Resumo(s)
A retenção de militares qualificados constitui um desafio para a Força Aérea
Portuguesa (FAP), sobretudo em especialidades técnicas e operacionais. O aumento do
turnover pode comprometer a sustentabilidade das capacidades da instituição, o que levanta
a necessidade do estudo das suas causas.
Esta investigação, utilizando uma estratégia mista, analisou a estatística institucional
tendo por base o modelo de comprometimento organizacional de Mayer e Allen, destacando
a remuneração, a progressão na carreira, a localização geográfica e a conciliação entre vida
pessoal e profissional como os fatores centrais nas decisões de saída. Complementarmente,
realizou-se uma pesquisa das medidas de retenção adotadas por Forças Aéreas congéneres,
que evidenciou a adoção de políticas integradas com enfoque em incentivos financeiros,
mobilidade funcional e valorização profissional.
Com base nestes resultados, propuseram-se linhas de ação estratégicas que pudessem
contribuir para a retenção na FAP, tendo as mesmas sido validadas, através de entrevistas a
decisores institucionais.
Conclui-se que a retenção de militares exige uma abordagem integrada e adaptada à
realidade da FAP, sustentada em boas práticas internacionais e centrada na valorização dos
seus quadros.
The retention of qualified military personnel represents a significant challenge for the Portuguese Air Force (FAP), particularly in technical and operational specialities. The increasing turnover rate poses a potential threat to the sustainability of the institution’s capabilities, thus underscoring the importance of examining its root causes. This study employed a mixed-methods approach and analysed institutional statistics within the framework of the organisational commitment model developed by Meyer and Allen. The analysis identified remuneration, career progression, geographic placement, and work–life balance as key factors influencing personnel attrition. In parallel, a review of retention strategies implemented by comparable European air forces revealed the adoption of integrated policies focused on financial incentives, functional mobility, and professional recognition. Drawing on these findings, strategic lines of action were proposed with the aim of enhancing retention within the FAP. These proposals were subsequently validated through interviews with institutional decision-makers. The study concludes that the retention of military personnel requires a comprehensive and context-sensitive approach, tailored to the institutional reality of the FAP, and informed by international best practices centred on the recognition and development of human capital.
