RESUMEN
O presente trabalho analisa a pesquisa brasileira sobre mudanças nas organizações, no âmbito do micro comportamento organizacional. O período investigado foi de 1996 a 2007. O foco dessas pesquisas foi em percepções e crenças dos membros das organizações sobre essas mudanças e nas conseqüências das mesmas para esses membros. Os artigos incluídos na análise necessitavam ser baseados em coletas de dados feitas no Brasil e ter seu objeto de estudo claramente enunciado. Foi utilizado o julgamento de pares de juízes, com base num sistema padronizado, previamente desenvolvido e já descrito na literatura, de análise e categorização de investigações empíricas sobre micro comportamento organizacional. Foram encontrados 23 artigos. Os resultados indicaram que não há uma linha de pesquisa nacional na área e que as principais variáveis estudadas foram: cultura, poder e processos psicológicos, comunicação e gestão de pessoas na compreensão da mudança organizacional. A partir das lacunas encontradas, é proposta uma agenda de pesquisa que sugere, dentre outras coisas, a construção de instrumentos de medida e mais pesquisas sobre cultura e poder(AU)
The present text analyses the Brazilian research on organizational change, in the context of micro organizational behavior, between 1996 and 2007. The focus was on perception and believes of organizational members about these changes and on their consequences for these members. The criterion for inclusion of the articles in the analysis was that they reported data collection made in Brazil, with a clear statement of their intended aim. They were analyzed by pairs of judges, based on a standardized system which had been previously developed and has been already described for the review of micro organizational behavior. The results, based on 23 articles, show that there is not a clear national research line in this area. The major variables that have been studied on organizational change are: culture, power and psychological processes, communication and personnel management. Based on the gaps which have been found, a research agenda is proposed. It suggests, among other things, the construction of measurement instruments and more research related to culture and power(AU)

International study of drug use and HIV derives much of its value from affording investigators opportunities to compare similar behaviors in contrasting cultural contexts. In these contrasting cultural contexts, people entrusted with conducting police work and minimizing crime have ways of conducting their business that may or may not interfere with research on illegal or socially disapproved behaviors. Two cases illustrate interactions between well-meaning researchers and local authorities. In both, investigations benefited from having laid groundwork for local endorsement of study activities. Research on marijuana smoking in Costa Rica enjoyed strong cooperation from the Ministry of Health, but not so strong from the Ministry of Security because of a fledgling office of Narcotics. Studies of HIV risk among injecting drug users (IDUs) in Valencia, Spain, encountered no problems with police but noted dangers of low drug enforcement. Five principles of preparing for international research may help investigators to anticipate some varieties of contextual obstructions to research outside the United States.
