Item The Effect of Family Supportive Supervisor Behaviors and Work-family Culture on Turnover Intention and Work-family Conflict(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2021-07-21) Campos García, Angela Ximena; Guevara Moncada, Rubén; Idrovo Carlier, Sandra MonserratResearch on the work-family interface coming from different countries has certainly grown in the last years. Although still scarce, data from Latin American countries on workfamily issues is now available (Idrgovo Carlier et al., 2012; Idrovo & Bosch, 2019; Las Heras et al., 2015; Pecino et al., 2018). However, research from those countries, has focused on the work-family interface in firms and organizations mainly from the private sector. The purpose of this research was to look into the work-life interface of professionals in a demanding and high-risk occupation in a public service organization in the security sector. Specifically, it focuses on the interaction between supervisor behaviors and culture with turnover intention and work-family conflict. The present study centers on data from a public security organization (3861) in a Latin American country. The validity of the measuring instruments was evaluated through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was then applied to evaluate the relationship between variables. Results show a statistically significant negative impact of the supervisor behaviors in organizational (turnover intention) and individual outcomes (work-to-family conflict). At the same time organizational culture negatively affects turnover intentions and work-to-family conflict. While confirming results coming from the private sector in other countries, the importance of supervisor and culture proves implications for work and family practices in this type of organizations.Item Process Evolution of Women as Senior Executives and Influential Business Leaders in Peru: a Grounded Theory Approach(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2021-06-16) Portugal Manrique, Rocío Margot; Guevara Moncada, RubénThe purpose of this qualitative, grounded theory study was to understand why so few women have achieved CEO positions or similar high positions in large companies in Peru. Although a small number of women, about 12% in the executive committees and 17% on corporate boards, have achieved high or executive positions worldwide (McKinsey, 2019), those women who have achieved top senior leadership position are a phenomenon that deserves to be studied in order to understand the process involved. In this study, conducted using a grounded theory approach, 18 executives with the position of CEO, board member or senior partner in a large company in Peru were interviewed in depth. The interviews were semi-structured, and the data was analyzed using the constant comparative method suggested by Strauss & Corbin (1990) and supported by MAXQDA software for qualitative data analysis. The results identified a complex process in the career ascent of these women executives. Fourteen dimensions - endogenous, exogenous and interconnected theoretical categories - emerged in the process. These findings were elevated into a substantive theory called the process of the evolution of women executives into influential business leaders. This study’s findings form a basis that could be used to build upon until a firm theory is developed, which could help understand this phenomenon from within to help managers, and particularly women, to implement policies that give women equal opportunity to men to reach the upper echelon of company management structures.
