The shift towards a service economy, increasingly intercultural and multigenerational work environments, and the advent of artificial intelligence have made teamwork an indispensable soft skill. This thesis investigates, through a Mixed Methods approach, the self-perception of teamwork competencies among Emerging Adults (young people aged 18 to 29), comparing it with the perspective of professionals who support these young people in their transition into the labour market.

Il passaggio a un’economia dei servizi, contesti lavorativi sempre più interculturali e multigenerazionali, nonché l’avvento dell’intelligenza artificiale rendono la capacità di lavorare in gruppo (teamwork) una soft skill indispensabile. Il lavoro di tesi indaga, attraverso un approccio Mixed Methods, l’autopercezione delle competenze di teamwork degli Emerging Adults (giovani di età tra i 18 e i 29 anni), mettendola a confronto con la visione dei professionisti che accompagnano questi giovani nella transizione verso il mondo del lavoro. La prima fase dell’indagine, di tipo quantitativo, è stata condotta attraverso la somministrazione di un questionario strutturato online. La seconda fase, di tipo qualitativo, è stata condotta tramite un focus group, che ha coinvolto esperti nella selezione del personale, dell’orientamento, della formazione, responsabili delle politiche giovanili e youth worker operanti sul territorio del Friuli Venezia Giulia, per raccogliere un contributo attraverso lo sguardo esterno di questi professionisti. L’elaborato parte da un’analisi teorica del teamwork e del profilo evolutivo degli Emerging Adults per poi presentare il disegno, i risultati e le implicazioni pratiche della ricerca.

Abstract
The shift towards a service economy, increasingly intercultural and multigenerational work environments, and the advent of artificial intelligence have made teamwork an indispensable soft skill. This thesis investigates, through a Mixed Methods approach, the self-perception of teamwork competencies among Emerging Adults (young people aged 18 to 29), comparing it with the perspective of professionals who support these young people in their transition into the labour market. The first phase of the study, quantitative in nature, was conducted through the administration of a structured online questionnaire. The second phase, qualitative in nature, was conducted through a focus group involving personnel selection experts, guidance counsellors, trainers, youth policy managers and youth workers operating in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, in order to gather an external perspective from these professionals. The thesis begins with a theoretical analysis of teamwork and the developmental profile of Emerging Adults, before presenting the research design, findings and practical implications.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
