Líderes da geração Z: a relação entre o perfil de liderança e as competências empreendedoras

Abstract

Generation Z, composed of individuals born between 1990 and 2010, is characterized by familiarity with digital technologies and an increasing presence in the labor market, especially in innovation-oriented sectors. In this context, understanding the leadership profile and the entrepreneurial competences of these young professionals becomes relevant for organizations and technological ecosystems. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the leadership profile and the entrepreneurial competences of Generation Z leaders in technology companies in Chapecó – SC, Brasil. It is a descriptive research, with an applied nature and a mixed-methods approach. Data collection will be carried out through an online questionnaire directed to Generation Z leaders and an interview with the DEATEC director, leading representative of the technology sector in the western region of Santa Catarina, in order to complement the analyses. Quantitative data will be processed using Power BI, while qualitative data will be examined through content analysis. The study is expected to identify the predominant leadership styles, map the entrepreneurial competences present, and analyze the relationship between these elements. The results aim to contribute to the understanding of Generation Z’s role in leadership and intrapreneurship positions.
