If the usual was to build a career in a single company, nowadays individuals remain less and less time in the same organization. High turnover rates related to voluntary exit is a concern to organizations and human resources professionals. Thus, it becomes increasingly important to understand what leads individuals to decide for voluntary turnover, aiming not only to avoid financial loss, but also the knowledge that goes with them. Among the antecedents of outgoing intention, the main proxy for voluntary turnover, is the realization of personal values in the organisational environment, defined as the perception of achievement of the individual's motivational goals through the activities that he performs daily in the organization in which he is inserted. This study had the objective to analyze the contribution of perception of not realizing personal values in the organisational environment for the voluntary turnover itself. In order to explore the results obtained in previous studies, we opted for the qualitative approach. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with elements of the laddering method, considering professional trajectory and personal life aspects. It was selected a group of eight participants, aged between 27 and 39 years, who had experienced, at least twice, the voluntary exit in their professional trajectory and, who at the time of the interview, were inserted in technology companies. The categorical analysis of the data made it possible to inference the motivational types of Openness to Change and Self- Promotion - oriented to personal focus - as the most important for the group of participants. The perception of non-achievement of these same motivational types was present in the various decision-making processes of the interviewees, showing that the most important values contribute to the voluntary exits performed when professionals perceive that their motivational goals are not being fulfilled and visualize that other organizational environments may fulfill it.

The current economic scenery, with high competition level among market players, easy access to economic and financial information and increasing number of companies that went bankrupt in recent years, changed the investors behavior and the decisive factors of investment targets. Nowadays, to mitigate these risks, shareholders became more concerned to long-term analysis and in this context arise the new concept of socially responsible companies, those that are sustainable and profitable to shareholders, even though this idea is also shared by BM&FBovespa it is not supported by current researches. This research aims to compare the probability of insolvency of corporations that make up the Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) and others traded on BM&FBovespa. The research was done in two different moments: model creation and model application to a controlled group. The model used the insolvent and solvent companies from 2006 up to 2011 and established annual equations to calculate the probability of insolvency. Applying the model it was possible to identify the corporations probability of insolvency that belong to the ISE. The results of this study allowed to confirm based on the average probability of insolvency that ISE´s companies have less default chances if compared with sector correspondents traded in the stock market.

This paper aims to study the usage of American TV series in English as a foreign language classes through the gathering of chunks of language. Though we start this dissertation from the description of the communicative and its innovative principles by presenting the communicative competence and its four divisions strategic, grammatical, discursive and sociolinguistic based on researches like Hymes (1972), Brown (2000), Richards (2006), Richards e Roberts (1986) and Savignon (1983; 1991). Besides we describe the importance of the realia in a communicative class. As well as we discuss the lesson of the communicative approach and the four abilities reading, writing, speaking and listening. Still talking about the communicative lesson we discuss about teaching grammar, vocabulary and culture. The choice of using TV series is justified because they are a rich source both linguistic and cultural of the English language (North American) and we can find a plenty of examples chunks of language, collocations, phrasal verbs, and idioms. In our analysis we gathered not only the linguistics but also the cultural references of the first episode of Gilmore Girls by using software known as Unitex® that searches the chunks in the script selected and finally we propose some activities based on the analysis.

The motivation proposition for learning has received great notoriety in several academic studies in the last years. On the other hand, there is practically no research on motivation in the population of youth and adult education students. In this perspective, this study presented three objectives: 1 - To describe the school and motivation profile of the AEJA Mackenzie School students, 2 - To verify if the history and the current school profile of these students have association with their academic performance, and 3 - To verify if the motivation for the study of EJA students is related to their academic performance. For the research, this last item is considered as a factor of greater relevance. Through an approach that follows the design of a quantitative descriptive cross-sectional study, we evaluated 87 students from Elementary Education I and II of the AEJA Mackenzie School of Youth and Adult Education. As data collection instruments, four structured questionnaires were used: (1) the Assessment Scale of Motivation to Learn for University Students (EMA-U) with the function of characterizing the type of motivation of the EJA students before learning; (2) Social Questionnaire with data on the socioeconomic profile and issues related to the previous and current school experience of the EJA students; (3) The 3rd version of the Wechsler Abbreviated Intelligence Scale (WASI III) for intelligence quotient measurement; and (4) Data provided by AEJA Mackenzie on academic performance and avoidance. After analyzing the results, in characterizing the students profile, it was verified that the reasons for leaving school are not related to the lack of interest in the studies, since 64.4% stopped studying because they needed to work. As to the reasons for resuming studies at the EJA, there was a predominance of the category "desire to learn to read and write", with the result 47.1% of respondents. Two aspects evaluated regarding childhood school history were associated with the better current performance of adults in EJA: those who learned to read and write as a child (CR: 3.57, 95% CI: 1.47-8, 68) and those whose parents encouraged studies during childhood (CR: 3.24; 95% CI: 1.33 -7.90). The main hypothesis of the study was not proven, since there were no statistically significant associations between motivation as a consequence of academic performance (computed in 2016, p = 0.79) nor as a predictor of performance (analyzed in 2017, p = 0.37 ). Some limitations arose in the accomplishment of this research, which could have compromised the results, namely: the small sample size, short procedure time in the collection and application of the instruments and the use of the EMA-U Scale for the first time with the public of the EJA. It is hoped that this material inspires further research with the recommendation that new research be conducted on larger samples to measure results for a better understanding of the motivation effects on academic performance in the EJA

Recent research suggests that men have an overconfidence bias more exacerbated than women, making that men s trading in financial markets are more frequent and the excessive trading leads to lower returns than the yields obtained by women. Therefore this research seeks to answer the following questions: Men trade more than women? That excessive trading that men have leads to lower returns? The methodology applied in this dissertation is the quantitative causal, which seeks to explain why certain individuals have better returns on investment funds than others. This analysis is made using information from a large European bank, with massive presence in Brazil. The results of the trading behavior analysis shows that the average investment return from fund holders is positively affected in the income since they will have access to funds with lower management fees.
