- Perspectivas sobre os discursos da divulgação da ciênciaPublication . Fernandes, J.L.Entende-se por comunicação pública da ciência o exercício através do qual os produtores do conhecimento científico – cientistas – dão a conhecer o resultado do seu trabalho a destinatários não-especialistas – leigos. Os objectivos subjacentes a este exercício são díspares embora tenham em comum a preocupação de divulgar o conhecimento científico junto dos que não integram a comunidade de cientistas e assim fomentar uma maior compreensão da mesma. A apresentação dos modelos de divulgação da ciência que caracterizam as últimas décadas bem como dos pressupostos subjacentes a cada um destes permite perceber as problemáticas que ocorrem, os soluções experimentadas bem como os resultados atingidos.
- A self-assessment tool for social responsibility in higher education. Reporting on a national policy development process in PortugalPublication . Fonseca, Susana; Fernandes, J.L.Purpose – Providing higher education institutions (HEIs) with a tool for self-assessing their social responsibility (SR) that generates the information and knowledge necessary to a strategic approach to adopting the Green Paper recommendations about the SR of HEIs. Setting out the collaborative policy development process in order to construct the tool “Indicators of SR of HEIs” (ISRHEI). Design/methodology/approach – After a literature review, including self-assessment (SA) tools and leading guidelines, a working group of 24 Portuguese HEIs was created to coconstruct the ISRHEI tool, which was then subject to validation in a pilot study. Findings – There are 34 indicators in the ISRHEI tool, structured by sequential levels according to the HEI alignment with SR (policies, procedures, practices and monitoring along a strategic continuum) hoping to achieve impacts on the organisational, educational, cognitive and social level. Originality – This is an innovative and national policy development process for SR in Portugal. It gives insights into guiding documents, SA indicators for SR, and the process of developing consensus on this topic among 24 HEIs in Portugal. The ISRHEI tool is tailored to the specific characteristics and level of development of HEIs.
- Hopes and Fears of First-Year Freshman College Students during the COVID-19 PandemicPublication . Andrade, Cláudia; Fernandes, J.L.The COVID-19 pandemic made the experience of being a first-year freshman college student unique. This study aims to analyze the hopes and fears of these students concerning their current life and future goals. Participating students completed the Hopes & Fears questionnaire. Results showed that students’ hopes and fears were mainly connected with domains of education and the global/collective dimension, followed by personal and family members’ health. Two new categories emerged, self-fulfillment and solidarity, reflecting the importance of the contextual dimension that these students were navigating. The findings of the current study contribute to the research of college students’ hopes and fears towards their future and accounts for the analyses of this topic as we progress to a post-pandemic phase.
- Interdisciplinaridade : exemplos da Terra ao EspaçoPublication . Fernandes, J.; Fernandes, J.L.Perante os desafios que se colocam hoje em dia aos estudantes do ensino superior e profissionais de amanhã, parece ser inequívoco que estes terão de ser construtores de conhecimento e de soluções que, para serem inovadoras, deverão conjugar abordagens, metodologias e conteúdos múltiplos e entrelaçados de forma única. Por isto mesmo, um capítulo dedicado à interdisciplinaridade é uma ocasião para elencar quais as competências que devem ser trabalhadas para enfrentar o novo milénio, mas ainda para sublinhar a complexidade inerente aos temas que urge resolver. O presente texto propõe, também, uma aplicação da interdisciplinaridade que é igualmente uma ilustração dos já referidos desafios de hoje e de um futuro próximo. Os exemplos das Ciências da Terra e do Espaço são emblemáticos porque condensam uma dose de conhecimento adquirido e consolidado com questões em aberto, cuja resposta vai poder ser dada, na medida em que diversas equipas, de proveniência científica distinta, vão conseguir comunicar entre si, gerar informação e conhecimento novos, e coordenar-se para um desígnio comum, em nome da ciência, da inovação e do desenvolvimento.
- Promoting a path for organizational competitiveness : the role of internal communicationPublication . R. Gomes, Daniel; Fernandes, J.L.; Sobreira, RosaInternal Communication has a unique remit of conceptualization and action when discussing Organizational Communication. Knowing how to manage internal communication represents an important value for competitive organizations by allowing cohesion and internal inclusion. When analyzing the aims of Internal Communication, it is pertinent to question in what way promoting its articulation with Human Resource Management supports an improved organizational performance directed towards the organizations’ internal publics. This study sustains the pertinence of understanding the predictive abilities of Internal Communication regarding some important individual-organizational relations, which are usually studied by Human Resource Management and Organizational Behavior analysts. It assumes the empirical interest in clarifying whether Internal Communication predicts the workers’ commitment, as well as to clarify if organizational procedural justice intervenes in this relation. Participants of this study were 153 workers of an organization in the hotel business industry, which voluntarily responded to a questionnaire composed by measures of organizational commitment, internal communication and procedural justice. Main results have evidenced that internal communication predicts the workers’ affective commitment towards the organization. Results have also evidenced that organizational procedural justice mediates this relation. We conclude that internal communication influences the way how the equity of the organizations’ procedures is perceived by the workers, which leads to the building of an affective bound between the workers and the organization. These results and conclusions are discussed and interpreted in what relates to its theoretical, empirical and practical added-value. We also discuss the benefits of the articulation between internal communication and human resource management in order to improve professionals’ practices towards the organizations’ internal publics.
- Desafios e oportunidades para a comunicação das organizações nos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento SustentávelPublication . Fernandes, J.L.A Responsabilidade Social Empresarial representa a incorporação de preocupações sociais e ambientais numa equação tradicionalmente subordinada à lógica económica do lucro. Esta integração levou a que surgissem novos paradigmas da gestão das organizações, orientados por uma narrativa que apela a uma economia ao serviço da vida(Laszlo, Sroufe e Waddock, 2017). Ora, as instituições de ensino superior, que formam os líderes de amanhã, não são diferentes, já que também produzem impactos importantes e únicos na sociedade em geral, e nas comunidades onde se inserem, em particular. No entanto, acresce um elemento único e diferenciador que reside na sua capacidade de produzir conhecimento e de promover a aprendizagem (Vallaeys, 2009). Destacam-se os desafios e oportunidades que os ODS trazem às organizações em geral e às instituições de ensino superior em particular.
- Role boundary management during Covid-19 pandemic: A qualitative analysis of focus group data with working-student mothersPublication . Andrade, C.; Fernandes, J.L.This qualitative study explores the experiences of role boundary management of workingstudent mothers during COVID-19 pandemic shelter in place order. A thematic analysis was used to examine the experiences and consequences of role blurring due to remote work, school closures, and remote learning and the strategies used to cope with the demands of three roles – being a mother, a worker, and a student. Eight participants enrolled in higher education programs participated in a focus group using Zoom technology. Several experiences of role blurring and barriers to satisfactorily manage all the roles emerged from the analysis. Strategies to cope with permanent demands seemed to have had only a small effect on working-student mothers' adjustment and well-being as they navigated through the days of shelter in place order. Implications for a better understanding of the experience and impacts of role boundary management during COVID-19 are discussed.
- School-Family and Family-School Enrichment: A Study with Portuguese Working Student ParentsPublication . Andrade, C.; Fernandes, J.L.In recent years, higher education institutions have progressively undertaken efforts to attract more diversified populations to their programs, both in the first and second cycles. These new groups include students who work professionally and who are parents. The literature that aims to address the management of multiple roles of higher education students has mainly devoted its attention to the potential conflict of roles, with a scarcity of studies focused on the positive aspects that may result from this articulation. The present study aims to analyze the relationships between satisfaction with social support (in the academic/school, work, and family domain), satisfaction with role management and academic performance and school-family and family-school enrichment experiences. The study was carried out using a questionnaire, with 155 students working fathers/mothers allowed to identify predictors of school-family and family-school enrichment. The results provide a better understanding of the factors that contribute to a student role having a positive impact on other life roles, namely the professional role and the role of father/mother.
