Abstract(s)
O presente artigo pretende ser um contributo para um melhor entendimento dos
requisitos da adaptabilidade dos líderes às operações militares modernas. Assim, o
objetivo principal da investigação é identificar os requisitos de adaptabilidade dos líderes
face às novas exigências e contribuir para o seu desenvolvimento em operações militares
modernas. Para tal, procurou-se identificar as principais mudanças e alterações nas
operações militares e no ambiente operacional onde decorrem.A abordagem segue uma
metodologia qualitativa por entrevista a militares que exerceram funções de comando
nos teatros de operações do Afeganistão ou do Kosovo e uma quantitativa com recurso
ao questionário adaptado por nós mas desenvolvido por Pulakos, et al. (Adaptability in
the Workplace: Development of a Taxonomy of Adaptive Performance, 2000). A análise
das entrevistas e dos questionários indica que as dimensões de adaptabilidade propostas
por Pulakos et al. (Adaptability in the Workplace: Development of a Taxonomy of Adaptive
Performance, 2000) são requisitos de adaptabilidade do líder face às operações militares
modernas (caraterizadas pela imprevisibilidade, pelo risco e potenciais ameaças) a que os
militares estão expostos. A análise dos resultados dos questionários permite verificar que
a frequência de exposição às dimensões de adaptabilidade foi baixa quer para os líderes
das Forças Armadas e da GNR.
This research aims to contribute to a better understanding of leaders’ adaptability requirements in modern military operations.Thus, the main objective of this research is to identify leaders’ adaptability requirements in the face of new demands and to contribute to their development in modern military operations. To do so, we sought to identify the major changes and alterations in military operations and in the operational environment in which they occur. In order to analyse the adaptability of Portuguese military leaders, the approach follows a qualitative methodology,through interviews of military officers who exercised command duties in the theatres of operations of Afghanistan or Kosovo, and a quantitative methodology through a questionnaire adapted by us, but created by Pulakos, et al.(Adaptability in the Workplace: Development of a Taxonomy of Adaptive Performance, 2000). The analysis of the interviews and questionnaires reveals that the dimensions of adaptability offered by Pulakos et al. (2000) are adaptability requirements to face modern military operations (characterized by unpredictability, risk and potential threats) that soldiers are exposed to. The questionnaire results show that: the frequency of exposure to the dimensions of adaptability was low, both for the leaders of the AF and the GNR.
