Abstract(s)
A presente investigação almeja avaliar os elementos identitários da estrutura da carreira
dos oficiais das Forças Armadas de países ocidentais, que podem melhorar o modelo
português. O objeto de estudo é a carreira dos oficiais das Forças Armadas, focando-se
nos oficiais que ingressam nos Quadros Permanentes após a frequência de curso superior
em Estabelecimento de Ensino Superior Público Universitário Militar, e que possam
estatutariamente ascender a oficial general. Metodologicamente, materializa-se um desenho
de pesquisa comparativo, assente na interpretação de dados recolhidos por pesquisa
documental clássica e entrevistas semiestruturadas.
A pesquisa demonstra haver uma mentalidade distinta entre os países da Europa
meridional e os restantes países ocidentais, com enfatização nos primeiros de desenhos
de carreira assentes nos Quadros Especiais. Para além disso, verifica-se que apenas em
Portugal a frequência do Curso de Estado-Maior não é encarada como sendo essencial
para uma futura ascensão à subcategoria de oficial general. A investigação conclui que a
estrutura de carreira dos oficiais nacionais pode ser melhorada, com a adoção de desenhos
de carreira centrados nas competências e não nos Quadros Especiais, pelo que culmina em recomendações para reestruturação de carreiras e também, com um maior detalhe relativo
à gestão de carreiras.
This research aims to ascertain the defining elements of officer career structures in western countries that may be used to improve the Portuguese model. The object of study is the careers of military officers, specifically officers who become Career Personnel after completing an academic degree at a Military University, and who are statutorily qualified to become flag officers. The methodology used relied on a comparative research design based on the interpretation of data collected using traditional documentary research combined with semi-structured interviews. The research uncovered some differences in mentality between southern European countries and other western countries, with career designs based on Specialties being more prevalent in the first. In addition, Portugal is the only country where the General Staff Course is not considered essential for promotion to flag rank. The research found that the career structure of Portuguese officers can be improved by adopting competencybased career designs rather than Specialtiesbased ones, which resulted in recommendations to restructure the career model in force, although further studies on career management are required.
