Abstract(s)
A liderança e seus diferentes estilos representam um papel importante no crescimento
e sucesso das empresas. JĂĄ o processo empreendedor surge com um evento gerador que
pode ser influenciado por vĂĄrios fatores, pelo que Ă© de todo o interesse entender qual o
efeito que os diferentes estilos de liderança podem ter no processo empreendedor.
Neste sentido, a presente investigação teve como objetivo identificar os estilos de
liderança que se encontram presentes ao longo das diferentes etapas do processo
empreendedor. Para isso, recorreu-se a uma abordagem metodolĂłgica qualitativa,
baseada em quatro pequenas e médias empresas (PME) (casos) de setores diferentes.
Como tĂ©cnica de recolha de dados, recorreu-se Ă realização de entrevistas, aos lĂderes e
liderados das quatro PME selecionadas, bem como Ă anĂĄlise documental. Para o
tratamento de dados, adotou-se uma anĂĄlise de conteĂșdo Ă s entrevistas realizadas quer
aos lĂderes quer aos liderados.
Com base nas evidĂȘncias empĂricas obtidas, conclui-se que nĂŁo existe um Ășnico estilo
de liderança seguido pelas PME analisadas nas diferentes etapas do processo
empreendedor, no entanto, foi possĂvel identificar o estilo de liderança transacional em
duas das etapas do processo empreendedor: na descoberta da ideia e na implementação
da ideia. Na segunda etapa do processo empreendedor, a aplicação da ideia, foi
identificado o estilo transformacional e, na Ășltima etapa (o crescimento) foram
identificados dois estilos de liderança: o estilo participativo e o estilo relacional.
Apesar de os estilos de liderança serem vistos como influenciadores no comportamento
do lĂder e do ambiente dentro da empresa, o impacto e os efeitos dos estilos de
liderança nas diferentes etapas do processo empreendedor, nĂŁo tĂȘm sido explorados
empiricamente. Assim, esta investigação foi uma primeira aproximação, de forma a
verificar a relação entre os estilos de liderança e as etapas do processo empreendedor,
pelo que os resultados obtidos representam um contributo para a literatura nestas duas
åreas: a liderança e o processo empreendedor.
A investigação contribui também com um modelo inovador proposto, onde estão
exemplificadas as caracterĂsticas que advĂ©m de cada fase do processo empreendedor e
do estilo de liderança identificado. Deste modo, os proprietårios-gestores das PME
devem estar consciencializados para a influĂȘncia que o seu estilo de liderança pode ter
na sua empresa e para os seus colaboradores, bem como nas diferentes fases do processo empreendedor. Em termos pråticos, este estudo sugere também quais os
estilos de liderança, que os lĂderes e empreendedores deverĂŁo adotar nas diferentes
fases do processo empreendedor, bem como as recomendaçÔes e caracterĂsticas a
considerar neste tipo de processo empresarial.
Leadership and its different styles play an important role in the growth and success of companies. The entrepreneurial process, on the other hand, comes with a generating event that can be influenced by several factors, so it is of all interest to understand what effect different leadership styles can have on the entrepreneurial process. In this sense, the present investigation is aimed to identify the leadership styles that are presented throughout the different stages of the entrepreneurial process. To this end, a qualitative methodological approach was used, based on four small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) (cases) from different sectors. As a datta collection technique, interviews were conducted with the leaders and followers of the four selected SMEs, as well with document analysis. For the treatment of the data, a content analysis was adopted for the interviews conducted with both the leaders and followers. Based on the empirical evidence obtained, it is concluded that there is not a single leadership style followed by the SMEs analyzed in the different stages of the entrepreneurial process, however, it was possible to identify the transactional leadership style in two of the stages of the entrepreneurial process: in the discovery of the idea and in the implementation of the idea. In the second stage of the entrepreneurial process, the application of the idea, transformational style was identified, and in the last stage (growth), two leadership styles were identified: the participative style and the relational style. Although leadership styles are seen as influencing the behavior of the leader and the environment within the company, the impact and the effects of leadership styles on the different stages of the entrepreneurial process have not been explored empirically. Thus, this investigation was a first approximation, in order to verify the relationship between the leadership styles and the stages of the entrepreneurial process, so the results obtained represent a contribution to the literature in these two areas: leadership and the entrepreneurial process. The investigation also contributes with a proposed innovative model, which exemplifies the characteristics that come from each stage of the entrepreneurial process and the identified leadership style. In this way, the SME owners-managers must be aware of the influence that their leadership style can have on their company and their employees, as well as on the different stages of the entrepreneurial process. In practical terms, tis study also suggests which leadership styles, leaders and entrepreneurs should adopt in the different stages of the entrepreneurial process, as well as the recommendations and characteristics to consider in this type of business process.
