    Do socially responsible companies foster more engaged employees?
    2025-12-26 - Gomes, Sofia; Lopes, João Miguel; Pacheco, Rossalyn
    Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an innovative approach to creating value for stakeholders by fostering strong relationships. There has been increasing interest in exploring the impact of CSR on employee attitudes and behavior. This paper evaluates the influence of CSR on employee commitment and performance in Portuguese companies through the lens of Social Identity Theory. A questionnaire survey of 278 Portuguese employees was conducted, and the Partial Least Squares method was used for analysis. The findings suggest that CSR practices positively affect both employee commitment and performance. Moreover, employee commitment is positively linked to performance. Therefore, organizations that adopt more CSR practices are likely to see increased employee commitment, which in turn enhances performance. This study contributes to CSR and social identity theory literature and offers practical recommendations for companies, policymakers, and HR professionals, urging organizations to reassess their CSR practices.

    Brand Storytelling and Transmedia: A Systematic Literature Review
    2025-12-20 - Lopes, João Miguel; Saur-Amaral, Irina; Gomes, Sofia
    In the consumer universe, young people from Generation Z are sensitive and open to new immersive experiences related to media technology, creating both challenges and opportunities for brands. Academic scholars and marketing professionals have studying this new media consumer and the way it interacts with the brand universe. Continuing this line of research, this article develops a systematic literature review focused on brand storytelling and transmedia applied in the marketing process, targeting Generation Z consumers. Based on a sample of 125 articles on these topics, the results demonstrate the importance of transmedia storytelling as a strategy that allows brands to expand their narratives across different platforms, creating immersive experiences for Generation Z consumers, who value authenticity and interactivity. The social interaction generated through online storytelling strengthens the emotional connection with the brand and promotes the development of communities, which are essential for co-creating content. Based on these results, an interaction model based on the Transmedia Brand Storytelling strategy is proposed.

    Working conditions and well-being of European employees with chronic illness: The role of perceived organizational support and job insecurity
    2026-07-02 - Gomes, Sofia; Ferreira, Pedro; Lopes, João Miguel; Sousa, Bianca
    Purpose This study examines how working conditions, specifically flextime, work autonomy and work intensity, are associated with perceived organizational support and well-being among European employees with chronic illness, and how job insecurity is associated with the link between perceived organizational support and well-being. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on the Job Demands–Resources framework, the study uses data for 6,961 employees with chronic illness from the 2021 European Working Conditions Survey and applies partial least squares structural equation modeling to estimate direct and indirect statistical associations between the constructs. Findings Flextime and work autonomy are positively associated with well-being, whereas work intensity is negatively associated with well-being. Work autonomy is positively associated with perceived organizational support, while flextime and work intensity are negatively associated with perceived organizational support. Perceived organizational support shows positive indirect associations in the relationships between working conditions and well-being, and higher job insecurity is associated with a weaker positive association between perceived organizational support and well-being. Originality/value The study extends Job Demands–Resources theory to workers with chronic illness in Europe by jointly considering job resources, job demands and organizational resources, and by positioning job insecurity as a hindrance demand associated with the perceived organizational support–well-being link. It offers evidence, based on a large cross-national dataset, that working-time flexibility, autonomy, moderated intensity and credible support are associated with better well-being in this population, while also highlighting that these associations are sensitive to how flexibility is framed and to the broader context of employment security.

    Balancing Legacy and Progress: Environmental and Social Sustainability Practices in European Union Family Firms.
    2026-07-03 - Jayantilal, Shital; Gomes, Sofia; Lopes, João Miguel; Nogueira, Elisabete
    This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of environmental and social sustainability measures by family businesses in the European Union and examine associations between these practices and company-specific characteristics. The research analyzed a sample of 2523 family businesses from the 27 European Union member states. The findings reveal significant variations in the adoption of environmental and social sustainability practices across countries and businesses. Using a multilevel latent class model, four distinct classes of family businesses were identified: advanced implementers, non-implementers, pro-social implementers, and pro-environmental implementers. In addition, three groups of countries with similar distributions of family business profiles were identified. The study underscores the heterogeneity of environmental and social sustainability practices among European family firms, revealing four distinct firm-level classes' adoption profiles and three country-level latent classes. Smaller businesses (micro entities), older firms (founded before 2000), and those with annual turnovers of around one million euros were more frequently associated with higher levels of adoption of social and environmental sustainability measures. By constructing multilevel models, the research highlights heterogeneity in the adoption patterns of sustainability practices within and between countries without attributing these differences to specific national or institutional factors. The conclusions further emphasize that EU family businesses exhibit heterogeneous patterns of environmental and social practices, with adoption varying across firm-level and country-level profiles and no consistent sequences in practice implementation; social measures (e.g., employee conditions) are more prevalent than environmental ones. The observed patterns are discussed in relation to firm characteristics and resource availability, while recognizing that explanatory mechanisms are not directly tested in this study. These findings contribute to advancing knowledge on family businesses' roles in fostering environmental and social sustainability in the European context by providing an exploratory, descriptive, and multilevel mapping of sustainability practice profiles. Socioemotional wealth, stakeholder theory, and dynamic capabilities are used as interpretive lenses to discuss the findings rather than as empirically tested mechanisms, given the cross-sectional and observational nature of the data. The study also offers practical implications, suggesting that policy and managerial approaches may benefit from considering cross-country and firm-level heterogeneity when promoting sustainability adoption.
