Objetivo: Este estudo investigou a relação entre recuperação judicial e a insolvência com nível de Real Earnings Management (REM) de empresas brasileiras de capital aberto no período 2016-2020. Metodologia: O modelo econométrico estimado foi a regressão de dados em painel. A variável dependente foi o nível de REM mensurado a partir de Roychowdhury (2006), que estima a manipulação de atividades reais por meio da análise das movimentações anormais de fluxo de caixa operacional, despesas discricionárias e custos de produção. A amostra coletada no período de 2016 a 2020 é composta por 723 empresas não financeiras. Resultados: Como principais resultados, o estudo conseguiu evidenciar que existe uma relação inversa entre a recuperação judicial e a insolvência com o gerenciamento de resultados. Ou seja, companhias que estão em recuperação judicial ou insolventes tendem a ter um menor gerenciamento de resultados. Os achados desta pesquisa sugerem que os gestores de empresas em recuperação judicial têm menos incentivos para se envolverem em práticas discricionárias, pois, assim, conseguem evidenciar sua dificuldade financeira e obter os benefícios judiciais do processo. Contribuições do Estudo: Embora muitos estudos avaliem os fatores que influenciam o gerenciamento de resultados, este trabalho busca contribuir com o estudo de gerenciamento de resultados contábeis e utiliza uma proxy operacional, associando-a com empresas em recuperação judicial. Além disso, com evidências de um menor gerenciamento de resultados por essas empresas, há uma possível melhora na perspectiva dos acionistas quanto ao futuro das finanças da empresa, e assim, também contribuindo para a tomada de decisão dos investidores.

This paper aims to map out how the field of dynamic capabilities has developed since the seminal studies by Teece et al. (1997) and Eisenhardt and Martin (2000). We identified 10,838 papers and used the Latent Dirichlet Allocation algorithm for topic modeling. We conducted two analyses: the first was based on the temporality and characteristics of the studies; the second was interpretative and based on the network of theoretical concepts. Results indicate an approximation between the ideas of the two seminal studies, which were initially viewed as opposite. We observe a movement to value relational issues, following a collective construction path, and paying less attention to the firm itself. Overall, we were able to understand the consolidation of the dynamic capabilities field; understand the core elements involved in the development of dynamic capabilities; set out the original and current concepts of dynamic capabilities; and indicate tendencies and a possible future research agenda.

The objective of this document is to provide conceptual elements that facilitate the understanding of professional standards in police forces, for which a research exercise was carried out with a qualitative, exploratory approach, taking as references technical reports and indexed articles, under the Information cleaning and classification methodology: Preferred reporting elements for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. In the investigation, literature was found that allowed us to propose a conceptual and functional foundation for professional standards based on some thoughts and currents of the administration, concluding firstly that their primary role in police forces is framed in coordination and organisational control and secondly, in the functional elements that allow contributing to the establishment of these. Finally, it was concluded that scientific and academic writings regarding professional standards in police forces are few; the lack of clear, unified conceptual frameworks, without defined structural elements, frames the results of this review in a novel proposal for police forces, thereby helping the interpretation and applicability of professional standards in governmental police organisations.

Research carried out with the aim of investigating the influence of political connection on the profit quality of Brazilian companies. The study proxy was electoral donations from 2002 to 2014, extracted from the Superior Electoral Court website, the economic-financial ones, from Economática. It used Stata 15, panel data, estimated by Generalized Least Squares, Modified Jones and Persistence by Francis, Lafond and Olsson (2005). It concluded that political connection influences the quality of earnings, the greater the donation, the greater the influence, only from the perspective of earnings management based on accruals, as for persistence, it was not possible to infer that a politically connected company presents more persistent earnings.

Purpose: Organize concepts of capabilities and business performance (BP) within the scope of business sustainability (BS). Originality/value: Concepts of capabilities and performance are fragmented in the BS literature. Therefore, we argue the need for more in-depth studies to organize them. This research identifies and organizes categories of capabilities and BP about BS-oriented organizations, bringing new perspectives on how organizations can better use their resources towards sustainable development. Design/methodology/approach: With the support of content analysis techniques, we conducted a broad integrative review of capabilities and performance in the scope of BS. Concepts were categorized into two analysis frameworks regarding capabilities and BP, respectively. Findings: Based on these two frameworks, first, nine core capabilities were identified and classified into the strategies of the Natural Resource-Based View (NRBV), in order to analyze them into time (short and long-term) and spatial (organization internal and external environments) perspectives. Following that, we identified conceptualizations for BP focusing on one or more BS domains (economic, social, and environmental). Finally, we deduced propositions, including discussions on how capabilities and BP can be constituted into intertemporal and spatial lines, to create a better connection between business and society, accommodating tensions and solving grand societal challenges, such as poverty and climate change.

The positions athletes play on the court have different requirements for the optimal performance of the players. However, no studies have yet examined volleyball to determine whether there are differences in athletes' self-efficacy depending on the position they play. Therefore, the study aimed to analyze the differences in self-efficacy according to the volleyball players' positions, specifically, whether a defensive (libero) position is associated with self-efficacy to a greater degree than offensive positions (e.g., attack players [hitters]). The sample was 300 high-performance volleyball athletes (Mage = 24.88 years, SD = 5.51; 55% male) with a mean practice time of 11.07 years (SD = 5.24). The Volleyball Self-Efficacy Scale was administered, and a one-way analysis of variance and a Tukey post hoc test was conducted to observe differences in levels of self-efficacy. The results showed that, in general, the self-efficacy dimensions and global self-efficacy in volleyball discriminated the athletes according to their positions. Differences in three dimensions were highlighted: Dimension 1, Self-Efficacy in the Game; Dimension 2, Defensive Self- Efficacy in Volleyball; and Dimension 3, Offensive Self-Efficacy in Volleyball. In D1, higher self-efficacy values were observed in the setters; in D2, higher self-efficacy values were observed in the liberos; and in D3, higher self-efficacy values were observed in the attackers, mainly opposite hitters. Overall, the results revealed differences in athletes' responses to the self-efficacy dimensions of the scale, which differentiated the players according to the particularities of their positions and demonstrated that, in certain positions, more than one type of efficacy is needed to achieve high performance.

Introdução: As estratégias de ritmo em competições de corrida têm sido objeto de estudo em diversas distâncias e diferentes percursos e relevos. Contudo, a aplicação dessas estratégias em ultramaratonas, especialmente em condições climáticas extremas, permanece pouco compreendida. Objetivo: Investigar as estratégias de corrida de ultramaratonistas em competições realizadas sob condições climáticas de frio extremo e neve. Métodos: Estudo observacional, seccional, com dados secundários, que contou com a participação de 31 atletas da Ice Ultra 2023 que percorreram aproximadamente 225 km ao longo de cinco dias consecutivos, enfrentando etapas de diferentes distâncias. Os dados coletados incluíram informações demográficas, tempo de prova, ritmo e velocidade dos corredores. Com base no desempenho, os participantes foram divididos em três grupos (Top 3, Top 10 e Top 20). Resultados: Finalizaram a corrida 70,9%, com um tempo médio de conclusão de 40:39±9:38h:min. Observou-se estratégia de corrida progressiva ao longo dos dias de competição, perfil de ritmo negativo durante a segunda etapa. Os três primeiros colocados foram mais rápidos em todas as etapas quando comparados aos 10 primeiros e 20 primeiros (p

Resumo Este artigo investiga os fatores referentes ao desempenho da função de compras da Receita Federal do Brasil (RFB), sob a perspectiva de dimensões de sua estrutura organizacional. Para tanto, a estratégia metodológica consistiu no levantamento de dados da RFB. Por meio de técnicas de sumarização e regressão, identificaram-se variáveis associadas à centralização, à formalização e à especialização da estrutura de compras, bem como suas relações com o desempenho da função na instituição. Os resultados indicaram relações significativas e positivas entre centralização e medidas de desempenho relativas ao tempo. Em contraste, a especialização ocupacional, em níveis intermediários, se associou de forma negativa com a competição, enquanto a experiência acumulada na área de compras se associou positivamente com os prazos de licitação. A formalização, por sua vez, apresentou associações que indicam um trade-off entre recursos financeiros e tempo. Consectuvamente, a pesquisa contribui para o campo da administração pública ao investigar a estrutura e o desempenho em compras numa instituição brasileira com atuação nacional, perscrutando hiatos identificados em artigos nacionais e internacionais, como os relativos ao país, à abrangência e à diversidade das compras analisadas, interpretando aspectos causais dessas associações.

A presente pesquisa, tem como objetivo investigar se o desenvolvimento de uma sequência de ensino interdisciplinar auxilia no desempenho de estudantes do Ensino Médio. O estudo é de caráter qualitativo, tendo como técnica de pesquisa a análise documental. A pesquisa foi realizada em uma turma de 2° ano do ensino médio de um colégio estadual na cidade de Santa Luzia-Bahia. Na turma estudada foi desenvolvida uma sequência de ensino interdisciplinar seguindo as fases Ciclo Investigativo, tendo como aporte teórico a Teoria da Atividade, durante o período letivo de 2022. Para coletar os dados foram utilizados três instrumentos: os diários de campo produzidos pelos estudantes, o questionário a posteriori e as pautas de notas de Matemática da turma. Os desempenhos se referem as atividades da I e II unidades que aconteceram segundo o planejamento curricular do professor sem intervenção da pesquisa, e o desempenho da III unidade está atrelado a sequência de ensino desenvolvida. Os resultados apontam que 16 dos 20 discentes que participaram do desenvolvimento da sequência de ensino obtiveram um avanço no desempenho quando comparados na II e III unidades. A partir da análise do questionário a posteriori, foi possível verificar que os conceitos de estatística trabalhados de forma interdisciplinar nas atividades foram mais entendidos pelos discentes.

The franchising system has attracted the attention of the market and academia because it can provide gains in scale, as well as breadth of brand recognition – from the franchisor’s point of view – and is seen as an alternative in reducing risks, on the part of the franchisee. Such a system is considered successful when it enables positive financial results for all those who invested their resources. This quantitative research aims to analyze the degree of influence of different knowledge transfer tools (mechanisms) between franchisor and franchisee on the performance of franchised units, using as bibliographical guidance the theories of Resources (RBV-Resource-Based View), of Knowledge (KBV-Knowledge-Based View) and Information Wealth. The dependent variables chosen to measure financial performance are the profitability and profitability of the network’s units. The independent variables – the knowledge transfer mechanisms – are initially grouped and classified among those with a low degree of information richness (LIR), whose focus is on the exchange and capture of explicit or codified knowledge (for example, reports, manuals, e-mails, intranet and database), and that of high degree of information richness (HIR), whose focus is on the exchange of tacit or uncodified knowledge (e.g. class training, field training, seminars, visits units and formal meetings). Empirical evidence shows that the choice of knowledge transfer mechanisms has an influence on profitability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a theoretical reflection on the fundamentals of using financial profitability as a performance indicator and on the contribution of state-owned enterprises to social wellbeing. In specific terms, it is intended to provide greater familiarity with academic discussions on the subject, to understand the limitations of transposing performance metrics of enterprises that pursue the greatest possible financial return for their shareholders, in measuring the performance of state-owned enterprises that in addition to pursuing economic objectives, they also pursue social, political and even national security objectives. The central question of the research is: does greater financial profitability reflect a good performance and contribution of state-owned enterprises to social well-being? In the search for the answer to the research question, a qualitative study was carried out through technical procedures of bibliographic research with a focus on critical content analysis. The conclusion of the research is that a high financial return does not always represent an efficient use of public resources and, therefore, a good performance of state-owned enterprises. Government policies, including those on setting and reviewing prices, the monopolistic nature in which some public companies operate can camouflage operational inefficiencies by companies, with high economic and social costs that are borne by the citizen.

This text consists of two articles and a journal paper. The first article critiques the existing theoretical framework for the adoption of corporate sustainability practices, suggesting that it should include institutional motives, stakeholder motives, and managerial motives. The second article proposes a theory-driven agenda for future research in strategic planning, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive theory that incorporates various factors and perspectives. Both articles contribute to the understanding of corporate sustainability practices and strategic planning, providing valuable insights for researchers in these areas. [Extracted from the article]

Resumo A literatura sobre Burocratas de Nível de Rua (BNR) indica diversos motivadores do comportamento que influenciam o desempenho desses profissionais, como discricionariedade, autointeresse, normas e interesse público. Apesar de esses aspectos ocorrerem de maneira simultânea, não se verificam estudos sobre quais agentes do comportamento são determinantes para o desempenho dos BNR. A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar a influência da interação de diferentes motivadores do comportamento do BNR em seu desempenho para implementar políticas públicas. Para isso, foi aplicado um questionário estruturado a 10.014 policiais rodoviários federais ativos no período da pesquisa, sendo 426 o número de respondentes. Os dados foram analisados com modelagem de equações estruturais. Os resultados evidenciaram que discricionariedade, normas e interesse público se associaram positivamente ao desempenho operacional. Para o desempenho institucional, somente as dimensões “normas” e “interesse público” se mostraram positivamente associadas. Os resultados indicam que a relevância dos diferentes motivadores do comportamento dos BNR varia de acordo com o desempenho observado e reiteram a assimetria de percepções entre os diferentes níveis organizacionais.

Introdução: A estimulação transcraniana de corrente contínua (ETCC) na função cerebral é descrita com indicativos de que influencie na excitabilidade cortical do indivíduo, induzindo alterações positivas nas áreas cognitivas e motoras. Assim a ETCC poderia ser identificada como recurso ergogênicos no meio esportivo, na busca por melhores resultados. Objetivo: Explorar o efeito agudo da ETCC aplicado em corredores de 5.000m. Métodos: Estudo experimental, controlado por Sham (efeito placebo), cego, em atletas de corrida de 5.000m, do sexo masculino, com idades de 18 a 32 anos. Dezoito atletas foram randomizados nos grupos Anodal (n=9, 29±7 anos, 63±8kg) e Sham (n=9, 25±4 anos, 67±12 Kg). Foram avaliados tempo total da corrida (t) e o torque de pico (Pt) em um momento pré e pós-estimulação. Resultados: O tempo de corrida, velocidade do grupo Anodal foi menor em comparação com o grupo Sham (p=0,02; IC95% 0,11–2,32; d=1,24) e (p=0,02, IC95% 0,05–2,20; d=1,15) respectivamente. Entretanto, nenhuma diferença foi encontrada em Pt (p=0,70). Conclusão: Os achados indicaram que a ETCC pode contribuir para otimizar, de forma aguda, o tempo/a velocidade de corredores de 5.000m.

Introdução – O desempenho dos profissionais de saúde refere-se às competências clínicas, conhecimentos e habilidades técnicas, enquanto o seu comprometimento está relacionado com o vínculo psicológico e emocional com o trabalho e a organização. A compreensão da interação entre estes conceitos é importante para otimizar os resultados em saúde. Objetivos – Explorar a extensão e a natureza da relação entre desempenho e comprometimento nos profissionais de saúde, identificando os fatores que influenciam esta relação e quais as metodologias utilizadas para o seu estudo. Métodos – Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura seguindo o protocolo Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). Resultados – Foram identificados 847 artigos, dos quais 14 foram incluídos para análise. Destaca-se a atualidade e universalidade do tema devido à profunda interação entre os constructos estudados. Alguns estudos apontam para correlações positivas diretas, enquanto outros evidenciam relações de influência mútua ou identificam o comprometimento como mediador em várias interações. Além disso, fatores como a satisfação no trabalho, o burnout, a liderança e a motivação também impactam a relação entre desempenho e comprometimento nos profissionais de saúde. Discussão – A relação entre desempenho e comprometimento nos profissionais de saúde é complexa e suscetível a diferentes influências. Conclusão – É pertinente a continuação de investigações para aprofundar o conhecimento nesta área, já que as organizações de saúde enfrentam o desafio contínuo de proporcionar uma assistência de qualidade aos pacientes, ao mesmo tempo que tentam gerir de forma eficiente recursos limitados.

O treinamento resistido vem sendo um dos exercícios físicos mais escolhidos por indivíduos que almejam melhor desempenho físico e ganho de massa magra. A alimentação efetuada antes do treino é primordial para a performance durante a prática de atividade física. Entre os benefícios desta refeição podemos citar a capacidade de evitar manifestações de mal-estar, permitindo um maior tempo de treino. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a carga glicêmica (CG) e o índice glicêmico (IG) das refeições pré-treino em praticantes de musculação e correlacionar com o desempenho, através da análise subjetiva de sintomas de mal-estar durante o treino de musculação. A amostra foi composta por 45 praticantes de musculação com idades entre 18 e 35 anos, de ambos os sexos. Para a coleta de dados foi realizada a aplicação online do questionário adaptado de Ackel-D'Elias. Além disso, foi realizada uma ligação para cada participante em que foram coletadas informações sobre sua alimentação habitual antes do treino. Ao término do estudo foi possível verificar que a maioria dos participantes apresentaram sintomas de mal-estar durante o exercício físico independente do IG da refeição. Além disso foi visto que o consumo de carboidratos com alto e moderado IG, aceleraram o retorno da fome durante o treino e o consumo da refeição pré-treino antes de 60 minutos do exercício causou sintomas de empachamento nos participantes.

Resumo Este artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre a crescente inserção de espaços de lazer em ambientes de trabalho. Parte-se da hipótese de que esses espaços constituem uma forma de apropriação, por parte do empregador, do tempo de não trabalho de seus empregados. As referências conceituais vêm, principalmente, das noções de “Sociedade disciplinar” (Foucault), com a ideia de corpos dóceis conformados pela vigilância, e de “Sociedade de desempenho” (Han), mostrando como a vivência nesses espaços de exploração do tempo livre dos empregados pode ser facilmente confundida com uma experiência de liberdade. Conclui-se assinalando a participação ativa do trabalhador na sua própria exploração e apontando a necessidade de discutir as implicações psicossociais advindas dessa prática em franca expansão no capitalismo contemporâneo.

This article investigates the performance of the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service's (FRS) procurement function from the perspective of the dimensions of its organizational structure. Using data collected from the FRS, the methodological strategy consisted of summarization and regression techniques, identifying variables linked to the centralization, formalization, and specialization of the procurement structure, and the relationship of these elements with its performance. The results indicated significant and positive relationships between centralization and time-related performance measures. In contrast, occupational specialization at intermediate levels was negatively associated with competition, while accumulated experience in the procurement area was positively associated with bidding times. Formalization showed associations that indicate a trade-off between financial resources and time. Consequently, the research contributes to the field of public administration by investigating the structure and performance of procurement in a Brazilian institution with national operations, looking into gaps identified in national and international articles, such as those related to the country, scope, and diversity of the purchases analyzed, and interpreting the causal aspects of these associations.

The literature on Street-Level Bureaucracy (SLB) points to several behavioral motivators that influence their performance, such as Discretion, Self-interest, Norms, and Public Interest. Although these aspects occur simultaneously, there are no studies on which behavioral motivators are decisive for the performance of SLB. This research aims to analyze the influence of the interaction of different behavioral motivators of the SLB in their performance in implementing public policies. To achieve the proposed objective, a structured questionnaire was applied to 10,014 Federal Highway Police officers active during the research period, with 426 respondents. Data were analyzed using structural equation analysis. The results showed that Discretion, Norms, and Public Interest were positively associated with Operating Performance. For Institutional Performance, only the Norms and Public Interest dimensions were positively associated. The results indicate that the relevance of the different behavioral motivators of the SLB varies according to the performance variable observed and reiterate the asymmetry of perceptions between the different organizational levels.

This research aims to investigate the moderating effect of environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosure on the sensitivity of executive pay to market performance (pay-performance sensitivity - PPS) in Brazilian companies listed in the B3 IBrX-100 index. It also investigates the factors that influence PPS in order to seek explanations for the effect of ESG disclosure on PPS and to identify which theoretical perspective (agency theory, stakeholder theory, or the good governance view) can support the results found for Brazilian companies. It highlights the importance of monitoring ESG disclosure in the Brazilian capital market, as well as helping to understand whether or not ESG disclosure contributes to the extraction of shareholder income by executives, and provides insights for new research to be conducted considering ESG disclosure. The results have implications for understanding the principal-agent relationship and for understanding ESG disclosure in conflict mitigation when used by companies to improve PPS. A total of 81 companies were analyzed between 2016 and 2021. The method used for the main analyses was the ordinary least squares regression model (with robust standard errors), while quantile regression was used for the robustness analysis. The results indicate that ESG disclosure maximizes the sensitivity of executive pay to market performance. This study contributes to the literature by providing new evidence on PPS and identifying which theoretical perspective supports the results found in the Brazilian context. It also contributes to organizations by showing that ESG investments can mitigate agency problems and by revealing the importance of ESG implementation for firms, given the evidence of a positive impact on PPS. It contributes to society by encouraging organizations to invest in ESG issues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The personal development methodology, coaching, is gaining more and more ground in the corporate environment, especially among professionals who want to make changes to achieve their professional goals. This study carried out coaching sessions with graduating students on the Executive Secretarial course at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), with the aim of boosting their academic results in terms of preparing the Course Conclusion Paper (TCC). The methodological procedures were based on bibliographical research, action research under a qualitative approach, using content analysis for the data collected. In general, the results showed that the students had concerns about their perceptions of their behavioral performance during the development of the CBT. It can be concluded that, after the sessions, there was a change in the behavior of these students, since the coaching process motivated them to develop a better-quality Capstone and to meet the deadlines set by the coordinators, going on to the defense, in which they were all approved. This technique is therefore considered to be an innovative strategy that contributes to reducing retention rates at the university. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The ergogenecity of caffeine (CAF) and pre-exercise music have been studied extensively in male and mixed-gender groups, but there is limited information on their synergistic effects in females. This study assessed the effects of combining a low dose of CAF with warm-up music on taekwondo specific performance, perceived exertion (RPE), and psychological aspects in female athletes. In a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study, 16 female taekwondo athletes (M ± SD; age: 17.69 ± 0.60 years) performed the taekwondo-specific agility test (TSAT), 10 s frequency speed of kick test (FSKT-10s) and its multiple version (FSKT-mult) under the following conditions: 1) no supplement with music (NS+M); 2) no supplement without music (control); 3) CAF without music (CAF+NM), 4) placebo without music (PL+NM), 5) CAF with music (CAF+M), 6) PL with music (PL+M). After each test, athletes rated their RPE, feeling scale (FS), felt arousal scale (FAS) and physical enjoyment (PACES). CAF+M induced better physical performance than other conditions on the FSKT-10s, FSKT-mult, and more desirable psychophysiological responses including RPE post_TSAT, RPE post_FSKT-10s, PACES post_FSKT-10s, FS, FAS post_warm-up, FAS post_FSKT-10s and FAS post_FSKTmult (all p < 0.05). Except for PL+M, CAF+M also elicited more desirable responses than other conditions for FAS post_TSAT (p < 0.05). Furthermore, CAF+M and CAF+NM conditions enhanced TSAT, PACES post_TSAT, RPE post_FSKTmult greater than the other conditions (p < 0.05). Preceding warm-up music stimulus with a low dose of CAF may be a more efficient strategy to enhance physical performance and affective valence in female taekwondo athletes compared with using either strategy in isolation.

Objective: Evaluate the performance of Environmental Health Surveillance in implementing policies for access to drinking water in Sobral-Ceará. Method: Application of the evaluative model EGIPSS (Évaluation Globale et Intégrée de la Performance des Systèmes de Sant). Originality/Relevance: Data treatment reduces the gap in discussions about environmental transformations and their repercussions concerning the health-disease process and the environment. As a relevance, it clarifies the importance of the theme of Environmental Health Surveillance along with its impacts and influences applied to the SUS (Brazilian Public Health Care System). In addition, there are their contributions to urban and regional planning, since the main results will bring subsidies to public managers in order to strengthen, for example, water treatment and distribution systems, strongly impacting the urban and regional environment under environmental and health aspects. Results: The results showed that, from 2017 to 2021, the performance levels of the actions carried out by the Environmental Health Surveillance were good, regular and wrong. Water quality was one of the main tools carried out by the service. Through the opinion poll, the population was divided about the issues of water quality and quantity. Social/Management Contributions: Environmental monitoring by the point of view of human health becomes fundamental because it favors a solid contribution to the construction of public policies and decision-making.
