PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine cultural intelligence's (CQ) influence on international business travelers' ability to deal with the strain caused by institutional distance (ID).Design/methodology/approachThe methodology begins with a literature review to establish a framework for discussion by bringing together international business travel, stress, distance, and CQ. A total of 841 participants from Sao Paulo Guarulhos International Airport were surveyed in order to test the hypotheses.FindingsResults reveal that CQ partially moderates the relationship between ID and travel and job strain.Research limitations/implicationsFurthermore, the research implies that an increase in CQ is not positive in all situations.Originality/valueThis is the first empirical study to examine CQ in the short‐term context of international business travel.
This paper presents the results of an exploratory, inductive cataloguing of the views of Brazilian and U.S. academics regarding current leadership theory and development. Semi structured interviews with academics from a variety of institutional settings in Brazil and the U.S. were content analyzed to identify major themes and tendencies across the two countries. Our analyses revealed that neither Brazilian nor U.S. academics adopted the bulk of current formal leadership thought uncritically. Instead, both the Brazilian and North American business education fields adopted theories selectively and formulated idiosyncratic approaches to the field. The U.S. interviewees appeared to vary much more from one another than the Brazilian scholars, whose positions were more critical but more homogeneous overall. There was also considerable variation across the two national settings. We found Bourdieu's practice theory useful in interpreting our results, particularly the concepts of field differentiation and heteronomy, habitus, and cultural capital. Still, much research remains to be done to disentangle the purely historical and cultural factors from the impacts of the social construction of the field of business education in the two countries.
A reciclagem de produtos têxteis é o método industrial de reprocessamento de roupas usadas, material fibroso e restos de tecidos com a finalidade da formação de novos produtos. Práticas de reciclagem no setor têxtil vêm sendo adotadas desde o início do século XX. O presente artigo tem como objetivo promover a compreensão da reciclagem de resíduos têxteis como alternativa para a redução dos impactos ambientais. Atualmente, a maior parte desses resíduos é descartada de forma inadequada, sendo destinada aos aterros sanitários das nações. A reciclagem de resíduos têxteis é uma indústria bem organizada como pode ser comprovado nos exemplos destacados neste artigo e que descrevem práticas de empresas no Brasil e em outraslocalidades. Isso aponta diretrizes para a ampliação desse processo como forma de minimizar os impactos ambientais provocados pelo setor, em consonância com as políticas públicas e com a necessidade de mudança no modelo atual de consumo.P a l a v r a s - c h a v e : Sustentabilidade. Gestão de Resíduos. Reciclagem Têxtil.
