Captação de praças na Marinha do Brasil: Comparativo dos processos seletivos de ingresso nas forças armadas

Abstract

ABSTRACT Recruitment of Personnel in the Brazilian Navy Comparison of the selection processes for entry into the Armed Forces Recruitment and selection are fundamental processes in any organization, and this principle extends to the Armed Forces as well. The objective of this monograph is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the selection process for enlisted personnel in the Brazilian Navy to compare it to the processes used by the other branches of the Brazilian Armed Forces. This analysis seeks to identify both similarities and, more critically, differences that may influence individuals who aspire to a military career in choosing among the three branches. To achieve the proposed objectives, the study is grounded in scientific theories of human motivation, identifying the principal factors that can impact human will and the elements that may drive individuals in their decision-making. To assess the practical applicability of these theories, a questionnaire was administered to sailors who participated in recent selection processes. This allowed for a clear identification of the factors influencing military personnel’s choices and their preferences for one of the three branches. Ultimately, by identifying the factors that affect individuals’ choices, both from a scientific and practical perspective, strategic recommendations have been proposed for adjustments to the Navy’s selection process. These recommendations aim to enhance the attractiveness of the process to prospective candidates and enable the Navy to achieve its objective of selecting the most qualified individuals available in the market.
