Abstract(s)
O desenvolvimento dos sistemas de saúde é uma ação prioritária e os enfermeiros assumem um papel fundamental na definição de padrões dos cuidados prestados. Alias, os enfermeiros correspondem ao maior grupo profissional dentro das organizações de saúde. Neste contexto, as organizações de saúde devem promover um ambiente favorecedor do desenvolvimento profissional dos enfermeiros com vista ao empreendedorismo coletivo dos mesmos em prol dos cuidados prestados aos utentes. Nas últimas décadas tem-se assistido a uma crescente popularidade do estudo da liderança e do empreendedorismo coletivo. Este interesse surge pela sua associação a variáveis consideradas potenciadoras da produtividade e eficácia organizacional. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo consistiu em compreender o papel da liderança no empreendedorismo coletivo dos profissionais de saúde e qual a influência que os fatores comportamentais (compromisso, comunicação e colaboração) têm nesta relação. Para alcançar este objetivo, o contexto de análise incidiu sobre uma amostra representativa de colaboradores/enfermeiros da Unidade Local de Saúde (ULS) da Guarda.
Esta investigação permitiu concluir que a liderança, mais concretamente a liderança transformacional tem um papel preponderante no contexto das organizações de saúde, nomeadamente, ao nível do empreendedorismo coletivo dos seus colaboradores. Na organização estudada existe, de facto, uma relação de influência entre o estilo de liderança e o empreendedorismo coletivo dos seus colaboradores, nomeadamente os enfermeiros, cujo compromisso e a comunicação assumiram um papel de mediador nesta relação.
Esta investigação contribui assim para o avanço da teoria no que diz respeito à relação entre o papel da liderança e o empreendedorismo coletivo numa organização de saúde. Em termos práticos este estudo permite concluir que o facto de existir uma forte relação entre a liderança transformacional e o empreendedorismo coletivo dos enfermeiros, este apresenta um papel relevante neste segmento de organização. Deste modo, é necessário que as organizações de saúde estejam alertadas para este tipo de liderança, pois cada vez mais a liderança influencia o grau de empreendedorismo coletivo dos seus colaboradores. Se os responsáveis das organizações de saúde estiverem sensíveis a esta temática, vão alcançar resultados positivos no desempenho dos seus colaboradores, que por sua vez contribuem para o sucesso da organização e para a prestação de cuidados fornecidos. As Organizações de Saúde devem então encontrar estratégias para aumentar o empreendedorismo coletivo, de modo a que o mesmo venha a contribuir para as atitudes e comportamentos dos colaboradores.
The development of health systems is a priority action and nurses have a fundamental role in defining the standards of care provided. Indeed, nurses represent the largest professional group within health organizations. In this context, health organizations should promote a climate favourable to nurses’ professional development with a view to their collective entrepreneurship to benefit the care provided to users. In recent decades, the study of leadership and collective entrepreneurship has become more popular. This interest emerges from its association with variables considered to have potential for productivity and organizational effectiveness. The aim of this study is therefore to understand the role of leadership in the collective entrepreneurship of health professionals and the influence of behavioural factors (commitment, communication and collaboration) on this relationship. To achieve this objective, the context of analysis is a representative sample of collaborators/nurses in the Local Health Unit (ULS) in Guarda. This research revealed that leadership, more specifically transformational leadership, has a dominant role in the context of health organizations, particularly regarding their collaborators’ collective entrepreneurship. In the organization studied, there is indeed a relationship of influence between leadership style and the collective entrepreneurship of its collaborators, namely nurses, whose commitment and communication have a mediating role in this relationship. Therefore, this study contributes to advancing theory on the relationship between the role of leadership and collective entrepreneurship in a health organization. In practical terms, it allows the conclusion that the fact there is a strong relationship between transformational leadership and nurses’ collective entrepreneurship means the latter presents a relevant role in this organization segment. Health organizations must therefore be made aware of this type of leadership, as increasingly leadership influences the degree of collective entrepreneurship in their collaborators. If those in charge of health organizations are sensitive to this matter, they will achieve positive results in their collaborators’ performance, which in turn contributes to the organization’s success and the level of care provided. Health organizations should therefore find strategies to increase collective entrepreneurship, for this to contribute collaborators’ attitude and behaviour.
