This study proposes stakeholder satisfaction as a metric for assessing a company’s general performance. The assessment can be performed using the Stakeholder Satisfaction Scale (SSS) developed, for this purpose, in this study. Once the overall performance score of the company is obtained, the question arises of how to explain it. To answer this question, an additional scale was also developed in this study—the Performance Culture Scale (PCS). To confirm the empirical usefulness of these scales, this study sought to verify the predictive relationship between culture and organizational performance. A total of 1376 working adults participated in three studies: 1) validity evidence for the SSS; 2) evidence of validity for PCS; 3) predictive relationship of organizational culture on stakeholder satisfaction. The results showed that both scales are empirically feasible, and the positive predictive effect of organizational culture on organizational performance, as measured by stakeholder satisfaction, was corroborated.

This article presents an analysis of the performance of consulting firms in the privatization of the Telebrás System. Based on a brief review of the role these companies played in capitalism, the study explores their work in defining the strategy for attracting investors, designing the regulatory body, formulating the competition model, the Grant Plan, and of universalization goals. The typical dynamics of the consultancy work allowed them to become the link, or the alloy, between the interests of the Brazilian government and foreign investors, to build a neoliberal model for the sector.

The objective of this work is to show how technology is important in educating people at work and how qualification or training can influence performance and productivity in companies. The purpose of the course completion work is to show the difficulties encountered by many workers from various sectors in adapting to the system (work with computers), to show what companies do to remedy this problem and to propose solutions according to the technology currently used. . When analyzing the situations of companies that use an ERP integrated management system, many situations were encountered in which most users are used to technology, that is, many of them do not have adequate experience or knowledge to use systems according to their function. . In addition, the company itself does not prepare newcomers and/ or employees with a long time in the company to adapt according to the technology used by them. Some solutions were found to solve the problems, such as the availability of online and printed manuals. In addition, another factor that contributed to the education of users were workshops and practical training. After this period, surveys were carried out on post-training performance and most people claim that performance at work improved signifi cantly, generating great results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

I investigate the relationship between unethical culture and financial performance based on a text analysis of over 100,000 employee reviews posted at Glassdoor in Brazil. An original measure of unethical culture is created based on five ethical dimensions companies need to avert for an ethical culture to flourish. After creating an original list of around 1,400 terms, I find that companies scoring higher in unethical culture are less profitable and that this relationship is likely to be economically relevant. Of the five dimensions that make up an unethical culture, organizational unfairness, lack of awareness, and fear of retaliation are the three most strongly negatively related to performance. To my knowledge, this is the first paper to document a link between (un)ethical culture and corporate performance using online reviews. For investors, this paper contributes by showing that ethical culture measured by employee reviews is a value-relevant source of information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses the relationship between geographic diversification of businesses and organizational performance, based on the Resource-Based View and the Contingency Perspective. The study proposes a theoretical framework to analyze the effects of international diversification on firm performance, considering the dynamism, complexity, and munificence of the operational environment. International diversification is defined as the expansion of businesses into different countries and geographic regions, being a growth and risk reduction strategy. The influence of the external environment in emerging economies is more pronounced than in developed economies, and international diversification emerges as an important factor in these high-risk economies. The Resource-Based View theory argues that a firm's resources and capabilities are relevant determinants of its profitability. International diversification can affect firm performance depending on the use of resources and capabilities. The text presents different scenarios and discusses the effects of international diversification and environmental dimensions on firm performance. According to the theories presented, in a more stable and less challenging national environment, firms can concentrate their resources on the domestic market, improving their performance and ensuring competitive advantage. On the other hand, in a more dynamic and complex national environment, greater involvement in the international market can harm organizational performance. Additionally, the availability of resources in the home country also influences the relationship between international diversification and performance. More munificent environments can provide external resources that benefit sustainable firm growth. The integration of these theoretical perspectives allows for a more comprehensive analysis of the relationship between geographic diversification and firm performance. The text discusses the analysis of international diversification and its effects on firm performance, taking into account the environment in which they are embedded. Previous research has investigated the effect. [Extracted from the article]

Theoretical implications: The main theoretical implication is that the study presents a research model that seeks to measure the impact of digital strategies on digital business performance, mediated by the connectivity capacity of the ecosystem. Originality / value: The value of the study is due to the fact that the model is applied in the context of digital transformation, exploring digital capabilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article investigates the relationships between performance indicators, controls, and strategically aligned performance. The study shows that planning controls are less important than alignment of priorities and indicators in achieving high levels of organizational performance. The research was conducted with a sample of 89 Brazilian companies and used partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and necessary condition analysis (NCA) to identify managerial controls that are sufficient and necessary conditions for superior performance. The results suggest that a high level of strategically aligned indicators is associated with high performance. [Extracted from the article]

This study investigates the effects of enabling characteristics of budgetary control on the psychological capital of managers with budgetary responsibility. The results show that enabling budgetary control has positive effects on managers' psychological capacities, such as self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience, which impact individual and organizational performance. However, internal and global transparency does not present the same benefits. These results can help organizations develop management control systems that promote the psychological capital of their employees. [Extracted from the article]

The present work has the main objective of identifying the performance of the private apparatuses of hegemony and their organic intellectuals in the elaboration of the BNC-Initial Teacher Training. The specific objectives are: to point out aspects of the configuration of the managerial state in Brazil; relate the content of the current initial teacher training policy to economic and political dimensions; to identify elements of the action of the private devices of hegemony of the business community and its intellectuals in the elaboration of the BNC-initial formation. We developed this work from a qualitative approach, based on documentary and bibliographical research. For the analysis, we consider the State Reform and how the implications resulting from the productive restructuring process influence the development of the current initial teacher training policy. Based on the analysis of Report CNE/CP No. 22/2019 and Resolution CNE/CP No. 2/2019, we consider the performance of representatives of the business community in the preparation of the BNC-Formação, given its configuration within the National Council of Education (CNE) and, consequently, the way in which this interference occurs to meet the interests of the groups they represent. We observed that the presented document complies with the managerial conception of training, derived from the mercantile logic, which is supported by a structure focused on the control and production of results. We indicate that the current teacher training policy is in line with the agenda of the human training project of the bourgeois hegemony. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: The objective of this study was to analyze how contingency factors and the use of management control systems are associated with sustainable management practices in organizations. Methodology: A field study (survey) was carried out through questionnaires and semistructured interviews with managers linked to management control systems in two creative companies in the telecommunications sector. The sample has a non-probabilistic character and the data were treated using the content analysis technique of Bardin (2011). Results: The findings show that technology, organizational culture, suppliers and customers are contingency factors associated with the adoption of sustainable management practices by the organizations in the study. The research results indicate that the use of an interactive management control system is an essential tool. for the establishment of communication between managers and employees at operational levels of organizations, supporting the implementation of environmental management initiatives. Diagnostic control has been used to monitor goals and implement environmental management practices with a positive impact on organizational performance through indicators of cost reduction, profitability, customer satisfaction and increased sales. Contributions of the study: The study provided dissemination in the literature of studies on management controls from the perspective of the Theory of Contingency, above all, contributing to organizations to create environmental awareness allied to the improvement of their performance with management control practices. In addition, the research is relevant for organizations to develop actions to reorganize their processes and meet society's pressures for the adoption of sustainable practices, increasing competitiveness and improving organizational performance.

The work demands and the work-family interference are seen as antecedents of several negative constructs for health and well-being in the workplace, such as burnout and low job satisfaction. This study aims to observe the effect of the work-family conflict and the demands of work on burnout and job satisfaction, the mediating effect of the work-family conflict on work demands and burnout, and the mediating effect of burnout on relationship between job demands and job satisfaction. Through a sample of 505 participants, 142 males and 363 females (Mage = 37.11), the results show that the work demands influence the work-family and family-work conflict, and that both variables have negative effects burnout and job satisfaction. Additionally, they support the mediations of the work-family conflict and burnout, with the respective relationships. Both the work-family conflict and the high work demands lead to significant negative work outcomes for organizations, so prevention through practices and a family-friendly culture will promote well-being and health mental health at work, as well as contribute to better organizational performance.

Purpose: To analyze the influence of interpersonal trust (IT) on organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB). Design/methodology/approach: The research is classified as descriptive, quantitative approach and research strategy is a survey. With that, 352 individuals, from 41 IT companies in Brazil, mostly from Rio Grande do Sul, participated in the research. Research, Practical & Social Implications: The results revealed a positive influence of IT on OCB, which means that the more workers perceive interpersonal trust at work, the more likely they are to be involved in OCB. Thus, this empirical evidence can allow managers to broaden their understanding of the behavior of their employees, so that they can encourage the development of discretionary behaviors in the organization, and may even improve individual and organizational performance. This study presents a theoretical-empirical advance by addressing the influence of IT, as an antecedent, on OCBs in the IT sector. Originality/value: The IT and the OCB favor working relationships, which can have a positive impact on the organizational context. In this survey, trust with the supervisor is higher than trust with colleagues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: The research aims to identify to what extent the use of mobile social networks (MSN) by employees, for non-work purposes, negatively impacts the organizational performance of micro, small and medium-sized companies. Design/methodology/approach: As a method, a survey was adopted for data collection with managers and employees of micro, small and medium-sized companies in two phases and the Partial Least Squares (PLS) technique for data analysis. Research, Practical & Social implications: As results, the following stand out: i) the size of MSN precedes its use and impacts on the frequency of use; ii) organizational flexibility contributes to motivating the use of networks at work; iii) distraction at work, through digital distraction, negatively impacts process performance. Balanced strategies are required to counteract the negative effects of using MSN for non-work purposes. Originality/value: The study presents findings regarding the impact of digital distraction and distraction at work on the performance of processes in organizations, a phenomenon with incipient results in the literature.
