O trabalho é um elemento transformador, não apenas do homem que trabalha, mas também da natureza, fonte – já não tão inesgotável de recursos -, além de modificador também das relações que se estabelecem na sociedade. A ampliação do processo do trabalho ensejou que o trabalhador passasse a ter garantido, por meio de leis e regulamentos, certos direitos frente ao tomador de seus serviços. Todavia, ainda que tenha havido progressos nesse âmbito, visto que constantemente novos direitos vão sendo incluídos no rol dos já existentes, nada ou quase nada foi feito para se garantir que os trabalhadores fossem capazes de tomar ciência dos efeitos de seu trabalho sobre o meio ambiente, assim como pouco tem sido feito no sentido de se procurar novas alternativas menos agressivas, no sentido de incluir o trabalhador na busca de desenvolver atividades cada vez menos nocivas à integridade dos recursos naturais. Primeiramente, porque a eles, na maioria das vezes, não cabe maior poder de decisão sobre a administração da organização; segundo, porque a busca por novas alternativas demanda, inicialmente, um dispêndio de valores que nem sempre as corporações estão dispostas a bancar. Todos os avanços referentes ao trabalho do ser humano demandam uma nova adaptação frente à degradação ambiental: é preciso uma educação ambiental para que ainda haja tempo de preservar o que resta da natureza. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2015-09-25T18:02:29Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Fabio Rodrigues.pdf: 1204403 bytes, checksum: e44c5cd9b63435e643623ed1b27ae4c7 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2015-09-25T18:02:29Z (GMT).

The expansion process of the work brought the opportunity and the guarantee to the employee by a series of laws and regulations and mainly by the rights against the employer. Although, some progress has been taken in this area, and another rights has been constantly included in this list, little or almost nothing has been done to ensure that the workers will be able and conscious from the effects of their work on the environment. Moreover, only few actions have been done in order to look for alternatives less aggressive, and to include the employee in the source and the development of new activities less harmful to the integrity of natural resources. First of all, to them, most of the times they don’t have greater power of the decisions on the administration of the organization, and second, because of the search for new alternatives request, initially, an amount of values that the corporations are not always willing to spend. All progress in the work of human beings requires a new adjustment against the environmental degradation: it is necessary an environmental education for that there is still time to preserve what remains of the nature.

The central object of this research is interdisciplinary professional development in Environmental Sciences and its influence on the field of work of graduates of the Graduate Program in Environment and Development, Federal University of Sergipe (1995-2010). This is the analysis of the changes between the period of interdisciplinary training and professional entry into the labor market as the difficulties they face in professional practice on interdisciplinary practice. It is recurrence approaches (auto) biographical, Sociology of Work, the biography educational and interdisciplinary theoretical and methodological elements as relevant to the understanding and development of the study. The research methodology is of mixed nature: qualitative, quantitative and interdisciplinary. The data collection instruments used were closed questionnaire, structured interviews, documentary sources, autobiographical accounts and electronic forms obtained in Lattes. The results demonstrate the importance of interdisciplinary training in Environmental Sciences, in their different fields of work, with its social and providing scientific discussions about the importance of stories of lives and professional careers in interdisciplinary professional development and, above all, the difficulties faced in exercise of interdisciplinary practice and contribute to the definition of public policies for interdisciplinary training and insertion in the labor market. / O objeto central dessa pesquisa é o desenvolvimento profissional interdisciplinar em Ciências Ambientais e suas influências no campo de trabalho de egressos do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Desenvolvimento e Meio Ambiente da Universidade Federal de Sergipe (1995-2010). Trata-se da análise sobre as mudanças ocorridas entre o período de formação interdisciplinar e o ingresso profissional no mercado de trabalho quanto às dificuldades que enfrentam no exercício profissional relativo à prática interdisciplinar. Faz-se recorrência às abordagens (auto) biográficas, à Sociologia do Trabalho, à biografia educativa e à interdisciplinaridade como elementos teórico-metodológicos relevantes para a compreensão e desenvolvimento do estudo. A metodologia da pesquisa é de natureza mista: qualitativa, quantitativa e interdisciplinar. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados utilizados foram questionário fechado, entrevistas semiestruturadas, fontes documentais, relatos autobiográficos e formulários eletrônicos obtidos na Plataforma Lattes. Os resultados demonstram a relevância da formação interdisciplinar em Ciências Ambientais, nos seus diferentes campos de trabalho, com suas implicações sociais e científicas propiciando discussões sobre a importância das histórias de vidas e das trajetórias profissionais no desenvolvimento profissional interdisciplinar e, sobretudo, as dificuldades enfrentadas no exercício da prática interdisciplinar bem como, contribuir com a definição de políticas públicas de formação interdisciplinar e inserção no mercado de trabalho.

Bibliography: pages 608-625. / This study is a sociological analysis of participatory-democratic organisations in 'third world' contexts. Firstly, it assesses the degree of participatory democracy in each enterprise studied. Secondly, it explores whether cooperative development is a process. Thirdly, it assesses the applicability of existing theory in the field for organisations in 'third world' contexts. The data used is predominantly qualitative, though quantitative information is utilised. Qualitative data is gathered from in-depth interviews using semi-structured questionnaires, observation and the examination of primary sources. Empirical information is analysed in the light of theoretical constructs reviewed and practical constraints identified by other researchers in the field. The key construct is an 'ideal-type' participatory-democratic organisation. Significant findings include the following: (a) cooperatives in 'third world' contexts are formed and joined primarily for material reasons; (b) specific constraints include a severe lack of basic education among cooperators, relationships of dependency between co-ops and service organisations, and a 'survival' consciousness among cooperative members; (c) the nature of relationships between cooperatives and service organisations have significant implications for co-op development; (d) there is a relationship between organisational structures and viability as an economic unit and (e) members in different positions in the enterprise have different conceptions of cooperation. The study concludes that cooperative development is a process involving different stages characterised by different degrees of participation in decision-making, viability, organisational development and cooperative consciousness.

Dissertation presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Industrial Sociology at the University of Zululand, 1999. / This research attempts to highlight the role of trade unions in industrial relations system in South Africa: A study of Mondi Kraft industry. The identified roles include, resolving conflicts between the management and the employees, improving the remunerations of the employees, creating a conducive forum for mediation and conciliation process in Mondi Kraft industry. This research confirms that lack of finance for workers to sustain themselves in the course of the strike action is one of the major reasons for ending the strike. It was also observed in this research that the ethnic factor influences individual's desire to associate with a particular trade union. Furthermore, this research showed clearly that poor education, lack of co-operation giving to union members and the hostile attitude of management towards the unions are the major problems confronting the growth and development of the trade unions.
