Sentidos de vida: um estudo transcultural entre gestores brasileiros e portugueses

Abstract

RESUMO reflexão sobre o sentido de vida remonta à Antiguidade, e vários trabalhos têm sido desenvolvidos sobre a sua relação com outros construtos, inclusive valores. Os valores possuem conteúdos universais, transculturais, porém não é o caso de sentidos de vida, que não têm aparecido como meta implicita a todas as culturas. De acordo com a literatura, a busca pelo sentido de vida influencia os valores que orientam os comportamentos humanos. Tendo em vista a influência exercida pelos valores na gestão das organizações, este estudo teve como objetivo identificar a diferença entre sentidos de vida de gestores brasileiros e portugueses. A pesquisa caracterizou-se como descritiva exploratória, tendo empregado método quantitativo com aporte qualitativo. Os resultados evidenciaram diferenças entre as duas amostras: os brasileiros mais orientados para a auto-realização e os portugueses para a solidariedade com os grupos sociais próximos.ABSTRACT he subject of life meaning has been discussed since ancient times, and several works have been developed on its relation with other constructs, including values.
