Resumo: Introduction: Effective knowledge sharing by physicians is integral to patient education and health literacy, particularly in the management of chronic diseases. Drawing on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study examines how physicians’ attitudes, perceived norms, and perceived behavioral control shape their knowledge-sharing intentions and behaviors, and how these behaviors are associated with patient health literacy within public hospital settings in China. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 607 physicians from 39 public hospitals across 6 provinces in China was conducted between March and April 2024. Measures included attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, behavioral intention, knowledge-sharing behavior, perceived patient health literacy, and job effort. Structural equation modeling was used to test hypothesized relationships. Results: Attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control were positively associated with physicians’ intentions to share knowledge. Behavioral intention mediated the relationship between perceived behavioral control and actual knowledge-sharing behavior. Actual knowledge-sharing behavior was positively associated with perceived patient health literacy. Importantly, job effort moderated this relationship: high levels of job effort attenuated the positive association between knowledge-sharing behavior and patient health literacy. Conclusions: Findings underscore the organizational relevance of fostering supportive practice environments that strengthen physicians’ motivation and capacity to share knowledge. Reducing excessive job effort may enhance the impact of knowledge-sharing behaviors on patient health literacy, with implications for hospital management, workforce policy, and chronic disease care delivery.

Resumo: Overtourism has become a pressing challenge for urban destinations, generating economic, environmental, and psychological impacts on local communities. The city must be understood simultaneously as a lived residential environment and as a tourism destination shaped by housing, mobility, and urban planning structures, which explains why overtourism affects residents’ well-being and positions them as central actors in destination governance. Yet the governance dimension of overtourism – and its role in shaping resident stress – remains underexplored. This study analyses how governance effectiveness, sustainability policies, and tourist behaviour interact to influence residents’ stress in Málaga, an overtourism hotspot. Using data from 450 residents, we apply Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) and Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to capture both linear effects and configurational pathways. The study frames the urban destination as a planning unit, linking overtourism to spatial regulation, settlement function, and destination governance terminology.Findings show that governance failures exacerbate psychological distress, while effective sustainability policies mitigate negative effects. Stress emerges from interdependencies among governance, perceived benefits, and sustainability evaluations. The results provide actionable insights for policymakers, highlighting the need for adaptive, resident-centred governance to balance tourism growth with urban well-being.

Direct and indirect links to financial and ESG performance Autoria: Lopes, A. I. Resumo: Corporate boards increasingly delegate sustainability oversight to dedicated CSR committees, yet evidence on whether these committees improve corporate performance remains mixed. This study argues that part of this inconsistency arises because prior research often emphasizes overall associations between CSR committees and performance without distinguishing between direct links and indirect benefits that operate through stakeholder-oriented CSR strategy and reporting practices. Using an unbalanced panel of 7667 firm-year observations from 1621 listed firms across 36 countries over 2010–2021, this study tests a mediation framework in which these practices transmit the relationship between CSR committee presence and both financial and nonfinancial outcomes. Results reveal a clear tension. Controlling for the mediator, CSR committee is directly associated with lower financial performance but higher ESG performance. At the same time, CSR committee presence is strongly associated with stronger stakeholder-oriented CSR strategy and reporting practices, which are positively related to both financial and ESG outcomes, generating a positive indirect effect that exceeds the direct effect in magnitude. These inferences are corroborated using instrumental-variables estimation and a simultaneous-equations approach to mitigate endogeneity concerns. Overall, the findings suggest that CSR committees “pay off” primarily through the stakeholder-oriented practices they help institutionalize, rather than through their mere existence.

M.; Ferreira, P.; Pereira, N.; Oliveira, S.; Paulino, P.; Rosa, H.; Ribeiro, R.; Coheur, L.; Carvalho, J. P.; Trancoso, I. Resumo: Different forms of verbal aggression are often present in cyberbullying, which may impair executive function skills that enable the regulation of emotions and behavior. Emotion and behavioral regulation has been associated with better social adjustment and more positive interactions between peers. This study aimed to understand if fostering emotion and behav- ioral regulation strategies could decrease aggressive communication. A quasi-experimental longitudinal design, based on a Twitter client mobile application, with pre-posttest measures was used. For the application, we explored different machine learning approaches, including computational intelligence methods. Multilevel linear modeling and frequency analyses were performed. A convenience sample of 218 adolescents (Mage = 14.67, SD = 0.84, 53% female) participated in the study. Results suggest that a Twitter client mobile application intervention based on emotion and behavioral regulation strategies may help decrease adolescents’ aggressive communication. Moreover, female and male participants who used the digital application tended to present distinct trajectories over time with regard to searching for information concerning prosocial behavior. These findings suggest that digital tools resorting to emotion and behavioral regulation strategies may be effective in reducing an aggressive communication style amongst adolescents, and consequently, promote resource seeking to engage in prosociality. These results can be significant for the design of intervention programs against cyberbullying. Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10071/37216 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z
