Chapter 9

The entrepreneurial spirit based on social values: The digital generation                                             

María Dolores Sánchez-Fernández, Martha Ríos Manríquez

In this work, within the framework of Institutional Theory and based on the socially responsible values, we analyzed the entrepreneurial spirit of the future entrepreneurs of Generation Z, (the digital generation) (Scott, 2013). This was an exploratory and quantitative study developed between January and May in 2016. The data were analyzed using the statistics software SPSS and using a descriptive analysis with a multivariate factor analysis. The objective of this study involved discovering what motivates and influences the future entrepreneurs of Generation Z in the implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices. The results that present this work, seek to help the institutions to receive a greater rate of return on investment from the actions that influence future entrepreneurs.

The influence of institutional environment on environmental practices and its Impact on Regional Development: A gender perspective

Chapter 19
The influence of institutional environment on environmental practices and its Impact on Regional Development: A gender perspective

María Dolores Sánchez-Fernández

This chapter studied the institutional influence associated to environmental practices in hotels. The aim was to interpret whether it was the normative, coercive or mimetic pressures (Institutional pressures) that influenced the three, four and five star hotels in north of Portugal and Galicia (a gender perspective). In order to accomplish these objectives, the author used an investigation model that connects institutional context pressures with environmental practices and environmental practices with legitimacy. To study used the Institutional Theory as theoretical reference.

Estrategias de compensación y su relación con el Compromiso Organizacional en los docentes de las Instituciones de Educación Superior en México

Estrategias de compensación y su relación con el Compromiso Organizacional en los docentes de las Instituciones de Educación Superior en México

Abstract


La presente investigación analiza el efecto que las estrategias de compensación (honorarios y salarios) tiene sobre las dimensiones del Compromiso Organizacional en docentes de las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES). El estudio es de tipo descriptivo con un análisis de la varianza con un factor (Anova), realizado a 209 docentes de la Zona Metropolitana Laja Bajío en Guanajuato, México, utilizando las variables (compromiso afectivo, normativo y continuo), del instrumento propuesto por Meyer y Allen (1997). Los resultados muestran que, la estrategia de compensación a través de salarios aumenta el compromiso afectivo, mientras disminuye el compromiso continuo. En comparación con la estrategia de compensación a través de honorarios, los docentes asalariados tienen un mayor sentimiento de apego y compromiso para realizar su trabajo y un menor sentimiento de “tener que” permanecer en la institución solo por la necesidad de un empleo.

Análise da App Turística Tenerife Acessivel

Análise da App Turística Tenerife Acessivel

Resumo


O turismo é uma atividade económica que tem um impacto importante na balança comercial espanhola. No entanto, esta atividade ainda é exclusiva, embora se note que as barreiras às infraestruturas de acesso para pessoas com necessidades especiais estão sendo cada vez mais eliminadas. Tanto os meios de transporte, como as infra-estruturas hoteleiras, gastronômicas, museus e praias, todos os elementos da atividade turística estão se tornando cada vez mais acessíveis. A acessibilidade é entendida como as facilidades que permitem as pessoas com necessidades especiais (mobilidade reduzida, deficiência visual ou auditiva) de desfrutar do mesmo espaço que qualquer outro turista. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a existência de aplicativos de celulares de destinos turísticos que considerem algumas das necessidades especiais dos indivíduos. Para isso, foram analisados ​​as APPS apresentados na Guía APPS turísticas 2016 pela Seggitur, ou seja, mais de 200 APPS foram avaliadas. De acordo com Segittur (2016, p.2) "as novas tecnologias foram definitivamente colocadas à serviço do turista". Mas elas foram realmente projetadas para todos os turistas? Verificou-se que de todos os APPS considerados no relatório, apenas um foi desenvolvido para o público que tem necessidades especiais: Tenerife Acessível. Tal aplicativo trabalha questões da imagem turística do destino com foco nas necessidades deste público. Além disso, verificou-se que o destino usa o esporte como atração para este segmento. No entanto, este documento apresenta as relações existentes entre inovação, turismo e esportes acessíveis.

The Perception of the Effect of Tourism on the Local Community before the Ibiza Smart Island Project

The Perception of the Effect of Tourism on the Local Community before the Ibiza Smart Island Project

María Dolores Sánchez-Fernández (University of A Coruña, Spain) and José Ramon Cardona (University of Illes Balears, Spain)

Abstract

The perceptions that residents had towards aspects linked to tourism development on the island of Ibiza is measured. In 2011 fieldwork which asked the extent of agreement with several statements was carried out. A descriptive analysis was carried out on the data obtained to determine the average valuation on various items and cross tabulations to see if there are differences between the five municipalities of the island. The results show that there is a high valuation of the economic benefits and tourism is considered to be very important, but they are half-hearted or critical towards the rest of the impacts. In addition, there are no significant differences between the five municipalities. Ibiza is a single tourist destination and works as one single social unit. In 2015 the Ibiza Smart Island project was launched, with smart city and smart destination elements, to solve the problems that affect residents and tourists.

Introduction

Tourism is highly dependent on the hospitality of residents, and the support of the local population is essential for the proper development of tourism (Besculides, Lee, & McCormick, 2002; Gursoy, Jurowski, & Uysal, 2002; Jurowski, 1994; Sharpley, 2014; Stylidis & Terzidou, 2014). Moreover it is widely recognized that the planners and entrepreneurs in the tourism sector must take into account the resident community if they want sustainable development (Almeida, Balbuena, & Cortés, 2015; Ap & Crompton, 1998; Gursoy, Chi, & Dyer, 2010; Nunkoo & Ramkissoon, 2010; Presenza, Del Chiappa, & Sheehan, 2013). There are many reasons why the residents’ reaction is important (Williams & Lawson, 2001) and the investigation into the causes of their attitudes toward tourism is of great help for management. The impact of tourism on the quality of life of the residents should allow for an increase or at least maintain it the same (Williams & Lawson, 2001). Having the support of the population is essential since the kindness of the residents is a basic element in a tourism product (Fridgen, 1991). One of the motivations of tourism is psycho-social reasons and it often involves an increase in the contact with individuals from the surrounding area during the stay (Gómez, San Martin, & Bertiche, 1999), and if the treatment received from these people is hospitable they will have an enjoyable experience.
With the development of information and communication technologies, initiatives that seek to use this technology to improve peoples’ lives have arisen.
  • The concepts of smart city (Ramaswami, Russell, Culligan, Rahul Sharma, & Kumar, 2016),
  • Smart island (Mahizhnan, 1999), and
  • Smart destination (Del Chiappa, & Baggio, 2015; Ivars, Solsona, & Sánchez, 2016) are examples of this.
A smart city is a population that seeks sustainable development in its broad sense (economic, social, environmental, etc.) and to offer the most appropriate response possible to the basic needs of institutions, companies and residents. This implies that the initiatives and investments that have been implemented promote an improvement in the quality of life, sustainable development, participatory management and efficient use of time by everyone involved. The actions which imply being a smart city are based on the development and implementation of tools based on information and communication technologies. These tools are essential for the introduction of actions aimed at a more efficient and sustainable use of resources available, including peoples’ time (Deakin, 2013; Deakin & Al Waer, 2011). Reality is that at present, this is a concept which is still unclear and which encompasses very diverse initiatives, both in its technological base and in its scope and objectives. What all the cases do have in common is that they seek an improvement in the daily life of residents and visitors.
When a population nucleus has great tourism development and decides to adopt the smart city approach, tourists are fundamental in the sustainability of local development. In these cases it is normal to talk about Smart destination (Del Chiappa & Baggio, 2015; Ivars et al., 2016) to highlight the importance of visitors in the design of the various actions undertaken. Smart destination projects seek to improve the tourist experience by providing them with useful information at a suitable time and place. This normally consists in projects that aim to facilitate access to tourist information on culture, entertainment, places of interest, etc. through electronic devices, mainly mobile technology.
