- Adaptação da Escala de Significados da Grã-Parentalidade – Versão Avós – à população portuguesaPublication . Peixoto, Ricardo; Gonçalves, Carlos ManuelDesde há vários anos, a família tem sofrido mudanças significativas, resultando numa maior probabilidade de coexistência e convivência de várias gerações familiares. Consequentemente, as relações intergeracionais, nomeadamente entre avós e netos, têm assumido grande relevância na investigação nacional e internacional. O presente trabalho pretende adaptar a Escala de Significados da Grã-Parentalidade versão avós – ESGP-A – (Triadó & Villar, 2000) à população portuguesa. Participaram 294 avôs/avós com idades compreendidas entre os 52 e os 90 anos. O valor global de alfa de Cronbach da adaptação foi de 0,85, variando entre 0,62 e 0,88 para as 5 respetivas sub-escalas, com um total de 27 itens, tendo variância explicada total de 53,2%. As qualidades psicométricas da escala, consideradas aceitáveis, apontam para um instrumento com potencial para a investigação em Portugal. Pretende-se, em futuros desenvolvimentos, melhorar os valores de alfa de Cronbach das sub-escalas com valores inferiores a 0,70, acrescentado novos itens que visam ainda aumentar a variância explicada. Apesar das diferenças encontradas na organização dos itens das várias sub-escalas, mantém-se a coerência conceptual subjacente à escala original. Discutem-se e justificam-se as diferenças em relação à versão original e ponderam-se as limitações desta adaptação, apontando-se futuros desenvolvimentos.
- Employees’ fit to telework and work well-being: (in)voluntariness in telework as a mediating variable?Publication . Lopes, Silvia; Dias, Paulo C.; Sabino, Ana; Cesário, Francisco José Santos; Peixoto, RicardoPurpose – The present study aims to examine the mediating role of (in)voluntariness in teleworking in explaining the relationship between employees’ fit to telework and work well-being (i.e. work engagement and exhaustion). Design/methodology/approach – A cross-sectional survey design was used in this study. The sample comprised 222 individuals performing telework in Portugal. Statistical analyses employed were descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, confirmatory factor and structural equation analyses, and mediation analysis using Hayes Process macro. Findings – The findings confirmed the hypothesis that employees’ fit to telework raises the voluntariness in telework and decreases involuntariness in telework. However, contrary to expectations, no significant relationships were found between voluntariness in telework, work engagement and exhaustion. Yet, involuntariness in telework showed a significant role in decreasing work engagement and increasing workers’ exhaustion. The mediating role of involuntariness in telework was confirmed in explaining the relationship between employees’ fit to telework and exhaustion. Practical implications – Managers in global firms can draw from the results to understand how employees’ fit to telework directly and/or indirectly contributes to work well-being and develop human resource (HR) management practices aiming to increase employees’ fit to telework Originality/value – Although teleworking is already studied, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, no studies have analyzed the same conceptual model employees’ fit to telework, (in)voluntariness in teleworking and work well-being.
