- PublicationEffectuation and strategic evolution for sustainable longevity: The case of a 19th-generation family firm(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2024)
; ;Welsh, DiannePurpose: This article explains the causal mechanism supporting sustainable longevity by analysing the last three generations of one of the oldest family firms in Latin America. Design/methodology/approach: An explanatory single-case qualitative research based on critical realism explores why and how this family firm has been able to maintain its multigenerational longevity. Findings: Los Lingues's evolutionary strategy, driven by transgenerational entrepreneurship under effectuation, has supported this family firm's sustainable longevity. Its effectual logic emerged mainly from the richness of the firm's historical resources embedded in its identity, knowledge and social capital and priority to preserve socioemotional wealth. Originality/value: This study integrates socioemotional wealth and effectuation theory to explain a family firm's ability to survive through generations and sustain longevity. The study demonstrates the relevance of effectual logic in the entrepreneurial dynamics of a multigenerational family firm. Effectual logic drives the firm evolution and adaptation for sustainable longevity. - PublicationHow to carry out organisational debriefing for team learning(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2023)
; ;Yániz-Alvarez-de-Eulate, ConcepciónVillardón-Gallego, LourdesPurpose: The debriefing is a procedure based on intra-team feedback, which has frequently been applied in university formation in health but has been less used in business. The aim of this research is to analyse best practices in the actual implementation of debriefing in organisations, based on criteria the guidelines for carrying out each stage established in the procedure. Design/methodology/approach: To achieve these goals, working teams from different organisations carried out 19 group-debriefing sessions on an authentic work problem. These sessions were observed and analysed following a qualitative approach.FindingsAfter observing a debriefing session in 19 organisations, four categories related to its implementation have been identified: Self-analysis, information, planning and orientation of the development of the team. Research limitations/implications: It is important to mention some limitations to this work. The major limitation was the lack of published literature related to the debriefing in the area of organisational management. The qualitative and exploratory nature of the study limits the generalisation of the results. Practical implicationsThe research has practical implications as the characterisation and description of each phase favours the transfer to implement the debriefing technique adequately in different types of organisations. Social implicationsIt has been observed that all forms of debriefing have a common purpose in learning and, team and employee development, due to the powerful transferability and usefulness of debriefing in different contexts. Therefore, knowing the correct use of debriefing is a breakthrough in this area. In addition, including this type of practice will not just facilitate a better performance, it will also help teams to learn to work in a team from their own experiences. Originality/value: It has been characterised by the process of debriefing from the correct implementation of each phase through the analysis of the narratives that arise in the debriefing sessions carried out. - PublicationTeamwork competence and collaborative learning in entrepreneurship training(Inderscience Enterprises, 2023)
; ;Yaniz-Alvarez de Eulate, ConcepciónJara, MauricioGiven the dynamics of the business environment, training in teamwork competence is becoming increasingly important vis-à-vis improving entrepreneurship and innovation development processes in a multidisciplinary context. In this paper, we estimate differences in differences (DID) regressions to analyse the effect of cooperative learning on teamwork competence for a sample of individuals whose training is geared towards acquiring key competences such as entrepreneurship and innovation. A quasi-experimental design is used with a treatment and a control group of two cohorts of individuals. Our results show a significant effect of cooperative learning on collective efficacy, planning, establishment of objectives, problem solving and conflict management. We contribute to student training in a competence that is highly valued in the professional sphere and to current understanding of what effect cooperative learning has from its different components in teamwork training. - PublicationPost-disaster recovery for family firms: The role of owner motivations, firm resources, and dynamic capabilitiesNatural disasters (e.g., earthquakes and pandemics) negatively affect firms and their stakeholders. These disasters disrupt the operations of firms and lives of people by generating a shock in the system. Small firms are especially vulnerable to the shocks and disturbances resulting from these disasters. Since small firms, especially family firms, are key economic contributors and agents of recovery in any community, understanding their post-disaster recovery processes is critical. Therefore, this study examines the post-disaster recovery processes of small family firms. We utilize a grounded theory approach to analyze and propose that resources and socioemotional wealth priorities influence the post-disaster recovery of small family firms. Utilizing the 8.8 Richter scale earthquake in Chile in 2010 as a natural disaster, we examine the eight-year lagged data of 20 small family firms with disrupted operations. Our findings have important implications for small firms experiencing the negative consequences of disruptions, including those experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic-induced disruption.
- PublicationStress and turnover intentions within healthcare teams: The mediating role of psychological safety, and the moderating effect of COVID-19 worry and supervisor supportEmployees at healthcare organizations are experiencing more stress than ever given the current COVID-19 pandemic. Different types of stress are affecting diverse organizational outcomes, including the employees’ voluntary turnover. This is the case of cognitive stress, a type of stress that affects how individuals process information, which can influence employees’ turnover intentions. In this study, we look at the mechanisms that can reduce the adverse effects of cognitive stress on turnover intentions, particularly the role of employees’ perceived psychological safety (i.e., how safe they perceive the interactions with their colleagues are). We hypothesize that psychological safety mediates the relationship between cognitive stress and turnover intentions, and COVID-19 worry and supervisor support moderate the relationship between cognitive stress and psychological safety. To test our hypothesis, we invited two public health care organizations in Chile to join this study. In total, we obtained a sample of 146 employees in 21 different teams. Using a multilevel model, we found that psychological safety prevents the harmful effects of cognitive stress on employees’ turnover intentions. In addition, while COVID-19 worry can worsen the relationship between cognitive stress and psychological safety, supervisor support only directly affects psychological safety. This study contributes to expanding the stress and psychological safety literature and informs practitioners in healthcare organizations about how to deal with cognitive stress in the “new normality” that the pandemic has brought.
- PublicationTeamwork competency scale (TCS) from the individual perspective in university students(Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2022)
; ;Alonso Dos Santos, ManuelYániz-Álvarez-de-Eulate, ConcepciónThe main purpose of this study was to design and validate a scale to assess the teamwork competency of undergraduate students (TCS, Teamwork Competency Scale). The research instrument designed and subjected to validation has nine specific dimensions: Collective effectiveness, learning orientation, group goal setting, planning and coordination, communication, conflict management, problem solving, performance monitoring and supportive behaviour. The instrument was validated using a sample of 802 first-year students at a university in Chile. The method of partial least squares (PLS) was used within a structural equation modelling (SEM) framework for statistical analysis. The results show that the TCS is a valid and reliable research instrument for the assessment of teamwork competency in undergraduate students. - PublicationDesarrollo de la actitud emprendedora: Estudio cualitativo de un modelo de formación universitaria(Revista Española de Orientación y Psicopedagogía, 2021)
; ; Yániz-Álvarez-De-Eulate, ConcepciónDesarrollar la actitud emprendedora, componente esencial de la competencia para innovar y emprender, es un objetivo importante de la orientación para el desarrollo profesional propio de la formación universitaria, y una contribución para impulsar el desarrollo económico y social. En esta investigación se estudian las variables principales para la formación de dicha actitud, utilizando un estudio exploratorio basado en un caso único de implementación de un programa universitario de formación de competencias en innovación y emprendimiento llevado a cabo con estudiantes de ingeniería, salud, ciencias sociales, ciencias y economía. Se analiza información proveniente de profesorado, coordinación del programa y estudiantes obtenida con entrevistas, cuestionarios y grupos focales, siguiendo un proceso inductivo-deductivo con ayuda del software MAXQDA12. Este trabajo contribuye al conocimiento del tema: (1) proponiendo la creación de un ecosistema de aprendizaje como el elemento más relevante en la formación de la actitud emprendedora, (2) identificando los elementos que componen dicho ecosistema (programa formativo, estudiantes y ecosistema de emprendimiento regional) y cómo interactúan, y (3) destacando el carácter sistémico del proceso que forma la actitud emprendedora. Como conclusión se observa que la implementación de este programa impulsa la orientación para el desarrollo profesional dentro de la universidad, y de esta con el entorno público y privado que dan forma a un ecosistema de emprendimiento, lo que contribuye con la comprensión del papel que pueden jugar las universidades en la orientación para el desarrollo profesional mediante procesos formativos en emprendimiento y el fortalecimiento de ecosistemas de emprendimiento regional. - PublicationTowards a cooperative learning environment in universities through in-service training(MDPI, 2021)
; ;Alonso Dos Santos, Manuel ;Yániz-Álvarez-de-Eulate, ConcepciónVillardón-Gallego, LourdesThe goal of this study is to determine the extent to which faculty training in cooperative learning (CL) transfers to university teaching, according to students’ opinions. The design was quasi-experimental, with a control group and an intervention group. During two years, 346 first-year university Business School students and 12 university teachers of four disciplines (Business and Economy, Communication, Mathematics and Knowledge Integration) took part in the study. The results show that, after specific training in CL methodology, teachers showed significant improvement in the application of several CL dimensions: social skills, evaluation, reflection, interdependence, interaction and tutoring. In addition, a multivariate analysis of variance was calculated to examine the possible interaction effect of teacher training and disciplines on CL application. The results indicate that training based on participants’ needs and context fosters transference to university teaching. Teachers from different disciplines respond differently when applying CL to the classroom after training, especially in evaluation, heterogeneity, and tutoring. The results highlight the importance of a quality faculty professional development program. - PublicationVariables asociadas al rendimiento exitoso de los equipos de trabajo del curso Gestión de Equipos.

; Yániz-Álvarez-de-Eulate, ConcepciónEn esta investigación caracterizamos las variables asociadas con la efectividad de los equipos de trabajo de una muestra de estudiantes universitarios chilenos. Como estrategia metodológica se utilizó un estudio cualitativo basado en el análisis de las variables asociadas al modelo de rendimiento “entrada-proceso-salida” en contextos del desarrollo de nuevos productos, para el cual se entrevistaron a equipos de estudiantes. Los resultados del análisis indican que aspectos tales como la composición del equipo, el liderazgo especialmente compartido, la claridad de objetivos, entre otros, afectan la eficacia y la eficiencia del trabajo en equipo como también los aprendizajes obtenidos tanto a nivel individual como en equipo. - PublicationThe influence of emotion in the management of amateur football organizations(Frontiers in psychology, 2020)
; ; ;Prado Gasco, Vicente JavierAlguacil Jiménez, MarioThis article is oriented to the analysis of organizational and emotional variables in amateur sporting organizations. The general objective is to analyze the influence of organizational variables such as service quality, transactional leadership, and transformational leadership and emotional variables such as affective commitment, emotional attachment investment, and emotional attachment dividend to predict the credibility that members of amateur sporting organizations perceive, as well as their degree of identification and loyalty. The opinions of 203 members of Chilean amateur football teams [169 men and 34 women, with ages between 18 and 68 years (mean = 32.75 years, DT = 9.92)] have been analyzed through a self-completed questionnaire. To reach the objectives, two types of differential but complementary analyses, in the form of hierarchical regression models (from hereon, HRMs) and qualitative comparative analysis (from hereon, QCA), were performed. The results obtained suggest that the organizational variables are better predictors than the emotional variables in all of the cases. In the same way, the inclusion of the emotional variables improves the predictive capacity of the proposed models to explain identification and loyalty, but not in the case of credibility. In general, the variables considered seem to explain 37% of the credibility, 56% of loyalty, and 65% of identification. On the other hand, considering the results of the QCA, no variable turned out to be necessary. However, different combinations of variables (conditions) were observed that were able to explain between 47 and 91% of the cases of the variables analyzed. In general, based on these results, it was observed that the emotional variables were important in interaction with other organizational ones since they are present in the three combinations that most explain identification and loyalty and are also present in the three combinations that most explain credibility. This study contributes to the literature by supporting the importance of managing emotions in order for sporting organizations to be more successful.
