Abstract(s)
A Força Aérea (FA) congrega em si duas vertentes – a estrutura e os militares –, que, sendo
vitais para o cumprimento da missão, impõem-se otimizar. Relativamente aos militares, entendase otimizar, ainda mais, aquele que é já, um excelente desempenho e, consequentemente,
manter/rentabilizar este bem-valioso pelo máximo tempo possível. Este estudo analisa a
retenção dos militares, decorrente da promulgação do Despacho n.º 51/2016, de 01 de agosto,
do Chefe de Estado-Maior da FA. Despacho este que determina a aplicação de tempo de
serviço adicional/indemnização à formação complementar (FC) e específica (FE) efetuada pelos
militares ao longo da carreira e suportada financeiramente pela Instituição – entendendo-se por
FC a não-mandatória e por FE a mandatória para o exercício funcional do militar. Constituíram
a amostra 278 Oficiais dos Quadros Permanentes da FA (postos: Tenente a Tenente-coronel).
Dos resultados obtidos, concluiu-se que após promulgação do Despacho a retenção aumentou,
devendo este efeito ser analisado, de forma mais aprofundada, num futuro próximo, após maior
período de implementação. Concluiu-se, também, que os militares percebem a aplicação do
Despacho como bastante justa, quando justaposta à FC, mas manifestamente injusta quando
ligada à FE, pelo facto desta última ancorar em formação/qualificação que lhes é imposta pela
própria FA.
The Portuguese Air Force (PoAF) brings together two facets – military organization and military personnel –, both of which are vital to accomplish the PoAF’s mission and, as such, must be optimised. Regarding military personnel, what is required is optimising an already outstanding performance, that is, to retain / capitalise on these assets for as long as possible. This study analyses retention among military personnel after the enactment of Order No. 51/2016 of 1 August, issued by the Chief of Staff of the PoAF. The order determines that officers must pay indemnities / complete an additional service time that corresponds to the complementary (CT) and specialized (ST) training they acquire throughout their career, which is financially supported by the institution. CT refers to nonmandatory training, while ST is a precondition for serving in one’s area of expertise. The sample consisted of 278 career officers from the PoAF (ranks: lieutenant to lieutenant colonel). The results showed that retention increased after the order was enacted, an effect which should be analysed in more depth in the near future, after a longer period of implementation. It was also concluded that officers believe that the application of the order to CT is fair, but that it is blatantly unfair to apply it to ST because the latter consists of training / qualifications required by the PoAF.
