O objetivo desta pesquisa é identificar e analisar fatores determinantes na adoção e uso de aplicativos delivery e sua relação com o desempenho das empresas adotantes, através de uma extensão do modelo Teoria Unificada de Aceitação e Uso de Tecnologia (UTAUT2). Sua contribuição está na incorporação das variáveis de desempenho de processos e financeiro ao modelo para um contexto de consumo business to business (B2B) em que a adoção da tecnologia é facultativa (voluntária) as organizações. A abordagem metodológica adotada foi a survey, elaborada em plataforma eletrônica e aplicada a uma população de 702 empresas usuárias de aplicativos delivery no setor food service. Para análise dos dados utilizou-se a Modelagem de Equações Estruturais, especificamente, Partial Least Squares (PLS), por meio do software SmartPLS. Dentre os principais resultados, destacam-se: existe relação entre as condições facilitadoras e a intenção de uso de aplicativos; a expectativa de desempenho está associada à intenção de uso; a intenção de uso está associada ao uso; o uso está associado ao desempenho de processos que, consequentemente, influencia no desempenho financeiro na firma. O modelo final de pesquisa possibilita integrar a adoção e o uso com o valor de negócio da tecnologia, fenômenos, geralmente, tratados separadamente na literatura. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we sought to identify the source of legitimacy that guided the adoption of Hospital Accreditation in four hospitals in Rio de Janeiro, in addition to assessing whether its adoption was aligned with issues of organizational efficiency. Using Scott's (1995) concepts about types of legitimacy, we conducted a survey consisting of in-depth interviews and semi-structured questionnaires with managers and employees. The result showed normative legitimacy best explained the adoption of hospital accreditation in public and private hospitals in Rio de Janeiro. The search for socially accepted normative values, such as quality of care and patient safety, determined the goals of hospitals that adopted hospital accreditation. The search for efficiency was also proven, evidencing that even in highly institutionalized environments, as in the case of accredited hospitals (Ruef and Scott, 1998), efficiency can go against the search for legitimacy, dismissing hospital certification practices as mere organizational myths.

Context: organizational culture tends to be investigated based on organizational consensus degree, even when it is seen as shared meanings. However, sharing meanings does not imply having the same opinions. On the contrary, there may be agreement on which cultural elements are relevant, even when opinions differ from each other, a fact that enables individuals to share cultural schemas, although they disagree with each other's answers. Objective: we aim to use a scale of organizational values adapted to the Brazilian context to map cultural schemas based on a survey conducted with 207 workers from different companies. Method: recent advancements in the cultural cognition field have enabled the present tutorial article to map organizational culture schemas based on correlational class analysis. This method divides the sample into schematic classes by listing respondents based on the linear dependence between answers given to a questionnaire, rather than on agreement between respondents. Results: two different schematic classes (reactive and resilient) that condition the effect of attitudes and organizational structure on employee appreciation and satisfaction. Conclusions: besides providing a tutorial on how to use the investigated technique, the study points out its relevance for organizational culture field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this research is to analyze the homicides of women in the southeastern region of Brazil from 2003 to 2014, from a perspective of social and economic factors that could correlate with this social problem. We adopt the perspective of gender violence and public policy to understand the phenomenon and seek ways to overcome this problem. To reach the goal we divided the research into seven sections. Initially we presented some barriers related to the feminine gender and then, we pointed out a section that seeks to conceptualize and discuss violence. In the third section, we briefly present what public policies are. The next section is about the methods in which we use simple linear regressions. The sixth presents the results found, with a final model composed of a social variable with a prediction of 87.20% (R² = 0.872). And so, we conclude that public policies geared to social and economic areas can be a good outcome in confronting violence against women. This research aims to contribute to studies related to public policies regarding violence against women, seeking to bring an understanding about this social problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this research we use the theoretical perspective of feminist geography to analyze violence against women in Brazil. The purpose of this study is to understand how violent homicides of women relate to socioeconomic factors in the period 1981-2016. Methodologically, we used a multiple linear regression with socioeconomic variables to understand the phenomenon. The results point to a final model composed of two socioeconomic variables with a prediction of 96,6% (R² = 0.966). Thus, we conclude that violence against women is related to the socioeconomic vulnerability of the country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The intention of this work is to analyze how the contributions of Celso Furtado within a postcolonial vision can contribute to the debates related to Organizational Studies. To accomplish this, we divide the work into four stages. We started by presenting a brief history about Celso Furtado and then, we present how his works had an interest in social growth. In the third section, we briefly present a history and relevance of postcolonial theory to organizational studies. Finally, it is demonstrated that the work of Celso Furtado on Development and Underdevelopment can be interpreted within the postcolonial theory. Therefore, we conclude that, like other authors in Brazil, Celso Furtado could be interpreted by a postcolonial view, since the concepts of this theory were inherent in his works, especially the work entitled Development and Underdevelopment. This paper aims to contribute to organizational studies, highlighting postcolonial thought as an exit to face coloniality and especially epistemic colonialism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
