- ItemEffects of Work–Family Conflict and Facilitation Profiles on Work Engagement(MDPI, 2024-07-03) Carvalho, Carla; Mónico, Lisete; Pinto, Ana; Oliveira, Soraia; Leite, EduardoAchieving the balance between work and family life needs a holistic viewpoint on how these two aspects interact. It poses a significant challenge due to its impact on individuals, organizations, and society. Research suggests that employees engaged in both spheres tend to exhibit more favorable work attitudes, and experience improved health and wellbeing. In this study, we examined the interplay between work–family dynamics and work engagement among 654 university professors in Portugal. Using several statistical methods, including confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, cluster analysis, and multivariate analysis, we identified distinct conflict and facilitation patterns within work–family relationships. Our findings revealed four clusters representing different conflict-facilitation profiles: those characterized by either work → family facilitation or conflict, and, similarly, family → work facilitation or conflict. Notably, we observed a significant association between work engagement and work–family facilitation, particularly evident in dimensions such as vigor and dedication. Absorption showed fewer significant effects than the other dimensions. We discuss these results, suggesting interventions within the university professors’ careers, as well as further research directions.
- ItemIdentidade Dialógica, Alteridade e Afetividade(Instituto de Psicologia da Universidade de Brasília, 2019-03-01) Tavares, Sofia; Rosa, CatarinaNeste artigo teórico, partimos do princípio de que os processos humanos de significação e de conhecimento se consubstanciam e se desenvolvem em interdependência com os outros, para abordarmos a identidade pessoal como um espaço dialógico entre um Eu e um Outro (uma pessoa, um grupo, uma comunidade, uma sociedade), dinamicamente regulado por afetos. A inerência dialógica da vida psicológica é abordada – i.e., o papel dos outros na constituição da subjetividade humana – e, particularmente, as dimensões afetivas e motivacionais desse processo. | In this theoretical paper we assume that human processes of meaning-making and knowledge are embodied and developed in interdependence with the Other(s) in order to approach personal identity as a dialogical space between the I and the Other (an I-position, a person, a group, a community, a society) dynamically regulated by affection. The dialogical inherence of psychological life is addressed, i.e., the role of otherness in the constitution of human subjectivity and particularly the affective and motivational dimensions of this process.
- Item“I’m Not the Same, but I’m Not Sorry”: exploring dialogical positioning in the self-transformation of a former politically violent militant(Taylor & Francis, 2020-03-02) Silva, Raquel da; Rosa, Catarina; König, JuttaThis article traces the personal and cultural voices expressed in the life-story interview of a former politically violent militant regarding her engagement with and disengagement from the armed struggle. Rather than looking at the macro and meso aspects related to politically motivated violence, we examine micro-narratives which express individual arguments, sociocultural discourses, and negotiations within and between them, These are voiced in the dynamics that take place within the self-system at times of key identity transitions (e.g., from being a committed militant to becoming a former militant). In this vein, we highlight how the embodied emotional chords of personal positions, the development of meta-positions, and the positioning and repositioning movements within the dialogical self, facilitate the emergence of new and more adaptive meanings in the personal meaning system of former militants.
- ItemExploring the Relationship between Decision-Making Styles and Emotion Regulation: a study of police officials in portuguese public security(MDPI, 2024-10-14) Carvalho, Carla; Pinto, Ana; Pinedo, Beatriz; Oliveira, Soraia; Gondim, Sonia Maria Guedes; Carlotto, Mary Sandra; Moura, Rui Coelho deIn public security policing, where pressure is constant, effective decision-making and emotion regulation are critical, especially for leaders. These processes significantly impact upon work results, performance, officials’ health, employee well-being, and the organizational environment. This study aims to broaden the understanding of decision-making styles and emotion-regulation strategies used by police officials in the Portuguese Public Security Police (PSP). We surveyed 138 Portuguese high-ranking police officials using two self-response questionnaires, namely the Emotion Regulation in the Workplace (ReTrab) and the Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire (MDMQ), both translated, adapted, and validated for the Portuguese police context. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted, followed by correlations to explore the relationship between emotion-regulation strategies and decision-making styles. Finally, through a regression analysis, the potential impact of this relationship was assessed. The results reveal that specific emotion-regulation strategies, except for adaptive ones, significantly influence and modify the decision-making styles of PSP officials. Dysfunctional and maladaptive emotion-regulation strategies lead to less adaptive decision-making styles, while functional strategies promote more adaptive styles. These findings have theoretical and practical implications, offering valuable insights for targeted training programs and interventions in the law-enforcement sector, benefiting the police personnel, the communities they serve, and public perceptions about police.
- ItemEmotional Labor, Occupational Identity, and Work Engagement among Portuguese First Responders(Colegio Oficial de la Psicología de Madrid, 2024-12-04) Oliveira, Soraia; Carvalho, Carla M. Santos de; Pinto, Ana L. Sousa; Gondim, Sonia Maria GuedesFirst responders, including police officers and firefighters, face emotionally intense, high-risk situations, necessitating effective emotional management to sustain work engagement and occupational identity. This study, grounded in emotional labor and social identity theories, analyzed data from 248 first responders to explore the impact of emotional labor on work engagement, with occupational identity as a mediator. Results showed that firefighters faced higher demands for positive emotion expression and reported greater occupational identity and work engagement than police officers. Positive emotion expression enhanced work engagement, while surface-acting and negative emotion suppression negatively affected both outcomes, particularly for police officers. Mediation analysis revealed occupational identity as a key mechanism linking emotional labor to work engagement. These findings highlight the stabilizing role of occupational identity in work engagement despite emotional labor demands. The study emphasizes the need for targeted and occupation-specific interventions among first responders to mitigate emotional exhaustion and sustain engagement. | Los equipos de intervención rápida, incluidos policías y bomberos, se enfrentan a situaciones emocionalmente intensas y de alto riesgo, lo que hace necesario un manejo emocional eficaz para mantener la implicación en el trabajo y la identidad ocupacional. Este estudio, basado en las teorías del trabajo emocional y la identidad social, analizó datos de 248 miembros de equipos de intervención rápida para explorar el impacto del trabajo emocional en la implicación en el trabajo, con la identidad ocupacional como mediadora. Los resultados indican que los bomberos se enfrentan a mayores exigencias para expresar emociones positivas y expresan mayor identidad ocupacional e implicación en el trabajo que los policías. La expresión de emociones positivas facilitó la implicación en el trabajo, mientras que la actuación superficial y la supresión de emociones negativas afectaron negativamente a ambos resultados, particularmente en los policías. El análisis de mediación pone de manifiesto que la identidad ocupacional es un mecanismo clave que conecta el trabajo emocional con la implicación en el trabajo. Estos hallazgos destacan el papel estabilizador de la identidad ocupacional en la implicación en el trabajo a pesar de las exigencias del trabajo emocional. El estudio subraya la necesidad de intervenciones específicas y adaptadas a cada ocupación en los miembros de equipos de intervención rápida para mitigar el agotamiento emocional y mantener la implicación en el trabajo.
