The aim of this article was to investigate the effects of informal controls on psychological empowerment and job satisfaction. Despite previous studies having analyzed the role of certain management control systems in individual results, such as psychological empowerment and job satisfaction, the evidence on informal controls within this context is inconclusive. Credit union systems play a considerable role in economic growth, regional development, and employability. We therefore explore the perception of directors and managers of business units of one of the biggest cooperative systems regarding the informal controls used. Considering that job satisfaction has a series of implications for organizations (for example in employee loyalty and job performance), it is important to understand its determinants. The literature points to the growing concern among contemporary organizations about informal controls. Various studies focus on understanding the role of these controls and their respective effects on organizational and individual behaviors. From the individual perspective, there is a need to analyze the indirect effects of management controls on individual aspects by means of psychological variables. Thus, this study provides new evidence on informal controls in organizations by exploring the intervening role of psychological empowerment and the (beneficial) effects on job satisfaction. In addition, the study provides a methodological contribution to the national research on management control by adding an analysis based on mixed methods. A survey was applied to directors and managers of business units of one of the biggest credit union systems in Brazil. The data were analyzed using a mixed methods approach: partial least squares structural equation modeling and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis. Informal controls are directly and indirectly associated (via empowerment) with job satisfaction. Moreover, the findings indicate more than one solution for high job satisfaction.
O objetivo do estudo é analisar a influência da reputação de Responsabilidade Social Corporativa (RSC) no comprometimento organizacional, mediado pela satisfação no trabalho. A amostra resultante de survey contempla diretores e gestores de unidades de negócios de um dos maiores sistemas cooperativista de crédito brasileiro, e os dados são analisados por modelagem de equações estruturais. Os resultados sugerem uma mediação total da satisfação no trabalho entre a reputação de RSC e o comprometimento organizacional. Os achados contribuem para a literatura de reputação de RSC, satisfação no trabalho e comprometimento organizacional, além de fornecer insights para a prática organizacional.
O estudo tem por objetivo evidenciar a percepção dos gestores de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior (IES) pública sobre a construção do programa de compliance. Metodologicamente, entrevistas foram conduzidas com cinco gestores envolvidos diretamente com o desenvolvimento de tal programa. Após as transcrições, 1.225 observações foram dispostas em 5 categorias (pilares do compliance), e analisados mediante a técnica de Análise de Conteúdo, no software NVivo. Os achados apontam as seguintes: suporte da administração (35,67%), código de conduta e políticas de compliance (24,98%), avaliação de riscos (20,90%), controles internos (14,53%) e treinamentos e comunicação (3,92%). O elemento mais representativo é o suporte da alta administração, sobretudo em questões envolvendo obrigações regulatórias, processos de tomada de decisão e apoio as práticas estratégicas. Conclui-se que diferentes frentes (pilares) são adotadas de forma conjunta, para que o programa de compliance seja desenvolvido de forma adequada, perante as legislações e obrigações regulatórias.
