Further examination of the organizational culture scale of artifacts
2009
The construct validity of a 10-item Organizational Culture Scale Focused on Artifacts oriented to measure traditional culture was analyzed under the unidimensionality hypothesis of the scale. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to assess the unidimensional structure, which took into account the method effects associated with reverse-worded items. The results based on the data from a sample of 926 subjects, 79.8% male, mean age of 33.4 years (SD = 12.8), working in different types of companies suggested the proposed unidimensional factor structure, with the elimination of two items from the scale. The resulting 8-item scale was reanalyzed, this time with the data of a second split-sam…
Preliminary organizational culture scale focused on artifacts
2006
In this preliminary study, an organizational culture scale was developed to assess cultural artifacts according to Schein´s typology (1985). It includes a set of cultural artifacts to measure the extent to which an organization is more or less traditional. A total of 249 managers from a range of different companies responded to the items. Preliminary analysis yielded a one-dimensional scale with 14 items with high internal consistency and homogeneity.

Gag reflex control through acupuncture: a case series.

Il sacrificio di Ifigenia fra Ditti-Settimio e Draconzio
2022
L’intervento si propone una disamina dell’episodio di Ifigenia nell’«Orestis tragoedia», presentato e analizzato sia in rapporto alla tradizione classica – in particolare, ovviamente, quella latina – tenuta presente da Draconzio nella delineazione della vicenda e nella presentazione della figura della figlia di Agamennone, sia in rapporto con la tradizione tardo-antica, in particolare con la narrazione di Ditti-Settimio. Attraverso l’analisi dell’episodio in questione, si cerca di mettere in risalto i fattori di continuità e di innovazione nel trattamento del mito di Ifigenia (e dei miti classici in generale) da parte del poeta africano. The intervention proposes an examination of the episo…
Jerarquización y preferencia de valores en los estudiantes de secundaria = Hierarchial structuring and preference of values in the students of second…
2014
This article describes a study of the values and variables that influence hierarchical structuring in secondary school students. The main objectives are to determine which are the preferred values and to compare in what manner gender and age are related to the values of adolescents. The study is conducted with a sample (n=114) of male and female secondary school students, between 14 and 18 years old. The results show that the two variables (gender and age) are related to the subject’s values. Girls prefer final values, more abstract and internalized values; opposite to the instrumental, more egocentric and material values, preferred by boys. Regarding age influence, as they grow older, adol…
