| dc.description.abstract | Extensive literature has focused on the way organizations cope with paradoxes. The purpose of this research is to assess the different aspects that affect the way managers deal with paradoxes at an individual level. This knowledge provides organizations with the tools to promote paradoxical management, while nurturing their employees to the best of their managing abilities. Twenty-five managers were interviewed, of which thirteen were Dutch and twelve Portuguese. The analysis resulted in five great impactors: professional skills, coping mechanisms, reflexive self-management, experience and reflexivity processes. Cultural differences were found only when considering the role of family as a stress reliever. | pt_PT |
