This case study is supported by variables from EU affiliates of Novartis, a healthcare company which provides healthcare solutions addressing the evolving needs of patients and societies worldwide. About 123 000 people of 144 nationalities work at Novartis. AtNovartis, D&I strategy places an emphasis on influencing the diversity of patients, customers and suppliers, as well as recruitment, onboarding, talent development. The company continues to enhance the level of D&I competencies for human resources professionals and leaders through learning focused on unconscious bias, inclusive leadership, disabilities/ accommodations and compensation/pay equity. The methodology is a mixed approach, qualitative and quantitative, to support the case study as research method, combining documental information, interviews and questionnaires. The theoretical model is based on D&I dimensions (2) diversity and inclusion; Novartis values and behaviors (6) courage, collaboration, performance, innovation, quality and integrity; and its relations with Novartis organizational performance KPIs (5) innovation, people, quality, performance and productivity. Obtained results will reveal that the proposed theoretical model, constructs and sub-constructs present quality and reliability to give an answer to the problem, questions and purposes of the research, confirming the relevance of this model and the verification of the of the purposes of the research. 2019-05-31T23:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10174/26051 Title: Contributions of Iberian Foundations to the Achievement of Global Goals Authors: Fialho, Ana; Félix, Elisabete Gomes Santana; Jorge, Fátima; Soto Moya, Maria Del Mar Editors: SRRNet Abstract: In this paper we analyse the contribution of two Iberian Foundations to the United Nations SDGs (Global Goals). In particular, we studied, the case of Eugénio de Almeida Foundation, from Portugal, and Yuste Foundation, from Spain, between 2016 and 2018. To achieve the main objective, three specific objectives were defined: the first one is to understand if sustainability is present in the Foundations Mission, Vision and Values; the second one is to analyse how the activities developed by each Foundations contribute to the SDGs and relate these activities to the SDGs targets; and finally to do a comparative analysis of the results of the two foundations. To reach these objectives, we use the case study method based on the analysis of annual reports and websites of the two Foundations and cross-referenced information about the mission, objectives, values and activities developed since 2016 with the specific targets of Global Goals. This paper show that Iberian Foundations contribute to the sustainable development goals, since its mission fits perfectly with the objectives for sustainable development as its activities have a strong social nature and aim at sustainable development in the regions where they operate and beyond. However, we do not find it easily because the Foundations do not provide sustainability reports, nor do they provide sustainability information in their annual reports and accounts, or on their web sites. The study will present contributions at several levels: literature, policy and practice. It makes contributions to the literature on relationships between sustainability practices and sustainability report; the regulation and institutionalization of sustainability practices and reporting for SDGs. Also, it contributes to a better understanding of the role of Iberian Foundations as partnerships for global goals and their contribution to the effective develop, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels. 2019-08-31T23:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10174/24706 Title: Conciliação entre a vida profissional e a vida familiar no quadro da responsabilidade social das organizações: perceção dos trabalhadores de uma autarquia Authors: Zita, Filipa; Jorge, Fátima; Cid, Nuno de Salter Abstract: A presente investigação teve origem numa Dissertação de Mestrado em Gestão - Especialização em Recursos Humanos da Universidade de Évora e tem como principal objetivo analisar se uma autarquia do Alentejo considera as questões da conciliação entre a vida profissional e a vida familiar nas suas práticas de responsabilidade social interna. A metodologia escolhida foi o estudo de caso, recorrendo-se a uma amostra prédefinida de trabalhadores para aplicação de um inquérito por questionário construído e adaptado de Antunes (2013), Brites (2015), CE (2001), CITE, Código do Trabalho, Lei Geral do Trabalho em Funções Públicas, Guerreiro, Lourenço e Pereira (2006), Santos (2010) e Silva (2012) e, à realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas a informantes chave, cujo guião se baseia no questionário deste trabalho e no guião de Romeiro (2017). Os resultados revelam que existe uma clara tendência para as práticas de conciliação se centrarem numa perspetiva essencialmente legal, apesar da autarquia estudada ter algumas medidas que vão além da lei. Perante este cenário, pode afirmar-se que a organização é socialmente responsável no que toca a estas questões, cumprindo a vertente legal de um quadro de responsabilidade social e completando-a com iniciativas que evidenciam a filantropia, ainda que os participantes tenham maior perceção de responsabilidade social organizacional ao nível externo. 2018-05-31T23:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10174/23583 Title: As implicações políticas das categorias de “vazio” e “conjuntura” em L. Althusser Authors: Viparelli, Irene Abstract: A hipótese fundamental que procuramos demonstrar ao longo do artigo é que, focando a análise da obra de L. Althusser em torno das categorias de conjuntura e de vazio, é possível encontrar una continuidade inesperada entre os seus textos “estruturalistas”, os relativos à crise do marxismo e os sobre o materialismo aleatório. Tentaremos deste modo mostrar que a teoria do materialismo aleatório, desenvolvida por Althusser nos primeiros anos da década de 1980, representa uma tentativa de permanecer fiel à hipótese revolucionária, numa conjuntura histórica maquiavélica, em que todas as condições, quer teóricas quer políticas, da revolução, encontram-se dissolvidas 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z
