Abstract(s)
Os cargos de liderança colocam grandes desafios aos profissionais, desde logo a necessidade de tomar decisões sobre as mais diversas situações. O presente estudo, de natureza qualitativa e exploratória, procura compreender a relevância das questões de género no exercício de cargos de liderança em estabelecimentos prisionais, e nos significados construídos sobre os obstáculos e vivências que se colocam a essa liderança. Após a realização e análise de cinco entrevistas semiestruturadas a profissionais (homens e mulheres) que exercem cargos de liderança em contexto prisional, foi possível destacar quais os fatores chave, significados e obstáculos existentes no exercício destes cargos e ao longo da sua carreira no sistema prisional. A principal conclusão do estudo prende-se com a inexistência de diferenças entre géneros no ingresso e na permanência dos/as participantes em cargos de liderança nos estabelecimentos prisionais. Destacaram, sim, a necessidade de um perfil para dirigir e executar as funções características de um/a líder, que não depende de ser homem ou mulher. Apesar do estigma ainda associado às mulheres que pretendem assumir cargos de liderança, de acordo com os participantes deste estudo, tal discrepância não se verifica no sistema prisional português.

The main conclusion of the study relates to the lack of differences between genders, regarding the entry or permanence of the participants in leadership positions in prisons. Instead, the participants highlight the need for having a profile or a set of characteristics to perform leadership in prison, that does not depend on being a man or a woman. Despite the stigma still associated with women who intend to assume leadership positions, according to the participants in our study, such a discrepancy does not occur in the current prison system.
