Abstract(s)
O presente estudo teve como principal objetivo investigar em que medida algumas características individuais e do trabalho podem influenciar o desempenho adaptativo dos colaboradores. Com a crescente globalização e evolução das novas tecnologias, as organizações têm vindo a tornar-se cada vez mais dinâmicas e complexas, o que exige dos colaboradores competências adaptativas, para lidarem mais eficazmente com os novos contextos em mudança. Desta forma, importa compreender como os colaboradores percecionam o seu desempenho adaptativo e como este pode ser influenciado pelas características individuais e do trabalho, nomeadamente pela autoeficácia e pela autonomia. Neste estudo, considerou-se igualmente importante averiguar o papel que a satisfação no trabalho podia desempenhar na relação entre a autoeficácia, a autonomia e o desempenho adaptativo dos colaboradores.
Os dados foram recolhidos através de um inquérito online, que foi respondido por 312 participantes.
Os resultados obtidos suportaram as hipóteses do estudo, revelando que a autoeficácia e a autonomia influenciam positivamente o desempenho adaptativo dos colaboradores. Verificou-se, ainda, que essas relações são parcialmente mediadas pela satisfação no trabalho.
A nível teórico, os resultados do presente estudo permitem contribuir para um conhecimento mais aprofundado do desempenho adaptativo, e a nível prático fornecem pistas de ação e intervenções úteis para as organizações que pretendem promover essa dimensão do desempenho nos seus colaboradores.
The main goal of the present study is to investigate how certain individual and work characteristics can influence employee’s adaptive performance. With the growing globalization and evolution of the new technologies, organizations are becoming more dynamic, and complex, which requires employees to develop adaptive skills, to work effectively with the new context of these changes. Therefore, it is important to comprehend how employees perceive their own adaptive performance and how this type of performance can be influenced by individual and work characteristics, namely self-efficacy and autonomy. In this investigation, it was also considered important to ascertain the role that job satisfaction could play in the relationship between self-efficacy, autonomy, and employees’ adaptive performance. The data was collected through an online survey, which was answered by 312 participants. The obtained results supported the hypotheses, revealing that self-efficacy and autonomy positively influence adaptive performance. It was also found that these relationships are partially mediated by job satisfaction. At a theoretical level, the results of the present study contribute to a more in-depth knowledge of adaptive performance and at a practical level, also provides clues of action and useful interventions for organizations that intend to promote this dimension of performance on their employees.
