ABSTRACT

Introduction: The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) has been proposed as suitable to study help-seeking intentions. This paper aims to develop the IH-RHAC scale (Help-seeking intention in young adults with hazardous and harmful alcohol consumption) with the TPB. The objectives of the study were: (a) to analyze the structure, reliability, and validity of the instrument, (b) to identify whether attitude, subjective norm, self-efficacy, and past help-seeking would predict help-seeking intention, and (c) to assess concurrent validity. Methods: From a total of 2,011 students who responded to the surveys, the sample was made up of 263 university students aged 18 to 29 with hazardous and harmful alcohol consumption practices, who responded to an online questionnaire including the AUDIT, IH-RHAC, and a scale of barriers and resources for alcohol consumption. Partial least squares structural equations (PLS-SEM) were used to test the hypotheses about reliability, validity of the scales, and prediction of the constructs: attitude, subjective norms, self-efficacy, and help-seeking in the past about intention. Pearson's correlations were used to obtain evidence of concurrent validity. Results: The results displayed favorable psychometric characteristics. The internal measurement model showed that attitude, self-efficacy, and prior help-seeking predicted a 27% help-seeking variance. Subjective norm did not predict intention. Discussion: It has been concluded that this is an instrument with psychometric support that can contribute to designing and/or evaluating interventions that promote the students' search for help.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Authentic leadership (AL) is a kind of leadership that inspires and promotes positive psychological capacities, underlining the moral and ethical component of behavior. The proposed investigation studies the relations among AL, cohesion, and group identification in security and emergency teams. METHOD: A cross-sectional research design was conducted in which participated 221 members from 26 fire departments and operative teams from the local police of three Spanish provinces. The following questionnaires were administered: Authentic Leadership (ALQ), Group Cohesion (GEQ), and Mael and Ashford's Group Identification Questionnaire. RESULTS: A direct and positive relation was found between AL, cohesion, and group identification. An indirect relation was also found between AL and group cohesion through group identification, indicating the existence of partial mediation. CONCLUSIONS: The utility of the proposed model based on AL is considered; this model can be employed by those in charge of the fire departments and operative groups in organizations to improve workteams' cohesion. Both AL and group identification help to explain group cohesion in organizations committed to security and emergencies


ANTECEDENTES: el liderazgo auténtico (LA) es un tipo de liderazgo que inspira y promueve capacidades psicológicas positivas, destacando el componente moral y ético de las conductas. La investigación planteada estudia las relaciones entre LA, cohesión e identificación grupal en equipos de seguridad y emergencia. MÉTODO: se desarrolla un diseño de investigación transversal en el que participan 221 componentes de 26 brigadas de bomberos y equipos operativos de policía local de tres provincias españolas. Se administraron los cuestionarios ALQ de liderazgo auténtico, GEQ de cohesión grupal y el cuestionario de Mael y Ashford que mide identificación grupal. RESULTADOS: se encontró una relación directa positiva entre el LA, la cohesión y la identificación grupal. Asimismo, se encontró también una relación indirecta entre el LA y la cohesión grupal a través de la identificación grupal apuntando los datos a la existencia de una mediación parcial. CONCLUSIONES: se considera de utilidad el modelo propuesto basado en el LA, pudiendo ser empleado por los responsables de las brigadas y grupos operativos en organizaciones para mejorar la cohesión de los equipos de trabajo. Tanto el LA como la identificación grupal ayudan a explicar la cohesión grupal en organizaciones con cometidos relacionados con la seguridad y las emergencias

ABSTRACT

The studies that have verified the positive association of authentic leadership with organizational citizenship behaviours (OCBs), have used global measures of both constructs. Therefore, the goal of this work is to analyze the effect of authentic leadership on employees’ OCBs, specifically focusing on the relations of the four components of authentic leadership with the individual and organizational dimensions of the OCBs. The participants of this study were 220 Spanish employees (30.9% men and 69.1% women) who completed a questionnaire that included the variables of interest in this study: Authentic Leadership, OCB and Sociobiographical control variables. The results, obtained with stepwise multiple regression analysis, show that two components of authentic leadership -moral perspective and relational transparency-present significant relationships with OCB. Moreover, authentic leadership is a better predictor of employees’ OCB when these behaviors are impersonal and directed towards the organization than when they are directed towards other people. These results have practical implications for human resources management in organizations, especially in selection processes and when training top executives (AU)


Los estudios que han probado asociación positiva del Liderazgo Auténtico con los OCB han empleado medidas globales de ambos constructos. Este trabajo pretende profundizar más en el efecto del Liderazgo Auténtico sobre los OCB, concentrándose en analizar la relación específica de sus cuatro componentes con las dimensiones individual y organizacional de los OCB. Los participantes de este estudio cuasi experimental fueron 220 empleados españoles (30,9% hombres y 69,1% mujeres) que respondieron a un cuestionario compuesto por las variables a estudiar: Liderazgo Auténtico, Comportamientos de Ciudadanía Organizacional y variables sociobiográficas. Los resultados obtenidos mediante análisis de regresión múltiple stepwise indican que dos componentes del liderazgo auténtico -perspectiva moral y transparencia relacional- se relacionan significativamente con los OCB. Adicionalmente, el liderazgo auténtico es mejor predictor de los OCB de los seguidores cuando estos comportamientos son impersonales y están dirigidos a la organización en sí misma que cuando están dirigidos a personas. Estos resultados tienen implicaciones prácticas para la gestión de los recursos humanos en las organizaciones, especialmente en los procesos de selección y formación de directivos (AU)

ABSTRACT

Este estudio examina las relaciones entre la identificación con la organización, el grupo y la carrera con las conductas de ciudadanía orientadas a la organización, al grupo y a la profesión. Además, este trabajo analiza el papel mediador del apoyo social percibido desde diferentes fuentes -organizacional y grupal- en las relaciones entre la identificación y las conductas de ciudadanía. Los modelos de ecuaciones estructurales, realizados sobre una muestra de 435 trabajadores españoles que pertenecían a 87 grupos de trabajo, muestran que la identificación con la organización, con el grupo y con la carrera son dimensiones diferentes, aunque positivamente relacionadas, y que predicen las conductas de ciudadanía orientadas a los tres focos. Asimismo, los resultados indican que el apoyo organizacional percibido media parcialmente las relaciones entre la identificación organizacional y las conductas de ciudadanía orientadas a la organización, mientras que el apoyo grupal percibido media parcialmente las relaciones entre la identificación grupal y las conductas de ciudadanía orientadas al grupo. Estos resultados confirman y expanden los hallazgos previos sobre identificación y conductas de ciudadanía.


This paper examines the relationships between organizational, group, and career identification with organizational, group, and career citizenship behavior. In addition, this study analyzes the mediator role of perceived social support from different sources -organizational and group- on identification and citizenship behavior. Using a sample of 435 Spanish workers, nested into 87 work groups, we found full support for our hypotheses. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) showed that organizational, group, and career identification are different but related dimensions, and predictors of the three citizenship behavior foci. Results also showed that the effect of organizational identification on organizational citizenship behavior is partially mediated by perceived organizational support partially, while perceived group support partially mediates the relationship between group identification and group citizenship behavior. These results confirm and extend previous research on identification and citizenship behavior.

ABSTRACT

This study follows the social identity model of leadership proposed by van Knippenberg and Hogg (2003), in order to examine empirically the mediator effect of leadership prototypicality between social identity, extra effort, and perceived effectiveness of group members. The sample consisted of 109 participants who worked in 22 different work-teams of non-profit organizations (NPO) from Nicaragua and El Salvador. The data analysis was performed through structural equation modeling (SEM). The results show that NPO membership is related to a high level of social identity. In addition, the results confirmed that leadership prototypicality has a significant and positive mediator effect in the relationship between the group identification and the group members' extra effort and the perceived effectiveness of leadership.

El presente estudio toma como referencia el Modelo de la Identidad Social del Liderazgo (SIMOL) de van Knippenberg y Hogg (2003), con el objetivo de contrastar empíricamente el efecto mediador de la prototipicidad del líder entre la identificación con el grupo de trabajo, y la eficacia percibida del líder y el esfuerzo extra de los miembros del grupo. La muestra está formada por 109 personas que trabajaban en 22 grupos diferentes pertenecientes a Organizaciones No Lucrativas (ONL) de Nicaragua y El Salvador. El análisis de los datos se realizó mediante el Modelado de Ecuaciones Estructurales (SEM). Los resultados revelan que la pertenencia a ONL de Nicaragua y El Salvador promueve altos niveles de identificación grupal, y, asimismo, se confirma que la prototipicidad del líder tiene un significativo efecto mediador entre la identificación grupal, y la eficacia percibida del líder y el esfuerzo extra de los miembros del grupo (AU)

ABSTRACT

El objetivo de este trabajo es doble. Primero, examinar las relaciones entre antecedentes y consecuencias de los empleos puente. Segundo, analizar el papel mediador de la cantidad y calidad del empleo puente en la relación entre antecedentes y consecuencias. Se obtuvieron datos de la primera fase del SHARE (Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe) de 1.190 varones y mujeres en Europa a partir de entrevistas estructuradas y cuestionarios. Los análisis de modelos de ecuaciones estructurales, incluyendo la muestra sin valores perdidos (N= 650), muestran que tanto la cantidad como la calidad de la participación en el empleo puente son predictores de la satisfacción laboral, la satisfacción vital y la calidad de vida en la jubilación. Estos resultados validan y amplían la investigación previa sobre las actividades de empleo puente y la jubilación parcial (AU)


The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to examine the relationships between antecedents and consequences of bridge employment activity; second, to analyze the mediator role both of quality and quantity of bridge employment activities in the relationship between antecedents and consequences. First wave panel data from the SHARE (Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe) were obtained from 1190 men and women in Europe, using structured interviews and questionnaires. Structural equation modeling analyses, including the sample without missing values (N= 650), showed that both quantity and quality of bridge employment participation are predictors of job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and quality of life in retirement. These results validate and expand the previous research on bridge employment activities and partial retirement (AU)

ABSTRACT

El objetivo de este estudio era probar un patrón de relaciones propuesto entre la identidad social y las conductas de ciudadanía en ambientes laborales, considerando que la identidad social se centraba en la identificación con el grupo y con la profesión, mientras que las conductas de ciudadanía se centraban en el grupo de trabajo y el grupo profesional. Se había hipotetizado que estas relaciones podrían estar parcialmente mediadas por el apoyo social percibido. Se evaluó el padron usando una muestra de profesores de primaria (N = 134) que desarrollaban sus actividades profesionales en escuelas de Madrid. Se usó un enfoque de modelado de ecuaciones estructurales y se encontró apoyo parcial para las hipótesis. Los datos mostraron que el apoyo social media totalmente la influencia de la identidad social en las conductas de ciudadanía y que se explicaba un porcentaje medio de la varianza en la variable criterio. Los resultados se han discutido de cara a sus implicaciones para la gestión de los recursos humanos en las organizaciones y para la mejora de las relaciones intergrupales en los contextos organizacionales.(AU)


The main purpose of this study was to prove a proposed pattern of relationships between social identity and OCB in work settings, considering that social identity was focused on group identification and professional identification while OCB was focused on work group and professional group. Moreover, it was hypothesized that those relationships would be partially mediated by perceived social support. The proposed pattern of relationships was assessed using a sample of primary teachers (N = 134) which develops their professional activities in schools of Madrid. A structural equation modelling approach was used and partial support for hypothesis has been found. Data showed that perceived social support fully mediates the influence of social identity on OCB and a medium percentage of variance (61 percent) of the criterion variable has been explained. Results have been discussed in order to their implications for human resource management in organizations and for improving intergroup relations in educational settings.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Desde la perspectiva de estudio de la intención emprendedora, el presente trabajo analiza las variables psicosociales que permiten elaborar el perfil del emprendedor universitario en España. Para ello, se utiliza un modelo de desarrollo de la carrera profesional que permite clasificar las variables psicosociales en tres espacios: familiar, socio laboral y personal. La muestra utilizada estaba formada por 601 estudiantes universitarios procedentes de laComunidad Autónoma de Castilla y León. Los resultados indican que los estudiantes, en general, tienen una alta intención de trabajar por cuenta ajena, en una empresa privada o en la Administración Pública, y una baja intención de desarrollar su carrera profesional a través del autoempleo. Específicamente, se ha encontrado que el género, la familia, la experiencia laboral, la educación hacia el autoempleo, el apoyo social, la percepción de barreras y los valores individualistas y colectivistas permiten predecir la intención de crear una empresa o trabajar por cuenta propia (AU)


This paper analyzes the psychosocial variables that make up the profile of the university entrepreneur in Spain from the perspective of the entrepreneurial intention. A career development model is used to classify these psychosocial variables in three settings: family,workplace and personal issues. The sample consisted of 601 university students from the autonomous region of Castilla y León. The results show that the students develop high intentions to work as employees for private companies or for the Administration but their intentions to become entrepreneurs are low. Specifically, we found that gender, family,labor experience, entrepreneurial training, social support, barriers perception, and individualistic and collectivistic values are likely to predict the entrepreneurial intention of university students (AU)
