No. of bitstreams: 1 WALLISON FERNANDO DA SILVA – DISSERTAÇÃO (PPGCC) 2018.pdf: 954418 bytes, checksum: 28a173bee780c8779665994e97c94653 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-03-01 / Com o crescimento rápido do mercado para software, a necessidade de profissionais nas empresas de desenvolvimento está em alta, porém, há estudos que indicam um alta taxa de rotatividade de profissionais, já que profissionais mudam de empresa em um curto período de tempo. Devido a esse fato, as empresas estão preocupadas em manter seus profissionais o maior tempo possível, evitando gastos com novas contratações, treinamentos e perda de bons profissionais, pois alguns profissionais de software possuem habilidades intelectuais especializadas, e para treinar outros com o mesmo propósito, pode levar bastante tempo até que o novato se torne produtivo. Além disso, também há estudos que evidenciam que a motivação possui influência no sucesso ou fracasso de projetos, do mesmo jeito que outros relacionam a motivação com a rotatividade de profissionais de software, de modo que os profissionais busquem empregos menos estressantes, mais significativos, com mais valorização e melhores condições de trabalho. Este estudo relaciona aspectos de motivação e rotatividade de profissionais em empresas de software no Brasil utilizando uma adaptação do modelo Job Characteristics Model (JCM) de Hackman e Oldham. Através de um questionário baseado no modelo, coletamos respostas de 102 profissionais de desenvolvimento de software no Brasil, que geraram resultados através de uma pontuação potencial motivacional (MPS). Desta forma, pudemos coletar dados de motivação dos profissionais sobre o emprego anterior. Os dados mostram que mais de 76% dos profissionais, exatamente 78 saíram do emprego anterior voluntariamente, sugerindo uma taxa alta de rotatividade de profissionais. Também conseguimos observar alguns aspectos de motivação mais críticos, observamos que 73% dos profissionais apresentaram exaustão elevada no emprego anterior, 71% possuíam baixa autonomia, e 69% sentiam baixa satisfação no trabalho. Esse estudo pode ajudar as companhias de software a entender quais são os problemas de motivação no desenvolvimento de software, visando melhorar o ambiente e cultura de trabalho para motivar os empregados, e assim, reduzir a taxa de rotatividade de profissionais. / With the fast increase of the software market, the demand of professionals is also increasing, so there are studies that indicate a high rate of staff turnover, since many professionals move to other companies in a short time. Due to this reason, the companies are concerned to keep their professionals as long time as possible, avoiding costs with new hires, training and loss of good professionals, since some software professionals have specialized intellectual skills, and to train others for the same purpose, it may take a long time until the new hire becomes productive. In addition, also there are studies showing evidence that motivation has an influence on the success or failure of projects, as well as, others relate the motivation to staff turnover in software development, so the professionals look for jobs less stressful, more significant, with more appreciation and better working conditions. This study relates motivation aspects to staff turnover of software companies in Brazil, using an adaptation of the model Job Characteristics Model (JCM) of Hackman and Oldham. Through a survey instrument based on the model, we collected answers from 102 software development professionals in Brazil that generated results through motivational potential score (MPS). Thus, we could collect data of motivation of professionals over the last job. The data show that more than 76% of professionals, exactly 78 left the last job voluntarily, suggesting a high staff turnover rate. Also, we observed some most critical motivation aspects, we identified that 73% of the professionals presented high level of exhaustion in their last job, 71% had low Autonomy, and 69% felt low satisfaction in the job. This study can help software companies to understand which are the most motivation problems in software development to improve the work environment and culture to motivate employees, and so, reduce staff turnover rate.

Job satisfaction of research librarians in selected research libraries in the Western Cape

Zaal, Wilhelmina Elizabeth January 2012 (has links)
Magister Bibliothecologiae - MBibl / The study examines job satisfaction among research librarians in selected research libraries situated in the Western Cape region. Many studies worldwide have been done on job satisfaction in various subject fields including librarianship. The theoretical framework for this study refers however only on the Job Characteristics Model (JCM) (1976) of Hackman and Oldham. The reason why this model was chosen was because this model was the most appropriate model given the nature of the study, even though there are other models available. A brief overview of the other theoretical models namely; Maslow's (1943) hierarchy of needs and Herzberg's (1954) two factor theory of motivation are discussed as a starting point of this research study. Research librarians work under stressful conditions given the need to produce successful end results.
