The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of organizational cynicism on prosocial voice and defensive silence and to verify the mediating role of workplace bullying in these relationships.

A cross-sectional survey design with a sample of 205 individuals was used in this study.

The hypotheses were confirmed as organizational cynicism plays a significant and negative influence on prosocial voice and a significant and positive influence on defensive silence. In addition, workplace bullying partially mediates both relationships.

This study contributes to a deeper understanding of organizational cynicism and workplace bullying influences on prosocial voice and defensive silence. It investigates a relationship that, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, has not been studied yet. It also contributes to the discussion regarding the close relationship between prosocial voice and defensive silence.

The recent workplace dynamics era allowed many organizations to adopt the hybrid working model. However, despite the growing relevance of telework for diverse outcomes, few studies have explored hybrid work. Therefore, this research was based on the role theory and the job demands-resources model to develop a conceptual model arguing that hybrid work may potentially influence employees’ life harmony and mental health through decreases in work–family conflict. Moreover, answering the call for more studies on the role of families with pets regarding work-life boundaries, it is also proposed that hybrid work may potentially influence employees’ harmony and mental health through decreases in work–[pet]family conflict.

To achieve this objective, two studies were conducted. The first was a two-wave study carried out in 2023, involving 376 hybrid workers who completed two online surveys. The second study, also two-wave, was conducted in 2024 and included 479 working adults who participated in the research through online data collection.

The findings of the first study showed that individuals working in a hybrid model tended to experience less work–family conflict, consequently increasing their harmony and mental health. The second study also evidenced that those working in a hybrid modality had higher levels of harmony in life and mental health due to decreases in their work–[pet]family conflict.

The results highlight the importance of this working modality for employees’ mental health and well-being. Plus, it also opens future venues for research regarding work–[pet]family conflict, as it appears to be a relevant construct for modern families and younger generations of working adults.

This study aims to analyze the current state of entrepreneurship research in Latin America based on data from the Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Student’s Survey (GUESSS) project, to map its usage in publications in this context.

The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) protocol was employed for the systematic literature review. A total of 23 empirical studies published from 2015 to 2023 were included. Furthermore, it suggests directions for future research by utilizing the structuring of theories, contexts and methodologies (TCM) identified in the analyzed articles.

Factors related to individuals, the university environment and the family influence the outcomes; the theory of planned behavior (TPB) was the most commonly employed. Additionally, there is a gap in comparative approaches between countries.

This study identifies a gap in research using GUESSS data specific to Latin America, suggesting the need for further exploration of these data. By integrating the PRISMA protocol with the TCM framework, the study provides structured analyses and syntheses that reduce knowledge fragmentation.

This study discusses the factors influencing entrepreneurship among Latin American university students, providing insights for policymakers, managers and educational institutions.

The current state of results in studies using GUESSS data from several Latin American countries is presented.

Este estudio analiza el estado actual de la investigación sobre emprendimiento en América Latina basado en los datos del proyecto GUESSS, con el fin de mapear su uso en publicaciones en este contexto.

Se utilizó el protocolo Preferred Reporting PRISMA para realizar una revisión sistemática de la literatura, que incluyó 23 estudios empíricos publicados entre 2015 y 2023. Además, se sugieren orientaciones para futuras investigaciones, utilizando la estructuración de Teorías, Contextos y Metodologías (TCM) identificados en los artículos analizados.

Los factores relacionados con los individuos, el entorno universitario y familiar influyen en los resultados; la Teoría del Comportamiento Planeado (TCP) fue la más utilizada. Además, existe una brecha en los enfoques comparativos entre países.

Este estudio identifica una brecha en la investigación con datos específicos de América Latina de la base GUESSS, sugiriendo la necesidad de explorar más estos datos. Al integrar el protocolo PRISMA con el marco TCM, el estudio presenta análisis estructurados y síntesis que reducen la fragmentación del conocimiento.

Se presenta el estado actual de los resultados en estudios que utilizan datos del GUESSS de varios países de América Latina.

Este estudio analiza los factores que influyen en el emprendimiento entre los estudiantes universitarios latinoamericanos, ofreciendo ideas para formuladores de políticas públicas, gerentes e instituciones educativas.
