Liderança LGBTQIAPN+, Barreiras de liderança, Autoeficácia de liderançaResumo
Objetivo: Identificar as principais barreiras e desafios enfrentados por líderes LGBTQIAPN+ no local de trabalho e examinar suas relações com a autoeficácia de liderança. Metodologia: A coleta de dados envolveu indivíduos LGBTQIAPN+ em cargos de liderança, resultando em respostas de 1.156 participantes. Para testar o modelo teórico proposto, foi realizada análise de Modelagem de Equações Estruturais. Principais resultados: As conclusões destacaram questões relacionadas com a composição do grupo e a diversidade na orientação sexual e identidade de gênero como as principais barreiras e desafios. A validação das hipóteses sustentou a noção de que as dificuldades vivenciadas pelos indivíduos LGBTQIAPN+ no trabalho podem dotá-los de competências valiosas que conduzam à liderança, tornando os profissionais mais proativos. Contribuições acadêmicas: Demonstra como a composição do grupo e a diversidade de orientação sexual e/ou identidade de gênero impactam diretamente as barreiras enfrentadas pelos líderes LGBTQIAPN+ no ambiente de trabalho. Contribuições práticas: Destaca a importância de políticas públicas que abordem a discriminação e promovam a educação sobre questões LGBTQIAPN+, visando melhorar o ambiente de trabalho e o desempenho profissional desses líderes.
