Com a urgência da ação climática e a relevância dos empregos verdes, tendo como referência
o quadro de apoios à Investigação e Desenvolvimento e o cenário nacional, esta dissertação
produziu aprendizagens sobre o que poderá constituir um esquema de apoio à formação no
trabalho para empregos verdes, com base nas preferências do público-alvo, as Pequenas e Médias
Empresas Portuguesas. Através de um processo de investigação inovador, que combinou um
Discrete Choice Experiment e perguntas qualitativas, são medidas as preferências entre uma
dedução fiscal e uma subvenção, com os resultados a sugerir que a presença de uma dedução
fiscal pode ser um pouco mais relevante para os empresários quando comparada com uma
subvenção, num cenário em que as empresas não rentáveis seriam elegíveis para o incentivo
fiscal. As empresas também valorizaram muito a presença de uma Certificação de empregos
verdes e de um Selo de Excelência, mas as componentes de apoio à candidatura foram
consideradas as características mais relevantes, especialmente para as empresas mais pequenas e
mais experientes. Por sua vez, a burocracia da candidatura influencia fortemente a decisão de
candidatura a um esquema de apoio, independentemente da dimensão da empresa ou da
experiência com financiamento público de I&D. Os resultados também corroboram a relevância
dos apoios não financeiros para impulsionar as PME portuguesas a cumprirem as metas
ambientais, nomeadamente através da Consultoria para a criação de um ‘Plano de Empregos
Verdes’, apesar de muitas empresas já estarem a fazer esforços significativos para tornar as suas
operações e a sua força de trabalho mais ‘verdes’
With the urgency of climate action and the relevance of green jobs, using the framework of R&D support schemes and the national scenario as a reference, this dissertation provides insights on what could make up a support scheme for ‘on-the-job greening’, based on the preferences of the target public, Portuguese Small and Medium Enterprises. Through an innovative survey that combined a Discrete Choice Experiment and qualitative questions, preferences towards a tax deduction and a grant are measured, with results suggesting the presence of a tax deduction might be slightly more relevant for subjects when compared to a grant, in a scenario in which not profitable firms were not excluded from the fiscal incentive. Firms also highly valued the presence of a green jobs Certification and of a Seal of Excellence, but the application support components were deemed the most relevant scheme features, especially for the smaller and more experienced firms. In its turn, application paperwork strongly influences the decision to apply to a support scheme, regardless of firm size or experience with R&D public funding. Results also support the relevance of non-financial aid to propel Portuguese SME to meet environmental targets, namely through Consultancy for creating a ‘Green Jobs Plan’, even though many firms are already making solid efforts towards ‘greening’ their operations and their workforce.
