Publicación Identidad social, burnout y satisfacción laboral: estudio empírico basado en el modelo de la categorización del yo(Fundación Infancia y Aprendizaje, 2006) Topa Cantisano, Gabriela Elba; Fernández Sedano, Iciar; Palací Descals, Francisco JoséEste estudio con trabajadores españoles de servicios de emergencias (N=151) pone a prueba un patrón de relaciones entre la identidad social, el burnout y la satisfacción laboral basadas en el modelo de la categorización del yo. Proponemos que la identificación organizacional y el burnout percibido tienen impacto directo en la satisfacción con los compañeros de trabajo y que ese impacto podría estar mediado por el apoyo social. Todas las relaciones pronosticadas se prueban simultáneamente usando las técnicas de modelado de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados de una serie de análisis efectuados con AMOS indican que el modelo postulado ajusta a los datos, pero que permanece una relación directa entre la identificación con el grupo y la satisfacción con los compañeros. Los resultados se discuten en orden a la integración conceptual y a la dirección de futuras intervenciones.Publicación Yo laboral futuro y proactividad en la carrera profesional, el efecto mediador serial de la pasión académica y la resiliencia(2024-01-13) Bernabé Castaño, Miguel; Merhi Auar, Richard; Lisbona Bañuelos, Ana María; Palací Descals, Francisco JoséLos estudiantes universitarios desarrollan conductas proactivas para una mejor empleabilidad. Una imagen de un yo futuro laboral puede motivar proactivas en los estudiantes. Los recursos personales, como la pasión académica y la resiliencia, pueden ser la forma en que el yo laboral del futuro genere proactividad en la carrera profesional. Este artículo tiene como objetivo estudiar los efectos mediadores entre el yo futuro laboral, la pasión académica y la resiliencia para predecir la proactividad en la carrera profesional. Un total de 802 estudiantes de pregrado son reclutados para el estudio en edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 27 a ˜nos (M = 23.2, DT = 2.7). Para ello, se realizan análisis descriptivos, correlaciones y confiabilidad de las escalas. Posteriormente, se diseña un modelo de regresión jerárquica para estudiar el efecto de la interacción en un modelo serial con pasión y resiliencia utilizando PROCESS. En los resultados se observan efectos indirectos independientes significativos del yo futuro laboral a través de la pasión armoniosa y la resiliencia sobre el comportamiento profesional proactivo. Además, se obtiene una mediación seriada a través de la pasión académica armoniosa y resiliencia. Estos resultados proporcionan evidencia del papel que tiene la pasión académica para generar recursos personales como la resiliencia. También, el yo futuro laboral, puede ser un motivador para un comportamiento proactivo orientado a la carrera en estudiantes.Publicación Lactation and Work: Managers’ Support for Breastfeeding Enhance Vertical Trust and Organizational Identification(Frontiers Media, 2020-02-11) Lisbona Bañuelos, Ana María; Bernabé Castaño, Miguel; Palací Descals, Francisco JoséBackground: In working women, there are barriers when combining the mother and work role, especially during the breastfeeding period. Recent literature shows that improving organizational support increases trust performance via different domains (i.e., organizational identification) and that improving support for breastfeeding increases lactation rates and duration. Breastfeeding support in the workplace is one component that contributes to a mother’s ability to continue to breastfeed once she has returned to work. This is a Human Resource Management practice that facilitates a work–life balance. Working mothers have, at least, two roles: mother and worker and, when mothers return to work, they have to manage both identities. Is lactation a way to keep both identities connected? Is organizational support of breastfeeding a way to improve organizational identification? The aim of this paper is to analyze a hierarchical model to explain how managers and co-worker support to breastfeeding predict trust and organizational identity in a sample of Spanish working mothers (N = 1,028). Materials and Methods: To analyze the indirect effect, it was tested using a mediation model with PROCESS in two random samples and carried out structural equation modeling to confirm structural relationship in the proposed model. Results: Outcomes reveal effects of managers’ support to lactation and vertical trust in organizational identity but not in co-worker path. Conclusion: The findings suggest the manager’s role in maintaining trust from working women and create and maintenance organizational identification.Publicación Cognitive and Affective Antecedents of Consumers’ Satisfaction: A Systematic Review of Two Research Approaches(MDPI, 2019-01-15) Palací Descals, Francisco José; Salcedo, Alejandro; Topa Cantisano, Gabriela ElbaThe study of consumers’ satisfaction has generated empirical research in the last few decades, with new challenges, such as a specific lens on online consumers’ satisfaction. During the last decades, two well-differentiated research traditions can be observed: cognitive and affective. A wide range of antecedents of consumers’ satisfaction has been proposed. The present contribution empirical research conducted under these two perspectives to determine which variables are related to satisfaction, the direction of these relationships, and the differences between the two dominant approaches. We conducted a systematic review of 104 empirical studies on consumers’ satisfaction published between 1975 and 2017. The findings showed that both the cognitive and the affective tradition yield statistically significant precursors of satisfaction. A comparison between empirical studies exploring consumers’ satisfaction in traditional versus by Internet purchasing behavior showed an increasing relevance of cognitive facets in traditional consumer behavior. Empirical evidence exploring differences between consumers’ satisfaction with purchasing goods versus hiring services showed that both cognitive and affective predictors strongly impact when services are hired versus consuming goods. This article concludes with a discussion of these results and their implications.Publicación Too soon to worry? Longitudinal examination of financial planning for retirement among Spanish aged workers(Public Library of Science, 2018-12-14) Palací Descals, Francisco José; Jiménez, Irene; Topa Cantisano, Gabriela ElbaThe present study analyzes the relationship between three distal antecedents—financial literacy, confidence in retirement, and economic well-being—and financial planning for retirement evaluated at two different times. We used longitudinal data with repeated measures of financial planning for retirement obtained from a sample (N = 269) of active Spanish workers aged 45–62 years. The results confirm that self-perceived financial knowledge, confidence in retirement, and economic well-being are associated with financial planning for retirement at three and six months. The stability of financial planning for retirement over time was a relevant finding in the present research, even though different measures have been employed in the two waves and financial planning decreases slightly at three months. While the first step of planning, at three months, has predictive power over the second, at six months, there are possible moderators in the relationship between financial planning for retirement at time 1 and time 2, which were not explored. The implications of the results both for financial education and Policy-makers are discussed. Future lines of research can explore these relationships including objective measures of income, as wealth accumulation.Publicación Team Efficiency in Organizations: A Group Perspective on Initiative(MDPI, 2020-03-16) Lisbona Bañuelos, Ana María; Las Hayas, Abel; Palací Descals, Francisco José; Bernabé Castaño, Miguel; Morales Yago, Francisco José; Haslam, AlexanderOrganizational research has shown that personal initiative is related to both climate for initiative and work engagement. Yet little is known about what happens to this relationship once the focus shifts to the team level. When organizational and team goals are involved this renders the relationship more complex, and team identification and organizational identification are likely to be key to understanding it. In this paper we develop a model to deal with these complexities. This predicts (a) that team identification will impact on team initiative through team work engagement while (b) organizational identification will impact on team initiative through climate for initiative. It is also expected that team initiative will, in turn, impact on team productivity, and on radical innovation as evaluated by the team leader. This model was tested in a field study with 327 participants of 76 workteams belonging to 50 organizations. Results of SEM and regression analysis supported our main hypotheses. Findings showed that initiative is related to performance and also underline the importance of initiative at a team level. At the same time they suggest that to develop teams with high levels of initiative it is important to promote both organizational and team identification.Publicación Perfeccionismo y engagement académico, el papel mediador de la pasión por los estudios(Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), 2023-06-13) Bernabé Castaño, Miguel; Merhi Auar, Richard; Lisbona Bañuelos, Ana María; Palací Descals, Francisco JoséEn los últimos años las instituciones universitarias, junto al interés tradicional sobre el rendimiento académico, están mostrando atención hacia el bienestar de los estudiantes. El concepto de engagement trata de vincular ambos ámbitos y sugiere que hay mecanismos motivacionales comunes al bienestar y rendimiento. Los adultos universitarios especialmente optan por cursar estudios universitarios por un afán de desarrollo que se traduce en una pasión por aprender. Esta pasión, ha evidenciado efectos tanto positivos como negativos sobre el bienestar. Por otra parte, el perfeccionismo ha mostrado ser un predictor del desempeño académico con resultados ambivalentes en la salud de estudiantes. Por ello, se pretende en el siguiente trabajo analizar la relación del perfeccionamiento sobre el engagement académico y el efecto mediador de la pasión en 545 estudiantes universitarios de educación a distancia a través de un diseño cuasiexperimental. Se realizan análisis de mediación utilizando el método Partial Least Squares (PLS) con el software SmartPLS. Los resultados señalan que las dimensiones de pasión armoniosa y obsesiva, y el perfeccionismo autocentrado y socialmente prescrito difieren en sus puntuaciones en engagement académico. Así, el perfeccionismo autocentrado presenta una relación significativa con el engagement, tanto directamente como a través de la pasión, especialmente la armoniosa. Se observa un efecto diferente con el perfeccionismo socializado. El modelo presenta un adecuado nivel predictivo (Q2= [.435 - .630]). Por tanto, la pasión constituye una variable mediadora entre las creencias perfeccionistas de los estudiantes y el engagement académico en la muestra de estudio (SRMR<.08; R2= 45% p<.005). Las implicaciones teóricas y prácticas son analizadas, como la importancia de implementar estrategias que fomenten en el estudiantado un papel activo, retador y flexible de su aprendizaje.Publicación Initiative in Work Teams: Lever between Authentic Leadership and Results(MDPI, 2021-05-06) Lisbona Bañuelos, Ana María; Las Hayas, Abel; Palací Descals, Francisco José; Frese, MichaelBackground: The central point of this study is team initiative, and we analyzed how the theoretical model of antecedents and consequents of personal initiative contribute to explaining the relationship between team initiative and its antecedents and consequents. Authentic leadership is proposed as the antecedent, and the consequent leads to two types of outcomes, one of which is related to employee well-being, and the other is related to performance. However, little is known about what occurs in this relationship once the focus shifts to the team level. From a team perspective, with the label team initiative, we propose a collective construct defined similarly to personal initiative. This study shows the relationship between team initiative and its two consequences, team work engagement and performance, which are measured in terms of team productivity by the leader. Methods: Our model was tested in a field study with 344 employees of 79 work teams belonging to 55 organizations. Results: The analysis of the results using SEM and a regression analysis supported our main hypotheses. Conclusions: The finding that initiative is related to performance establishes the importance of initiative at the team level. It also emphasizes its impact on employee well-being through team work engagement and suggests the importance of authentic leadership.Publicación The role of psychological strengths coping strategies and well-being in the prediction of academic engagement and burnout in first-year university students(UNED - Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia, 2018-12-24) Merhi Auar, Richard; Sánchez-Elvira Paniagua, Ángeles; Palací Descals, Francisco JoséTwo of the most significant challenges that higher education institutions are currently addressing are students' failure and drop-out prevention, as well as the promotion of students’ retention and success. The present study aimed at analysing the role that different variables play in the prediction of Academic Engagement and Burnout in first-year university students, under a multivariate perspective. The contribution of relevant psychological strengths in academic environments (Resilience, Personal initiative, and Academic Motivation), Procrastination and different coping strategies facing studies (Persistence, Avoidance and Anxiety) was explored. Also, the perception of academic demands and stress, students' affect (positive and negative) and the academic satisfaction was considered. Finally, an analysis of different engaged and burnt-out profiles of students was carried out. The contribution of the Efficacy subscale of Academic Burnout as an independent personal resource, and the consideration of the so-called Core Burnout, were subject of analysis. A sample of 172 first-year students of face-to-face universities, 68.8% women with a mean age of 22.99 years (SD = 7.62) volunteered to participate online in this study. The results showed, on the one hand, that Academic Engagement consisted mainly on a positive and intrinsic motivational construct, also characterised by academic efficacy, persistence as an active coping strategy, positive affect and satisfaction. On the other hand Core Burnout was mainly characterised by the perception of higher demands (e.g. academic overload), maladaptive learning behaviours and coping strategies such as procrastination and avoidance of difficulties, negative affect and dissatisfaction. Different profiles of engaged and burnt-out students were also analysed showing strong differences regarding personal strengths, coping with learning strategies, well-being and satisfaction with studies. These results could help us to set bases for the development of early support and prevention programs for students’ Burnout, as well as actions aiming at promoting students’ Engagement and well-being during their first academic year.Publicación ¿Estudio lo que quiero o lo que debo? Efectos de la motivación en la preferencia de estudio sobre la eficacia percibida, el engagement académico y la ideación de abandonar los estudios universitarios(Universidad de Murcia, 2025-01-07) Merhi Auar, Richard; Sánchez-Elvira Paniagua, Ángeles; Palací Descals, Francisco José; Salanova, Marisa; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7873-7078El presente estudio analiza, mediante un modelo cross-lagged el impacto de las motivaciones (intrínsecas y extrínsecas) en la elección de una titulación universitaria. Se investiga cómo estas motivaciones afectan la eficacia percibida, el engagement académico, los resultados académicos y la tendencia al cambio o abandono de estudios. Una muestra de 198 estudiantes de universidades españolas respondió a una batería de cuestionarios antes y después del primer periodo de evaluación académica del curso. Los resultados muestran el claro impacto positivo de los motivos intrínsecos (frente a los extrínsecos) sobre la eficacia percibida y el engagement académico. Por otra parte, se observa que el engagement ejerce un papel mediador en la relación de la motivación y la eficacia percibida con la ideación de cambio y el abandono de estudios universitarios. Este último indicador es predicho tanto por un menor engagement como por peores resultados académicos. Los datos destacan la importancia de una adecuada orientación preuniversitaria hacia titulaciones para las que el estudiante experimente una mayor motivación intrínseca, por su impacto posterior en variables que previenen el abandono y el cambio de estudios. Estas acciones deberían complementarse con otras que incrementen los niveles de recursos personales y el bienestar del estudiantado, una vez iniciados los estudios.
