Resumo(s)
A nossa vivência é altamente impactada pela presente conjuntura tecnológica e digital.
Esta realidade dinâmica e fluida influencia, entre outros contextos, o mundo do trabalho, que
está a evoluir rapidamente e a alimentar a criação e o desenvolvimento de novos tipos de
profissões e carreiras digitais. Pretendeu-se então explorar este tipo de profissões –
nomeadamente as ocupações de digital influencer e de fundador de start-up digital – através de
uma investigação qualitativa e exploratória que teve como objetivo compreender o efeito do
acaso e da iniciativa própria na construção destes percursos não tradicionais. Para além disso,
considerou-se pertinente analisar variáveis como as conceções de sucesso e as expectativas
relativas ao futuro destas atividades profissionais. A entrevista semiestruturada e subsequente
análise de conteúdo compõem a metodologia utilizada para estudar a amostra da investigação,
composta por 12 indivíduos adultos, portugueses e brasileiros, a exercerem a sua ocupação no
campo da influência digital e das start-ups digitais. A análise e discussão dos resultados
encontrados permitiu inferir que a casualidade planeada – o papel da ação e da iniciativa própria
– influenciou substancialmente o percurso deste grupo, que mostrou possuir atitudes e
competências úteis para tirar proveito de eventos não planeados e oportunidades. Foi
igualmente inferido que as conceções de sucesso pessoal reportadas vão simultaneamente
contra e a favor das conceções de sucesso percebidas como implícitas no contexto profissional
em que estão inseridos e que as expectativas de futuro reportadas vão ao encontro da ideia de
expansão e evolução digital.
Our existence is deeply impacted by present-day technology and digital setting. This dynamic, fluctuating reality affects plenty of aspects of our lives, such as the world of work, for example, which is quickly evolving and producing new types of jobs and careers. The purpose of this investigation was to study said kinds of job – namely digital influencers and digital start-up entrepreneurs – through a qualitative exploratory research that intended to understand how chance and personal initiative affected these non-traditional careers and occupations. It also felt relevant to analyze variables related to conceptions of success and future expectations regarding these professional activities. Data was collected through semistructured interviews and this data was later interpreted by conducting content analysis; the sample consisted of 12 adult individuals, of portuguese and brazilian nationality, working in the digital influence and digital start-up fields. The data analysis showed that planned happenstance – the role of initiative and action – has substantially influenced their careers and that these individuals possess a set of skills which have allowed them to take advantage of nonplanned events and opportunities. It was equally found that their personal conceptions of success go simultaneously in favor with and against contextual conceptions of success and that reported future job expectations align with the notion of digital growth and development.
