Abstract(s)
Num mundo cada vez mais global, complexo e competitivo, o crescimento das empresas
é cada vez mais importante para o dinamismo de um setor e de uma economia. Entre
outros fatores, a resiliência das empresas, a sua estrutura e a produtividade são aspetos
determinantes para a sua competitividade ao longo do tempo.
A competitividade do setor industrial assume assim um papel fundamental a nível do
desenvolvimento do tecido empresarial, criação de emprego, inovação e no aumento das
exportações.
O presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar a influência de determinados fatores tais
como a produtividade, os custos do trabalho e o crescimento na performance das empresas
em Portugal. Nesse sentido, foram selecionadas 7.826 empresas dos setores industriais
para um período de análise entre os anos 2018 e 2022.
Para o efeito, foi efetuada uma análise de dados em painel, através do modelo de efeitos
fixos (fixed effects), cuja variável dependente utilizada para medir a performance das
empresas foi o ROA (return on assets). Os resultados do modelo indicam que a
produtividade e o crescimento têm uma influência significativa e positiva na rentabilidade
das empresas. Relativamente ao custo do trabalho, apesar de este ser significativo, tem
uma influência negativa na rentabilidade das mesmas. No que confere às características
das empresas, verificou-se uma influência significativa e negativa entre as variáveis
dimensão e alavancagem e a rentabilidade das empresas.
In an increasingly global, complex and competitive world, the growth of companies is increasingly important for the dynamism of a sector and an economy. Among other factors, the resilience of companies, their structure and productivity are determining aspects for their competitiveness over time. The competitiveness of the industrial sector plays a fundamental role in terms of developing the business industry, creating jobs, innovation and increasing exports. The present study aims to investigate the influence of certain factors such as productivity, labor costs and growth on the performance of companies in Portugal. In this sense, 7,826 companies from industrial sectors were selected for an analysis period between 2018 and 2022. For this purpose, a panel data analysis was carried out, using the fixed effects model, whose dependent variable used to measure the companies' performance was ROA (return on assets). The model results indicate that productivity and growth have a significant and positive influence on company profitability. Regarding labor costs, although this is significant, it has a negative influence on their profitability. In terms of company characteristics, there was a significant and negative influence between the variables size and leverage and company profitability.
