The case of physiotherapy professionals. Authors: Jacobshon, Lia; Dutschke, Georg; Combadão, Jaime; Gomes, Jorge Caiado Abstract: In recent years research on organizational happiness has been increasing but instruments to measure happiness at work, considering organizational factors, are scarce. This study aims to validate a scale to measure organizational happiness among physiotherapists and its relationship with patient satisfaction. For that we will implement an Organizational Happiness Scale to physiotherapists and the Physical Therapy Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire to their patients. At the end two major outcomes will be achievable: (i) the study of validation and reliability of a happiness organizational scale to be used among physiotherapist and, (ii) to understand if happiest physiotherapists have more satisfied patients. Previous research demonstrates the positive impact of satisfaction on patient rehabilitation. This study will provide knew knowledge on the contribution of a happy physiotherapist professional for that. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10884/1459 Title: Teenagers’ Socio and Cultural Values: Relation with Entrepreneurship Authors: Dutschke, Georg; Garcia, Julio del Junco; Espansandín-Bustelo, Francisco; Dutschke, Mariana; Florencio, Beatriz Palacios Abstract: Investigations related to national culture and young are becoming more important (Brown et al., 2002; Larson, 2011).

Authors: Brás-dos-Santos, José Manuel; Dutschke, Georg Abstract: El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en analizar la variable latente “felicidad organizacional” en el caso de los trabajadores de ambos géneros y con un mínimo de experiencia profesional de dos años en la misma organización. Para la aplicación del modelo de Rasch, se ha partido de una muestra aleatoria constituida por 439 profesionales y sacada de una base de datos con más de 1500 cuestionarios rellenados por profesionales que trabajan en distintas empresas u organizaciones portuguesas. La medición y ordenación de los ítems/profesionales tiene su base en la Escala de Felicidad Organizacional, compuesta por 32 ítems y validada para el entorno cultural portugués. Los resultados obtenidos permiten destacar, por una parte, que se hay diferencias entre los dos géneros en cuatro de los ítems de la escala y que esas diferencias son concordantes con problemas de género y de trabajo existentes en Portugal. Por otra parte, los resultados aportan información útil sobre los ítems que merecen más atención de los directivos y organizaciones que deseen mejorar la felicidad organizacional de los profesionales que trabajan en la organización. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z
