O impacto da meritocracia em empresas de logística durante crises econômicas

Abstract

Purpose: meritocracy and incentives for innovation are instruments in the search for efficiency and increased productivity. The objective of this work is to demonstrate the correlation between meritocracy and productivity gains that a franchise network presented in a year of economic crisis in Brazil. Design/methodology/approach: the method of qualitative and quantitative approach of this research used experimentation, based on interviews, observation and data analysis. Two groups of companies, which totalized 92 companies and 746 professionals participated of the research. Findings: management based on recognition and reward for employees of a group of companies has shown an increase in productivity of up to 25% in a year of economic recession. In the same period, another group of companies in the same business, but without a meritocracy-based compensation system, achieved a 9% drop. Research limitations/implications: this work suffered from limitations as to the influence of the local economy of each franchise on the results, impacting the comparisons of the groups that participated in the experimental research. Practical implications: logistics companies can use this work to define a meritocratic model that encourages employees to seek innovation in processes and contribute to better operational performance. Social implications: logistics has a strong impact on the competitiveness of companies, from industry to commerce. This work offers visibility of the influence of productivity in logistics companies in the supply chain. Originality/value: this work contributes to the analysis of the influence of meritocracy in people management, especially in times of economic crisis.

Engineering Intramolecular π‐Stacking Interactions of Through‐Space Charge‐Transfer TADF Emitters for Highly Efficient OLEDs with Improved Color Purity

“…For instance, anthracene and xanthene‐type skeletons have been widely used as scaffolds for assembling host‐guest systems because they can hold two planes in a parallel orientation. [ 35 ] However, in the cases of push‐pull systems for TSCT‐TADF, the planes on the rigid anthracene are organized at a distance of ≈4.8 Å, too long to allow for effective electronic coupling. Second, (quasi)planar donor/acceptor allowing for maximized π–π stacking is desired.…”

“…Of note, the luminescence from cofacial TSCT excited states has been reported ahead of the flourishing of TADF. [ 33–36 ] Nevertheless, most of the molecules in early reports show preferred charge separation and/or nonradiative decay instead of luminescence, likely due to the large freedom of intramolecular motions and/or weak oscillator strength for excited state radiative decay arising from flexible structures. [ 37 ] Recently, significant improvements in TSCT‐TADF efficiencies have been achieved through the regulations of RISC, non‐radiative decay, or radiative decay rate.…”
