I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the achievement of this Master Thesis. They helped me grow up as a student and as a person too, once this experience was a huge source of self-fulfillment, knowledge and personal enrichment. To Professor Aristides Ferreira for his research spirit and pragmatism, for being patient and encourage me to go beyond my own expectations. I thank him for all the confidence he gave me since the beginning, the autonomy he provided me and for his precious advice. To Companies that collaborated in this investigation, allowing the participation of their employees. I am also really grateful to all the people who had the kindness of participating in this study, becoming it possible. To all my friends and family for their incentive. However, some of them deserve a special word of appreciation. To my mom, for all her support and for always encouraging me to pursuit my dreams. For believing in me, even when I didn’t. To Ângela, for being my best friend and for all her patience. To Andreia for listening to me in every moments and for being a real friend. To Serafim, for reminding me every day that I would be able to reach this objective. For his friendship and for his humor, which eased the most difficult moments of this journey. And last but not the least, to Hélder, for being my safe haven, my best friend, my most faithful critic. For never have letting me give up and for understanding all my necessary absences. I am really grateful for all his love, friendship and unconditional support.
