Atualmente, os ambientes organizacionais sĂŁo cada vez mais turbulentos, incertos e complexos devido Ă s constantes mudanças a que tĂȘm sido sujeitos (e.g. globalização, inovação tecnolĂłgica, economia transnacional). Face a estas mudanças que revolucionam o mercado laboral, as empresas precisam obrigatoriamente de se restruturar de modo a tornarem-se competitivas e a garantirem a sua sobrevivĂȘncia e o seu crescimento. Assim sendo, torna-se fundamental a adoção de novas ferramentas que lhes proporcionem vantagens competitivas reais.
O estilo de liderança e as competĂȘncias emocionais tĂȘm ganho destaque visto que o sucesso das organizaçÔes depende dos seus lĂderes. Os comportamentos de liderança que os lĂderes adotam influenciam a eficĂĄcia destes na condução dos liderados e na consecução dos objetivos organizacionais. E, sendo as organizaçÔes regidas por uma multiplicidade de relaçÔes, torna-se cada vez mais relevante o estudo da inteligĂȘncia emocional.
O presente trabalho pretendeu analisar estas duas variĂĄveis - liderança e inteligĂȘncia emocional - nas organizaçÔes portuguesas, em especial, nas micro, pequenas e mĂ©dias empresas. PropĂŽs-se identificar os estilos de liderança adotados pelos lĂderes, verificar se os lĂderes revelam inteligĂȘncia emocional e se a consideram no exercĂcio de liderança assim como a influĂȘncia desta no desempenho organizacional.
Com recurso a uma metodologia qualitativa investigou-se a realidade de atuação dos lĂderes de quatro organizaçÔes distintas, atravĂ©s de estudos de caso. Concluiu-se que os lĂderes revelam inteligĂȘncia emocional, mantĂȘm relaçÔes sociais positivas com os respetivos liderados e, sĂŁo eficazes ao nĂvel da consecução dos objetivos organizacionais. No entanto, verificou-se que os lĂderes, apesar de considerarem a inteligĂȘncia emocional no exercĂcio de liderança, a importĂąncia que lhes atribuem varia entre eles. Assim, os lĂderes que lhe atribuem efetivamente importĂąncia sĂŁo aqueles que adotam o estilo de liderança transformacional, embora de forma nĂŁo exclusiva, e que assumem como propĂłsito organizacional fulcral o de crescimento das respetivas empresas a mĂ©dio/ longo prazo. Deste modo, estes lĂderes tendem a ter uma vantagem competitiva real em relação aos demais.
Nowadays, the organizational environments are increasingly turbulent, uncertain and complex due to intrinsic/ extrinsic factors (e.g. globalization, technological innovation, transnational economy). Given these changes in the labor market, companies must restructure to ensure their survival, growth and competiveness. Therefore, it is essential to adopt new tools, giving them real competitive advantage. The leadership style and emotional skills have gain highlighted since the success of organizations depends on their leaders. Leadership behaviors adopted influence the effectiveness of the conduct of the employees and the achievement of organizational objectives. Organizations are governed by a complex network of relationships. Consequently, it becomes important to study the emotional intelligence. This paper aims to analyze the following variables - leadership and emotional intelligence - in Portuguese organizations, particularly in the micro, small and medium companies. It is proposed to identify the leadership styles adopted. Moreover, verify that the leaders reveal emotional intelligence and if they consider it in the exercise of leadership as well as the influence of this on organizational performance. I used a qualitative methodology, to investigate the real performance of four different leading organizations through case studies. It was concluded that leaders reveal emotional intelligence, maintain positive social relationships with the respective employees and are effective in terms of achieving the organizational goals. However, it was found that the leaders, despite consider emotional intelligence in the exercise of leadership, the importance attached to them varies between them. Thereby, the leaders capable of using their emotional skills effectively are the ones who adopt mainly the style of transformational leadership. They assume as central organizational purpose, their companiesâ growth in the medium and long term. Thus, such leaders have a clear competitive advantage.
