    Publication . Ferreira, Catarina Libório Baio; Meirinhos, Viviana Andrade
    The overall objective of this dissertation is “Exploring the Human Resources career” and for its operationalization 4 more specific objectives were defined, namely (1) to characterize the configurations of work within the scope of HR careers, (2) to characterize the development options within the scope of HR careers, (3) to characterize career transitions within the scope of HR careers and (4) to characterize the perception of HR professionals about their career. The methodology used was qualitative and the technique for collecting information was the questionnaire survey with open questions, operationalized through 2 different/ distinct instruments for 2 different samples: one for HR graduates - already in professional practice - and another for HR students/future professionals. The sample included 354 participants, resulting in 350 valid surveys. The results obtained suggest that most HR graduates develop their careers in the HR area (dispersed across a variety of sectors), and in terms of functional activity, the dimension of HR acquisition (recruitment, selection and onboarding) is the most frequent. To progress in their careers, they invest in training essentially in the area of HR and management (in master's degrees) and in psychology and in the area of HR (in non-academic courses). Career progression is associated with professional transitions, both at the type of activity and at the hierarchical level. They revealed that the relationship with people is what they most appreciate in their career, with recognition and trust associated with the most positive moments of their careers. On the whole, the career is characterized with many more positive factors (n=225) than negative factors (n=32). The perception of their employment opportunities and potential is also considered high.
