Abstract(s)
Este estudo pretende ser uma pequena mostra daquilo que é tendencialmente o posicionamento da sociedade da Guiné-Bissau face a problemática da Confiança nas Instituições, tendo em conta os Valores Culturais desta mesma sociedade. É sustentado pelo estudo do Hofstede e Minkov e suportado pela Tese de Doutoramento do Doutor Paulo Finuras.
A amostra do estudo é constituída por 112 participantes, de nacionalidade guineense, que residem e trabalham nas várias instituições da República da Guiné-Bissau e, cujas idades variam entre 25 e 59 anos, de ambos os sexos, sendo que em termos percentuais são 47,3% masculino contra 52,7% feminino.
Com este estudo, traçou-se dois objetivos: primeiro consiste em situar o perfil cultural da Guiné-Bissau nas 7 dimensões de Hofstede e Minkov, e medir o grau de confiança dos cidadãos nas instituições; segundo, analisar qual a relação entre os valores culturais e o nível de confiança nas instituições.
Quanto à metodologia, procedeu-se a análise dos dados considerando os métodos qualitativos e quantitativos, designadamente análise fatorial e regressão linear simples. Os resultados revelam uma tendência para uma maior confiança dos guineenses nas instituições privadas, enquanto classificavam negativamente as instituições públicas, as de caráter judicial e política social, coincidindo com o que Paulo Finuras (Finuras, 2013) encontrou nos outros países africanos lusófonos que estudou, com a agravante de que, no caso da Guiné, as instituições mais penalizadas são as forças armadas e presidente da república.
Tal como o Finuras, confirmaram-se algumas hipóteses formuladas nomeadamente a H1 e H2.
This study intends to be a small sample of what is the tendency of the society of Guinea-Bissau to face the issue of Trust in Institutions, taking into account the Cultural Values of that same society. It is supported by the study by Hofstede and Minkov and supported by the Doctoral Thesis of Doctor Paulo Finuras. The study sample consists of 112 participants, of Guinean nationality, who live and work in the various institutions of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau and, whose ages vary between 25 and 59 years, of both sexes, and in percentage terms are 47, 3% male versus 52.7% female. With this study, two objectives were outlined: firstly, it consists of placing the cultural profile of Guinea-Bissau in the 7 dimensions of Hofstede and Minkov, and measuring the degree of citizens' trust in institutions; secondly, to analyze the relationship between cultural values and the level of trust in institutions. As for the methodology, data analysis was carried out considering the qualitative and quantitative methods, particularly factor analysis and simple linear regression. The results reveal a tendency for greater confidence of Guineans in private institutions, while negatively classifying public institutions, those of a judicial nature and social policy, as Finuras found in the other Portuguese-speaking African countries he studied, with the aggravating factor that, in the case of Guinea-Bissau, the most penalized institutions are the armed forces and president of the republic. Like Finuras, some hypotheses formulated, namely H1 and H2, were confirmed.
