Seminal studies about institutional theory highlighted the focus on cognitive issues in research on institutions. However, during the last few years, a growing body of literature has also been devoted to understanding the role of emotions in institutional dynamics. In one of the classic texts on institutional theory, Scott emphasizes three institutional pillars, the regulatory, the normative, and the cognitive. Researchers point out that there is now a fourth pillar: the role of emotions in institutional theory. This article explores the emotions’ role in institutional dynamics, especially related to women’s political participation in the 2018 Brazilian elections. Three cases of female candidates who showed high performance in pre-election polls, were discussed. The research analyzed the candidates’ interviews and social media, observing their emotions in publications and expressions. Also, emotional expressions of society toward the studied candidates, as well as expressions potentially reflecting the institutional dynamic present in the Brazilian political arrangement, were analyzed. The main results show that during the 2018 Brazilian electoral campaign, in the face of the institutionalization of a masculine environment on the political scenario, the society expressed emotions of hatred and aggression against the three candidates since they violated institutional arrangements about behaviors considered acceptable in the dominant institutional logic. Despite this, two of the three female candidates were elected with the highest number of votes in their states, surpassing their male competitors. The candidate who was not elected obtained a significant number of votes.

Universities are institutions whose commitments go beyond the fields of teaching, research, and outreach. In a society that increasingly requires changes, cooperating with other actors must be a path to be followed. At the same time, internationalization has become a priority appearing on many Higher Education Institution (HEI) agenda. However, it is an open question how universities should manage the new demands proposed by society in a very fast challenging world. Therefore, the aim of this article is to provide a framework for strategic priorities which outlines steps and activities that the Western Paraná State University (UNIOESTE) should adopt as part of this transformation project through the lens of the Project Model Canvas (FINOCCHIO JUNIOR, 2013). The methodology is characterized as a qualitative study, with an exploratory character, with the collection of data through documentary research. The results show that to operate successfully in the increasingly globalized environment, Unioeste must continue to foster a commitment to internationalization and make significant efforts to integrate the international dimension into key areas of operation.

Objetivos: analisar a relação entre a work passion e as escolhas da carreira de policiais e bombeiros militares brasileiros em participarem de missões de paz da ONU. Metodologia/abordagem: A abordagem de pesquisa foi qualitativa, sob estratégia de estudo qualitativo básico. Foram entrevistados oito policiais militares e um bombeiro militar participantes em missões de paz por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas e a análise, deu-se com o auxílio de análise de conteúdo (Bardin, 2011). Principais resultados: Percebeu-se que a relação entre work passion e escolhas de carreira dá-se em uma relação cíclica e a work passion foi vista como um elemento emocional presente no “autodirecionamento” do indivíduo, sendo este uma das bases da carreira proteana. Contribuições acadêmicas: propõe-se o entrelaçamento entre a work passion e o desenvolvimento da carreira proteana, enfatizando-se a dimensão emocional presente nas decisões racionais que os trabalhadores tomam ao longo do seu crescimento profissional. Contribuições práticas: Evidenciou-se que mesmo em organizações consideradas tradicionais, em seus aspectos de carreira, existem possibilidades de escolhas características da carreira proteana. Nesse sentido, buscou-se publicizar acerca da participação de profissionais em missões de paz, as quais podem representar uma oportunidade de crescimento profissional e emocional, destacando-se a relevância que a work passion possui diante das decisões de carreira.
