Abstract

Purpose

The article aims at analyzing the social representations of retirement in two different groups of professors – pre-retired and retired – from a public higher education institution. The goal is to explore the experiences, reflections, beliefs, and attitudes originated from the transition to retirement.

Design/methodology/approach

The research, of exploratory and descriptive nature, was guided by the Social Representation Theory (SRT) and took a qualitative approach. 16 professors were interviewed, 8 in each group (pre-retired and retired professors), using semi-structured interviews that followed a script designed to discover the main aspects of the transition to retirement.

Findings

Three figurative cores were raised – the financial aspect, the centrality of work, and the will to continue contributing, and the unpreparedness for retirement – and testimonies have shown heterogeneous representations. The study observed that although relevant, the bonus for continued services is not the main determinant for professors to continue working in the university.

Originality/value

The results of this study indicate the need to treat retirement as a complex and multidimensional process, offering a fresh perspective on the social representations of retirement in the academic context. The use of the Social Representation Theory to explore these perspectives adds to the originality of the approach, highlighting the multifaceted nature of the retirement process in this specific professional group.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to investigate how the construct of digital citizenship is approached in the field of organizational studies.

Design/methodology/approach

A scoping review was conducted following the PRISMA-ScR recommendations. Six bibliographic databases were searched without time restrictions to identify primary studies that addressed the concept of digital citizenship and its biases in the field of organizational studies.

Findings

Twenty studies met the inclusion criteria. The results suggest that the field of organizational studies has not yet carried out an in-depth analysis of the topic. Research opportunities include understanding the meanings of digital citizenship from citizens' perspectives, examining differences between citizens' and government views on digital citizenship and exploring how organizational contexts impact digital citizenship practices.

Originality/value

The results provide a valuable effort to frame this topic in a field of knowledge that has an intrinsically interdisciplinary nature and evolves to understand increasingly complex organizational processes.
