Resumo(s)
Com o crescimento da importância da Psicologia Positiva no mundo da Gestão de Pessoas, surgem diversos conceitos que ainda carecem de uma investigação mais aprofundada. Esta dissertação surge com o objectivo de investigar o optimismo num contexto organizacional, verificando o impacto deste na auto-eficácia de jovens em início de carreira e, posteriormente, explorar a possível relação entre o optimismo e os estágios profissionais. Para tal, recorreu-se a uma amostra de 98 participantes, de ambos os sexos, com idades compreendidas entre os 21 e os 30 anos. O optimismo foi medido através do questionário LOT-R, enquanto a auto-eficácia foi avaliada através da escala GSE. Os resultados indicam que existe uma diferença entre sexos na variável optimismo, onde os participantes do sexo masculino obtiveram resultados superiores. A relação entre optimismo e auto-eficácia também foi confirmada, uma vez que os participantes mais optimistas, também apresentaram índices de auto-eficácia superiores. Em termos dos resultados entre as variáveis optimismo e estágio profissional, não foram encontrados fundamentos estatisticamente relevantes. Contudo, este estudo contou com algumas limitações metodológicas, nomeadamente em termos de dimensão da amostra. Estas limitações serão discutidas no final da dissertação, paralelamente com algumas sugestões de investigações futuras que abordem esta última relação.
With the growing importance of Positive Psychology in the world of People Management, different concepts still needing a deeper investigation have emerged. This thesis has the purpose of investigating optimism in an organizational context, verifying the impact that optimism has on the self-efficacy of young people who are starting their careers and later to study the possible relationship between optimism and the professional traineeships. To accomplish that task, a sample of 98 participants, aged 21-30, both sexes, has been selected. Optimism has been measured through a LOT-R questionnaire, whereas the self-efficiency was evaluated through the GSE scale. The results show that there is a difference between sexes on the optimism variable, where the male participants got better results. The relation between optimism and self-efficiency was also confirmed, as the most optimistic participants also showed higher levels of self-efficiency. There couldn’t be found any relevant data that proves a relation between the optimism variable and the traineeships. However, this study had some methodological constraints, including the size of the sample; these constraints will be discussed by the end of this thesis, alongside with some suggestions of future studies of the relation mentioned above.
