O efeito da autonomia na motivação e no desempenho de funcionários das gerações Y e Z
Conteúdo do artigo principal
Resumo
O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar o efeito da autonomia na motivação e no desempenho de funcionários das gerações Y e Z no trabalho. Quanto ao método, foi realizada uma pesquisa quantitativa com 198 indivíduos, operacionalizada por meio de uma survey. Para o teste das hipóteses, foram realizados testes de regressão, moderação e mediação moderada. Os resultados demonstraram que a autonomia pode aumentar significativamente a motivação e o desempenho dos funcionários das referidas gerações no trabalho. Além disso, foi constatado que a motivação medeia parcialmente a relação entre a autonomia e o desempenho dos funcionários. Adicionalmente, verificou-se que a faixa de idade dos funcionários influencia o efeito da autonomia, sendo particularmente significativa para a Geração Z. O estudo destaca a autonomia como chave para a motivação e o desempenho das gerações mais jovens no trabalho, sugerindo que as organizações adaptem suas culturas e políticas para atender a essas necessidades.
