Abstract(s)
Num futuro não muito distante, o envelhecimento demográfico terá consequências impactantes na
sociedade e nas organizações, expondo vulnerabilidades de escassez de mão de obra.
O objetivo geral desta investigação é o de perceber se existem políticas e práticas de GRH, na
empresa SETH, que antecipem situações relacionadas com o avanço natural da idade dos
trabalhadores e, consequentemente, com a retenção dos mesmos.
Assim, realizámos um Estudo de Caso com o objetivo de 1) identificar e analisar as políticas e
práticas existentes à luz da literatura; 2) compreender se estas estão adequadas às necessidades dos
trabalhadores mais velhos levando à sua retenção; 3) entender o que deu origem ao desenvolvimento
destas políticas e aplicação das referidas práticas.
Neste sentido, procedemos à análise documental de informação relevante e disponível na empresa,
e entrevistámos 3 elementos de diferentes níveis da estrutura organizacional, através de entrevistas
semi-estruturadas.
Os resultados apontam para um alinhamento entre as práticas revistas em literatura que, na sua
aplicação, são desejáveis e contribuem para a felicidade, motivação e retenção dos trabalhadores mais
velhos.
Entendemos que este estudo traz a confirmação da eficácia da implementação destas práticas,
mas que deixa portas abertas para melhorias em investigações futuras.
In a not too distant future, demographic aging will have impacting consequences on society and organizations, exposing labor shortage vulnerabilities. The overall objective of this research is to understand if there are HRM policies and practices, in SETH company, that can anticipate situations related to the natural aging advance of workers and, moreover, with the retention of these. Therefore, we carried out a Case Study with the objective of 1) identifying and analyzing existing policies and practices in the light of the literature; 2) understand if these are adequate to the needs of older workers leading to their retention; 3) understand what gave rise to the development of these policies and application of these practices. In this sense, we carried out documentation analysis of relevant information available in the company, and we have interviewed 3 elements from different levels of the organizational structure, through semi-structured interviews. The results point to an alignment between the practices reviewed in the literature that, when applied, are desirable and contribute to the happiness, motivation and retention of older workers. We understand that this study confirms the effectiveness of the implementation of these practices, but that it leaves open doors for improvements in future investigations.
