Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present theoretical investigation into two corporate social responsibility (CSR) models proposed by Schwartz and Carroll (2003, 2008). Design/methodology/approach A descriptive study was conducted using a quantitative approach with 200 visitors. Data analysis involved, first, a factor analysis and, subsequently, a canonical analysis. Findings The results reveal that there is indeed the characteristic of convergence on the CSR dimensions, as well as confirm the correlation between the two models. Research limitations/implications This is a single case study wherein data cannot be generalized and there is a lack, so far, of a specific measure scale for the VBA (value, balance and accountability) model. Practical implications The results can contribute to studies on the development of CSR scales directed toward consumers, particularly tourist companies in emerging countries, as well as a guidance for managers in planning socially responsible actions and achieving legitimacy of their consumers. Originality/value Studies on CSR from customers’ standpoint are still scarce in developing countries, and the existing ones do not use reliable measure scales, based on theoretical models and adapted to the features of this audience. The present paper helps this discussion by considering the perspective of an emerging market for the first time.
O objetivo deste estudo é explicar a relação entre a conduta intraempreendedora, segundo Moriano; Topa; Valero e Lévy (2009), e suas competências empreendedoras, conforme a abordagem de Lenzi (2008), nos funcionários das unidades do Senac do estado de Santa Catarina. O referencial teórico apresenta os temas essenciais que se relacionam à problemática do estudo, quais sejam: empreendedorismo, competências empreendedoras e conduta intraempreendedora. Para a análise destas relações, a abordagem neste artigo de natureza aplicada foi majoritariamente quantitativa. As características do estudo o posicionam como de objetivo descritivo e os procedimentos técnicos adotados foram a pesquisa bibliográfica, estudo de caso e a survey com questionário. Para tanto, utilizou-se as técnicas estatísticas Anova, Análise Fatorial e Modelagem de Equações Estruturais. Os resultados demonstram que as competências mais comuns foram comprometimento, persistência e correr riscos calculados, e as menos frequentes busca de oportunidades e iniciativas e estabelecimento de metas. Com relação à conduta intraempreendedora, as análises evidenciam uma relação significativa e relevante para todos os construtos, exceto tempo disponível e incerteza nas tarefas. Por fim, as competências empreendedoras apresentaram forte correlação com os construtos do intraempreendedorismo.
O caso para ensino trata do processo de amadurecimento de um problema de pesquisa em um programa de mestrado em Administração e Contabilidade, no paradigma positivista, em uma abordagem quantitativa. O caso adota uma narrativa e diálogos típicos entre um aluno de mestrado e seu orientador e professores, para expor os pontos de tensão e escolhas que emergem no primeiro ano de um típico programa de mestrado na área. O caso permite ao aluno conhecer uma típica interação no mestrado na área e refletir sobre a sequência de escolhas de técnicas estatísticas específicas. O caso de ensino é sugerido para disciplinas como metodologia de pesquisa, métodos quantitativos, seminários de dissertação no mestrado, e também para iniciação científica.
Purpose Drawing on the agency and institutional theory, this paper aims to explore how financial internationalization shapes firm performance through the influence of foreign actors. Design/methodology/approach By using a unique panel database, composed of over 26,000 curricula and 4,000 corporate reports from approximately 450 Brazilian companies, the effects of financial internationalization were explored in a longitudinal view by using multiple regression analysis with fixed effects. Findings The results present consistent and non-trivial effects of financial internationalization on firms’s performance. When tested together, foreign ownership showed inconclusive results, foreign directors and depositary receipts showed a positive association with performance and foreign currency debt showed a negative association. Research limitations/implications In most cases, the data on foreign stakeholders, foreign directors and foreign currency debt do not address the home country. Practical implications Serving the interest of foreign stakeholders from multiple institutional perspectives can be a challenge for managers. The findings of this study provide an opportunity for research focusing on institutional duality and financial internationalization. Originality/value This paper extends the prior literature on corporate governance and financial internationalization by investigating the latter on a perspective of firms from an emerging market. The empirical evidence section provides support for the argument that the simultaneous presence of foreign actors in multiple mechanisms of the corporate governance structure impacts the performance of emerging market firms.
