Resumo

Objetivo. Investigar o efeito do scanning ambiental na relação entre os factores individuais e organizacionais e o uso da informação pelos gestores de publicações electrónicas.

Método. A presente investigação é totalmente prática. O método analítico de inquérito foi aplicado a 152 gestores activos na indústria da edição eletrónica. Os dados foram recolhidos através de um questionário elaborado pelo investigador.

Resultados. Os resultados médios indicam que os factores individuais (sensibilização para a informação = 16,21 e divulgação da informação = 7,039), os factores organizacionais (clima de informação = 7,105 e atenção externa = 9,96), o valor T da análise ambiental (50,197) e a utilização da informação (62,92) estão acima do nível médio. A análise e a explicação dos resultados neste caso revelam que, após a imposição de um mediador, o valor β foi alterado subsequentemente de (β=0,576) e (β=0,0383) para (β =0,267) e (β=0,341). Isto significa e reforça o efeito trivial mas crucial do mediador.

Conclusões. As atitudes positivas em relação às actividades baseadas na informação, a interação intermitente com peritos com antecedentes e recursos informativos elevados e enriquecidos, a quantidade de acesso condicional e organizacional à informação e, por último, a ação recíproca com o ambiente têm um grande impacto na quantidade de exploração do ambiente e na informação a que os gestores recorrem.
