Este estudo objetivou delinear o perfil das redes de cooperação configuradas entre os pesquisadores envolvidos no Congresso USP de Controladoria e Contabilidade, mapeando, a partir da estrutura de relacionamento, a forma de cooperação manifestada no período 2001-2009. Trata-se de um artigo descritivo, de natureza quantitativa que, a partir de conceitos de redes sociais de colaboração, mapeou a estrutura de relações configurada entre os 1.120 autores envolvidos nos 882 artigos científicos veiculados em 9 edições do Congresso. Os dados foram coletados dos anais do evento e tratados trienalmente com auxílio do software Ucinet 6.0. Os achados evidenciaram que parte dos atores ocupou posição privilegiada na estrutura da rede, mostrando-se abertos a outros grupos e assumindo posições de pontes que ligaram pesquisadores que não estariam conectados sem a sua presença. Em linhas gerais, o perfil das redes de cooperação mostrou-se predominantemente caracterizado pela presença de laços fortes. Embora se tenha identificado um perfil de redes de cooperação deficiente em alguns quesitos, o universo explorado apresentou sinais de desenvolvimento. A rede teve sua densidade aumentada no último período e houve diminuição das relações fortes. Porém, poucos autores responderam por parcela significativa da produção científica, além de baixa persistência de pesquisadores ao longo do período analisado. As maiores sub-redes de cada um dos triênios analisados reuniram os atores relevantes em termos de número de artigos selecionados e centralidades de grau e de intermediação. Diante de um grande número de pesquisadores que têm metas comuns e vislumbra a internacionalização como necessidade premente, o estudo instiga reflexões sobre a coordenação de esforços que se poderia instaurar no sentido de promover a colaboração científica, em seu sentido amplo, como forma de cooperar para a manutenção e evolução de um empreendimento tão relevante na comunidade acadêmica: a pesquisa em Contabilidade.
O objetivo desta investigação foi levantar e analisar as características epistemológicas em publicações científicas que sinalizam um cenário de produtivismo acadêmico no campo científico contábil, com base na análise de artigos de um periódico considerado de alta qualidade na classificação do Sistema Qualis da CAPES. Trata-se de um estudo documental, com uma amostra de 43 artigos. Os dados foram analisados com emprego de análise de conteúdo. As análises epistemológicas evidenciaram uma preferência por temáticas envolvendo a Contabilidade para usuários externos e mercado de capitais, privilegiando a utilização de dados secundários, por meio de pesquisas documentais. Constatou-se a presença unânime de estudos positivistas e a utilização de modelos econométricos para explicar a realidade observada sem teoria para embasar esses modelos. Por conseguinte, concluiu-se que o campo científico contábil permanece sem modificações teóricas devido ao produtivismo que motivou a criação de uma espécie de “formato ideal” legitimado, institucionalizado e difícil de modificar.
The aim of this study was to understand how students graduating from accounting master’s courses perceived the feelings experienced in the different dissertation guidance phases. This investigation enables us to identify which stages generate negative feelings and to thus propose actions to improve the affective relationship between the advisor and student, considering that the feelings substantially affect the potential of the scientific works originating from that relationship. The advisor-student relationship and the feelings involved in it are among the main factors that positively or negatively affect the conclusion of the academic work, and understanding it is important in order to improve this interaction process. One of the implications of the research relates to the importance of stricto sensu programs monitoring the guidance process and somehow searching for mechanisms that promote harmony in the guidance process, as the experiences during the dissertation guidance process can affect the student’s likelihood of continuing on their academic journey. For the data collection, a survey was conducted in which the participants used emojis to represent the feelings experienced in their relationship with the advisor during the construction of their master’s dissertation. In addition, semi-structured interviews were carried out, which enabled the elaboration of a collective subject discourse regarding the feelings experienced during the dissertation guidance process. The 88 responses and eight interviews enabled the identification of feelings such as anxiety, fear, and insecurity in the first phases of the dissertation building. Abandonment, confusion, and frustration were felt in the last phases of the relationship with the advisor. Regarding the positive feelings, there are indications of joy, satisfaction, and calm, presenting greater frequency in the last stages of the dissertation. The collective subject discourses also indicated that the relationship with the advisor affected the quality of the scientific research and the student’s academic trajectory.
The aim of this article is to investigate the influence relationships between factors of an extended model of TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) and the behavioral intention of professors for the acceptance and use of information and communications technology (ICT) in work environment. The model used in this research includes, besides the original TAM variables, another five external variables. Twelve research hypotheses regarding the relationship between TAM factors and the intention and acceptance of ICT in the work environment were elaborated. Data collection was done through a questionnaire available on the Google doc platform to the teachers of the educational institution. The sample is formed by 147 teachers from several courses of one institution in the State of Paraná, Brazil. Initially, the demographic profile data were treated using descriptive statistics, confirmatory factorial analysis, and structural equations, which were the techniques used to test the research hypothesis. All research hypotheses based on the original TAM model were corroborated. Regarding the extended model, one of the external variables was not valid and was excluded from the proposed relations by two hypotheses referring to this construct. The results of the multigroup analysis—which includes the variables demographic, gender, age, schooling, and working time in the institution—showed the significant moderating effect of relationship only for the educational variable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
