How sustainable human resources management helps in the evaluation and planning of employee loyalty and retention: Can social capital make a difference?
(Elsevier, 2022) Cachón-Rodríguez, Gabriel; Blanco‐Gonzalez, Alicia; Prado-Román, Camilo; Del-Castillo-Feito, Cristina
Los investigadores establecen que los retos actuales de la gestión de recursos humanos para atraer y retener el talento se basan en fomentar e incrementar la participación de las relaciones con los empleados y gestionar de forma sostenible la organización y los equipos. El objetivo de este artículo es evaluar el efecto que tiene la gestión sostenible de recursos humanos sobre el capital social y los programas de retención y fidelización de empleados. La información necesaria para realizar el análisis empírico se obtuvo de una encuesta online a universidades españolas. El procesamiento de datos se realizó mediante la técnica PLS-SEM. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que las acciones de sostenibilidad social influyen significativamente en el capital social percibido por los empleados y que el capital social influye significativamente en su lealtad y retención. Sin embargo, encontramos que las acciones de sostenibilidad social influyen en la lealtad y retención de los empleados de manera significativa y positiva sólo cuando median entre el capital social. Esta investigación contribuye a la gestión de las organizaciones y sugiere a los gestores de capital humano tener una mayor gestión relacional de los recursos humanos en la vinculación, involucramiento y transparencia de sus acciones de sostenibilidad social para lograr mayores ratios de lealtad y retención, mejor desempeño de la organización y , en general, un mayor beneficio para la sociedad.
Political Disaffection, Sociodemographic, and Psychographic Variables as State Legitimacy Determinants in the European Union
(Sage, 2022) Del-Castillo-Feito, Cristina; Cachón-Rodríguez, Gabriel; Paz-Gil, Iria
According to political science, modern societies can separate the state function and the politicians’ mission. However, the existing relationship between political disaffection and state legitimacy indicates the contrary. The interest held by the European Union inhabitants in their politicians has been decreasing, and the closeness to a specific political party or political leader has been weakening. Many European countries have a great degree of polarity in their political parties’ system, which augments the complexity of forming governments or even makes it impossible. Citizens have been affected by corruption, the economic situation, migratory crisis, or the European project weakness. They feel that politicians have forgotten their role as the people’s representatives and their responsibility to behave according to society’s general interest. Through its institutions, the state must ensure the country’s performance and maintain it despite the change in the political leaders. Moreover, its legitimacy will depend on the level of social support received by these institutions. This research aims to quantify if the current political disaffection influences the European Union states’ social support level or state legitimacy. It also expects to demonstrate which sociodemographic and psychographic variables influence on governments’ fragility and the dilution of state legitimacy, which is critical for countries’ stability. For this purpose, we used the available data from the European Social Survey for 2016, and we developed a statistical analysis through variation and regression analysis. The results highlight the strong effect that political disaffection, as well as variables such as religion, immigration perception, citizenship, or emotional state have on state legitimacy and reveal the need for changes in the political parties’ performance and behavior to maintain the countries’ stability.
Reputation and legitimacy: Key factors for Higher Education Institutions’ sustained competitive advantage
(Elsevier, 2020) Miotto, Giorgia; Del-Castillo-Feito, Cristina; Blanco-González, Alicia
Globalization, rankings, and the decrease of public funding have created a highly competitive environment for public universities. Internal and external stakeholders increasingly demand better results in term of research, teaching, knowledge transfer, employability, and community outreach. In this new landscape, intangible assets such as reputation and legitimacy are key factors for gaining a sustained competitive advantage. And yet, here remains a lack of clarity about these variables and their relationships. This research aims to increase our understanding of the field by measuring how reputation, by way of its influence on legitimacy, can create a sustained competitive advantage for public universities. We measure reputation and legitimacy by surveying 509 professors from 47 different Spanish universities, considering pragmatic, moral and cognitive legitimacy types and analyze reputation in terms of performance, innovation, citizenship, services, governance, and workplace climate. According to faculty members, a university’s reputation has a significative and positive effect on its legitimacy.
