Resumo: Literature on people management focuses on large companies and therefore has given little attention to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This research  seeks to fill this gap by investigating the relationship between entrepreneur style and approaches to attracting people to SMEs. Therefore, a survey was conducted with 146 SMEs, testing a set of hypotheses by structural equations modeling. The results indicate that there is a relationship between the entrepreneur's style (transformational versus transactional) and the kinds of attributes (symbolic or instrumental) emphasized in attracting people. It was also observed that the bigger the company is, the less emphasis is given to symbolic factors. On the other hand, SMEs emphasize more symbolic factors of attraction than other segments. In addition, the results indicate that attraction approaches are more impacted by the entrepreneur's style than by the characteristics of the company/business (age, size, segment).

Esta pesquisa busca preencher essa lacuna, investigando a relação entre o estilo do empreendedor e as abordagens de atração de pessoas em PMEs. Para tanto, foi realizado um survey com 146 PMEs, testando um conjunto de hipóteses por meio de modelagem de equações estruturais. Os resultados indicam haver uma relação entre o estilo do empreendedor (transformacional versus transacional) e os tipos de atributos (simbólicos ou instrumentais) enfatizados na atração de pessoas. Também foi observado que quanto maior a empresa, menor ênfase é dada a fatores simbólicos. Já PMEs comerciais/varejo enfatizam mais fatores simbólicos de atração do que outros segmentos. Por outro lado, os resultados indicam que as abordagens de atração são mais impactadas pelo estilo do empreendedor em si, do que por características da empresa/negócio (idade, tamanho, segmento).ANEGEPE - Associação Nacional de Estudos em Empreendedorismo e Gestão de Pequenas Empresas2018-06-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.regepe.org.br/regepe/article/view/67210.14211/regepe.v7i2.672REGEPE Entrepreneurship and Small Business Journal; Vol. 7 No. 2 (2018): May/Aug.; 115-144REGEPE Entrepreneurship and Small Business Journal; Vol. 7 Núm. 2 (2018): mayo/ago.; 115-144REGEPE Entrepreneurship and Small Business Journal; v. 7 n. 2 (2018): maio/ago.; 115-1442965-1506reponame:Revista de Empreendedorismo e Gestão de Pequenas Empresas - REGEPEinstname:Associação Nacional de Estudos em Empreendedorismo e Gestão de Pequenas Empresas (ANEGEPE)instacron:ANEGEPEporhttps://www.regepe.org.br/regepe/article/view/672/pdfReis, Germano GlufkeFernandes, Bruno RochaNakata, Lina Eikoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-05-23T20:05:00Zoai:ojs.regepe.org.br:article/672Revistahttps://www.regepe.org.br/regepe/indexPRIhttps://www.regepe.org.br/regepe/oaieditorialregep@gmail.com2316-20582316-2058opendoar:2024-05-23T20:05Revista de Empreendedorismo e Gestão de Pequenas Empresas - REGEPE - Associação Nacional de Estudos em Empreendedorismo e Gestão de Pequenas Empresas (ANEGEPE)false
