UTAUT 2 is a model designed to be a starting point for investigating IT adoption and can be used to identify the factors that influence the intention to use it, as well as to be adopted by an organization. The main objective of this research is to validate the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) model by applying the questionnaire to students of a university that has gone through the process of implementing a virtual learning environment. The method is the quantitative one, through the survey strategy. As for the time horizon of the survey, a transversal cut was chosen. The techniques and procedures adopted were the modeling of structural equations with partial least squares in the Smart-PLS 3 software. The instrument used in this article is an adaptation of the questionnaire of Venkatesh et al (2012). The results point to evidence of converging and descriminating validity. This research contributes to the Unified Theory of Technology Acceptance and Use (UTAUT) as it is applied in different environments, evidencing characteristics that may allow its generalization. Finally, in the practical scope, it is possible to use this tool to evaluate and plan the acceptance of a new technology in the organizational scope.
With the evolution of management practices, new management methods and tools were adopted in public entities in order to optimize the delivery of services to their steakholders. In this scenario, the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) offers an important tool to assist in the strategic management of public entities. Therefore, this work aims to generate a bibliometric analysis of the scientific production on the BSC tool in the public sector in the period of five years (2014-2018), to clarify the functionalities and to survey data through the Web Database of Science. The procedure to perform this review of scientific production involved, initially, access to the database, followed by research by the terms "BSC and Government" and "BSC and Public Management". Afterwards, they were exported and ordered in the matrix in order to perform the analysis of the elements obtained. The methodology used was of a descriptive and quantitative nature. The main results emphasize that the production registered in the database used is scarce, observing that only 27 publications were found in the studied temporal cutout. It also indicates that, in the range comprised, the Brazilian production was on a large scale together with the Australian and Portuguese production equated to other countries contained in the research and, finally, that there is an inconstancy in the publication of articles related to this subject. This article is structured as follows: introduction, theoretical reference, methodology, results and discussions and conclusion.
Data de submissão: 31/05/2017 Data de aceite: 05/02/2018 RESUMO O objetivo do presente artigo foi analisar artigos científicos publicados de 2008 à 2014 na biblioteca virtual SCIELO, a amostra foi composta por 56 artigos, o critério de seleção buscou por artigos que trabalhassem o tema competências no referencial teórico, nas palavras-chaves ou em alguma parte conclusiva. Através da análise dos autores e das abordagens temáticas o estudo visou identificar os perfis profissionais e acadêmicos dos pesquisadores além de identificar as correntes temáticas utilizadas nos textos sobre competências. O método utilizado no estudo foi o quanti-qualitativo e como resultados o estudo evidencia as principais temáticas que foram abordadas nos artigos com destaque para a denominada "área acadêmica" e "competências gerenciais". Palavras Chaves: Competências. Estratégia. Organizações.
Neste artigo, pretendo apresentar a ideia de intenção empreendedora e contextualizar a situação do ensino do empreendedorismo em Portugal. Com esse objetivo geral em mente, busco demonstrar, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, as bases e diretrizes institucionais e legais que fomentam o ensino do empreendedorismo na União Europeia, bem como destacar algumas das iniciativas e projetos relacionados à temática da educação empreendedora em Portugal. Por fim, proponho uma breve reflexão sobre a educação empreendedora a fim de debater criticamente a pertinência dessa abordagem e suas implicações enquanto projeto educacional europeu e português.
O presente artigo busca por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica fazer os resgate teórico dos conceitos e principais abordagens do o empreendedorismo privilegiando a abordagem crítica sobre o tema. Ao longo do texto trato das seguintes abordagens empreendedoras: econômica, comportamental, de processo, da prática e por fim a abordagem crítica. Neste artigo adoto perspectiva teórica alinhada aos Critical Management Studies (CMS) e aos Critical Entrepreneurship Studies (CES) como pano de fundo norteador das discussões, por isso apresento as origens históricas, conceituações e principais abordagens do empreendedorismo não para fazer meramente um relato descritivo e funcional, mas sobretudo para trazer à reflexão seu caráter etnocentrico, classista e excludente, como também seu perfil ideológico, político, discursivo e formador de subjetividades.
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.
