The present research was developed to reexamine the factor structure of the Political Skill Inventory (PSI), expand upon the political skill behavioral taxonomy to include charisma, and provide validity evidence for both the PSI and our new measure of charisma. In study one, using a large undergraduate student sample, confirmatory factor analysis provided evidence for a three factor structure of political skill. Charisma and networking ability were identified as unique factors of the political skill construct domain while PSI dimensions of social astuteness, interpersonal influence, and apparent sincerity collapsed to form a single dimension. Study One results also indicated a strong positive relationship between self-reports of political skill, charisma, and OCB. In Study Two, using a sample of public-sector triads consisting of professional level employees, their coworkers and their supervisors, mixed support was found for the convergent and divergent validity of the four PSI dimensions and charisma across reporting sources. As hypothesized, political skill predicted supervisor reports of overall job performance, task performance, and OCB. Charisma contributed to the prediction of supervisor ratings of overall performance and task performance after controlling for PSI total scores. At the dimensional level, social astuteness and charisma demonstrated the strongest predictive validity across all study criteria. Social astuteness and charisma also demonstrated a significant interaction when predicting supervisor ratings of overall performance and task performance. This interaction indicated that social astuteness plays more of a role in predicting job performance for employees low in charisma than for employees high in charisma. As an addition to the second study, the ability of the PSI and charisma to predict performance ratings was compared against an abridged version of a situational judgment test assessing practical intelligence, the Tacit Knowledge Inventory for Managers (TKIM; Wagner and Sternberg, 1991). After controlling for PSI total scores and charisma, the TKIM provided a modest contribution to the prediction of supervisor ratings of overall performance. Implications of these findings and directions for future research are provided.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Fundamental social right of second dimension, leisure is born in order to require to the State an action not only for their protection but also for enforcement. Thus, it is seen that the Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988 cites leisure at three different time, one of them in the Title II Rights and Fundamental Guarantees. Much was the doctrinal controversy as possible the effect of immediate applicability, prevailing currently the position that Article 5, §3º of the Basic Charter 1988 focuses on all of Title II, including the fundamental right to leisure. However, despite the immediate applicability guaranteed by the Federal Constitution, it was realized that leisure does not have the full effect, that is not able to generate all the effects necessary for their implementation and protection. This is because, although provided for in planning both at the constitutional level as infrastructure, leisure has only one aspect of such effectiveness, that is the legal. Therefore, it is missing the social effectiveness of leisure corresponding to their effectiveness, ability to produce effects in the social environment in order to reach the community and its traditions. It was also found that it is due to the lack of effectiveness the right to leisure is infringed and that the community is not able to define it or value it. Faced with this problem, we sought the solution by Georg Jelinek´s idea that leisure represents a positive fundamental right that require to the State an positive action. Therefore, based on the basilar super principle of democratic rule, the Dignity of the Human Person, and on the Principles of forbiddance to recession and of Social Progressivity, the implementation of Public Policies of State are mechanism of effective social fundamental right to leisure in order to raise awareness, implement and inform the community of the institute, and protect it from the offenses committed by individuals and even by the State. The work aims to discuss the implications brought to leisure due to its forecast in the legal system as a fundamental right , formulate a concept that embraces its interdisciplinarity, prove their importance to the dignity life of the individual and demonstrate public policies to be adopted the Legislative, Judiciary and Executive , and some subsidiary bodies of Justice, to ensure its effectiveness. / Direito fundamental social de segunda dimensão, o lazer nasce com o intuito de exigir do Estado uma intervenção não somente para a sua proteção como também para efetivação. Desse modo, percebe-se que a Constituição Federal Brasileira de 1988 cita o lazer em três momentos distintos, sendo um deles dentro do Título II Dos Direitos e Garantias Fundamentais. Muita foi a controvérsia doutrinária quanto possibilidade do efeito da aplicabilidade imediata, prevalecendo, atualmente, o posicionamento de que o artigo 5º, §3º da Carta Fundamental de 1988 incide em todo do Título II, inclusive no direito fundamental ao lazer. Entretanto, apesar da aplicabilidade imediata garantida pela Constituição Federal, percebeu-se que o lazer não apresenta a eficácia plena, isto é, não é capaz de gerar todos os efeitos necessários para a sua concretização e proteção. Isso porque, apesar de previsto no ordenamento tanto no plano constitucional como infra, o lazer apresenta somente uma das vertentes dessa eficácia, qual seja, a jurídica. Logo, é ausente a eficácia social do lazer que corresponde a sua efetividade, capacidade de produzir efeitos no meio social com o intuito de atingir a comunidade e seus hábitos. Verificou-se ainda que é em razão da ausência de efetividade que o direito ao lazer é transgredido e que a comunidade não é capaz de defini-lo ou valorizá-lo. Diante desse problema, buscou-se a solução através da ideia de Georg Jelinek de que o lazer corresponde a um direito fundamental positivo de modo a exigir do Estado uma atuação que o concretize. Portanto, com base no superprincípio basilar do Estado Democrático de Direito, a Dignidade da Pessoa Humana, e nos Princípios da Vedação ao Retrocesso e da Progressividade Social, defende-se a implementação das Políticas Públicas de Estado como mecanismo de efetividade do direito fundamental social ao lazer de forma a conscientizar, concretizar e informar a comunidade do instituto, além de protegê-lo contra as transgressões praticadas pelos particulares e, inclusive, pelo próprio Estado. Desse modo, objetiva o trabalho discutir as implicações trazidas ao lazer em função de sua previsão no ordenamento jurídico como direito fundamental, formular um conceito que abarque a sua interdisciplinaridade, comprovar sua importância para a vida digna do indivíduo e demonstrar as políticas públicas a serem adotadas pelos Poderes Legislativo, Judiciário e Executivo, além de alguns órgãos auxiliares da Justiça, para garantir a sua efetividade.

Para alcançarmos os objetivos propostos realizamos uma pesquisa bibliográfica sobre o contexto histórico e as concepções de Educação Integral no Brasil e através da pesquisa qualitativa com referências de Godoy (1995), Brandão (2000) e Ludke & André (2003), construiu-se a possibilidade de que os fenômenos fossem estudados no contexto em que ocorreram e possibilitou a participação ativa do pesquisador no ambiente pesquisado. A escola investigada participa do “Programa Mais Educação” que se constitui em uma estratégia do Governo Federal que prevê a oferta de educação integral em jornada ampliada, por meio da realização de atividades socioeducativas no contra turno escolar, realizadas no espaço da escola ou fora dela. Acreditamos que o debate da concepção de educação integral presente neste estudo tem sua relevância na atualidade do tema, uma vez que se encontra inserido no contexto nacional de políticas públicas que evocam a busca pela qualidade da educação brasileira, enquanto um estudo que associa a educação integral em jornada ampliada aos impactos nos processos educativos. / This research has as its central theme the full time education and propose to examine the relationship between the extended day project of the School of Elementary Education Major Antonio de Alencar, called Integral Shift School, and the improving of the school education quallity since this school has achieved Social Effectiveness in the community in which it operates. To achieve the proposed objectives, we conducted a literature search on the historical context and conceptions of Integral Education in Brazil and through qualitative research with references like Godoy (1995), Brandão (2000) and Ludke & Andrew (2003), we managed to studied the context in which they occurred and made possible the active participation of the researcher in that environment. The school investigated participates in the "More Education Program" which constitutes a strategy of the Federal Government that provides for the provision of full time education in extended journey through the realization of social and educational activities in the opposite shift of the school day held on the school surroundings or outside . We believe that the discussion of the full time education in this study have actual relevance as it is inserted in the national context of public policies that evoke the search for quality of Brazilian education, while a study that combines full time education enlarged the journey to the impacts in the educational processes.

The research reported here provides an introduction to a theoretical model of socio-affective competence. This conceptual model of social effectiveness consists of four competencies that are related to the development of effective interpersonal relationships in the workplace. These competencies include: establishing rapport, promoting acceptance of differences, developing trust and cultivating charismatic influence. The socio-affective competence model was formulated in an attempt to integrate research on social and emotional skills that have been linked to performance in organizations. The current research proposed the model and defined its competency areas, designed a socio-affective competence situational judgment test (SAC-SJT), identified the variables that were theoretically related and unrelated to the construct, and provided initial evidence in support of the criterion-related validity of the socio-affective competence framework. Results from two different studies established the foundation of the socio-affective competence nomological network and demonstrated the predictive validity of the SAC-SJT on job performance, relational behaviors, and organizational citizenship performance. The author discusses the benefits of developing interpersonal relationship skills and the relevance of these findings in organizational settings.
