Abstract - Guarda Nacional Republicana Risk Analysis and Revenue Management System. Case Study: Comando Territorial de Lisboa
|
|
Abstract: The complexity and decentralization of revenue along with the need for effective allocation of public resources in the Guarda Nacional Republicana are the core of this research. The present research aims to analyze the impacts of a risk management system in the decision-making process. In this context, the objective is to identify and analyze the most critical areas and control mechanisms implemented in the monitoring of the inherent risks in the process of road accident certificates. Thus, the purpose is to analyze the impacts of a risk management system in the process understudy in the Comando Territorial de Lisboa and, consequently, its consequences in the administration of the internal resources of the Guarda Nacional Republicana. The findings show that the most critical areas in the process of own revenue management are related to the collection and saving of public funds, therefore, the control mechanisms implemented reduce the margin of error. However, it is noted that the revenue is collected in a decentralized manner associated with various computer systems without interoperability which implies technical inconsistencies that severely affect their management. Thus, it is concluded that an adequate risk management methodology reveals an optimization of the application of the internal resources of the Guarda Nacional Republicana based on the alignment of the strategic objectives with the institution´s risk assessment. In conclusion, a risk management system is a tool meant to support decision making allied to the safeguarding of assets, the protection of the institutional image and the fulfillment of the mission.

Abstract - The Impact of Guarda Nacional Republicana’s Reward Systems on the Military’s Organizational Commitment
|
|
Abstract: The aim of this research is to analyze the impact of Guarda Nacional Republicana’s rewards systems on the military's organizational commitment and, more precisely, on intrinsic rewards. Organizations in general, but they also have a hierarchical structure like this, to achieve success, need to know what is most valued by workers, in this case, the level of intrinsic rewards, as a way to increase commitment. This analysis is important because of the need for the superior hierarchical structure to gauge which intrinsic rewards are most valued by their subordinates, as well as what kind of intrinsic rewards have the greatest impact on military commitment. Organizations intend to keep their employees engaged in an affective and normative way, as these are the components of commitment that have the most positive effects. In this research, questionnaires were applied to military personnel who work in Guarda Nacional Republicana Units located in the Lisbon district. The sample studied is constituted of 497 military. The results indicate that the granting of intrinsic, formal and informal rewards to the military produces positive effects on their commitment. That is, the relationship and impact between these rewards and the affective and normative components of commitment is significantly positive. In addition, the informal intrinsic rewards are the most valued by the military. We also conclude that the intrinsic rewards granted to the military are extremely important because they contribute to their maintenance in the organization. The present investigation can also help the hierarchical superiors, in their daily routine, to know how to make their subordinates more committed.

Abstract - Investigating the Deterring Factors for Youth Entrepreneurial Intention among Students at a South African University
|
|
Abstract: Youth unemployment, which is a global phenomenon, is one of the main causes of poverty amongst the youth of South Africa. It has been observed that attaining a university qualification, no longer guarantees one an employment opportunity as the job market is highly saturated and cannot accommodate the thousands of young graduates churned out by universities each year. This leaves graduates with two options, either start a business or to remain unemployed and hope for an employment opportunity. This economic problem has led academics to inquire about what possible factors may influence young people to engage in entrepreneurship and what may turn them away from starting their own business. Although entrepreneurship has been purported globally as the springboard in facilitating economic participation among youth, they face many stumbling blocks during their entrepreneurial journey.

Abstract - Racing to the Bottom? The Link between Exporting Behaviour and Worker Job Satisfaction
|
|
Abstract: Using firm-level data from the World Bank’s Enterprise Surveys, this paper investigates whether there exists a significant relationship between the exporting status of a firm and the likelihood of its workers leaving the job, after controlling for a number of firm and industry characteristics. We also examine the connection between the fraction of sales exported and the number of production days lost due to worker strikes. Our main conclusion is that exports affect the number of employees leaving due to illness (or for other reasons) positively and significantly. By utilizing several enforcement measures, such as inspections by fire and building safety officials, this paper illustrates that the argument for “race to the bottom” in labour standards as a result of trade liberalization deserves greater consideration in regional, multilateral and bilateral trade agreements. Keywords: Labour standards, International trade, Regulations, Enforcement. |
