- GILM's multistakeholder model for media literacy in PortugalPublication . Bonacho, Fernanda; Rasgado, SofiaIn Portugal, the Informal Group on Media Literacy (GILM) represents a unique multistakeholder approach to fostering media literacy. For over 15 years, GILM has brought together an alliance of stakeholders from diverse sectors—including education, regulation, and media—to collectively enhance the public's media literacy. This session will delve into GILM's collaborative workings, emphasizing its strategy of pooling resources and expertise to promote media literacy across all societal strata. We will unpack how GILM operates without a centralized hierarchy, how it upholds the autonomy of its members, and how it fosters regular interaction through monthly meetings and working groups. There will be a discussion about how it responds to the challenges that media literacy assumes today as one of the key literacies for empowering all citizens. Ethics and technology, the fight against online misinformation and hate speech, algorithms and social media, digital transformation and public policies have been some of the issues brought to the public debate by GILM. The session will also reflect on GILM's notable initiatives like the Literacy, Media and Citizenship Congress and "7 Days with the Media," and discuss the group’s role on the new strategy for a National Media Literacy Plan.
- Work overload, work-life balance and auditors' turnover intention: the moderating role of motivationPublication . Alves, Iryna; Limão, Miguel; Lourenço, Sofia M.Auditor turnover remains a persistent concern for regulatory bodies and auditing firms. Past research on auditors’ turnover intention has explored various factors influencing auditors’ turnover intention, including job satisfaction, organisational commitment, work overload and work–life balance. However, the potential role of motivation in mitigating the adverse effects of work overload and work–life imbalance has been overlooked. Our study addresses this gap in the existing literature by revealing the crucial role of motivation and identifying differences between Big4 and Non-Big4 firms. Using questionnaire data from 301 auditors, analysed using structural equation modelling, we find that work overload is positively but indirectly related to turnover intention via work–life balance. Additionally, organisational commitment (job satisfaction) is directly (indirectly) and negatively related to turnover intention. Moreover, and considering that, due to work overload, a lack of work–life balance can be responsible for increasing auditors’ turnover intention, our study suggests that motivation can mitigate this effect. Finally, our study suggests that work–life balance can directly reduce turnover intention for Big4 firms, while for Non-Big4 firms this reduction can only occur via organisational commitment (a channel that is weaker for Big4 firms).
