- CMS in Public Administration: A Comparative AnalysisPublication . Louraço, Daniela; Marques, C. G.There is a wide variety of content management systems (CMS) available on the market, each with its characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, but the open source, such as Joomla, WordPress and Drupal are the ones who stand out, not only because they are free, but also because of their versatility and contemporaneity, in issues such as: ease of use, possibility of customization, support, security, adaptability and amount of resources available (modules, components and plugins). These solutions have an extremely relevant aspect for public organizations, bringing citizens and businesses closer to their governments, by providing a more direct and intuitive access to government information and services (Fang, 2002). To achieve the benefits of its implementation, it is necessary an analysis of the solutions available on the market and which ones are best suited to certain management objectives. Through a comparison of data and information collected, it is highlighted the advantages and disadvantages of each of the three CMS mentioned, especially which one is most indicated for a specific context of application and project typology in public administration, using for these rankings of use and popularity on platforms such as W3Techs and BuiltWith, as well as a set of supporting documentation.
- Organisational Culture Attributes Influencing the Adoption of Agile Practices: A Systematic Literature ReviewPublication . Mkoba, Elizabeth SylvesterOrganisations have been adopting agile practices to deliver information system projects faster and create business value. Despite its advantages, many organisations battle to successfully adopt agile practices. While there are several challenges for agile adoption, organisational culture has been amongst the challenges on adopting agile practices. The objective of this study was to determine the organisational culture attributes which influence the adoption of agile practices within the organisation. The systematic literature review aimed to explore the organisational culture attributes which influence the adoption of agile practices. The review focused on papers published on organisational culture influencing the adoption of agile practices between January 2015 to December 2020. The search strategy retrieved 204 papers of which nine papers were selected for a detailed analysis. The study revealed five factors of organisational culture that influence the adoption of agile practices in the organization as: management control, team collaboration, market, values and creativity. These factors have a number of organisational culture attributes that influence the adoption of agile practices. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by providing organisational culture attributes which influence the adoption of agile practices. The results of the systematic literature review presented in this study will benefit researchers and practitioners of project management.
- Continuous Assurance for the Digital Transformation of Internal AuditingPublication . Barros, Cátia; Marques, Rui PedroAs a result of the increasing demand on the credibility of the financial information disclosure, internal auditing has been playing an increasingly important role in organizations. Currently, there is a need to ensure the compliance of organizational transactions in real time in order to increase the reliability of the information and to reduce risks. In this context, the concept of Continuous Assurance has emerged, allowing to reduce potential errors and risks and obtain useful information in real time, supporting more effectively the decision making and internal auditing. This paper aims to understand the importance and the use of Continuous Assurance services from the perspective of the internal auditor. So, the methodology used is qualitative and the questionnaire survey was used to collect data from interna auditors in Portugal. The main results demonstrate, among other findings, that the Continuous Assurance services are considered by the internal auditors as very important. Despite this, its implementation in the organizations does not follow the importance assigned to it, and is still far from being fully deployed. The dimension of the audit department is an influential factor in the use of some Continuous Assurance services.

- Guiding legacy systems for evolution. PmatE: a case study of maintenance and engineeringPublication . Monteiro, André; Vieira, GonçaloEven though software change is inevitable, accurate maintenance can extend software lifespan in a subtle way when both budget and time constraints get in the way of software replacement. In the University of Aveiro, the project PmatE – a quiz web platform created to encourage students to like Math – emerged in the early 1990’s and stacked several applications over the decades without major planning, cleaning or upgrade. This resulted in a huge-sized framework that was crucial to be always available and online and had high operational cost, leading to an increasing amount of technical debt. After 3 decades, the project was studied, refactored and refurbished, leading to a stable consistent framework ready for evolution and software spinouts. This work shows how to manage and engineer solutions to maintain a legacy system and evolve it even when tied up to heavy constraints.

- Promovendo a felicidade nas organizações: o papel da motivação, satisfação e produtividadePublication . Palma, Mafalda Sofia Afonso; Sousa, Inês Carneiro eTodos queremos alcançar a felicidade plena, mas fomos ensinados a procurá-la só na nossa vida pessoal. E se este conceito passar a fazer parte do dia-a-dia das organizações e locais de trabalho? Esta dissertação vai focar-se na apresentação e esclarecimento de conteúdos e conceitos relacionados com a felicidade, a motivação e a produtividade. De seguida enquadramse estes conceitos do meio organizacional, explorando o conceito de felicidade no trabalho, felicidade na organização, felicidade na função, satisfação no trabalho, envolvimento com o trabalho, o comprometimento organizacional afetivo e o conceito de performance. A presente investigação incide sobre o estudo da felicidade nas organizações e analisa o impacto da felicidade dos colaboradores na sua motivação, satisfação, produtividade e felicidade no trabalho. De forma a concretizar os objetivos definidos, foi aplicado um inquérito por questionário, do qual foram obtidas 295 respostas. Os inquiridos foram pessoas profissionalmente ativas e com idade mínima de 18 anos. Os resultados obtidos revelaram que, no estudo da influência da motivação, satisfação, produtividade e Felicidade no trabalho, só a produtividade influencia positivamente a variável dependente Felicidade. A produtividade, a satisfação e a motivação influenciam a felicidade no trabalho, mas a motivação e satisfação influenciam a produtividade.
- O conflito Trabalho-Família e o Burnout na vida de um militar da Guarda Nacional Republicana com o recurso ao Suporte da Chefia enquanto papel moderadorPublication . Rafael, Carina Isabel Pinto; Rodrigues, Filipa RochaA Guarda Nacional Republicana, adiante designada por Guarda, é uma força de segurança de natureza militar, constituída por um corpo especial de tropas e dotada de autonomia administrativa. Face às diversas exigências desta profissão, sendo esta caracterizada por elevados níveis de stress, bem como por um notório desgaste tanto a nível físico, mental e/ou comportamental, o presente estudo visa analisar a relação entre o conflito trabalho-família e o burnout, com a importante componente do suporte da chefia como variável moderadora. Para tal, foi recolhida uma amostra de 567 militares da Guarda Nacional Republicana, atualmente no ativo, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 56 anos. Conforme expectável, os resultados obtidos revelam que os militares que têm maior dificuldade em conciliar o papel do trabalho com o da família evidenciam níveis mais elevados de burnout. Por conseguinte, não só é possível concluir que o conflito trabalho-família é preditor do burnout, como também, o suporte da chefia não é uma variável moderadora nesta relação. Por fim, e com base nesta investigação, foram discutidas as demais contribuições dos resultados para a literatura existente, assim como, apresentadas as respetivas limitações, sugestões e implicações práticas para futuros estudos.
