Resumo: | To strive in today’s challenging, fast-paced and constantly changing environment, organizations need to put employees at the core of their business, as people are a fundamental asset and can either boost or damage a company. It is in this line of thought that the concept of Work Engagement has been developing and gaining more attention, since engaged employees exhibit an effective and energetic connection with their work which makes them more resilient, involved and absorbed in their tasks. This empirical study aims at understanding how the individual’s dispositional traits, conceptualized in the Big Five model – Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism and Openness to Experience - impact Work Engagement, in particular within the Portuguese context. Moreover, it also frames the concept of International Experience as a moderator variable between the positive relationship of Openness to Experience and Work Engagement. Firstly, the results indicate that some of the individual traits of the Big Five model have impact on Work Engagement, namely, Extraversion, Conscientiousness and Openness to Experience have a positive relation while Neuroticism has a negative relation. Secondly, it proves the positive impact of International Experience on Openness to Experience but it does not validate the extension of that relationship with Work Engagement. |

É nesta linha de pensamento que o conceito de Envolvimento no Trabalho se tem vindo a desenvolver e a ganhar cada vez mais atenção, já que colaboradores envolvidos no seu trabalho possuem uma conexão mais eficiente e energética com as suas funções tornando-se assim mais resilientes, envolvidos e absorvidos nas suas tarefas. Este estudo pretende compreender como é que os traços de personalidade, conceptualizados no Modelo dos Cinco Fatores – Extraversão, Amabilidade, Conscienciosidade, Neuroticismo e Abertura à Experiência – se relacionam com o Envolvimento no Trabalho, em particular no contexto Português. Para além disso, este estudo coloca também o conceito de Experiência Internacional como variável moderadora da relação positiva entre Abertura à Experiência e Envolvimento no Trabalho. Primeiramente, os resultados indicam que alguns dos traços de personalidade do Modelo dos Cinco Fatores estão relacionados com o Envolvimento no Trabalho, mais precisamente, Extraversão, Conscienciosidade e Abertura à Experiência têm uma relação positiva enquanto Neuroticismo tem uma relação negativa. Em segundo lugar, confirma o impacto positivo da Experiência Internacional na Abertura à Experiência mas não valida que esse impacto na relação com o Envolvimento no Trabalho.Oliveira, Maria Teresa Vieira deVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaGulamali, Danisha Ismail2017-08-02T13:01:12Z2017-07-2620172017-07-26T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/22733TID:201725371enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:28:58Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/22733Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:18:53.885996Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
