Um processo que ocorreu pautando-se nos pressupostos teórico-epistemológicos da Ciência da Informação, alicerçados em uma perspectiva do paradigma social de Hjørland e Albrechtsen, dialogando com o sócio-interacionismo vygotskyano e com a hermenêutica de Gadamer e Capurro. Para atuar nesse contexto, o profissional da informação teve papel social como organizador e mediador para facilitar o acesso e o uso da informação, ajudando os sujeitos da pesquisa a se apropriarem da informação. Ações de informação foram acionadas no campo de pesquisa visando investigar as necessidades informacionais dos moradores, a fim de suprí-las e de promover a reflexão nos sujeitos, que por si só podem entender e mudar suas realidades, ao se empoderar em da informação. Destarte, estas ações ocorreram primando pelo diálogo, compreensão e ausculta, objetivando identificar as brechas onde o mediador atuou junto ao coletivo. Por isso, esta investigação se caracteriza como uma pesquisa participante de natureza qualitativa. Os dados foram coletados por meio da realização de entrevista e observação direta, utilizando um roteiro de entrevista, um formulário de prospecção e diário de campo para registro dos dados, os quais foram analisados pela técnica de análise de conteúdo, seguindo a trajetória de categorias produzidas a partir do planejamento de uma capacitação. A experiência adquirida durante o doutorado-sanduíche em Rione Sanità, na Itália, e na própria comunidade brasileira, forneceu elementos para a produção de um modelo de mediação da informação, que teve como fundamentos as teorias de outros modelos, como o modelo de desenvolvimento de competências intelectuais de informação de Sirvente o modelo comportamento informacional de Wilson. Os resultados demonstram que, a implementação do modelo de mediação da informação elaborado, possibilitou a potencialização do protagonismo social nos sujeitos pesquisados, ao se apropriaram da informação utilizando-a para desenvolver um conjunto de habilidades, conhecimentos e aptidões. O modelo de mediação da informação está disponível para ser propagado, como um exemplo efetivo da capacidade de fornecer formas reais e legítimas de empoderamento da informação e emancipação cultural e social.

Business today is conducted within societies facing complex global challenges and unprecedented demands for effective, ethical, and excellent business leadership that proactively manages its societal impacts. Integrating economic success with service of the common good requires a sound, shared understanding of “positive” executive business leadership to guide executive selection, education and development, and practice. This thesis formulates and theoretically grounds a general theory of positive executive business leadership. Integrative Executive Leadership (“IEL”) addresses the individual, pairs/groups/teams, organizational, and societal levels of business. Within these contexts, IEL exercises positive integrative agency through multi-stakeholder professional stewardship, integrated performance management, and living codes of ethics. This requires the practice of five mutually-reinforcing positive behavioural repertoires: contemplative self-leadership, functional-relational facilitative leadership, full range managerial-leadership, visionary strategic leadership, and transforming-developmental leadership. These are reinforced by five positive philosophies or styles of leadership: authentic, moral, spiritual, servant, and wise leadership. Consequently, IEL is predicated upon essential competencies, attainments, and positive dispositions. Especially, IEL requires the cultivation of positive psychological states, traits, and virtues, eudaimonic character, postautonomous levels of ego development, psychological complexity, integrative consciousness and flow. In addition to promoting intrinsic morality, these farther reaches of human nature contribute to effective and excellent leadership performance. Integrative Executive Leaders do well by doing good. IEL was developed through multiparadigm theory-building, adopting a pragmatic epistemology, and employing a transdisciplinary, positive scholarship approach to integrate the findings from a broad range of qualitative and quantitative research from the humanities and the social sciences. IEL theory articulates important theoretical relationships derived from: leading insights from management and organization theory; salient research findings from the social sciences and the humanities; insights from positive psychology, positive organizational behaviour, positive organizational scholarship, constructive developmental psychology, transpersonal psychology, and integrated empirical ethics; interpretive analyses of the biographies of great world leaders; and, a rich case study of an extraordinary executive business leader. Accordingly, IEL is advanced as an emergent theory with both theoretical grounding and empirical reference. The path forward requires further transdisciplinary, multiparadigm, multi-method research to further develop and refine IEL and establish it as a grounded theory of positive executive business leadership.
