  • Internal social responsibility as a tool to prevent absenteeism and turnover rates
    Publication . Afonso, Liliana; Ferreira-Oliveira, Ana Teresa; Correia, Ricardo Jorge; Campos, Susana
    In 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).

  • Willingness to pay for ecolabel in food products: mapping publications over the past twenty years
    Publication . Campos, Susana; Borges, Eduardo; Correia, Ricardo Jorge; Ferreira-Oliveira, Ana Teresa; Rodrigues, Ana Sofia; Teixeira, Mário Sérgio
    Ecolabels can be a tool to promote and support more sustainable products, providing information that allows consumers to select products with better environmental performance. Ecolabels can help create ecological awareness around sustainable consumption, promote environmentally friendly attitudes, and contribute to responsible consumption habits. This article reviews the lit-erature on willingness to pay for ecolabels on food products and identifies four main knowledge gaps: (1) the effect of variables that signal quality, safety, or health benefits on willingness to pay for ecolabels; (2) the impact of ecolabels on the environment from a regulatory point of view; (3) the lack of a measurement instrument that serves general application with various stakeholders; and (4) how ecolabels contribute to green innovation. Our re-sults contribute to the literature and define and implement more efficient and effective public policies that facilitate communication between producers and consumers. Based on 31 articles selected and analyzed in a systematic literature review, we found that the variables related to consumers' willing-ness to pay vary according to the level of education, income, age, marital sta-tus, family size, attitude, previous experience and knowledge, among others. We conclude that consumers are willing to pay more for environmentally sustainable products and that the ecolabel is particularly important in their choice.
