For this purpose, we conducted a surv...
The purpose of this work is to understand the scientific productivity gap between men and women by applying the AMO theory from a gender perspective. To achieve this objective, a case study was carried out in a Severo Ochoa R&D Centre of Excellence. A mixed methodology, combining qualitative and quantitative research methods, was used by conducting...
Cet article vise à analyser l’influence de la motivation des membres des équipes et du comportement des leaders sur le partage des connaissances entre les universitaires d’une équipe de projet de recherche. À cette fin, une étude menée auprès de 678 chercheurs universitaires appartenant à des équipes de projet liées à plusieurs universités espagnol...
Training programmes for entrepreneurship are considered to be a fundamental tool for generating new and better entrepreneurs to energise the business network and regional development. Literature reflects numerous doubts about how to design this type of programme, their effectiveness in generating entrepreneurs, and even the evaluation of the result...

This paper analyses the role of study-abroad programmes in higher education by examining how students’ participation can foster competence development and employability expectations. Our research focuses on the acquisition of competences through the international mobility programme Erasmus+ of 191 students of an undergraduate programme in tourism,...
Purpose
Although several previous studies were focused on examining the determinants of research productivity, the knowledge of the competences and motives that lead researchers to achieve relevant scientific performance remains unclear. This paper is aimed at contributing to this gap in the research by proposing a typology to understand academic r...
This paper analyzes how the trainer’s effort to articulate the knowledge transmitted during the training sessions influences training success in restaurants. An empirical study was conducted using a sample of 114 managers and supervisors of multi-unit restaurant companies in the Canary Islands, and Structural equation modeling was used to test the...
This paper analyses how academics perceive their group leaders’ behaviour in managing the scientific activities of their research group and, particularly, how the leader’s style (task- or relationship-oriented) enhances knowledge sharing, both directly and indirectly through its influence on conflict. An empirical research study was carried out by...
This article aims to analyse the influence of team members’ motivation and leaders’ behaviour on knowledge sharing among the academics of a research project team. To that end, a study of 678 academic researchers belonging to project teams linked to several Spanish universities was conducted. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to analyse the...
This study focuses on the socialization of business students on ethical issues. To this end, we explore personal and institutional factors that influence the acquisition of business ethics competences. Drawing on the case of the European higher education framework, we analyse data from questionnaires about the experience of 599 undergraduates study...
The objective of this research is to explore how entrepreneurial orientation (EO) contributes to explaining the performance of academic research groups through knowledge sharing. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 87 research groups (284 researchers) at a Spanish University. The relationships established were tested using 3SLS simultaneo...
Based on the need for new paradigms fostered by the European higher education framework, this study explores the influence of the lecturer's role on knowledge acquisition and competence development in undergraduate management students. The lecturer's role is analyzed through students' perceptions of the lecturer's ability to build a good relationsh...
This study aims to analyze if there is a bidirectional relationship between university–industry collaboration and scientific
production. The results from a sample of 137 research groups at a university in an ultra-peripheral region reveal the existence
of this bidirectional relationship. Scientific production has a positive influence on university–...
Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to discuss the theoretical and practical need for research into the learning conditions that influence a student’s self-assessment of their competences in management education. By means of a theoretical review, the paper introduces a model that integrates various learning conditions related to a student’s affe...
The objective of this paper is to analyse how the job-related diversity in academic research teams influences their scientific performance. To achieve that objective, an empirical study of a university's research teams was carried out during the years 2006–2009. The results reflect a non-significant effect of functional diversity on research teams'...
Higher education in most European countries has experienced major changes in the last years, and tourism studies have not been an exception. In an attempt to understand more about tourism education in order to better face the new academic framework, the specific goal of this work is to know the influence of students’ motivation and prior knowledge...
