No. of bitstreams: 1 Alex de Souza Santana.pdf: 20667109 bytes, checksum: 179c3f8ddbfc6c8247bbcfcc0627b053 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-11-18 / Information technologies have passed through a great conceptual evolution around the turn of the second millennium, by incorporating collaborative aspects, dynamic content creation and having the web platform as a base, thus originating the concept of web 2.0 technologies or social medias. Several potential benefits arise from the adoption of such technologies, but however, few studies consider them in the project management context, which is also a discipline of recognized strategic importance for organizations. Even more, it is not known if the professional members of project teams or even project managers have knowledge of the collaborative technologies and intend to adopt them in their tasks. Therefore, this research aims to identify the factors that influence the intention of adoption social medias in projects tasks, for indeed, to extract better benefits of one technology, it is necessary to understand the factors that motivate acceptance of the targeted users. To reach this objective, a conceptual model is proposed, based on existing literature, hence being such model a theoretical contribution of this study. The applyed method for development of this research is quantitative, using structural equation modeling through partial least squares. As result, four significant factors to be observed for a better promotion of the use of collaborative technologies in projects are shown. Complementarily, the study also presents the types of social medias best applicable in each of the project management knowledge areas, in accordance to the perception of professionals. / As tecnologias de informação passaram por uma grande evolução conceitual na virada do segundo milênio, ao incorporarem aspectos de colaboração, de criação dinâmica de conteúdo e tendo como base a plataforma web, dando origem ao conceito de tecnologias web 2.0 ou mídias sociais. Diversos potenciais benefícios decorrem da adoção dessas tecnologias, porém, poucos estudos as consideram no contexto de gerenciamento de projetos, que também é uma disciplina de reconhecida importância estratégica para as organizações. Mais ainda, não se sabe se os profissionais membros de equipes de projetos ou mesmo os gestores de projetos, têm conhecimento das tecnologias colaborativas e se pretendem adotá-las em suas tarefas. Assim sendo, esta pesquisa visa identificar os fatores que influenciam a intenção de adoção das mídias sociais nas tarefas de projetos, pois de fato, para se extrair melhores benefícios de uma tecnologia, se faz necessário compreender os fatores que motivam a aceitação dos usuários em potencial. Para alcançar este objetivo, um modelo conceitual é proposto, tendo como base literatura existente, sendo consequemente tal modelo uma contribuição teórica deste estudo. O método aplicado para desenvolvimento desta pesquisa é de natureza quantitativa, utilizando modelagem de equações estruturais, por meio de mínimos quadrados parciais. Como resultado, são apresentados quatro fatores significantes a serem observados para uma melhor promoção do uso das tecnologias colaborativas em projetos. De forma complementar, o estudo apresenta ainda os tipos de mídias sociais melhor aplicáveis em cada uma das áreas de conhecimento de gerenciamento de projetos, de acordo com a percepção dos profissionais da área.

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo analizar las diversas variables relacionadas con la intención a la adopción de las plataformas online de farmacias, para dicho objetivo se trabajó bajo el modelo de la Teoría Unificada de la Aceptación y Uso de la Tecnología (UTAUT, por sus siglas en inglés). Para probar las hipótesis planteadas se propone realizar un estudio cuantitativo con una muestra de cuatrocientas personas las cuales ayudarán a obtener el grado de significancia entre las variables de calidad percibida, precio, social influence, expectativa de esfuerzo y de rendimiento con relación a la intención a la adopción de la plataformas online de farmacias. A su vez, para el estudio se consideró incluir las dimensiones de la variable de calidad percibida: calidad de la información, calidad del sistema y calidad del servicio las cuales ayudarán a profundizar la relación de la misma. Dicha investigación presenta limitaciones geográficas en cuanto al número de la muestra planteada. Esta investigación busca servir de apoyo a futuros estudios para conocerla intención de adopción de las personas hacia las plataformas online de farmacias. / This research has to analyze the differents constructs to the intention to adopt on e-pharmacy platforms, for this objective we worked under the unified theory of acceptance and use of the technology (UTAUT) model. To test those hypotheses, it is proposed to realize a quantitative study with a four hundred sample people who help to obtain the degree of significance between the constructs of perceived quality, price, social influence, effort and performance expectancy in relation to the intention to adopt online pharmacy platforms. At the same time, for this study to be considered include the perceived quality dimensions: quality information, quality system and quality service which will help to deepen the relationship of the same. This study presents geographic limitations in relation to the number of the sample proposed. This research seeks to support future studies of the intention to adopt of people towards online pharmacy platforms. / Trabajo de investigación

Efterfrågan och konsumtionen av jordens naturresurser ökar ständigt (Lieder & Rashid 2016). Längs med ett konsumtionsmönster som präglas av en mentalitet där produkter används ett fåtal gånger under en begränsad tidsperiod kommer också konsekvenser (Belk 2014a). Ett gehör på detta har lett till att nya affärsmodeller har börjat uppmärksammas. En affärsmodell av cirkulär karaktär är delningskonsumtion som bland annat inkluderar korttidshyra (Armstrong & Park 2019a). Genom att dela resurser under en kort period kan konsumenter uppleva ekonomiska-, utilitariska- och miljömässiga fördelar utan att äga produkten (Barhdi & Eckhardt 2012; Griffiths & Hwang 2017; Martin 2016). Men är ägandeskap en vän eller fiende gällande mer hållbara konsumtionsmönster? Syftet med denna studie är att observera hur ägandeskap påverkar adopteringen av korttidshyra och vidare observera om olika produktkategorier påverkas på olika sätt. En kvantitativ enkätundersökning genomfördes och resultatet tyder på att ägandeskap har en tendens att påverka adopteringen av korttidshyra sett till de observerade produktkategorierna. Dessutom finns det en indikation på att möbler tillsammans med kläder inte nödvändigtvis är särskilt lämpliga för korttidshyra medan bostäder samt, till viss del, elektronik kan anses vara mera lämpliga. / The demand and consumption of the earth's natural resources is constantly increasing (Lieder & Rashid 2016). In combination with a consumption pattern that is characterized by a “take-make-waste” mentality we face anticipated consequences (Belk 2014a). As a response, a new set of business models has begun to get attention. One of these more circular models is collaborative consumption which includes short-term renting (Armstrong & Park 2019a). By sharing resources during a short period, the consumers are able to experience monetary-, utilitarian- and environmental benefits without owning the product (Barhdi & Eckhardt 2012; Griffiths & Hwang 2017; Martin 2016). But is ownership a friend or foe in regards to more sustainable consumption patterns? The purpose of this study is to observe how ownership affects the adoption of short-term renting and further to observe if different product categories are affected differently. By conducting a quantitative online survey, the result shows that there is a tendency for ownership to affect the adoption of short-term renting in the observed categories. Furthermore, there is an indication that furniture along with clothing might not be suitable for short-term renting whilst accommodation, and for some part electronics, might be more suitable due to the degree that ownership affects the intention for adoption.
