Resumo: | The aim of this research is to evaluate the effect of working individually or integrated in a team on stress, commitment and motivation. Moreover, it also addresses the idea of Generations as a moderator variable between the previous relationship. Data was collected from 179 respondents using a questionnaire. Results of the main effect analysis showed that the relationship between the type of work and the variables stress, motivation and commitment was not significant, which is in line with the theoretical concepts from previous literature where a direct effect is not supported. As for the moderation effect, the results were also non significant, showing that Generations do not play any interaction on the variables under research. The non-significance of the results might be explained by the non-linearity in terms of how individuals react to teamwork and individual work, with everyone responding in a different way, being hard to predict human beings’ behavior when facing both situations. Furthermore, experience bias should also be considered, with individuals taking their perception as being the objective truth, relying on past experiences to form an opinion. This study adds to the existing literature by supporting the theoretical concepts with empirical findings, as well as introducing the moderation effect of Generations, which even though not supported, creates a baseline for further research. |

Além disso, também enquadra o conceito de Gerações como uma variável moderadora entre as relações anteriores. Os dados foram recolhidos de 179 inquiridos por meio de um questionário. Os resultados da análise do efeito principal mostram que a relação entre o tipo de trabalho e as variáveis stress, motivação e empenho não é significativa, estando de acordo com os conceitos teóricos da literatura anterior na qual um efeito direto não é suportado. Quanto ao efeito da moderação, os resultados também não foram significativos, mostrando que as Gerações não desempenham qualquer interação sobre as variáveis em análise. A não significância dos resultados pode ser explicada pela não linearidade na reação dos indivíduos ao trabalho em equipa e ao trabalho individual, sendo difícil prever o comportamento dos seres humanos quando confrontados com ambas as situações. Deve também ser considerada a parcialidade das experiências, com os indivíduos a adotarem a sua perceção como sendo a verdade objetiva, baseando-se em experiências passadas para formar uma opinião. Este estudo reforça a literatura existente, suportando os conceitos teóricos com dados empíricos, assim como introduzindo o efeito da moderação das Gerações que, embora não sustentado, cria uma base para próximos estudos.Yao, JingxianVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaSilva, Vasco Miguel Gonçalves2022-09-16T10:51:35Z2022-05-032022-032022-05-03T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/38916TID:203038398enginfo: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:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:44:24Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/38916Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:31:47.391062Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
