As a quantitative research approach, after the theoretical review, two possibilities were hypothesized for how they act as a system. In order to verify the hypotheses, the authors chose the structural equation model, a suitable instrument for this analysis, as a mathematical tool.FindingsThe results show that OSC is a mediator between resilience and innovation in the organizational dynamics. This suggests that workers’ resilience need OSC, acting as the mediator, to improve their level of innovation capacity.Research limitations/implicationsThe study gives information at a specific point in time. Follow-up studies are needed to understand the phenomena’s transformation, and no distinction was made between exploratory and exploitative innovation. More empirical studies should be carried out to enhance its understanding.Practical implicationsThese findings can help organizations deal better with these resources to reach their goals because the first, as stated in the purpose, is the amalgamated goodwill necessary for individuals to work together; the second is workers’ capacity to bounce back; and the last is the creativity inherent in people. All of which are significant for an enterprise thrive in its market.Originality/valueThe cited dynamic has few studies, and this work provides evidence about its existence and magnitude, shedding light on a critical factors’ relationship net, especially for enterprises based on the creativity of their workers.

A pesquisa foi realizada em uma empresa do setor de energia privatizada em 1997, com base no método de estudo de caso. A estrutura do estudo de caso consistiu, num primeiro momento, em entrevistas realizadas no nível gerencial, a fim de entender as características e percepções das mudanças empreendidas com a privatização. Posteriormente, foram utilizados questionários fechados para o nível operacional, com o intuito de verificar e estratificar os resultados identificados na primeira etapa. O estudo revelou que as mudanças estratégico-estruturais, culturais e as verificadas nas percepções dos relacionamentos intraorganizacionais foram as que mais impactaram o comportamento dos funcionários. Concluiu-se que as mudanças organizacionais despertaram tanto resistências quanto reações positivas, dependendo da posição hierárquica na organização e da influência de variáveis como: ambiente externo, cultura organizacional, multiculturalismo organizacional, tempo de trabalho na empresa, nacionalidade do empregado e acesso à informação. Este estudo fornece subsídios para uma maior compreensão sobre os impactos dos processos de privatização nas organizações brasileiras, propiciando informações para o gerenciamento de transições corporativas, sejam públicas e/ou privadas.

Its absence creates a rupture in the firm's capacity to thrive in the market, named anomie. With the aim of looking more deeply into this subject, we have studied the relationship between anomie and social support at work, as well as professional self-concept, to understand and measure the cause-and-effect process. For this purpose, a model has been created to test this hypothesis, which has been analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling. The scales used have already been validated by other researches. The results provide evidence that the proposed model is suitable to identify and measure the relationship between the studied variables, and showing the level of impact that occurs on the system, created by organizational anomie, on social support at work and professional self-concept, together with their component parts.

This work was done based on concepts of trust developed from the theoretic perspectives of Psychology, Anthropology, Sociology, Economics and Administration. It intends to reflect upon the amplitude of the variables that contribute to trust building, basic resource to social capital and competence once it is the element that leads to positive intentions among individuals, which, in their turn, lead to the interaction of relationships between individuals and social groups. This work analysis, and shows trust as a common element to social capital and competence formation, and next it discusses trust in different knowledge areas. The result of this analysis leads to questioning the need to better understand the mechanisms that build trust in different contexts and levels.

For this the present theories were mapped out to identify the similarities and differences within social capital, focusing on organizational social capital. With this background a Nahapiet and Ghosal three dimensional model was chosen as the most suitable construct with which to create the instrument. All methodological research steps for behavioral instrument creation were taken into account. The questionnaire created was refined and validated for semantic and content validity, then it was tested using statistical tools for items reduction through Exploratory Factor Analysis to refine the instrument. The scale was approved in the tests and the findings of this process also led to the conclusion that social capital is a one-dimensional construct.

For this, it presents a bibliographical revision theoretically to guide the thematic one of the entrepreneurship, beyond approaching, in a briefly way, the question of the creation and the functioning of courses MBA in Brazil. To interpret the collected data the arithmetic mean was used simple. Results show that, even so the profile of the group discloses a trend to the search for careers in structuralized companies already, notices a reasonable percentage of pupils who desires to undertake, either in the form of assembly of proper or same business in its functions as collaborating in the companies.
