Resumo: | The goal of this thesis is to identify Portuguese cultural standards from the perspective of Austrian culture. The Cultural Standards Method is based on interviews of members of one culture who have extended working experience in a different culture.This method, based on a qualitative research approach, tries to identify cultural differences at a more subtle level when compared to more traditional methods such as cultural dimensions. The research comprised three main phases: narrativeinterviews with Austrians in the sample group; content analysis of the critical incidents described during the narrative interviews and the identification of cultural standards. The finalcultural standards elected are those which were more often mentioned by the majority of the interviewees and later on confirmed through the feedback received from the intervieweestogether with a third party. The Portuguese cultural standards identified through the interviews with twenty Austrians are: Fluid Time Management, Relaxed Attitude towards Professional Performance, Importance of Social Relations, Bureaucracy and Slow Decision Making Processes, Indirect Communication Style and Flexible Planning and Organisational Skills. |

O Método dos Standards Culturais baseia-se em entrevistas a membros de uma cultura que apresentem vasta experiência de trabalho numa cultura diferente. Esta metodologia, baseada numa pesquisa com uma abordagem qualitativa, tenta identificar diferenças culturais a um nível mais subtil quando comparada com métodos maistradicionais como por exemplo o das dimensões culturais. A investigação compreendeu três fases principais: entrevistas narrativas com vinte austríacos com experiência de vida e trabalho em Portugal; análise de conteúdo dos incidentes críticos descritos durante as entrevistas narrativas e identificação dos standards culturais. Os standards culturais seleccionados são aqueles que foram referidos com mais frequência pela maioria dos entrevistados e posteriormente confirmados através do feedbackrecebido por parte dos entrevistados juntamente com o de mais duas pessoasnão envolvidas na primeira fase da pesquisa. Os standards culturais portugueses identificados através de entrevistas com austríacos são: Gestão Fluida do Tempo, Atitude Descontraída no quetoca ao Desempenho Profissional, Importância das Relações Sociais, Burocracia e Processos de Decisão Lentos, Estilo de Comunicação Indirecta e por último Flexibilidade dePlaneamento e Capacidade de Organização.2012-09-06T09:22:54Z2010-01-01T00:00:00Z20102010-05info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfapplication/octet-streamhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/3799engDurão, Inês Cravadorinfo: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:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:38:57Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/3799Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:17:52.867929Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
