Abstract(s)
Igualdade de género não se trata apenas de um direito humano básico, mas também de uma base necessária para um mundo pacífico, próspero e sustentável. Nas últimas décadas temos vindo a assistir a cada vez mais progressos. Ainda assim, muitos são os desafios que as mulheres enfrentam só pelo facto de serem mulheres (ONU, s.d.).
O objetivo geral deste trabalho é analisar a correlação entre o setor hoteleiro e sustentabilidade ao enfatizar a importância da igualdade de género para um futuro sustentável. Os objetivos específicos passam por identificar quais os obstáculos que as mulheres enfrentam quando se trata de progressão na carreia no mercado referido e compreender se os homens experienciam impedimentos semelhantes.
Para atingir os objetivos alicerçou-se a componente teórica acerca da sustentabilidade e a teoria do Teto de Vidro, a uma componente prática, através de um questionário centrado na análise das opiniões acerca de diferentes fatores de perceção de igualdade de género de vários homens e mulheres que atualmente ocupam cargos de chefia em hotéis de 4 e 5 estrelas no Algarve, no qual participaram 41 indivíduos.
Trata-se de uma investigação que analisa um tipo de discriminação que muitas vezes se manifesta de uma maneira mais subtil e quase invisível.
Os resultados indicam que, apesar dos esforços para promover a igualdade de género, ainda há a presença de barreiras significativas que dificultam a ascensão das mulheres a cargos de liderança. Ainda que a maioria dos participantes tenha demonstrado através das suas respostas não percecionar a existência de um Teto de Vidro, foi possível observar a existência do mesmo ao fazer uma análise mais aprofundada, especialmente no que diz respeito às diferenças salariais,
Este estudo visa contribuir para a compreensão das desigualdades de género no setor hoteleiro. Além disso, oferece informações pertinentes para as empresas que desejam promover um ambiente de trabalho mais inclusivo e equitativo.
Gender equality is not only a basic human right, but also a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. In recent decades, we have seen increasing progress. However, there are still many challenges that women face simply because they are women (UN, n.d.). The general objective of this work is to analyze the correlation between the hotel sector and sustainability, emphasizing the importance of gender equality for a sustainable future. The specific objectives include identifying the obstacles that women face when it comes to career progression in the aforementioned market and understanding whether men experience similar obstacles. To achieve the objectives, the theoretical component about sustainability and the Glass Ceiling theory was based on a practical component, through a questionnaire focused on analysing the opinions about different factors of perception of gender equality of several men and women who currently occupy management positions in 4 and 5 star hotels in the Algarve, in which 41 individuals (x women and men) participated. This research examines a type of discrimination that often manifests itself in a more subtle and almost invisible way. The results indicate that, despite efforts to promote gender equality, there are still significant barriers that hinder women's rise to leadership positions. Although most participants demonstrated through their responses that they did not perceive the existence of a Glass Ceiling, it was possible to observe its existence upon closer analysis, especially regarding salary differences. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of gender inequalities in the hotel sector. In addition, it provides relevant information for companies that wish to promote a more inclusive and equitable work environment.
