Abstract(s)
O presente estudo teve como objectivo primordial verificar qual o(s) perfil(is) motivacional(is), que segundo a Teoria da AutoDeterminação, está(ão) relacionado(s) com o comportamento de procura de emprego, bem como, se existem diferenças estatisticamente significativas associadas às variáveis “Sexo” e “Habilitações Literárias”.
Para elaboração do estudo, foram definidas 5 questões de investigação, cujas respostas provieram de um questionário disponibilizado a uma amostra de 205 participantes, dos quais 114 do sexo feminino e 91 do sexo masculino, com idades compreendidas entre os 21 e os 61 anos, com diferentes backgrounds e habilitações literárias e provenientes de diferentes sectores profissionais. Como condição para participação, estes terão procurado emprego, pelo menos uma vez.
Os resultados obtidos demonstram que não existem diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os indivíduos do sexo masculino e feminino, ao nível da variável Job Search Behavior, mas o mesmo não se passa com indivíduos com diferentes habilitações literárias.
No que diz respeito à relação entre as variáveis motivação e Job Search Behavior, todos os participantes, empregados ou desempregados, demonstraram proeminência na Motivação Externa Social e Amotivação, sendo que para os primeiros releva ainda a Motivação Identificada.
The main objective of this study is to verify which motivational profile(s) is(are) related to the Job Search Behavior and if there are any statistically significant differences related to the variables "Sex" and "Educational Qualifications", considering the Self-Determination Theory. For this purpose, 5 research questions were defined for which the answers came from a questionnaire made available to a sample of 205 participants, of which 114 were female and 91 were male, aged between 21 and 61 years old and with different backgrounds and from different professional sectors. As a condition, they would have to search for an employment at least once. The results obtained show that there are no statistically significant differences between male and female individuals at the level of the Job Search Behavior variable. Nonetheless, those differences are statistically significant for individuals with different educational qualifications. As for the relationship between motivation and Job Search Behavior, both employed and unemployed participants revealed a clear trend toward the External Social Motivation and Amotivation dimensions, as the former also lean to an Identified Motivation.
