealousy, especially among those high in intrasexual competition and confronted with a same-sex supervisor. When confronted with an opposite-sex supervisor, s…
Managers’ Moral Struggle : A Case Study on Ethical Dilemmas and Ethical Decision-making in the Context of Immigration
2019
This qualitative study explores the types of ethical dilemmas that Finnish managers working in reception centres for asylum seekers have encountered and whether the moral intensity of the ethical issues was observable in the ethical decision-making. It concludes that the majority of the managers interviewed encountered ethical dilemmas relating to the termination of reception services. The ethical dilemmas were stratified into seven groups: ambiguous or complete absence of relevant instructions, lack of support, conflicting values, withholding information, pressure, discretionary stress, and unjust decisions on asylum applications. In addition, various dimensions of moral intensity were obs…
