Advisor(s)
Abstract(s)
Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar o impacto que um estilo de liderança ético pode ter sobre o desempenho percecionado dos colaboradores assim como nos comportamentos proativos dos mesmos. Deste modo, para além de medir estas relações, pretendeu-se também verificar o efeito mediador dos comportamentos proativos.
A amostra é composta por 241 participantes, de nacionalidade portuguesa e como idades compreendidas entre os 21 e os 65 anos. Para medir as variáveis foram utilizados três instrumentos: a escala de Comportamentos Proativos nas Organizações, de Kamia e Porto (2009), a Ethical Leadership Scale desenvolvida por Brown et al. (2005) e a escala adaptada de Williams e Anderson (1991), Self-Rated Performance.
Os resultados revelaram que, a Liderança ética tem um impacto significativo no Desempenho e nos Comportamentos Proativos, isto é, quando os participantes percecionam a sua chefia como ética percecionam igualmente o seu desempenho como mais elevado e afirmam ter mais comportamentos proativos. Verificou-se ainda o efeito mediador dos Comportamentos Proativos na relação entre a Liderança Ética e o Desempenho Percecionado.
