Abstract(s)
Este estudo tem como objetivo principal avaliar se a adaptação intercultural foi fundamental no sucesso dos expatriados nas suas missões internacionais em Angola. Em concreto pretende conhecer como os expatriados portugueses se adaptaram à cultura angolana.
Face à crescente globalização dos mercados e à internacionalização das empresas, estas optam por deslocar trabalhadores qualificados para países estrangeiros para apoiarem o crescimento e consolidação dos seus negócios.
Revista a literatura sobre a temática da expatriação, foi utilizada uma metodologia qualitativa. O instrumento de recolha de informação foi a entrevista semiestruturada, tendo sido realizadas, no total, 10 entrevistas a várias pessoas que tenham efetuado, ou ainda estejam a efetuar, missões internacionais em Angola que posteriormente foram analisadas através da técnica de análise de conteúdo.
Os resultados obtidos sugerem que o processo de adaptação a Angola de alguns dos entrevistados apresentou algumas dificuldades iniciais, mas que foram sendo ultrapassadas à medida que o tempo ia passando.
Por fim, foram apresentados os resultados obtidos e as respectivas conclusões, evidenciando que a missão internacional contribuiu para o desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional dos entrevistados. O idoma, o apoio dos colegas e chefias e a presença da família constituiu um factor facilitador da adaptação cultural.
