    Does the relationship between sustainable human resource management and organizational identification vary by culture? Evidence from 35 countries based on GLOBE framework
    2025-05-29 - Neto, Joana Sequeira
    The article discusses the relationships between sustainable HRM and organizational identification, conceptualized at the individual level, and the moderating role of cultural dimensions conceptualized at the country level (described in GLOBE’s framework). The study’s theoretical model based on social exchange theory proposes that sustainable HRM practice increases organizational identification. However, the strength of this identification depends on the dimensions of national culture. Thus, we assumed national culture functions as a second-level moderator in the relationship between sustainable HRM and organizational identification.

    Correlates of money attitudes among Portuguese people
    2024-08-14 - Neto, Joana Sequeira; Furnham, Adrian
    This study examined the psychometric features of the New Money Attitudes Questionnaire (NMAQ) in a Portuguese population and the relations between money attitudes, participant demographics, well-being, and personality factors. The sample comprised 241 participants aged between 18 and 66 years. They completed the NMAQ and measures of financial well-being, loneliness, and personality. The results of a CFA displayed a good fit for the five-factor model of the NMAQ, and adequate reliability. Men scored significantly higher than women in Power and Status, and women scored significantly higher than men in Mindful and Responsible. The effect of age on money attitudes was not significant. Participants with lower educational levels scored significantly greater than those with higher educational level in Power and Status and Financial Literacy Worries. Well-being and personality factors explained a significant amount of variance regarding money attitudes.

    The Abbreviated 3-Item Versions of the Satisfaction With Life Scale and the Satisfaction With Love Life Scale
    2024-11-13 - Neto, Joana Sequeira; Neto, Félix
    The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and the Satisfaction with Love Life Scale (SWLLS) are cognitive measures of subjective well-being. Each scale includes 5 items. The major goals of this work were to analyze the psychometric features and validity of the abbreviated 3-item forms of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS-3) and the Satisfaction with Love Life Scale (SWLLS-3), as well as the measurement invariance (MI) by gender and age in a Portuguese population. The sample comprised 1,271 participants with an average age of 38 years. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) demonstrated that the two-dimensional model of SWLS-3 and of SWLLS-3 presented good fit indices. The reliability was adequate. Furthermore, these scales demonstrated MI across gender and age. The correlations of the 3- and 5-item measures with these well-being measures were very similar. Overall, the 3-item versions of the SWLS-3 and the SWLLS-3 are presented as valid and reliable measurement tools.

    Life satisfaction around the world: Measurement invariance of the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) across 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, and age groups
    2025-01-22 - Neto, Joana Sequeira
    The Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) is a widely used self-report measure of subjective well-being, but studies of its measurement invariance across a large number of nations remain limited. Here, we utilised the Body Image in Nature (BINS) dataset–with data collected between 2020 and 2022 –to assess measurement invariance of the SWLS across 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, and age groups (N = 56,968). All participants completed the SWLS under largely uniform conditions. Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis indicated that configural and metric invariance was upheld across all nations, languages, gender identities, and age groups, suggesting that the unidimensional SWLS model has universal applicability. Full scalar invariance was achieved across gender identities and age groups. Based on alignment optimisation methods, partial scalar invariance was achieved across all but three national groups and across all languages represented in the BINS. There were large differences in latent SWLS means across nations and languages, but negligible-to-small differences across gender identities and age groups. Across nations, greater life satisfaction was significantly associated with greater financial security and being in a committed relationship or married. The results of this study suggest that the SWLS largely assesses a common unidimensional construct of life satisfaction irrespective of respondent characteristics (i.e., national group, gender identities, and age group) or survey presentation (i.e., survey language). This has important implications for the assessment of life satisfaction across nations and provides information that will be useful for practitioners aiming to promote subjective well-being internationally.

    Sustainable human resource management and job satisfaction: Unlocking the power of organizational identification: A cross-cultural perspective from 54 countries
    2024-09-01 - Neto, Joana Sequeira
    Sustainable human resource management is gaining importance in organizations due to its role in developing a sustainable work environment and well-being. This paper discusses the relationship between employee perceptions of sustainable human resource management and job satisfaction in 54 countries. We propose that sustainable HRM is positively associated with job satisfaction but that this relationship is moderated by employees' identification with the organization and country-level individualism–collectivism. Thus, we suggest national culture functions as a second-level moderator of the relationship of sustainable HRM with organizational identification on job satisfaction. Findings from the multi-level analyses using data from 14,502 employees nested within 54 countries provided support for our hypotheses, namely that employee perceptions of sustainable HRM were positively associated with job satisfaction and that this relationship was more pronounced for employees with lower levels compared to higher levels of organizational identification in individualistic rather than collectivistic countries. These findings bear important implications for both theory and practice.

    Relationship between compassionate love and satisfaction with life in Angolan college students: The mediating roles of satisfaction with love life and commitment
    2025-05-08 - Neto, Joana Sequeira; Neto, Félix
    This research explored the relations between compassionate love (CL) for a partner, love satisfaction, commitment, and life satisfaction, and further aimed to scrutinize whether the relation between CL for a romantic partner and satisfaction with life was mediated by satisfaction with love life and commitment. The participants were 191 Angolan college students (50 % women; aged 18–34 years, M = 24.94; SD = 3.88). They answered scales to measure compassionate love, love satisfaction, commitment, and life satisfaction. Correlation, regression, and mediation analyses were performed to test the hypotheses. As expected, findings showed that CL for a partner and satisfaction with life were significantly and positively correlated. Furthermore, the results also indicated that love satisfaction and commitment fully mediated the relation between CL for a partner and satisfaction with life. The results afford insight into the relationships of compassionate love on satisfaction with life. Suggestions for future research are highlighted.

    Exposure and connectedness to natural environments: An examination of the measurement invariance of the Nature Exposure Scale (NES) and Connectedness to Nature Scale (CNS) across 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, and age groups
    2024-11-01 - Neto, Joana Sequeira
    Detachment from nature is contributing to the environmental crisis and reversing this trend requires detailed monitoring and targeted interventions to reconnect people to nature. Most tools measuring nature exposure and attachment were developed in high-income countries and little is known about their robustness across national and linguistic groups. Therefore, we used data from the Body Image in Nature Survey to assess measurement invariance of the Nature Exposure Scale (NES) and the Connectedness to Nature Scale (CNS) across 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, and age groups (N = 56,968). While multi-group confirmatory factor analysis (MG-CFA) of the NES supported full scalar invariance across gender identities and age groups, only partial scalar invariance was supported across national and linguistic groups. MG-CFA of the CNS also supported full scalar invariance across gender identities and age groups, but only partial scalar invariance of a 7-item version of the CNS across national and linguistic groups. Nation-level associations between NES and CNS scores were negligible, likely reflecting a lack of conceptual clarity over what the NES is measuring. Individual-level associations between both measures and sociodemographic variables were weak. Findings suggest that the CNS-7 may be a useful tool to measure nature connectedness globally, but measures other than the NES may be needed to capture nature exposure cross-culturally.

    Compassionate love for a romantic partner among Brazilian college students
    2024-04-12 - Neto, Joana Sequeira; Neto, Félix
    Compassionate love (CL) is a recent subject of close relationships. CL is focused on enlarging beneficence to another. The present study approaches the test of the psychometric characteristics of the shortened form of the Compassionate Love Scale for a partner (CLS-P-SF) for Brazilian college students and its relationships with background and well-being variables. The sample included 217 young adults, 46.1% women and 53.9% men. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the single latent factor of the CLS-P-SF is good and has satisfactory reliability. Subsequent analysis indicated that religious involvement and love status impacted the CLS-P-SF scores. CLS-P-SF scores were significantly related to the measurement of eros and agape love styles, commitment, life satisfaction, love satisfaction, and romantic loneliness. Satisfaction with love life mediated the relationship of CL for a partner and romantic loneliness. Current findings give an insight into the mechanism underlying the relation of CL with romantic loneliness.

    Experienced saudade in times of COVID-19 pandemic
    2025-07-14 - Neto, Félix; Neto, Joana Sequeira; Mullet, Etienne
    Saudade is a Lusophone concept concerning psychological reactions to situations related to the deprivation of loved ones and/or familiar places. It can be assessed empirically using the Experience of Saudade Scale (ESS), which comprises three factors: Lack of loved ones, Lack of intimacy, and Longing for the past. The aim of the study was to obtain further evidence concerning the psychometric properties of this scale and its relationship with psychological well-being and COVID-19-related concepts. Two hundred and nineteen participants, aged 18 to 80, completed the ESS and eight other scales measuring life satisfaction, life purpose, optimism, altruism, coronavirus anxiety, fear of COVID-19, empathy, and experiences related to COVID-19. The fit of the three-factor ESS model to the data was good, and reliability was adequate. All scores related to psychological well-being and COVID-19 concepts correlated with experienced saudade in the expected direction. The COVID-19 scores were able to be related to saudade factors over and above well-being measures.

    Self-compassion around the World: Measurement invariance of the short form of the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS-SF) across 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, and age groups
    2025-04-21 - Neto, Joana Sequeira
    The 12-item Self-Compassion Scale–Short Form (SCS–SF) is a widely used instrument for the assessment of self-compassion. To date, there have been few examinations of this instrument’s psychometric properties, particularly across nations and languages. Therefore, we used data from the Body Image in Nature Survey (BINS) to assess measurement invariance of the SCS–SF across nations, languages, gender identities, and age groups. Participants (N = 56,968) from 65 nations completed the SCS–SF in 40 languages. Using these data, we tested various hypothesised models of the SCS–SF in the total sample and, using multi-group confirmatory factor analysis, tested for invariance of the optimal model across national groups, languages, gender identities, and age groups. In the total dataset, we found that an 11-item, 2-factor model (i.e., SCS-11) provided best fit to the data, with the two factors tapping distinct constructs of compassionate and uncompassionate self-responding. The SCS-11 was found to be partially scalar invariant across national groups and languages, and fully scalar invariant across gender identities and age groups. There was wide variation in latent means for the two factors, particularly across national groups and languages. Further analyses showed negligible associations between the two factors and sociodemographic variables, including marital status, financial security, and urbanicity. Our results suggest that it may be possible to derive a stable 2-factor model of the SCS–SF for use in cross-cultural research, but also highlight the likelihood of cross-national and cross-linguistic variations in the way that self-compassion is understood.
