Resumo: | Objective: This study aimed to analyze the levels of organizational engagement and the relationship between engagement and sociodemographic variables in the higher education context. Engagement is a critical aspect of individual performance and a fundamental building block of organizational development. The way it is managed and its interrelationship with personal characteristics have been the area of development in several studies. Methods: The study was quantitative and had a cross-sectional nature through the application of a questionnaire survey to 127 non-teaching employees from a higher education institution. The questionnaire survey was validated, showing good psychometric qualities. Results: The hypotheses that systematized the specifications between the engagement components and the age, academic qualifications, and professional position variables have been confirmed in some of their various sub-alignments and can therefore be considered as determining how individuals are organizationally engaged. The hypotheses that guided the specifications between the engagement components and the gender and seniority variables were not confirmed; therefore, there was no relationship between them. Conclusions: The non-teaching employees are engaged in the institution, although with various levels anchored by some sociodemographic characteristics. It was a pioneering study in a national context between the distinct types of organizational engagement and sociodemographic variables in the higher education context. It contributed to the formulation of management strategies focused on organizational commitment, supporting the formulation of systems based on organizational behavior. |

O empenhamento é um aspeto crítico do desempenho individual e um alicerce fundamental do desenvolvimento das organizações. Como é gerido e a interrelação que estabelece com as caraterísticas pessoais tem sido área de desenvolvimento em vários estudos. Métodos: O estudo foi de natureza quantitativa e possuiu um corte transversal, através da aplicação de um inquérito por questionário a 127 trabalhadores não-docentes de uma instituição de ensino superior. O inquérito por questionário foi validado, apresentando boas qualidades psicométricas. Resultados: As hipóteses que sistematizaram as especificações entre as componentes do empenhamento e as variáveis idade, habilitações acadêmicas e categoria profissional foram confirmadas em algumas das suas várias subalíneas, revelando-se determinantes no modo como os indivíduos se encontram empenhados organizacionalmente. As hipóteses que orientaram as especificações entre as componentes do empenhamento e as variáveis gênero e antiguidade não foram confirmadas, não existindo relação entre elas. Conclusões: Os trabalhadores estão empenhados com a instituição, ainda que com níveis diferentes, os quais são ancorados por algumas caraterísticas sociodemográficas. Tratou-se de um estudo pioneiro em contexto nacional entre os diferentes tipos de empenhamento organizacional e as variáveis sociodemográficas, em contexto de ensino superior. Contribuiu para a formulação de estratégias de gestão focadas no empenhamento organizacional, apoiando a formulação de sistemas baseados no comportamento organizacional.Departamento de Investigação & Desenvolvimento do Instituto Superior Miguel Torga2022-10-02info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdftext/htmltext/xmlhttps://doi.org/10.31211/rpics.2022.8.2.263https://doi.org/10.31211/rpics.2022.8.2.263Portuguese Journal of Behavioral and Social Research; Vol. 8 No. 2 (2022): November; 1–19Revista Portuguesa de Investigação Comportamental e Social; Vol. 8 N.º 2 (2022): Novembro; 1–192183-4938reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/263https://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/263/510https://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/263/534https://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/263/516Direitos de Autor (c) 2022 João Pedro Cordeiro, Pedro Cunha, Abílio Afonso Lourenço (Autor)http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCordeiro, João PedroCunha, PedroAfonso Lourenço, Abílio2023-06-01T22:00:13Zoai:ojs.rpics.ismt.pt:article/263Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:39:49.060479Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
