Resumo: | Today’s businesses world is characterized by its constant rapidly changing environment, facing a very competitive economic context, making it crucial for business success to understand, timely, what drives its results, namely its performance. Organizational performance may be affected by a several number of variables and the understandment of these variables is decisive for business management. Therefore, this research aims to address and measure organizational performance, understanding if and how much it is influenced by organizational culture, specifically by its types, in case clan culture, adhocracy culture, hierarchy culture and market culture, as well as if employee work engagement mediates the mentioned relationship. That is accomplished through formulation and testing of four research hypotheses. For that purpose we applied a questionnaire, preceded by a pre-test procedure, to a sample composed by security professionals, receiving a total of 629 valid answers, aiming to measure organizational culture through the application of FOCUS questionnaire, based on the competing values framework, as well as employee work engagement through UWES questionnaire and organizational performance through a perceptual organizational performance questionnaire. Our results evidence that more than one organizational culture type positively and significantly influences both organizational performance and employee work engagement, as well as that employee work engagement partially mediates the influence of all organizational culture types on organizational performance. |

A performance organizacional pode ser afetada por várias variáveis e o entendimento destas é decisivo para a gestão de empresas. Assim sendo, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo abordar e medir a performance organizacional, bem como perceber se e quanto esta é influenciada pela cultura organizacional, especificamente pelas suas tipologias, no caso a cultura de clã, a cultura de adhocracia, a cultura hierárquica e a cultura de mercado, bem como se o engagement1 dos funcionários medeia a referida relação. Isso será concretizado através da formulação e verificação de quatro hipóteses de investigação. Com esse propósito, aplicámos um questionário, precedido por um procedimento de pré-teste, a uma amostra constituída por profissionais de segurança, tendo recebido um total de 629 respostas válidas, com o objetivo de medir a cultura organizacional através da aplicação do questionário FOCUS, baseado no modelo de valores competitivos, bem como o engagement dos funcionários através do questionário UWES e a performance organizacional por via de um questionário de performance organizacional percecionada. Os nossos resultados evidenciam que mais que uma tipologia de cultura organizacional influencia positiva e significativamente a performance organizacional e o engagement dos funcionários bem como que o engagement dos funcionários medeia parcialmente a influência de todas as tipologias de cultura organizacional na performance organizacional.2022-12-19T00:00:00Z2019-12-20T00:00:00Z2019-12-202019-10info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/19745TID:202371026engRodrigues, André Filipe Geraldes Barba Fernandesinfo: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:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:59:16Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/19745Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:31:05.554803Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
