Through a thematic review, this article aims to identify how an ecological approach contributes to the educational processes related to the practice of breastfeeding. Using the PICO process, a search was carried out for research articles published between 2010 and 2020 in various databases and specialized journals such as SCOPUS, Web of Science, Scielo, and Dialnet. The terms used were those standardized by the descriptors of health sciences in English and Spanish. The results yielded a total of 549 articles and, through filtering, 57 investigations on breastfeeding education with an ecological focus on women and their environments were selected and analyzed. These highlight the need to link support networks in this process and to improve training for institutions to strengthen the practice of breastfeeding for the newborn. Moreover, within the educational dynamics for the establishment of the practice, a methodological approach that includes the teachings of the structured concepts of the Ecological Model is pertinent.

Abstract. Connecting the social cognitive approach of human agency by Bandura (1997) and activity theory by Leontiev (1978) , this paper proposes a new theoretical framework for analyzing and understanding employee participation in organizational decision-making. Focusing on the social cognitive concepts of self-reactiveness, self-reflectiveness, intentionality, and forethought, commonalities, complementarities, and differences between both theories are explained. Efficacy in agency is conceived as a cognitive foundation of work motivation, whereas the mediation of societal requirements and resources through practical activity is conceptualized as an ecological approach to motivation. Additionally, we discuss to which degree collective objectifications can be understood as material indicators of employees’ collective efficacy. By way of example, we explore whether an integrated application of concepts from both theories promotes a clearer understanding of mechanisms connected to the practice of employee participation.
