Advisor(s)
Abstract(s)
Devido à escassez na literatura sobre o tema, procurou-se investigar o efeito
dos tipos de Personalidade nas Atitudes face ao Teletrabalho, juntamente com o efeito
moderador da variável Habilitações Literárias, sendo este um tema bastante importante
para as organizações nos tempos que decorrem.
O estudo contou com a participação voluntária de 253 indivíduos, 147 (58,3%)
do sexo feminino e 105 (41,7%) do sexo masculino, com idades compreendidas entre
os 13 e os 75 anos.
Utilizou-se a escala Atitudes face ao Teletrabalho (Telecommuting Attitudes
and the “Big Five” Personality Dimensions) de Clark, Karau, & Michalisin (2012) e
a versão portuguesa do Ten-Iten Personality Inventory (TIPI), de Nunes, Limpo, Lima
e Castro (2018).
De acordo com a primeira hipótese, os resultados confirmaram que a dimensão
Conscienciosidade tem um impacto significativo nas dimensões Malefícios e
Benefícios e a dimensão Extroversão apenas tem impacto na dimensão Benefícios.
Relativamente à segunda hipótese, verificou-se que as habilitações literárias apenas
moderam o efeito da Extroversão e da Estabilidade Emocional na dimensão
Malefícios, e na dimensão Benefícios o efeito somente é moderado pelas dimensões
Extroversão, Conscienciosidade e Abertura à Experiência.
Deparamo-nos com resultados que nos indicam que nos podemos estar a
defrontar com indivíduos com comportamentos contra produtivos no Teletrabalho e os
mesmos podem ser evitados se as organizações tomarem medidas antes de investirem
no modo de trabalho mais comum nos tempos de hoje.
Due to the scarcity of literature on the subject, we tried to investigate the effect of personality types on attitudes towards teleworking, along with the moderating effect of the variable Education, as this is a very important issue for organizations in the current times. The study had the voluntary participation of 253 individuals, 147 (58.3%) female and 105 (41.7%) male, aged between 13 and 75 years. The Telecommuting Attitudes and the "Big Five" Personality Dimensions scale by Clark, Karau, & Michalisin (2012) and the Portuguese version of the Ten-Iten Personality Inventory (TIPI) by Nunes, Limpo, Lima, and Castro (2018) were used. According to the first hypothesis, the results confirmed that the Conscientiousness dimension has a significant impact on the Challenges and Benefits dimensions and the Extroversion dimension only has an impact on the Benefits dimension. Regarding the second hypothesis, it was found that Academic Qualifications only moderates the effect of Extroversion and Emotional Stability in the Challenges dimension, and in the Benefits dimension the effect is only moderated by the Extroversion, Conscientiousness, and Openness to Experience dimensions. We are faced with results that indicate that we may be facing individuals with counterproductive behaviors in Telework and these can be avoided if organizations take measures before investing in the most common way of working nowadays.
