Darbo tikslas - nustatyti noro tęsti savanorišką veiklą Jaunimo linijoje sąsajas su įsitraukimu ir pasitenkinimu darbu bei šių veiksnių pokyčius į sprendimus sutelktos refleksijos metu. Tyrime dalyvavo 62 savanoriai, savanoriaujantys Jaunimo linijoje Vilniuje, Kaune ir Klaipėdoje. Jų tarpe buvo 53 moterys ir 9 vyrai. Savanorių amžius svyravo nuo 18 iki 36 metų. Į sprendimus sutelkta refleksijas užpildė 17 savanorių iš Kauno. Tyrimas parodė, jog žmonėms renkantis savanorišką veiklą Jaunimo linijoje svarbiausia yra padėti kitiems žmonėms, tobulinti save ir įgyti patirties ir šie trys motyvai yra labiausiai patenkinami savanoriaujant. Nors skirtumų tarp savanorių nustatyta mažai, moterys labiau nei vyrai įsitraukusios į darbą ir patenkintos darbo pobūdžiu, o psichologai ir supervizoriai jaučiasi labiausiai patenkinantys savo motyvus lyginant su kitais savanoriais. Tyrimu nustatyta, kad didėjant motyvų patenkinimui didėja pasitenkinimas darbu ir įsitraukimas į darbą. Taip pat nustatyta, kad noras tęsti savanorišką veiklą susijęs su didesniu motyvų, dėl kurių ši veikla pasirinkta, patenkinimu, saviveiksmingumu, įsitraukimu ir pasitenkinimu darbu. Taikant standartizuotus metodus, nenustatyti noro tęsti savanorišką veiklą JL, saviveiksmingumo, įsitraukimo į darbą ir pasitenkinimo darbu pokyčiai į sprendimus sutelktos refleksijos metu. Tačiau refleksijų atsakymų analizė atskleidžia, kad daugiau nei pusė savanorių įvardina pokyčius tarp refleksijų, kurie leidžia jiems manyti, jog...

Between them were 53 females and 9 males. Age group of the volunteers was from 18 till 36 years. Solution focused reflection filled 17 volunteers from Kaunas. The survey revealed, that people, who choose voluntary work in Jaunimo linija appreciate the help to other people, self improvement and experience achievement the most and these tree motives are the most fulfilled during volunteering. Though there are little differences found, females are more involved into the job and more satisfied with the job nature than males, and psychologists and supervisors fulfill their motives the most, comparing with other volunteers. The survey defined that job satisfaction and job involvement is increasing with the growth of motives fulfillment. Also, was defined that the wish to continue voluntary work is related to the better motive‘s (why this work was chosen) fulfillment, self-efficacy, involvement and job satisfaction. There was found no changes of wish to continuing volunteering, self-efficacy, job involvement and job satisfaction during Solution focused reflection using standardize methods. The analysis of Solution focused answers revealed, that more than half volunteers names... [to full text]

Text in Afrikaans / Salutogenese is 'n nuwe denkrigting wat die ouer patogeniese paradigma vervang. Daarvolgens word stres nie noodwendig in werkverband of in die mens se lewe as negatief gesien nie, maar as optimaliseringsmoontlikheid ten einde positiewe stres- en coping-uitkomstes te bewerkstellig. Hierdie navorsing het ten doel die ondersoek na die verband tussen Salutogenese en Werkorientasie as optimaliseringskonstrukte. Salutogenese is ondersoek deur onder andere te fokus op o Sin vir Koherensie o Persoonlikheidsgehardheid o Aangeleerde Vindingrykheid. Werkorientasie is ondersoek deur onder andere te fokus op o Organisasieverbintenis o Werkbetrokkenheid o Werkbevrediging. In die merra~uurron~dlerrsoelk is 'n persoonlikheidsprofiel van die optimaal-funksionerende mens saamgestel uit die eienskappe van die Salutogeniese mens en die optimaalfunksionerende werknemer, volgens intrapersoonlike (kognitiewe, affektiewe, konatiewe en fisiese) en interpersoonlike eienskappe. In die empirriese cmdlerrsoelk is 'n battery bestaande uit meetinstrumente van die konsepte, na studente uitgestuur. Die steekproef (N = 934) is in twee groepe verdeel, te wete Blankes en Ander, ten einde betekenisvolle resultate te verkry. Die battery is gefaktoranaliseer, alfa-koeffisiente is bepaal en items is geselekteer waarop die resultate gebaseer is: Produkmomentkorrelasies tussen die konsepte is vir elke groep bepaal, asook beduidende verskille tussen groepe. LISREL-ontledings is gedoen ten einde die konseptualisering van die twee konstrukte te bepaal. Uit die empiriese bevindings blyk dit dat die verskillende konsepte onderling verband hou en die konstrukte verteenwoordig. Hieruit kon 'n profiel van die Salutogeniese mens en die optimaal-funksionerende werknemer volgens intra- en interpersoonlike eienskappe opgestel word. Die verband wat die LISREL-ontledings tussen die twee konstrukte bevind het, het die integrering daarvan tot persoonlikheidsprofiel van die optimaal-funksionerende mens, bevestig. Laastens is die empiriese bevindings met die literatuurprofiel ge"integreer en daar is bevind dat daar grootliks ooreenstemming tussen die literatuur en die empiriese bevindings bestaan. Met die navorsing is bevind dat Salutogenese en Werkorientasie as twee afsonderlike konstrukte bestaansreg het, maar dat dit wei oak beduidend verband met mekaar hou. Met die integrering van die literatuur en die empiriese bevindings, is daar tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat die verband tussen die twee konstrukte optimalisering simboliseer. Dit figureer as intra- en interpersoonlike eienskappe by die optimaal-funksionerende mens. / Salutogenesis is a new approach which replaces the old pathogenic paradigm. In terms of this approach, stress need not necessarily be viewed negatively in the workplace or in the private lives of man, but as an opportunity for optimisation which can lead to positive outcomes regarding stress and coping. The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between Salutogenesis and Work Orientation as two constructs of optimisation. Salutogenesis was investigated by focusing on: o Sense of Coherence o Hardiness o Learned Resourcefulness. Work Orientation was investigated by focusing on: o Organisational Commitment o Job Involvement o Job Satisfaction. In the literature survey, the personality profile of the optimally functioning person was compiled, using the integration of the personality profile of the Salutogenic person with the personality orientation profile of the optimally functioning worker. This was done according to intrapersonal {cognitive, affective, conative and physical) and interpersonal characteristics. In the empirical investigation a battery of questionnaires dealing with the various concepts was mailed to students. The sample {N=934) was divided into two groups, namely Whites and Others, in order to obtain meaningful results. The battery was subjected to factor-analysis and coefficient alpha was calculated in order to select items on which the results could be based. Product-moment correlations for each group were calculated for the various concepts and significant differences were determined. LISREL-analyses were performed to conceptualise the two constructs. The empirical findings indicate that the different concepts which constitute the two different constructs are interrelated. The relationship between the two constructs was confirmed by a LISREL-analysis, thus validating the integration of the two constructs into a personality profile of the optimally functioning person according to intra- and interpersonal characteristics. The empirical constructs could finally be integrated with the literature profile. The research established that Salutogenesis and Work Orientation should be regarded as independent, yet related constructs. The integration of the literature and the empirical findings suggests that both constructs symbolise optimisation and manifest as intra- and interpersonal characteristics of the optimally functioning person. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / D.

A renewed interest in work has developed world-wide during the last decade. One of the reasons for this is that organizations are responding to the changing economic, social, technological and environmental demands in ways that are fundamentally transforming the nature of organizations and the meaning of work for employees. Work has changed tremendously, not only in nature but also its importance. The current demands placed on organizations and employees include, among others, global competition, cost-cutting, downsizing and restructuring and information processing on a large scale. It is intuitive to think that these changes and demands will affect employees in some way or the other. For many employees changes brought different job descriptions, more roles to fulfil and more complicated tasks to complete with more uncertainty and less clear-cut instructions. The work commitment construct has been part of a lively debate since Morrow's (1983) call for a moratorium on the development of further work commitment measures due to the existence of concept redundancy within and among the work commitment facets. It has been proposed that the work commitment construct consists of four main facets i.e. job involvement, organizational commitment, career commitment and work values. It has been unclear up to now on how these facets are interrelated. The relationships between the work commitment facets, role strain and intention to quit have also not been studied together in a single study before. The current study investigated the underlying dimensions of the work commitment construct, the underlying dimensions of each proposed facet, as well as determined the relationships among the work commitment facets, role strain and intention to quit, based on a large diverse South African sample. This was done by using Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses, the calculation of intercorrelations and Structural Equation Modeling. Each instrument was standardized for South African conditions. The results indicated that although the instruments were portable to South Africa, unique results and factors were obtained. Promising results were obtained with regard to the causal relationships among the variables. / Thesis (DPhil)--University of Pretoria, 1997. / gm2014 / Psychology / Unrestricted

Notre travail de recherche porte sur la problématique de la structuration de la gestion des ressources humaines appliquée au champ de l'aide à domicile. La proposition principale de cette recherche est que l'évaluation de la qualité de l'emploi (représentations et pratiques) articulée à l'implication organisationnelle et l'engagement au travail des aides à domicile influence très largement la gestion des ressources humaines dans le secteur de l'aide à domicile, et sa performance. Nous avons d'abord procédé à une revue de la littérature sur le secteur des services à la personne en se focalisant sur l'activité de l'aide à domicile aux personnes âgées. Ensuite, nous avons abordé les différents concepts clés : la qualité de l'emploi, l'implication organisationnelle et l'engagement au travail. Les théories de contrat psychologique et de « care » ont également été mobilisées dans le cadre des relations d'emploi. Puis nous avons réalisé successivement deux études qualitatives à l'aide d'entretiens semi-directifs auprès de salariés et de managers du secteur. Nous avons traité les données à l'aide de deux logiciels (Nvivo et Tropes). Les résultats de cette recherche montrent une hétérogénéité au niveau des représentations de la qualité de l'emploi. Bien que certains éléments positifs aient été relevés, de nombreux points d'ombre demeurent au niveau de ces représentations. Ainsi, les pratiques ne sont pas toujours convergentes, une marge de manœuvre limitée a été constatée, notamment au niveau du financement des formations des salariés. Les deux types d'acteurs qui ont été interrogés n'ont pas la même perception. L'implication organisationnelle des salariés et leur engagement au travail dans ce secteur reposent sur des critères moins classiques par rapport à d'autres domaines. Dans le champ de l'aide à domicile aux personnes âgées, la conscience professionnelle de certains salariés est déterminante et repose sur les qualités relationnelles avec les bénéficiaires. Les liens affectifs qui sont tissés, entrainent plus d'attention, de responsabilité, et le développement d'un sentiment de compétences. Dans cette recherche, tous ces éléments donnent une certaine légitimité à la théorie du care. / This research focuses on the problem of human resources management structuring in the field of home care services. The main proposal of this thesis is that, the evaluation of work quality (representations and practices) connected to work commitment and job involvement of home care employees, influence widely human resources management and its performance in this sector. We initially conducted a literature review in the sector of person-toperson services, we focused on the home care service activities. Then, we analysed the various key concepts: employment quality, work commitment and job involvement. Psychological contract and “care” theories were also mobilized within the framework of the employment relations. Then we successively carried out two qualitative studies using semi-directing interviews with the employees and managers of the sector. We analysed the data using two software (Nvivo and Tropes).We noted a heterogeneity of work quality representations. Although some positive elements were raised, a number of areas in people's representations are still unclear. The practices are not always convergent; a limited scope was noted particularly in the financing of employee's trainings. These two types of actors who were questioned do not have the same perception. Work commitment and job involvement of the employees in this sector are not based on classical criteria compared to the other fields. In the area of home care of elderly, the conscientiousness of Home Help aides is crucial and relies on interpersonal skills. The emotional ties developed between Home Help aides and users; involve more sense of responsibility and the development of a kind of competence feeling. In this research, all these elements give certain legitimacy to the “care” theory.

The research objective was to develop, through two phases involving development and validation, a measure of the psychological work contract for managerial level employees. The psychological contract is the unwritten implicit contract that forms in the minds of employees and contains the obligations and expectations that they believe exists between themselves and the organization. In the first and qualitative phase of the study, a structured interview procedure resulted in the collection of 651 responses from a convenience sample of 35 managers from seven New Zealand organizations. Responses related to what these managers believed they were obligated to provide the organization (perceived organizational expectations), and what they believed the organization was obligated to provide them (their expectations). Content analysis of these 651 statements resulted in the development of two initial measures of the psychological contract (employee obligations, organization obligations). The employee obligations measure (perceived organizational expectations of the employee) contained 16 items, and the organization obligations measure (employee expectations of the organization) contained 23 items. In the second and quantitative phase of the study, and using the same criteria for participation as for phase one, a convenience sample of 124 managers from 13 New Zealand organizations completed questionnaires. The questionnaires included the measures of psychological contract content developed in phase one of the study, and 8 organizational psychology variables to be included in a nomological network. The nomological network included intention to quit, perceived organizational support, work and job involvement, job satisfaction, career plateau, organizational commitment, person-organization fit, and 2 performance measures. A separate questionnaire covering job performance and organizational citizenship behaviour was completed by 94 of the participants' managers. Of the 54 relationships predicted in the nomological network, 41 were significant. Of the 13 non-significant relationships, 10 involved relationships with the two performance measures. The measures of the psychological contract were subjected to a construct validation process involving two steps. The first step involved item and factor analysis. Factor analysis of the two measures of the psychological contract revealed two factors in each. One factor, termed relational obligations and reflecting a collective interest between the employee and the organization, included the items that were believed to influence more directly the relationship between managers and the organization. This factor included items such as be committed to the job (an employee obligation) and provide a physically and socially safe environment (an organizational obligation). The other factor, termed transactional obligations and reflecting a self/other interest on the part of the employee, included the items that were believed to be of a more direct employment transactions nature. This factor included items such as stay true to your own values and beliefs (an employee obligation) and provide professional and personal support (an organizational obligation). In the second step of the validation process, the measures of the psychological contract were embedded into the nomological network and their relationships with the ten variables in that network were tested. Of the ten hypothesised relationships, only one emerged as significant, that being the relationship between the organization obligations component of the psychological contract and person-organization fit. Minimal support for construct validity of the measures of the psychological contract was provided confirming that further effort will be required before complete construct validity may be claimed for the measured. Although the contribution the research makes to the field of knowledge may be limited, it does provide some validation of existing measures of the psychological contract, developed in other studies using different samples. The present findings increase our knowledge of the content of the psychological contract for managers. Additionally, a methodological framework has been established for continuing research into the content of psychological contracts, including an exploration of the relationship between content and fulfilment, along with a structure for comparing the psychological contract of disparate occupational groups. The most likely explanation for the hypotheses not being fully supported is that it is fulfilment (or conversely breach or violation) of the psychological contract, rather than the content of the contract per se, that is related to the variables in the nomological network. Whilst the hypotheses were based on research that considered fulfilment of the contract, this study focussed on the content of psychological contracts. The reasons for basing the hypotheses on research that considered fulfilment, the influence of this decision on hypothesis testing, and other possible explanations for the hypotheses not finding greater support, are explored. The limitations of the study, and possible directions for future research, are discussed.

本研究的主旨在瞭解壽險業務員對於業績比賽的重要性、業績冠軍的相似性以及個人對於業績表現的控制力評估，是否會影響業務員對於自己業績表現不如他人訊息的因應，並且探討個人所採用的因應方式與後續工作投入程度的關係。本研究的樣本為國內六家壽險公司的323位現職業務員，以問卷調查的方式進行研究，使用的研究工具包含『業績比賽相關題目』、『認知評估量表』、『相似性評估量表』、『因應策略量表』及『工作投入量表』，資料分析主要採用因素分析與變異數分析等方法。 本研究的結果主要為：(一)自我關聯程度評估對於『情緒虛理』、『問題解決』與『逆來順受』因應策略產生顯著影響，並且當個人對於業績比賽的自我關聯程度評估高時，曾較自我關聯評估低組，採用較多的因應策略，而控制力變項則對於『情緒處理』、『問題解決』與『尋求支持』三種因應策略造成顯著影響，即當個人對於業績進步的控制感高時，會較控制感低的業務員，採用較少的『情緒處理』與『尋求支持』，而採用較多的『問題解決』方式來面對業績比賽不如他人的情形。(二)採用較多『情緒處理』因應策略的業務員，其後續的工作投入情形會低於採用較少本策略的業務員；而在『問題解決』因應上，則獲致相反的結果，即採用較多此策略者，其工作投入情形較高。(三)在人口統計變項中，不同的性別對於自我關聯程度、控制力、情緒處理與尋求支持因應策略、工作即生活與工作投入量表總分有影響，而不同年齡則在逆來順受與尋求支持兩變項上有差異，婚姻狀況在尋求支持、工作即生活及工作投入量表總分上有差異，不同的組織別，其控制力、問題解決與尋求支持因應策略亦有所不同。 最後，本研究根據所得結果進行檢討，並對於企業界及後續研究提出一些建議。

Thesis (MComm (Industrial Psychology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. / Globally, institutions of higher learning are characterised by continuous change, which has significant ramifications for the success and functioning of any institution of higher learning. In this context, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the perceptions of academics regarding the work environment in a transforming South African institution of higher learning and their job involvement and organisational commitment. The data were gathered by means of the Academic Work Environment Survey (AWES) measuring instrument. This measuring instrument obtained extraordinarily high reliability coefficients in the study. The results of the study indicate that academics in general have a positive perception of their job involvement and organisational commitment. These positive perceptions of job involvement and organisational commitment can largely be attributed to academics’ positive experience of a number of aspects of the academic work environment, namely low levels of role ambiguity and role conflict and high levels of autonomy, task identity, work challenge, feedback and supervisory consideration. However, attention should be paid to certain aspects such as role ambiguity, role conflict, feedback, work challenge and supervisory consideration where differences among academics’ perceptions occur as a result of personal and professional characteristics, which might pose a threat to these positive experiences in future.

本研究主要目在於針對教師組織公民行為構念的界定作進一步的釐清並結合社會交換理論、人格理論、工作內在動機、印象管理動機、以及組織文化等觀點，提出以校長與教師交換關係、教師自我監控與工作投入為個人層次預測變項，個人/集體主義為團體層次預測變項之教師組織公民行為前置因素之跨層次模式，再透過階層線性模式方法分析以探討這些前置變項對教師組織公民行為之影響以及他們之間的關係。研究採用調查研究法，以台北市37所公立國民中學教師為對象，發出925 份問卷，最後回收736份有效問卷，有效問卷回收率則為79.57％。本研究主要研究發現為: (一)教師組織公民行為應視為一個聚合模式多層面構念；(二)教師工作投入為相對最重要教師組織公民行為前置因素；(三)人格特質對教師組織公民行為的影響主要是間接透過工作投入的中介效果；(四)不同類型組織公民行為的前置因素以及效果互有差異。 / The main purpose of current study was to revisit the construct validity issues of organisational citizenship behavior and to investigate the dynamics of teachers’ organizational citizenship behavior antecedents. Based on theories of social exchange, personality, job intrinsic motivation, impression management and organizational culture, a multi-level model of teahers’ organizational citizenship behavior antecedents was proposed where leader-member exchange, self-monitering and job involvement serve as individual level antecedents, individualistic/collectivism as school level antecedent and teachers’ organizational behavior as outcome variable at individual level. Valid data was collected from 34 public junior higher schools and 736 teachers in Taipei city. The main findings can be summarised as follows: (1) teacher organizational citizenship behavior should be treated as a aggregated model multidimensional construct; (2) Relatively teachers’ job involvement is the strongest antecedent for three dimensions of OCB; (3) the effect of teachers’ conscientiousness on OCB is mediated by teachers’ job involvement; (4) the antecedents included in current study have varied significant or insignificant effects on three dimensions of teachers’ OCB.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The dynamism of modern life brought complexity and emphasis on work, along with the concern for well-being. There are several approaches to that construct, either by subjective, cognitive, social or labor perspective. Well-being at work describes the relationship between an individual and his work. Several authors have proposed structures for it, with theoretical models, dimensions and empirical evidence. However, any model was not empirically tested or it was composed of the variables such as job satisfaction (JS), job involvement (JI) and Affective Commitment to the Organization (ACO). This dissertation aimed to empirically test this theoretical model for well-being at work (WBW) composed of ACO, JS and JI from two studies. In the first, aiming at analyzing the dimensionality of the scales of each variable, exploratory factor analyses were performed by the analysis of the principal components. The sample consisted of 259 workers who responded in person and virtually to the following instruments: Affective Organizational Commitment Scale (AOCS), Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS), Job Involvement Scale (JIS) and an occupational questionnaire. The results showed that AOCS and JIS remained one-dimensional, with 5 items each scale. The JSS presented four factors, bringing 15 items in total. It was noted a significant relationship between ACO and the type of company, because the ones allocated in the private sector is more affectively committed than whoever is in public sector employment. There was also a significant association between ACO and the number of employees of the company, the fewer employees a company has, the greater the ACO. Moreover, there was a significant relationship between JS and wage increase, so that those who had an increase feel more satisfied than those who did not. The JI was related to salary increase, those who received no raise are more involved with work than those who received. The second study consisted of 206 respondents, also workers and those responded to the online questionnaire as well. When evaluating the factor structure found in Study 1 for each scale by confirmatory factor analysis, we obtained ratification of the data. However, the AOCS and JIS remained one-dimensional with 4 items each one. The JSS, after several adjustments recommended in the analysis, gathered 12 items distributed in 4 factors. In addition, a structural equation modeling was carried out to verify if the variables presented by the theoretical model of WBW is confirmed empirically in the explanatory model of WBW. The adjustment indexes indicated the existence of WBW, remaining the model with 20 items distributed unevenly in three variables. Therefore, the data show that when the employee is satisfied with the job, he feels more involved with it, shows affectively committed to the organization and tends to present well-being at work. It is thereby suggested the development of more studies on specific populations of workers in order to corroborate the influence of these variables on the constitution of the construct and, in addition, examine correlations between the WBW and other constructs. / O dinamismo da vida moderna trouxe complexidade e ênfase ao trabalho, aliados à preocupação com o bem-estar. Há várias abordagens desse construto, seja pela perspectiva subjetiva, cognitiva, social ou laboral. O bem-estar no trabalho descreve a relação existente entre o sujeito e seu trabalho. Diversos autores propuseram estruturas para ele, com modelo teórico, dimensões e comprovações empíricas. Todavia, um modelo não havia sido testado empiricamente, composto pelas variáveis satisfações no trabalho (ST), envolvimento com o trabalho (ET) e comprometimento organizacional afetivo (COA). Essa dissertação objetivou testar empiricamente tal modelo teórico para bem-estar no trabalho (BET) composto por COA, ST e ET, a partir da realização de dois estudos. No primeiro, com o objetivo de analisar a dimensionalidade das escalas de cada variável - COA, ST e ET -, foram feitas análises fatoriais exploratórias por meio da análise de componentes principais. A amostra foi composta por 259 trabalhadores que nesse estudo responderam presencial e virtualmente aos instrumentos: Escala de Comprometimento Organizacional Afetivo (ECOA), Escala de Satisfação no Trabalho (EST), Escala de Envolvimento com o Trabalho (EET) e um questionário socioprofissional. Os resultados apontaram que ECOA e EET permaneceram unidimensionais, com 5 itens cada uma das escalas. A EST apresentou 4 fatores, congregando 15 itens ao todo. Notou-se relação significativa entre COA e o tipo de empresa em que trabalha, pois quem está alocado no âmbito privado está mais comprometido afetivamente que quem se encontra em emprego público. Houve também significância entre COA e quantidade de funcionários da empresa, em que quanto menos funcionários a empresa tiver, maior o COA. Existiu ainda relação significativa entre ST e aumento salarial, de modo que quem obteve aumento sente-se mais satisfeito que quem não o recebeu. O ET apresentou relação com aumento salarial, em que aqueles que não receberam aumento estão mais envolvidos com o trabalho do que quem recebeu. O segundo estudo foi composto por 206 respondentes, também trabalhadores, que responderam ao questionário online. Ao avaliar as estruturas fatoriais encontradas no estudo 1 para cada escala, mediante análise fatorial confirmatória, obteve-se ratificação das mesmas, contudo com a retirada de alguns itens. A ECOA e a EET permaneceram unidimensionais, porém, com 4 itens cada uma. A EST, após diversos ajustes recomendados nas análises, reuniu 12 itens distribuídos em 4 fatores. Realizou-se ainda modelagem por equação estrutural para verificar se as variáveis apresentadas pelo modelo teórico de BET confirmam-se empiricamente no modelo explicativo de BET. Os índices de ajuste apontaram a existência de BET, ficando o modelo com 20 itens distribuídos desigualmente em 3 variáveis. Portanto, os dados demonstram que quando o funcionário está satisfeito com o trabalho, sente-se envolvido com o mesmo e ainda se mostra comprometido afetivamente em relação à organização em que trabalha e tende a apresentar bem-estar no trabalho. Sugere-se a elaboração de mais estudos, com populações específicas de trabalhadores, a fim de corroborar a influência destas variáveis na constituição do construto e, além disso, verificar correlações entre o BET e outros construtos.
