Current major research project:<\/b><\/p>\n

Culture and attitudes in the workplace in Macao<\/span><\/h4>\n

Summary:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This project is part of an ongoing international\u00a0cross-cultural\u00a0about\u00a0attitudes\u00a0in the workplace, in more than 100 countries, the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness research (GLOBE-\u00a0<\/span>https:\/\/globeproject.com\/about?page_id=intro#globe2020_intro<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n

The main aims are to: (1) explore the major societal drivers of culture change; (2) investigate the relationship between national culture and interpersonal trust; and (3) compare how leadership perceptions differ across genders and cultures. About 500 middle-managers in Macao have answered our questionnaire. The next step will be the data analysis and the dissemination of findings.\u00a0We expect to contribute to a better understanding of intercultural relationships in the workplace, namely regarding cultural change, leadership, trust, and gender issues, both in Macao and around world.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

This project explores employees\u2019 entity justice perceptions about the organization as a whole, their supervisor, work-colleagues, and subordinates, in Portugal and Angola. We relate these justice perceptions to individual, organizational, and cultural differences between the countries; and explore the implications for employees and organizations. The thesis includes two conceptual studies, which review the extant literature to explore factors underlying country differences in the ways employees develop and react to evaluations of justice; and how those sociocultural factors interact to explain country differences. Additionally, it includes three empirical studies, which apply and expand the GLOBE project cultural model to characterize values and practices in Portugal and Angola; explore the motivational effect of individual cultural orientations (i.e., interaction of cultural values and practices) and orientation consistency (i.e., discrepancy between cultural practices and values) on the relationship between entity justice and commitment; and finally, explore the relationship between entity justice, use of social and personal resources and perceived effectiveness of how host country national and expatriate middle-managers handle work events We investigate innovative justice foci, illustrating the importance of perceptions regarding colleagues and subordinates, and showing that perceptions regarding different entities have distinct antecedents and outcomes. We adopt a dynamic multi-trait approach to country differences, exploring the relationships between values and practices, in addition to individual and organizational differences. Finally, we explore seldom studied cultural contexts. By bringing organizational justice and cross-cultural research together we hope to shed light on uncharted areas of the justice experiences of employees in different countries.<\/p>","post_title":"Organizational justice across entities and cultures: An investigation in Portugal and Angola","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"organizational-justice-across-entities-and-cultures-an-investigation-in-portugal-and-angola-individual-grant-by-the-portuguese-foundation-for-science-and-technology","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-08-25 09:57:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-08-25 09:57:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/usj.hogodigital.com\/en\/?post_type=project&p=13794","menu_order":0,"post_type":"project","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"blocks":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dlcre.usj.edu.mo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people\/12082"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dlcre.usj.edu.mo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dlcre.usj.edu.mo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/person"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dlcre.usj.edu.mo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14226"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dlcre.usj.edu.mo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"person_role","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dlcre.usj.edu.mo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/person_roles?post=12082"},{"taxonomy":"research_area","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dlcre.usj.edu.mo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research_areas?post=12082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
