Abstract(s)
As start-ups são consideradas a ‘grande revolução’ dos últimos 30 anos. Pesquisas anteriores
sobre start-ups focaram-se sobretudo na influência de entrada no mercado, ideia e
financiamento no crescimento. Em paralelo, na área da Gestão de Recursos Humanos,
diferentes autores provaram que práticas de recursos humanos podem criar valor para as
organizações. No entanto, ninguém tentou até ao momento compreender especificamente que
papel tem a Gestão de Recursos Humanos nas start-ups em crescimento. Através de cinco
start-ups e baseada em entrevistas e inquéritos feitos junto de empregados e fundadores, esta
tese revela que a Gestão de Recursos Humanos pode ter vários papéis nas start-ups em
crescimento – desde estratégico a não estratégico de todo. Esta tese permite fazer descobertas
que são interessantes para futura investigação sobre o assunto e que podem ser integradas por
empreendedores nos seus planos estratégicos, conduzindo ao sucesso empresarial.
Start-ups are considered the ‘big thing’ of the last 30 years. Previous research on start-ups focused mainly on the influence of entry timing, idea and funding on performance. In parallel, in the Human Resource Management field, different authors proved that human resource practices can create value for organisations. Nonetheless, until now no one tried to specifically understand what role Human Resource Management plays in growing start-ups. Departing from five start-ups and based on interviews and surveys conducted to employees and founders, this dissertation reveals that Human Resource Management can have several roles in growing start-ups – from strategic to non-strategic at all. This dissertation comes up with findings that are appealing for future literature on the subject and that can be integrated by entrepreneurs in their strategic plans, leading to business success.
