Item type:Publication, Cybersociety and university sustainability: The challenge of holistic restructuring in universities in Chile, Spain, and Peru(MDPI, 2020-07-02)The global challenge of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals present a framework of opportunities, in which universities must respond to the demands of a sustainable social organisation by addressing the issues of quality education, the participation and inclusion of different sectors, and the need to promote university social responsibility. In response to this situation, we examine three experiences that highlight the reorganisation demanded at each of the three organisational levels: (1) Macro: the need for cooperation between different universities in Chile’s “macrocampus”; (2) Meso: the organisation and running of faculties in light of the challenges to renew curriculums with the experience implemented by the Social Sciences Faculty of Pablo de Olavide University in Spain; and, (3) Micro: the integration of students and commitment to the needs of the social surroundings, with the E-QUIPU experience implemented at Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP) in Peru. The report we present is based on a case study, and the findings and conclusions lead us to propose a new holistic-organisational paradigm to facilitate the sustainability of universities. The results of the restructuring allowed us to conduct a meta-evaluation of the sustainability of organisations within a problematic situation (COVID-19), which tested the results of the restructuring objective of Cybersociety.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Navigating job satisfaction in family firms during crisis(Frontiers Media SA, 2024-01-01)Occupational health is one of the aspects significantly affected during crisis periods. It is essential to learn about the factors that improve organizational capacity in coping with such shocks. This study investigates how the working environment of a family business influences job satisfaction during crises. Conducting a survey with 516 employees at the peak of the pandemic, the research utilizes structural equation analysis, revealing that family business environments can mitigate burnout, enhance affective commitment, and consequently, boost job satisfaction. The study highlights the need to manage burnout and utilize resources, such as employee commitment, for family firms to sustain job satisfaction amidst disruptions. It deepens the comprehension of family businesses’ crisis response, emphasizing the significance of human resource commitment and management. The investigation illuminates the dynamic interplay between the work environment, employee well-being, and organizational resilience, providing valuable insights for both theoretical understanding and practical application. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A fuzzy bi-objective mathematical model for perishable medical goods supply chain network considering crisis situations: An empirical study(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2024-01-01)In case of crisis, the salvation of injuries depends on the timely provision of medical goods, relief supplies, and equipment. The aim of this study is to present a mathematical model for the supply chain network of perishable medical goods in crisis situation considering the uncertain environment. In this paper, a three-level supply chain including suppliers, intermediate warehouses, and final customers is developed for perishable medical items. The uncertainty of customer demand for service and the spent time in the intermediate warehouses are considered using the exponential distribution functions. Also, it is assumed that the life-cycle of perishable medical goods follow the Weibull distribution function. The model attempts to minimize the total costs of the supply chain and total presence time of perishable items in the whole chain. The LP-Metric method is employed for solving small-sized problems. Due to the NP-Hardness of the problem, the modified Multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) are utilized as 2 well-known and efficient meta-heuristic algorithms for solving large-sized problems. The findings indicate that the meta-heuristic algorithms are efficient in achieving close to the optimal solution for large-size problems in a reasonable time. Also, the results demonstrate that NSGA-II outperforms MOPSO in terms of the high quality solution. Finally, the applicability of the model to real-world problems is demonstrated using a real case study. This paper can assist the planners and decision-makers of perishable drugs supply chain networks in crisis conditions with on-time supplying and distributing the required emergency items. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Different Trajectories from a Common Crisis: Survival Migrations and Resilience of Venezuelan Adolescents to Peru(SAGE Publishing, 2023-11-07)This article examines the biography of adolescents who emigrated from Venezuela with family members due to economic hardship. It aims to highlight how a common crisis produces a variety of experiences, but that resilience is a central aspect of all life courses. It analyzes the stages of the adolescents’ migratory trajectory: their departure, journey, and settlement in Peru. The results show that the crisis homogenises the living conditions and produces a heterogeneity of migration experiences in which resilience is ever-present. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, When crisis hits home: cultural and gendered realities of entrepreneurial parenting in difficult times(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2025-01-01)This study identifies and details the notable effects of having children in the household and gender on how entrepreneurs experience work–family conflict, as well as on their well-being, during times of crisis (e.g. COVID-19 pandemic). Design/methodology/approach Leveraging both boundary theory and embeddedness literature, the authors analyze data from more than 6,500 entrepreneurs across 24 European countries, drawn from Eurofound's Living, Working and COVID-19 survey. Findings Entrepreneurs with children in the household experience greater work–family conflict than entrepreneurs without children, leading to variances in their psychological well-being. Female entrepreneurs are particularly affected by this increased work–family conflict and diminished well-being. However, a society's culture, measured as its embeddedness, can mitigate differences in work–family conflict and well-being between entrepreneurs with and without children. In particular, female entrepreneurs benefit from the support they receive from their embedded membership in family networks. Originality/value This study provides unique insights into the link between parenthood and psychological well-being and the influences of conflicting demands between work and family in times of crisis. It accounts for how these links vary by both gender and the broader cultural environment, offering novel recommendations for how entrepreneurs can protect themselves, even in the midst of a crisis.7 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Performing Vulnerability at Times of Crisis: The Peruvian State and the Configuration of the Digital Cultural Entrepreneur(Wiley, 2026-09-01)This article examines mitigation mechanisms implemented by Peru's Ministry of Culture during the COVID‐19 pandemic to buffer the economic effects on the cultural sector. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted between 2022 and 2023—including interviews with officials and beneficiaries and visits to craft workshops across eight regions—we examine how these policies shaped a new citizen subject: the “digital cultural entrepreneur.” We propose the concept of vulnerability as performance to theorize how access to state support is mediated through the enactment of both precarity and entrepreneurial agency. Our findings show that the very mechanisms of state support —such as online application portals, digital training mandates, and self‐management requirements—reconfigure artisanal practices by embedding digitalization and self‐management within regimes of cultural policy, reinforcing neoliberal rationalities. The study contributes to the anthropology of entrepreneurship by showing how these specific relief initiatives generate differentiated effects according to uneven digital and social capacities, exposing tensions between productivity imperatives and the structural precariousness of cultural labor in contexts of crisis. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Legacy of a crisis: understanding individual success and uncertainty via self-perceived creativity – insights from the COVID-19 pandemic among Colombian entrepreneurs(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2025-08-04)This study aims to explore the mediating role of self-perceived creativity in the relationship between the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on individual success and uncertainty perceptions among Colombian entrepreneurs. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative framework was employed to gather survey data. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (SEM) using SmartPLS 4 was used to analyze the mediation hypothesis. Findings This study confirms that an increase in entrepreneurs' individual success correlates with a reduction in their perceived environmental uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic. This nexus is partially mediated by entrepreneurs' self-perceived creativity, suggesting that higher levels of perceived personal success bolster creativity, which in turn mitigates perceptions of uncertainty. Research limitations/implications This study's reliance on voluntary deterministic sampling may have limited the representativeness of the sample. Given SEM's preference for larger samples, the smaller sample size necessitates a cautious interpretation of the findings as it may constrain their generalizability. The study also relied on self-reported data for both independent and dependent variables, which may have introduced a bias. Practical implications These findings highlight the importance of strategically managing creativity as a critical entrepreneurial asset, particularly when navigating uncertain times. Policy interventions should therefore include the facilitation of creativity training programs by both governmental and non-governmental entities. Support programs should also encompass emotional assistance to help entrepreneurs navigate through trials and the potential failures caused by crises. Originality/value The originality of this work lies in its simultaneous consideration of entrepreneurial success, uncertainty and creativity within a unified conceptual framework, thereby augmenting entrepreneurship discourse.2
