- Building competitive advantages and business success: the role of learning orientation, reward systems and entrepreneurial orientationPublication . Correia, Ricardo Jorge; Dias, José G.; Teixeira, Mário Sérgio; Campos, SusanaPurpose – The complexity of the firm’s external environment, with its constant changes, forces managers to develop novel strategies that can meet new strategic needs. The purpose of this study is to examine the role of reward systems (RSs) in strategic management, as well as their relationship to learning and entrepreneurial orientation (EO), commonly referred to as the driving force behind growth, competitive advantages (CAs) and improved performance. It also focuses on the study of the relationship between EO and business performance (BP), the introduction and testing of the possible antecedents of this relationship and potential mediating factors. Design/methodology/approach – A conceptual model was tested on a sample of 1,190 Portuguese firms using a structural equation model. Findings – It is shown for the first time that learning orientation (LO) is an antecedent of the RSs and, subsequently, of EO. Additionally, the CAs of differentiation and cost leadership play a mediating role in the relationship between EO and BP. Furthermore, RSs are also a driving force behind both CAs. Originality/value – This study makes several empirical and theoretical contributions, addressing the gap in the literature about the role of RSs in strategic management. It tests the relationship between LO and the firm’s performance by taking the mediating effects of RSs, EO and CAs into account. Additionally, we discuss LO as an antecedent strategic variable of human resources practices, in particular, RSs. Finally, we broaden the scope of our research by examining these issues in the context of Portuguese SMEs fromdifferent industries.
- Business model innovations and their relationship with sustainable development in agribusiness: a bibliometric analysisPublication . Estácio, Rita; Campos, Susana; Correia, Ricardo Jorge; Teixeira, Mário SérgioThis article identifies the main links, commonalities, and future interdisciplinary topics between business model innovations and sustainable development in agribusiness. A systematic bibliometric analysis of the literature on business model innovations related to sustainable development in agribusiness was carried out using RStudio – Biblioshiny for Bibliometrix. Two hundred and fifty-one documents published in journals indexed in Scopus and Web of Science were analyzed between 2001 and 2023. Business model innovations and sustainable development in agribusiness are seen as ways of responding to social, economic, and environmental challenges. The research also reveals that when sustainable development is the topic, innovations in business models tend to incorporate practices that seek profitability and minimization of environmental and social impacts, promoting corporate social responsibility and long-term sustainability. There is a growing consensus that purely profit-focused business models have considerable limitations in neglecting social business activities and environmental impacts. About the question, “What are the innovations in business models that can improve sustainable development in agribusiness?”, the literature provides no practical answers. The next steps, therefore, are to identify and analyse successful case studies.
- Eco-labelling food products as an integral part of the transition to a sustainable food systemPublication . Borges, Eduardo; Campos, Susana; Teixeira, Mário Sérgio; Lucas, Maria Raquel; Correia, Ricardo JorgePurpose | The eco-labelling of food products is an integral part of the transition to a sustainable food system, as it allows consumers to make informed, healthier and more sustainable choices. It reinforces the reputation of companies, showing that they are socially responsible and concerned about environmental issues. The aim of this study is to identify the determinants of the purchase of eco-labelled food products in the Portuguese context. Methodology/Approach | An online questionnaire was carried out among the Portuguese population over 18 years old. Data analysis techniques including descriptive analyses, parametric and non-parametric tests, linear correlation and regression analysis were applied. Expected Results | We expect to identify a positive correlation between consumers' attention to companies' Green Marketing communication and green purchasing behaviour, as well to obtain a positive correlation between the Communicated Socio-environmental Use (CSU) of the producer's declared commitment and green purchasing behaviour. These results are valuable for companies’ managers to develop and evaluate specific communication and marketing actions to the markets, taking into account current consumer preferences.
- Effects of leadership and reward systems on employees' motivation and job satisfaction: an application to the Portuguese textile industryPublication . Leitão, Mariana; Correia, Ricardo Jorge; Teixeira, Mário Sérgio; Campos, SusanaPurpose – This study explores the perception of employees in textile industry firms in Northern Portugal regarding the influence of leadership and reward systems (RS) on their motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic) and job satisfaction (JS). Design/methodology/approach – A questionnaire was addressed to the employees of 12 firms, obtaining a sample of 256 valid responses, for which a structural equation model was estimated. Findings – The results showed that leadership and RS influence JS only through the mediating effects of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Originality/value – This study makes empirical and theoretical contributions, testing the relationship between leadership and employees’ JS and how this relationship can be mediated by RS, and motivation – both intrinsic and extrinsic. Moreover, this study was conducted in Portugal, country where these issues have not been researched jointly before.

- How can design thinking improve food sustainability in the Minho region (eno)gastronomy? A multi-actor perspectivePublication . Oliveira, Rafael; Campos, Susana; Rodrigues, Ana Sofia; Vaz-Velho, Manuela; Correia, Ricardo JorgePurpose | This study has the following main goals: i) to define barriers and present specific solutions associated with the food ecosystem, common to the various actors in the territory; ii) to explore the present and future of Minho's (eno)gastronomy and iii) provide innovative responses that meet contemporary consumer demands in terms of health and sustainability. Methodology/Approach | Trough Design Thinking, we pursued a collaborative approach that melds gastronomic traditions with health and sustainability imperatives, ensuring holistic solutions that valorize Minho’s heritage. The process involved iterative workshops, engaging diverse stakeholders to analyze the historical and current state of Minho’s (eno) gastronomy, focusing on the transition to healthier and more sustainable practices. This multi-actor approach enabled integrated solutions, enhancing the food system while considering climate change impacts and modern health trends. Expected Results | The topics addressed by the region's players associated with the agri-food sector and the solutions proposed highlighted the intrinsic relationship between local production and sustainability, emphasising that the proximity between producer and consumer translates not only into a smaller carbon footprint, but also into the socioeconomic and cultural enhancement of the region. These results will enable policymakers to apply a multi-actor approach, taking into account the needs of the various stakeholders in the region and implementing concerted actions that jointly respond to the challenges and needs we have identified.
- How can Design Thinking improve food sustainability in the Minho Region? A multi-actor perspectivePublication . Campos, Susana; Oliveira, Rafael; Correia, Ricardo Jorge; Oliveira, Ana Teresa; Rodrigues, Ana Sofia; Velho, Manuela VazUsing the Design Thinking methodology and the multi-actor approach, the aim was to find an innovative and collaborative perspective that reconciles gastronomic traditions with health and sus-tainability criteria. To this end, two workshops were held, bringing together 12 participants from the agri-food ecosystem in the Minho region. We concluded that the topics discussed and the solutions proposed highlighted the intrinsic relationship between local production and sustainability, empha-sizing that the proximity between producer and consumer translates not only into a lower carbon footprint but also into the socio-economic and cultural enhancement of the region. The richness of Minho products, from their flavors, textures, and stories, deserves to be celebrated but also protected and adapted to the new challenges of today's society.This study has a very original and multidisci-plinary approach. Integrating different actors, specialties, and perspectives has promoted a rich ex-change of knowledge and experience, materialized in convergent ideas. To improve the future of enogastronomy, the design thinking approach is used for the first time in literature to promote inte-grated solutions in the Minho food system.
- Influência da liderança transformacional e cultura organizacional no compromisso dos colaboradores empresariaisPublication . Rodrigues, José Pedro; Correia, Ricardo Jorge; Campos, SusanaTemas como a liderança transformacional, a cultura organizacional, a motivação, a satisfação no trabalho e o compromisso têm sido amplamente estudadas no contexto empresarial de forma a perceber qual o seu efetivo contributo para a eficiência das empresas. No entanto, persistem ainda várias questões em aberto relativamente ao tipo de relações que se possam estabelecer entre estas diferentes variáveis. O presente estudo tem como objetivo principal analisar a perceção dos colaboradores de empresas do setor têxtil do norte de Portugal relativamente à influência da liderança transformacional e da cultura organizacional no compromisso dos colaboradores, bem como os possíveis efeitos mediadores da satisfação no trabalho e da motivação nestas relações. O estudo foi desenvolvido a partir de uma amostra de 235 colaboradores de sete empresas do setor têxtil. Recorreu-se a uma metodologia quantitativa de análise de dados a partir de um modelo de equações estruturais, utilizando o software IBM Amos (versão 26.0). Foram formuladas e testadas dez hipóteses, devidamente fundamentadas através de uma prévia revisão da literatura científica. Os resultados mostram que existe uma relação positiva entre a liderança transformacional e o compromisso dos colaboradores, apenas de forma indireta através dos efeitos mediadores da motivação e/ou da satisfação no trabalho. Por outro lado, foi possível verificar uma relação entre a cultura organizacional e o compromisso dos colaboradores, de forma direta e de forma indireta, através do efeito mediador da motivação. A satisfação no trabalho não se mostrou como mediadora desta relação.
- Internal social responsibility as a tool to prevent absenteeism and turnover ratesPublication . Afonso, Liliana; Ferreira-Oliveira, Ana Teresa; Correia, Ricardo Jorge; Campos, SusanaIn today's competitive business environment, organizations increasingly recognize the significance of Internal Social Responsibility (ISR) in fostering a productive workforce. ISR refers to the commitment of companies to uphold ethical practices, prioritize employee welfare, and create a supportive work culture. Numerous studies suggest that effective ISR strategies can significantly reduce absenteeism and turnover rates, enhancing overall workplace efficiency and employee satisfaction. Organizations that prioritize ISR often experience higher levels of employee engagement. Engaged employees are more likely to be committed to their work, leading to lower absenteeism and turnover rates. A recent study indicates that organizations with high employee engagement show lower absenteeism and lower turnover (Taiwo and Nwogwugwu, 2024). One of the primary benefits of ISR is its focus on employee well-being. Research consistently shows that employees experiencing high levels of stress and poor health are more likely to miss work. The American Psychological Association notes that workplace stress leads to a 30% increase in absenteeism and a 50% increase in turnover (APA, 2019). A supportive workplace culture that values employee input and feedback can significantly impact attendance. When employees feel heard and respected, they are more inclined to show up for work (Radu, 2023).
- O papel da digitalização na gestão de estruturas residenciais para idososPublication . Borges, José Eduardo; Campos, Susana; Caramelo, Ana Cristina; Correia, Ricardo JorgeO aparecimento do vírus Covid-19 mudou a forma de pensar e agir dos gestores. A criatividade dos gestores das Estruturas Residenciais Para Idosos (ERPI) foi fundamental para minimizar o impacto do isolamento dos idosos. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a produção científica sobre o papel dos gestores para a literacia da digitalização nos idosos em Estruturas Residenciais Para Idosos (ERPI), assim como analisar o impacto das novas tecnologias no bem-estar dos idosos. Para isso, 149 documentos de 112 fontes distintas foram mapeados através de uma análise bibliométrica utilizando RStudio com o Biblioshiny incorporado. Os principais resultados destacam as tendências de publicação; os documentos mais citados, os autores que mais contribuem, os países e instituições com maior produtividade e as revistas que mais contribuem para o campo da investigação, assim como as tendências de investigação. Os resultados obtidos mostram que ainda há falta de estudos para completar os conhecimentos existentes e assim contribuir para a compreensão dos efeitos do Covid-19 na gestão das ERPI´s e bem-estar dos idosos. No entanto, é um campo de investigação emergente que conecta inovação, gestão, idosos e digital, tornando-o uma área de investigação potencial. Promove um contributo quer ao nível da coordenação de redes de investigação entre países, autores e universidades afiliadas, assim como impulsiona o debate em torno da comunidade científica e comunidade em geral, contribuindo para quer para o desenho de políticas públicas que promovam o bem-estar dos idosos, quer contribuindo com instrumentos para os gestores.
