Kudo Cards: The Art of Recognizing and Building Healthy Work Environments.

Gabardo-Martins, L.M.D., Louro, E.S. (2026). Kudo Cards: The Art of Recognizing and Building Healthy Work Environments. In: Carneiro, L.L., Neiva, E.R. (eds) Evidence-Based People Management. Springer, Cham. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-032-23630-2_14

The digital era has driven profound transformations in organizational paradigms, requiring companies to foster a culture of innovation to remain competitive in the marketplace. Management 3.0 employs techniques such as “Kudo Cards,” in which employees are encouraged to motivate themselves by writing positive feedback to one another, recognizing each other’s contributions and participation throughout productive cycles. This chapter aimed to contribute to organizational analysis and diagnosis, with an emphasis on the use of Kudo Cards as a management tool. Accordingly, it examined the effectiveness of Kudo Cards in variables such as job autonomy, feedback from supervisors and peers, supervisor support, and job satisfaction. Through a case study and a comparison of employees before and after the implementation of the technique, it was demonstrated that the use of Kudo Cards can improve the organizational climate by encouraging positive interactions. As a contribution, the chapter offers a practical model for implementing Kudo Cards, highlighting their impact on employee motivation and retention. It concludes that this technique not only strengthens a culture of recognition but can also serve as a strategic differentiator, enhancing employee satisfaction and, consequently, performance.

Psychometric Properties of the Work Autonomy Scale in the Brazilian Context

Silva Louro, E., Gabardo-Martins, L., dos Santos Costa Junior, C. E., & Dias Madureira Gurgel, K. S. (2026). Propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Autonomía en el Trabajo en el contexto brasileño. Ciencias Psicológicas, 20(1), e-4823. https://doi.org/10.22235/cp.v20i1.4823

Work autonomy is understood as the freedom of workersto manage the different aspects that involve carrying out their own tasks, such as scheduling, criteria, and work methods. In this sense, the objective of this study was to adapt and seek validity evidence of the Work Autonomy Scale in the Brazilian context. A total of 718 Brazilian workers participated, with ages ranging from 18 to 74 years. Confirmatory factor analysis evidenced that the structure that best fits the data was the second-order one. Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis attested invariance in the groups divided according to whether or not they occupy a supervisory position, and according to the response format (online or paper and pencil). Internal consistency indices were adequate. Finally, work autonomy showed positive correlations with job satisfaction and with affective organizational commitment. It is concluded that the scale meets psychometric criteria and is shown to be a useful instrument applicable in organizational analysis processes aimed at building more autonomous and productive work environments.

Additional evidence of the validity of the PERMA at Work Scale

GABARDO-MARTINS, Larissa Maria David et al. Additional evidence of the validity of the PERMA at Work Scale. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2026, vol.25, e24865. Epub 10-Abr-2026. ISSN 1677-0471. https://doi.org/10.15689/ap.2026.25.e24865

PERMA at work is conceptualized as the achievement of positive emotions, engagement, positive relationships, accomplishment, and meaning in the workplace. This study aimed to seek additional evidence of validity for the PERMA at Work Scale in the Brazilian context. The sample consisted of 568 workers of both sexes. Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicated that the 15-item model, divided into five first-order factors and one second-order factor, presented the best fit indices. Furthermore, the parameters of the PERMA at Work Scale items were found to be invariant across gender groups (male and female) and sector (public, private, and self-employed). Finally, positive and significant correlations were observed between PERMA at work and external variables, including job satisfaction, job engagement, and positive affect at work. The findings indicate that the instrument demonstrates adequate psychometric properties, supporting its use in future research on the topic.
