Resumo
Esta investigação teve como objectivo geral identificar o perfil motivacional
dos Educadores de Infância do concelho de Torres Novas, bem como descrever e
analisar o perfil motivacional dos Educadores de Infância em relação ao trabalho
que exercem. Pretendeu-se ainda verificar se o perfil motivacional se altera de
acordo com a variável tipo de instituição e se o tempo de serviço é uma variável
que interfere no perfil motivacional. Ferreira, Diogo; Ferreira & Valente (2006)
devido aos escassos instrumentos para avaliação da motivação consideraram
importante desenvolver uma escala que medisse pelas suas características várias
dimensões da motivação no trabalho, a qual designaram de Escala MULTI-MOTI
(2006). Esta escala e a base teórica que a sustenta serviram de suporte para este
estudo.
Para a realização desta pesquisa, foram utilizados dois questionários para
recolha e análise de dados, sendo o primeiro apenas para a obtenção de dados
pessoais e profissionais e o segundo o questionário MULTI-MOTI da autoria de
Ferreira et al. (2006) que engloba 28 itens e avalia quatro dimensões referentes à
motivação no trabalho. A nossa amostra foi composta por 54 Educadores de
Infância. Os dois questionários utilizaram uma escala tipo Likert.
Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a maioria dos Educadores de
Infância revela altos níveis de Desenvolvimento e Organização no Trabalho e
menores níveis no que se refere ao Desempenho e Realização e Poder.
The scope of this research aimed to identify the motivational profile of the Kindergarten Teachers in the municipality of Torres Novas, and also describe to and analyze the motivational profile of the Kindergarten Teachers in relation to their job. It was also intended to verify if the motivational profile changes according to the variable type of institution and also whether the service time is a variable that affects the motivational profile. Ferreira, Diogo, Ferreira & Valente (2006) due to lack of instruments to measure motivation, they have considered important to develop a scale that measured several characteristics dimensions of work motivation, which they have designated as MULTI-MOTI Scale (2006). This scale and the theoretical basis that underpins it served to support this study. For this research, two questionnaires were used to collect and analyze data. The first one was only to obtain personal and professional data while the second one, the MULTI MOTI questionnaire by Ferreira et al. (2006), which includes 28 items was used to measure four dimensions related to work motivation. Our sample consisted of 54 Kindergarten Teachers. Both questionnaires used a Likert type scale. The results showed that most Kindergarten Teachers revealed high levels of motivation on Organization and Development at Work and lower levels regarding to the Performance, Achievement and Power.
