O propósito do presente estudo, pretende compreender o desenvolvimento moral de empreendedores e gestores num contexto ainda pouco explorado na literatura: as startups. Primeiramente, pretende verificar se os níveis de raciocínio moral de adultos CEO’s e gestores de startups são superiores ao valor de referência para adultos em geral proposto pela literatura. De seguida, procura compreender se o contexto de uma startup e as suas especificidades potenciam o desenvolvimento moral igualitário entre os seus CEO’s e gestores. Para isto, sendo uma investigação de cariz quantitativo, foi administrado um questionário a uma amostra total de 27 CEO’s e gestores de startups em Portugal. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que adultos empreendedores e gestores de startups apresentam níveis mais elevados de raciocínio moral do que o valor médio para adultos em geral, embora essa diferença não seja estatisticamente significativa. Ainda, os resultados sugerem que o contexto de startup, através da sua cultura colaborativa e estrutura pouco hierarquizada, potencia o desenvolvimento moral dos seus CEO’s e gestores de igual forma, pois estes não apresentaram diferenças significativas nos seus níveis de raciocínio moral. Limitações do presente estudo e implicações para futuras investigações acerca do raciocínio moral e do contexto de startups são discutidos.
The purpose of this study is to understand the moral development of entrepreneurs and managers in a context still little explored in the literature: the startups. At first, it intends to verify if the levels of moral reasoning of adult CEO’s and managers of startups are superior to the reference value for adults in general, proposed in the literature. It then seeks to understand if the startup context and its specificities enhance the moral development in an equal way between its CEO’s and managers. For this, being a quantitative investigation, a questionnaire was administered to a total sample of 27 CEO´s and managers of startups in Portugal. The results showed that adult entrepreneurs and managers of startups have higher levels of moral reasoning than the average value for adults in general, although this difference is not statistically significant. Moreover, the results suggest that the startup context, through its collaborative culture and little hierarchical structure, strengthens the moral development of its CEO’s and managers in an equal way, since these did not present significant differences in their levels of moral reasoning. Limitations of the present study and implications for future research on moral reasoning and the context of startups are discussed.
