Design/methodology/approach: Primary data was collected through questionnaires and interviews. The primary quantitative data were analyzed using Paraconsistent Logic and presented with descriptive statistics. Findings: It was found that 87% of the sample did not go through any steps of the risk management process. For those that did, the steps were essentially intuitive and informal. Further, a distortion was observed on behalf of the managers regarding the understanding of what risk management is, what it is helpful for, and the difference between their projects and the business itself. Practical implications: Although not generalizable, the research results show a high appetite for risk on the part of contractors but a low willingness to absorb its effects. Originality/value: Studies that apply paraconsistent logic to understand builders' perceptions of the importance of risk management are scarce in the literature. Also, there is little literature about the management aspects of this industry.","PeriodicalId":197586,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Administração da UFSM","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135982390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Absorptive capacity: towards individual or organizational themes","authors":"Alessandra Yula Tutida, C. Rossetto, R. C. D. Santos","doi":"10.5902/1983465970601","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5902/1983465970601","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: This study evaluates the relationship between Individual Absorptive Capacity, Social Integration Mechanisms and Organizational Absorptive Capacity. Using an integrated cognitive learning perspective, this study provides empirical evidence about the conceptual absorptive capacity (ACAP) model through examining the full process systematically. Two groups of moderating variables were studied—namely, social integration and appropriability—to examine their impact on the process. \u0000Design/methodology/approach: This study employed a longitudinal study on metal mechanic companies in Brasil by using 427 survey responses and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Data analysis was  performed considering: i) Cronbach's alpha; ii) Composite Reliability; iii) Average Variance Extracted (AVE); iv) Fornell and Larcker criteria; v) Evaluation of Pearson Coefficients of Determination (R2); vi) Effect Size (f2) or Indicator of Cohen; vii) Predictive Validity (Q2); and viii) Student's t-test. Following the estimation of the structural model (path coefficients) using the Partial Least Squares method via SmartPLS software version 3.2.8. The absorptive capacity process was examined through six consecutive models and analyzed using hierarchical linear modelling. \u0000Findings: The study confirms that social integration mechanisms are required from organizations to create a positive environment for individuals to develop knowledge in the organizational and individual absorptive capacity levels. Social integration mechanisms can have a direct or moderator effect on the dimensions of the ACAP. The complete cycle of absorptive capacity is self-reliant, dynamic, and complex; it involves acquiring, assimilating, transforming, and exploiting variables from the individual to the team level and vice versa. The results align with the micro-foundations perspective because it assumes that absorptive capacity is associated with the knowledge and cognitions of individuals. \u0000Originality/value: This study provides vital support to the learning theory as well as to the organization-learning concept. This study also reveals empirical evidence that the social integration mechanisms play a key role in facilitating both individual and organizational knowledge transfer process. The findings of this study provide functional suggestions and highlight areas for future research.","PeriodicalId":197586,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Administração da UFSM","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127454203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When building their mental models, the entrepreneur uses both individual and collective capacities, which, in turn, mediate the performance of an organization, configuring themselves in a multilevel perspective. This article aims to analyze the effect of entrepreneurs' mental models on absorptive capacity in incubated companies.\u0000Design/methodology/approach: This article is based on descriptive research with a quantitative approach to the data. A closed questionnaire was applied to 132 incubated companies belonging to the Consortium of Community Universities of Rio Grande do Sul (Consórcio de Universidades Comunitárias do Rio Grande do Sul - Comung) and Santa Catarina Association of Educational Foundations (Associação Catarinense das Fundações Educacionais - Acafe). The statistical treatment used to analyze the relationships investigated in this research comprised descriptive statistical analysis and Modeling by Structural Equations (SEM), with the help of SPSS® version 2.2 and SmartPLS® version 3.2.8 software.\u0000Findings: The results showed a positive relationship between the cognitive variables of the entrepreneurs' mental models in the organizational Absorptive Capacity (ACAP). It is possible to infer that these are significant predictors of the development of organizational ACAP in the companies that make up this sample. This study presents a set of mental models' cognitive variables related to organizational ACAP.\u0000Originality/value: We suggest a qualitative approach that can deepen the observations regarding the relationships investigated in this study. Such an approach would help understand how the relationship between the cognitive variables of the mental models of entrepreneurs in organizational ACAP occurs.","PeriodicalId":197586,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Administração da UFSM","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123634895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
