Just when it seemed that the most difficult moments of the last great recession were behind us, 2020’s COVID-19 shakes up a globalized system once again. Phenomena such as large-scale cyber-attacks, financial crises, climate change or pandemics, which are emerging at an ever-increasing speed, have become endemic systemic risks. The interconnectedness even makes the transformation of the current development model seem inescapable. The renewed commons paradigm, made up of (self) transformative cooperative initiatives, and its crystallization in B corporations which go beyond the objective of generating economic profits, seeking to maximize their positive impact through innovative governance and leadership, seem to make possible greater environmental and social sustainability, and greater human justice, solidarity and autonomy. Through a bibliographic review to identify the unique characteristics of B-corporation leaders and their open and cooperative modes of governance, this article ...

Purpose The pandemic has enhanced the global phenomenon of disinformation. This paper aims to study the false news concerning COVID-19, spread through social media in Spain, by using the LatamChequea database for a duration from 01/22/2020, when the first false information has been detected, up to 03/09/2021. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative analysis has been conducted with regard to the correlation between fake news stories and the pandemic state, the motive to share them, their dissemination in other countries and the effectiveness of fact checking. This study is complemented by a qualitative method: a focus group conducted with representatives of different groups within the society. Findings Fake news has been primarily disseminated through several social networks at the same time, with two peaks taking place in over a half of the said false stories. The first took place from March to April of 2020 during complete lockdown, and we were informed of prevention measures, t...

A number of studies have expressed that gender might be a source of difference and bias in peer assessment activities. However, evidence supporting this remains mixed and scant. The present study examined gender difference and accuracy bias between men and women assessors’ peer scoring of same-sex or opposite-sex writing samples using a quasi-experimental approach in which we implemented peer assessment training to explore if it could minimise gender difference and bias. Additionally, we also explored the effects on participants’ perceptions of trust and comfort in giving peer scores. A total of 145 (men = 25) psychology students enrolled in four separate courses participated in this study. Two of the classes received peer assessment training, while the other two only received task instructions. Participants were divided into eight scoring subgroups where they peer scored three writing samples of varying quality (poor, average and excellent) using a scoring rubric in Eduflow. We found that, regardless of their training condition, men and women assessors did not differ in their peer scores of men and women peers. Only untrained men assessors showed less trust in their abilities and discomfort when peer scoring women assessees’ writing samples.

Las variaciones acaecidas en la última década del siglo anterior han condicionado la cadena de mando, comunicación y relación del líder con sus equipos LIDERAZGO en las FAS E L siglo XX presentó sus credenciales de cambio desde, prácticamente, su inicio. Diferentes momentos y etapas de crecimiento y empobrecimiento económicos, proble-mas no resueltos entre naciones o regímenes intoleran-tes, entre otros, resultaron ser la causa o provocaron conflictos bélicos que afectaron, especialmente, al continente europeo. Finali-zada la segunda contienda, se dibujó una senda de alza y bienestar en los niveles de vida de muchos ciudadanos. Estados Unidos lideró la recuperación y se puso al frente del desarrollo tecnológico. Sus empresas modelaron un sistema de gestión centrado en los resulta-dos y, por ende, muy competitivo. Europa se rehízo de sus cenizas y decidió, tras siglos de enfrentamiento, agruparse en torno a una vi-sión, objetivos y valores comunes. El desconocido, hasta esa fecha, estándar de vida alcanzado, dotó a las sociedades más avanzadas de recursos en materia educativa, sanitaria, de transporte y comuni-caciones, de habitabilidad, de equipamientos deportivos y de ocio. La última parte del siglo aportó un valor añadido soñado por escri-tores o relatores del futuro: la posibilidad de comunicarse rápidamente y a mayor velocidad, tanto a nivel de audio como de video. Además, en el primer quinquenio del siglo entrante se añadió el potencial de relacionarse unos con otros en redes que permitían contacto, gene-rar networking, compartir datos e información. Las organizaciones transformaron su manera de entrar en contacto unos con otros, sea la propia plantilla, clientes, proveedores, etcétera. El inventario de ins-trumentos y métodos para comunicarse creció de manera inusitada. Las relaciones humanas sufrieron un impacto ignoto: las personas empezaron a trasladarse información o emociones en segundos, a golpe de clic. La pluma estilográfica o el más funcional bolígrafo, el folio, la carta y el sello nos transportaban a un pasado que parecía lejano. Incluso enviar un fax acabó resultando incómodo. La ciencia dedicada a bucear en los principios que regían en la dirección de empresas tomó carta de naturaleza en el citado siglo pasado: ¿Ciencia o Arte? ¿Norma o Habilidad? El management generó conclusiones sobre los medios más efectivos para gestionar recursos económicos, productivos y de tiempo. Las em-presas más eficientes alcanzaron un óptimo equilibrio entre los tres recursos. La investigación sobre los seres humanos alimentó los sistemas de gestión. Sin personas no existen las empresas. De su trabajo, esfuerzo, implicación y compromiso depende el rendimiento final. El equilibrio entre capital, medios materiales y tiempo no es posible lograrlo sin el concurso de las personas. Son juez y parte. Pero parte fundamental porque gracias a su co-nocimiento, experiencia y colaboración se consiguen resultados excelentes. Las relaciones entre personas en las organizaciones se basan en un continuo flujo de comunicación y colaboración con jefes, iguales o subordinados. Las Fuerzas Armadas son instituciones centenarias en unos pocos países. España se cuenta entre ellos, y en su currículum presenta agrupaciones que son las más antiguas del mundo en su ámbito. Las Fuerzas Armadas españolas atesoran una larga experiencia y una tradición transmitida, tanto entre unidades como entre personas y entre familias. Como organización también han tenido que asumir estos drásticos cambios. Y como grupo huma-no, su estructura de liderazgo incorpora y asume los avances nor-mativos, comportamentales y sociales. El liderazgo supone un desafío constante. Supone una prue-ba de fuego frente al proceso decisor del líder. El liderazgo se vertebra en los Ejércitos a partir de una triple fórmula: en el plano superior, el liderazgo estratégico, ligado a la visión, a la definición de políticas, a la determinación de fórmulas para la movilización de recursos. Por debajo, el liderazgo operativo, se ejerce de mane-ra más indirecta y vela por el cumplimiento de directivas e indica-ciones, más allá del cumplimiento de la misión, propia del liderazgo táctico. En un primer plano, el liderazgo táctico se enmarca en la

El objetivo principal de la investigación ha sido describir la inteligencia emocional y la gestión emocional de una muestra de alumnado que cursaba en modalidad híbrida, la docencia en tiempos de la COVID 19. Para ello, se ha analizado una muestra de 163 estudiantes que cursan sus estudios en la Universidad de Deusto en modalidad híbrida (presencial y remoto), durante el primer cuatrimestre del curso 2020-21. Para el desarrollo de la investigación se utilizó el Cuestionario de Inteligencia Emocional Rasgo (versión corta) TEIQue-SF [Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form], validado, traducido y adaptado a diferentes idiomas (Cooper y Petrides, 2010; Petrides, 2009). Se recogieron también variables sociodemográficas y ambientales mediante un cuestionario ad hoc. Los resultados apuntan hacia la necesidad de metodologías activas en la docencia en remoto que promuevan las relaciones interpersonales y la motivación en el alumnado. Queda patente la relación entre la gestión emocional y el aprendizaje, y la vivencia del alumnado en cuanto al aburrimiento y desconexión en la docencia en remoto y el anhelo de contacto entre los/as estudiantes, y con el profesorado que les propicie motivación y cree un espacio de relación cercano. Las relaciones interpersonales se ven afectadas, se echan de menos, sobre todo la falta de contacto.

This paper analyzes the leadership learning model used by Spanish military commanders from the lifelong learning methodology. The lifelong learning approach consists of three main perspectives: a personal and professional context and how to achieve self-motivation and remain over time; the formal and informal learning sources, and how all this occurs throughout the individual life. Leadership is a fundamental military trait and should be treated as an ongoing process. This study examines how influences the lifelong learning of the Spanish military leaders from the Army, Navy, and Air Force in their leadership style. The methodology resource used is an online Delphi technique through in-depth interviews as well as the Qualitative Data Analysis & Research Software Atlas.it. This research shows that from a lifelong learning perspective, military leadership is built continuously throughout life and is supported by more informal than formal learning systems. The key findings of this rese...

Purpose-The pandemic has enhanced the global phenomenon of disinformation. This paper aims to study the false news concerning COVID-19, spread through social media in Spain, by using the LatamChequea database for a duration from 01/22/2020, when the first false information has been detected, up to 03/09/2021. Design/methodology/approach-A quantitative analysis has been conducted with regard to the correlation between fake news stories and the pandemic state, the motive to share them, their dissemination in other countries and the effectiveness of fact checking. This study is complemented by a qualitative method: a focus group conducted with representatives of different groups within the society. Findings-Fake news has been primarily disseminated through several social networks at the same time, with two peaks taking place in over a half of the said false stories. The first took place from March to April of 2020 during complete lockdown, and we were informed of prevention measures, the country's situation and the origin of the virus, whereas the second was related to news revolving around the coming vaccines, which occurred between October and November. The audience tends to neither cross-check the information received nor report fake news to competent authorities, and fact-checking methods fail to stop their spread. Further awareness and digital literacy campaigns are thus required in addition to more involvement from governments and technological platforms. Research limitations/implications-The main limitation of the research is the fact that it was only possible to conduct a focus group of five individuals who do not belong to generation Z due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, although a clear contribution to the analysis of the impact of fake news on social networks during the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain can be seen from the privileged experiences in each of the fields of work that were identified. In this sense, the results of the study are not generalizable to a larger population. On the other hand, and with a view to future research, it would be advisable to carry out a more specific study of how fake news affects generation Z. Originality/value-This research is original in nature, and the findings of this study are valuable for business practitioners and scholars, brand marketers, social media platform owners, opinion leaders and policymakers.

Se presentan los resultados de dos análisis factoriales confirmatorios de una investigación sobre el impacto de los sistemas de gestión de calidad en el funcionamiento de los centros educativos (aplicación del modelo EFQM o el modelo PCI). Se intenta probar la estructura de las dimensiones definidas teóricamente. En el primer análisis se comprueban los procesos de política en sus dimensiones de Comunicación, Planificación y Reconocimiento, y el segundo se centra en otros tres factores de procesos en el centro como son el clima, el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje y las relaciones con el entorno. La investigación se lleva a cabo en una muestra de 14 centros educativos de enseñanza básica o secundaria en la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco.

If the workplace environment is good, the health and well-being of employees will be good too. This research aims to distinguish whether there are differences when it comes to being directed by a man or a woman and whether this affects employees. An ad hoc questionnaire was applied, collecting personal information and including the MLQ-6 S. It was sent by mail and answered by 549 employees of 16 companies in the Basque Country, Spain. A total of 277 (50.5%) men and 272 (49.5%) women participated, among whom there were 63 managers. The methodology shows a double perspective of how employees understand and perceive the differences between male and female business leaders and how managers see themselves exercising this leadership. No significant differences have been perceived. Both men and women believe they make their employees feel good about exercising leadership (M = 42.11%, W = 48.00%) quite often. Employed women consider it more challenging to become leaders and reconcile their ...

The digital transformation means that companies are redefining the process of talent management. Previous models involved functions, practices and processes that ensured a correct flow of employees towards key positions or a generic talent management view. The digital breakthrough, together with the growing panorama of competition for talent in the market, requires a different focus to enable well-grounded and agile decision-making processes in a sustainable world. The current research considers the functions that applied research has established as the limits of talent management, and that are the key topics in an employee life cycle, namely, talent attraction and acquisition, training, evaluation, and development. In addition, new tools such as employee advocacy and/or brand ambassadors have been added towards to draw conclusions about the future trends of talent management. This article examines the employee life cycle of talent attraction, and acquisition, training, evaluation, ...

This study explores the effects of the shift to emergency remote teaching (ERT) on teachers' levels of well-being, emotions, and motivation. A total of 936 Spanish teachers participated in this nationwide survey from all educational levels, thus allowing comparison among levels, which is a novelty and strength of our study. Four aspects were explored: (1) instructional adaptation to ERT; (2) well-being changes and the main challenges in this regard; (3) changes in emotions; and (4) changes in motivation and the main factors. Importantly, we explored a number of teacher characteristics (e.g., gender, age) for the three last aspects. Our results show that teachers felt the impact of ERT on their well-being, emotions, and motivation. Additionally, female teachers, teachers with students of low socioeconomic status (SES), in public schools, and primary and secondary teachers were the most affected groups. This indicates that the impact of ERT differed and some populations of teachers are more at risk of suffering burnout because of ERT.

La efectividad de los equipos directivos en garantizar el aprendizaje en los centros educativos es un aspecto crucial para el éxito académico de los estudiantes, (UNICEF, 2021). Un liderazgo escolar se caracteriza por establecer una visión clara y compartida para el centro educativo (Bolívar, 2015; Villa Sánchez, 2015), al ser efectivo puede tener un impacto significativo en la calidad del aprendizaje y el rendimiento académico de los alumnos (Leithwood et al., 2004). La efectividad de los equipos directivos en garantizar el aprendizaje en un centro educativo es una pieza clave en el panorama educativo, pero debe considerarse en conjunto con otros elementos que influyen en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje (Leithwood & Jantzi, 2005; Sarasola Bonetti et al., 2016; Bolívar, 2019;).
