“…Important similarities between the Argentinean and Mexican cultures have also been highlighted by Olivas-Lujan et al (2009) who investigated instrumental and terminal values of undergraduate students in Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil. According to their findings the most important instrumental values in Argentina are: ambition, broadmindedness, honesty, intellect, and responsibility; whereas in Mexico they are: ambition, self-control, honesty, intellect, and responsibility.…”

The purpose of this study was to explore similarities and dissimilarities between perceptions of effective and ineffective managerial behaviour observed in private and public sector organisations in Argentina and Mexico respectively. The results of a qualitative cross-case/cross-nation comparative analysis of findings obtained from two emic replication studies of perceived managerial and leadership effectiveness previously carried out by the authors suggest that in both countries effective managers are perceived as those who are: 'fair', 'flexible', 'caring about employees' and 'understanding of their personal needs', and who 'make sure they have good working conditions', 'provide reward and recognition', 'monitor performance', 'encourage professional development', and 'take into account the suggestions of employees'. These findings support those who theorise about the existence of a universal set of managerial behavioural practices that are effective and ineffective across countries.

“…Our results are in line with the other studies demonstrating that Latinos tend to assimilate the gender role attitudes from their host country (Anderson & Johnson, ; Pampel, ). Latina women in this study had higher gender egalitarian attitudes (score = 43.5) when compared to women living in Latin American (i.e., Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico; average score = 29.6) (Olivas‐Luján et al, ). The score may indicate that the women in this sample already shared egalitarian attitudes when they migrated to the United States and their beliefs increase with increased acculturation.…”

In general Latinos hold more conservative attitudes regarding gender roles when compared to Whites. However, Latinos born in the United States with higher education are more likely to have egalitarian gender role attitudes compared to Latino immigrants. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between gender role attitudes and acculturation, marianismo, and relationship control, among Latina immigrants living in the United States. A hierarchical regression and correlation analysis were used to measure the outcome of this study. A total of 234 women were included in the study with a mean age of 34 years old. The education level was less than high school (53 percent), with the majority employed (54 percent). The average time living in the United States was 8 years (SD = 2.0). Acculturation, marianismo, and relationship control were significantly associated with gender‐role, R2 = .207, F (3, 95) = 11.3, p = 0.001. The correlation analysis showed an inverse relationship between egalitarian attitudes and marianismo (r = −.304, p < .0005) and a positive relationship with acculturation (r = .295, p < .0005). Egalitarian gender role attitudes were observed with an inverse bidirectional relationship between marianismo and acculturation among Latino immigrant women living in the United States.

“…This is aligned to the theory of the psychological contract, Tena (2002), Robinson et al (1994); Rousseau (1989) and with the theory of contingencies (Figure 2). Now, taking into account the various aspects related to human behavior, Madero (2020) proposes some lines of research that should be included in the proposals to make in the future, as they have a relation to the values and principles of people (Rokeach and Ball-Rokeach, 1989;Olivas-Luj an et al, 2009). Because of the situation of risk and uncertainty that affects the environment, it is necessary to analyze from a perspective of change the acceptance of the new conditions that favor home office by people and the changes in behavior arising because of a closer coexistence between people in their homes and more distance in the workplaces.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to know the implications that COVID-19 has presented in the workplace to develop research strategies related to issues of human and organizational behavior on the business perspective. Design/methodology/approach Quantitative, exploratory based on primary and secondary sources, an online questionnaire was designed and applied with 33 items that was applied in the Mexican work environment, during the period from March 7 to 16, that is, in the same week as WHO made the pandemic declaration for COVID-19, obtaining a total of 332 responses. Findings With the descriptive analyzes carried out, it was possible to know the perception that people have of various aspects related to COVID-19, and subsequently the corresponding reliability tests were carried out, obtaining Cronbach’s alpha indexes greater than 0.8. At the beginning of the declaration of pandemic by COVID-19, a relationship was shown between stress and the aspects related to the arrival of COVID-19, showing evidence of its impact on the workforce. Research limitations/implications This work has contributed ideas for academics, managers and areas of human resources that can promote the growth and development of people with the aim of achieving comprehensive well-being in the workplace, generating better working conditions owing to the proposal to make remote work a successful strategy in the function of human resources in the workplace and in the improvement of society in general. Originality/value This research, in addition to being carried out with information obtained in the first weeks of March 2020, presents a model with ideas and themes to design future research projects and to analyze the post-COVID-19 effects in the workplace, with a business perspective, human behavior and organization.
