Abstract(s)
O principal objetivo da presente investigação é compreender como é que a Geração
Millennial planeia o desenvolvimento da carreira profissional, percebendo a sua perceção
relativamente à própria carreira, explorando o modo como está a planeá-la, identificando
os perfis de carreira existentes e, ainda, verificando os desafios que lhe estão associados.
No presente estudo, utilizou-se uma metodologia qualitativa, recorrendo à técnica da
entrevista semiestruturada para efetuar a recolha dos dados. Realizaram-se quinze
entrevistas a profissionais da área de Recursos Humanos, com idades compreendidas entre os 23 e os 38 anos, cuja experiência profissional varia entre dois e cinco anos. A
análise e o tratamento dos dados recolhidos concretizou-se através da análise de conteúdo
e categorização da informação, tendo por base os princípios da Grounded Theory.
Os resultados da investigação sugerem que os Millennials mostram-se satisfeitos com a profissão que exercem, sendo que percecionam a sua carreira profissional como
sendo um fenómeno que tem grande impacto no seu bem-estar e na sua vida pessoal, por
isso, ambicionam o equilíbrio entre as duas vertentes. Para além disso, valorizam a
existência de um horário de trabalho flexível nas organizações.
Estes jovens têm por hábito acompanhar as ofertas de emprego que surgem no
Mercado de Trabalho, de modo a conseguirem planear a sua carreira profissional. Assim,
revelam ser importante a aposta na Formação Profissional como complemento da sua qualificação, dado que sentem que é uma das vias mais eficazes para crescer
profissionalmente. Desta forma, a geração Millennial tende a preocupar-se cada vez mais com a gestão da própria carreira, essencialmente de acordo com as suas expectativas,
tendo em vista a satisfação e o bem-estar profissionais.
Na parte final desta dissertação, discutem-se as principais implicações do estudo,
bem como algumas limitações. Finalmente, apresentam-se algumas sugestões para a investigação futura.

In the final part of this dissertation, the main implications of the study are discussed, as well as some limitations. Finally, some suggestions for future research are presented.
