Analise do papel da liderança na motivação de funcionários, estudo de caso Escola Primária do 5º Bairro – Vila da Macia (2021-2023)

Abstract

This study analyzed the role of leadership in motivating staff at the 5th Neighborhood Primary School and sought to understand the management practices adopted by leaders to motivate them. The study objectives included identifying the leadership style adopted by school leaders, explaining the management practices adopted by the school administration to motivate staff, and presenting the management-related factors that favor and/or hinder staff motivation at the 5th Neighborhood Primary School in Macia. The study followed a qualitative approach, but also used a quantitative method that allowed for better analysis and interpretation of the research results. The questionnaire data were analyzed and discussed in graphs, while the semi-structured interview data were described and discussed narratively. The case study method was used, whose sample size allowed for generalizability of the results. The sample consisted of 16 active members of the school. This analysis allowed us to understand that there is a divergence of opinions between the school administration and the staff. This means that some staff members are not involved in the decision-making process and, as a result, do not understand the reasons for adopting a particular course of action at the school. The study concluded that poor management practices affect employee motivation, which is associated with a lack of openness on the part of the school administration to engage in individual and personal dialogue with staff. Consequently, the lack of opportunities for the school administration to interact individually with each staff member significantly influences staff perceptions.(TRADUÇAO NOSSA)
