Resumo: | New technologies are increasingly appearing across all sectors. In healthcare, the implementation and growth of robotics is already a reality in several hospitals and is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years. Therefore, organizations have to prepare and rethink their human resources strategies and activities to cope with this new thematic. This qualitative case study focuses on understanding in what extent hospitals are or are not preparing their workforce for the implementation of robots. Through the combination of the existing literature and the interviews conducted, it was possible to identify that there is a clear distinction between the public and private sectors regarding the implementation and growth of robotics in the healthcare sector. While the private sector invests in training, reorganization of teams and creation of taskforces, the public sector does not have as a priority to rethink its human resources strategies and activities because the Public Ministry does not do or plan to do, in the short term, any kind of investment in robotics. Moreover, the fear of losing the human side with the patient allied to the fear of robots replacing human delays the implementation of robotics in hospitals. There are still some workers who are resilient to change and not very supporters of new technologies. This thesis aims to give recommendations to different stakeholders and identifies future opportunities to study the impact of robotics on the workforce. |

Na saúde, a implementação e o crescimento da robótica já é uma realidade em vários hospitais e prevê se que cresça exponencialmente nos próximos anos. Por isto, as organizações têm de preparar e repensar as suas estratégias e atividades de recursos humanos para fazerem face a esta nova temática. Este caso de estudo qualitativo foca-se em perceber até que ponto é que os hospitais estão ou não a preparar a sua força-de-trabalho para a implementação de robôs. Através da combinação da literatura existente e das entrevistas realizadas, foi possível identificar que existe uma clara distinção entre o setor pulico e o setor privado no que toca a implementação e crescimento da robótica no setor da saúde. Enquanto o setor privado investe em formação, reorganização das equipas e criação de taskforces, o setor publico não tem como prioridade repensar as suas estratégias e atividades de recursos humanos porque o Ministério Público não faz nem prevê fazer, no curto prazo de tempo, qualquer tipo de investimento em robótica. Ainda mais, o medo de se perder o lado humano com o paciente aliado ao medo dos robôs substituírem os humanos atrasa a implementação de robótica em hospitais. Ainda há alguns trabalhadores resilientes à mudança e pouco adeptos a novas tecnologias. Esta tese visa dar recomendações aos diferentes stakeholders e identifica futuras oportunidades de estudo do impacto da robótica na força de trabalho.Martins, HenriqueVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaCastro, Maria Francisca Cadillon Leite de2022-11-02T09:05:34Z2022-05-032022-042022-05-03T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/39219TID:203038444enginfo: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:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:44:43Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/39219Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:32:03.502568Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
