PurposeThis study aims to contribute to the healthy eating literature by analyzing whether fear of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), ability to prepare food and the safety-seeking are antecedents of the intention to consume healthy foods during COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted two studies. The first study was done with a sample of 546 valid respondents. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze data. The second study was qualitative, in which 40 subjects took part. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.FindingsThe main findings reveal that ability to prepare food and the safety-seeking are strong antecedents of the intention to consume healthy foods. In addition, safety-seeking mediates the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and intention to consume healthy eating. However, high levels of fear did not influence the ability to prepare food and intention to consume healthy foods. Also, the ability to prepare food does not mediate the relation between fear of COVID-19 and intention to consume healthy food.Originality/valueThis study is among the first to consider terror management propositions to analyze the intention to consume healthy foods during COVID-19 pandemic. From a scientific point of view, it has several contributions to the literature. First, this study provides advances and innovation in the field by identifying new explanatory relations. Second, this study extends the scope of terror management health model (TMHM) by analyzing it in the pandemic context. Third, the findings seem to provide empirical support for recent criticism of TMHM assumptions. Moreover, practical implications are outlined to public health decision-makers and healthy food businesses on increasing consumers’ intention to healthy eating.
O objetivo dessa pesquisa é analisar as competências gerenciais presentes nos proprietários das lavanderias de beneficiamento têxtil participantes da Associação das Lavanderias de Caruaru (ALC). Para alcançar esse objetivo foi feito o uso do entendimento de Quinn (1988) com relação as competências gerenciais, que envolve oito papéis de líderes desenvolvidos pelos gestores. Foi aplicado um questionário junto aos empresários participantes da Associação das Lavanderias de Caruaru que contou com 22 respondentes de um total de 33 associados, no mês de maio de 2019, com o questionário sendo adaptado da pesquisa de Comin et al. (2017). Como resultados encontrou-se que as competências gerenciais se mostram desenvolvidas no grupo de empresários, tendo a experiência profissional e social contribuindo com o desenvolvimento das competências gerenciais, resultado diferente da relação entre a educação formal e continuada que não se relacionou ao desenvolvimento de tais competências.
O objetivo deste estudo é compreender como as dimensões culturais que definem as culturas nacionais em Hofstede se vinculam à dinâmica de disseminação do contágio da Covid-19 nas nações mais afetadas pela pandemia. Para a realização da pesquisa montou-se um quadro de informações com 76 nações mais afetadas pela Covid-19, tendo o percentual da população atingida pela Covid-19 como variável dependente e as dimensões da cultura nacional em Hofstede como variáveis independentes. Os dados foram coletados em dois momentos, com e sem a variante Ômicron e, devido a causalidade a ser testada, se utilizou de regressão linear multivariada. Como resultado, o modelo ajustado explica 29,31% da variação do contágio antes da Ômicron e 39,66% da variação do contágio pós Ômicron, com destaque para as dimensões “individualismo”, “masculinidade” e “aversão à incerteza”, todas com nível de significância estatística ao nível de 10%. Esses resultados reforçam a necessidade de considerar o tecido social como um sustentáculo para políticas públicas de enfrentamento a endemias e pandemias, aumentando a eficiência com a qual a sociedade enfrenta situações que afetam seu bem-estar.
PurposeThe study aims to analyze the innovative practices carried out in the collaborative complex in the city of Caruaru-PE.Design/methodology/approachThe research is qualitative, carried out through a single-case study to analyze the innovative practices of Plural Colab. In data analysis, the authors have used the content analysis technique.FindingsThe results demonstrate the explanatory strength of the approach to innovative practices, highlighting people's daily engagement in the real work of innovation, which usually goes unnoticed in traditional approaches and models.Originality/valueThis study becomes essential given the need to research innovative management practices research. In addition, studies focused on innovation are generally directed to large companies, leaving aside the reality of micro and small business (MSBs) managers.
