Resumo(s)
The current rapidly evolving global context presents ever greater challenges to organizational management and leadership. Constantly evolving functional and technical demands require leaders with a broad set of technical, cognitive, and transversal skills. In the case of military organizations, frequently involved in complex scenarios and governed by a code of values that transcends the principles of public service and life in society, leadership, at all levels, assumes an increased degree of demand.
This study aims to evaluate the alignment between the initial training and the functional requirements of officers in the Naval Administration class of the Portuguese Navy, through the mapping of their technical, cognitive, and behavioural competency profile. A mixed-methods approach was applied, combining quantitative data from questionnaires administered to active-duty officers with qualitative data from semi-structured interviews. This methodology allowed for the identification of the skills required for job performance, as well as the assessment of officers' perception of the adequacy of initial training.
The results indicate that initial training provides a coherent theoretical basis, especially in the area of knowledge structuring, but reveals limitations in preparing officers for specialized technical and operational roles. There are discrepancies between the content of the provided education and the practical demands of the profession, mainly in specific technical areas and in the mobilization of skills related to leadership, adaptation, and decision-making in operational situations.
In conclusion, although initial training is comprehensive, the skills needed for optimal performance are developed primarily in the context of military service. Therefore, this study provides empirical evidence to support curriculum redesign in military higher education, aligning training more closely with real operational competency demands.
