Previous issue date: 2013-06-28 / This study intended to analyze to what point the use of different power bases of hierarchical superiors predict the levels of engagement at work and the resilience of workers, contributing to increase the knowledge about the behavior of municipal civil servants as to the levels of engagement at work and resilience presented. Started from the definition of power from French e Raven (1959): power is the potential influence that the agent O could cause on subject P; it was adopted the concept of engagement at work from Schaufeli and Bakker (2003), that define engagement at work as a positive motivational construct, characterized by vigor, dedication and absorption, always related to work, what implies a feeling of accomplishment, involves positive cognitive state, is persistent in time, presenting, that way, motivational and social nature, and at last, used the concept of Grotberg (2005) that defined resilience as the human capacity to face, overcome, and even be strengthened by experiences of adversity . For that, it was defined as the general goal to test the predictive capacity of the social power bases of bosses over the resilience and the engagement at work in municipal civil servants of Diadema SP. Participated on this study 95 municipal civil servants of the Diadema City, SP, with a small majority of feminine individuals (51,6%), with larger percentage of age between 25 and 40 years old (38,9%). The majority of participants (60%) declared to have a completed superior education (39,9%) or post-graduation (24,2%). The instruments used were: Bases Scale of Power of Supervisors (EBPS Escala de Bases de Poder do Supervisor), scale developed by Martins and Guimarães (2007); Resilience Evaluation Scale (EAR Escala de Avaliação da Relisiência), scale formed by Martins, Siqueira and Emilio (2011) and the UTRECHT Work Engagement Scale (UWES) that had their indicators of validity and dependability refined on this study. As a result it was partially verified the existence of association between engagement at work and resilience, because engagement at work correlated to three of the five factor of resilience: positive adaptation to changes, personal competence and persistence upfront difficulty. It was verified that the dimensions that compose the variable resilience obtained averages around the forth point of the resilience scale (frequently is true), indicating that the participants frequently notice themselves as capable of facing the adversities of life due to the high perception of persistence, capable of adapting to changes, with a good level of personal competence and spirituality. Verified that the averages on the dimensions that compose the variable of engagement at work were too close of the forth point of the engagement scale (a few times a week), indicating that the notice on themselves a high level of engagement at work, meaning they have vigor, are dedicated and let themselves get absorbed by work. Verified yet that the workers realize the Power of expertise as the most applied by their hierarchical superiors with an average of 4,46 (SD = 0,71). At last, the results conquered pointed that the part and the positioning of the command didn t provoke significant impact in none of the consequent variable, ergo, power bases don t explain resilience for the participant workers of this research as also don t predict engagement at work. / Este estudo teve a intenção de analisar até que ponto o uso de diferentes bases de poder dos superiores hierárquicos predizem os níveis de engajamento no trabalho e de resiliência dos trabalhadores, colaborando para aumentar o conhecimento sobre o comportamento dos servidores públicos municipais, quanto aos níveis de engajamento no trabalho e resiliência apresentados. Partiu-se da definição de poder de French e Raven (1959): poder é a influência potencial que o agente O poderia causar no sujeito P; adotou-se o conceito de engajamento no trabalho de Schaufeli e Bakker (2003), que definem engajamento no trabalho como um construto motivacional positivo, caracterizado por vigor, dedicação e absorção, sempre relacionado ao trabalho, o qual implica sentimento de realização, envolve estado cognitivo positivo, é persistente no tempo, apresentando, assim, natureza motivacional e social e por fim utilizou-se o conceito de Grotberg (2005) que define resiliência como a capacidade humana para enfrentar, vencer e ser fortalecido ou transformado por experiências de adversidades . Para isto, definiu-se como objetivo geral testar a capacidade preditiva das bases de poder social dos chefes sobre a resiliência e o engajamento no trabalho, em servidores públicos municipais de Diadema - SP. Participaram deste estudo 95 servidores públicos municipais do município de Diadema, SP, com pequena maioria de indivíduos do sexo feminino (51,6%), com maior percentual de idade entre 25 e 40 anos (38,9%). A maioria dos participantes (60%) declarou possuir nível superior completo (35,8%) ou pós-graduação (24,2%). Utilizou-se os instrumentos: Escala de Bases de Poder do Supervisor (EBPS), escala desenvolvida por Martins e Guimarães (2007); Escala de Avaliação da Resiliência (EAR), escala construída por Martins, Siqueira e Emilio (2011) e a Escala de Engajamento no Trabalho de UTRECHT (UWES) que tiveram seus indicadores de validade e fidedignidade apurados neste estudo. Como resultado constatou-se parcialmente a existência de associação entre engajamento no trabalho e resiliência, pois engajamento no trabalho correlacionou-se com três dos cinco fatores de resiliência: adaptação positiva à mudanças, competência pessoal e persistência diante de dificuldade. Verificou-se que as dimensões que compõem a variável resiliência obtiveram médias ao redor do ponto quatro da escala de resiliência (frequentemente é verdade), indicando que os participantes frequentemente percebem a si mesmos como capazes de enfrentar as adversidades da vida em função da sua alta percepção de persistência, capazes de adaptar-se às mudanças, com bom nível de competência pessoal e de espiritualidade. Constatou-se que as médias nas dimensões que compõem a variável engajamento no trabalho ficaram muito próximas do ponto quatro da escala de engajamento (algumas vezes na semana), indicando que eles percebem em si um alto grau engajamento no trabalho, ou seja, que possuem vigor, são dedicados e deixam-se absorver pelo trabalho. Verificou-se ainda que os trabalhadores percebem o poder de perícia como o mais empregado pelos seus superiores hierárquicos com média de 4,46 (DP= 0,71). Por fim, os resultados obtidos apontaram que o papel e o posicionamento da chefia não provocaram impacto significativo em nenhuma das variáveis consequentes, portanto, bases de poder não explicam resiliência para os trabalhadores participantes desta pesquisa como também não predisseram engajamento no trabalho.

Previous issue date: 2018-03-29 / This study’s objective is to verify the relation between the overeducation
phenomenon and the experiences of pleasure-suffering in the work of assistant
servants in administration at a Federal Teaching Institution, located in Goiânia-
Go. Therefore, it aims to describe the organization of the work to which the
workers are submitted, to investigate their experiences of pleasure-suffering, to
describe the strategies of mediation of the suffering in the work used by these
workers and to analyze the overeducation process in the researched institution.
The Psychodynamics of Work is used as the main theory to achieve the objective,
by understanding the organization of work as the way tasks are defined, divided
and distributed, the way the prescriptions are conceived, as well how do the
fiscalization, the control, the order, the direction and the hierarchy occurs. The
pleasure-suffering are defined as experiences of anguish, fear, unsafeness,
recognition and liberty of speech. Mediation strategies are responses to the
contradictions of the organization of the work, avoiding or transforming the
situations that lead to suffering. The overeducation is concerned as a phenomenon
in which the worker presents level of schooling above the required for its
occupation. The research’s data were collected by: a) meetings with the directors
of the searched organ, in order to delineate the research and explain the way as
it would be lead; b) participating visit to an operating unit (campus); c) analysis
of documents and texts referring to the organ; d) five individual interviews with
middle-level servants who already had undergraduate and / or postgraduate
degrees when they joined the institution. These interviews were analyzed by
Content Analysis and described as the results of the present document. The results
indicate lack of autonomy of the servers in the decision making; lack of recognition
on the part of the direction; bureaucratic rigidity; meaningless activities; use
individual defensive strategies as ways of dealing with the difficulties described;
existence of servers in situations of overeducation. The results suggest that over-
educated servants enjoy a false sense of pleasure, which actually camouflages the
suffering of performing meaningless activities. / Este estudo objetiva verificar a relação entre o fenômeno da sobreeducação
(overeducation) e as vivências de prazer-sofrimento no trabalho de servidores
assistentes em administração em uma Instituição Federal de Ensino, localizada
em Goiânia-Go. Para tanto, busca descrever a organização do trabalho a que os
servidores estão submetidos, investigar suas vivências de prazer-sofrimento,
descrever as estratégias de mediação do sofrimento no trabalho utilizadas por
esses trabalhadores e analisar o processo de sobreeducação na instituição
pesquisada. Tem como aporte teórico a psicodinâmica do trabalho, no qual a
organização do trabalho é conceituada como a forma como as tarefas são
definidas, divididas e distribuídas, a forma como são concebidas as prescrições,bem como a forma como se operam a fiscalização, o controle, a ordem, a direção
e a hierarquia. O prazer-sofrimento é estudado como um constructo dialético,
sendo definido como vivências de angústia, medo, insegurança, reconhecimento
e liberdade de expressão. As estratégias de mediação visam responder às
contradições da organização do trabalho, evitando ou transformando as situações
geradoras de sofrimento. Já a sobreeducação é entendida como fenômeno em que
o trabalhador apresenta nível de escolaridade acima do requerido para sua ocupação.
As etapas de pesquisa foram: a) reuniões com a direção do orgão pesquisado, a
fim de delinear a pesquisa e explicar o modo como ela seria conduzida; b)
observação participante em uma unidade de funcionamento (campus); c) análise
de documentos e textos referentes ao órgão; d) cinco entrevistas semi-
estruturadas individuais com servidores ocupantes de cargo de nível médio que já
possuíam graduação e/ou pós-graduação quando ingressaram na instituição.
Essas entrevistas foram analisadas por meio da Análise de Conteúdo e
apresentadas nos resultados da presente dissertação. Nota-se falta de autonomia
dos servidores na tomada de decisão; ausência de reconhecimento por parte da
chefia; rigidez burocrática; atividades desprovidas de sentido; uso estratégias
defensivas individuais como formas de lidar com as dificuldades descritas;
existência de servidores em situação de sobreeducação. Os resultados sugerem
que os servidores sobreeducados desfrutam de uma falsa sensação de prazer, que,
na verdade, camufla o sofrimento decorrente do desempenho de atividades
desprovidas de sentido.

The "unknown soldier" : exploring the lived experiences of mental health care users during and after a public sector workers' strikeSchoeman, Winston 06 December 2012 (has links)
This research study explored the effects of a public servants‟ strike on psychiatric patients. This is achieved through investigating the subjective lived experiences of events prior to, during and ensuing a public servants' strike. In addition, strike action within the health care sector as a worldwide phenomenon is discussed. This provides a conceptual understanding of strike action within the health care sector, as well as critical issues raised around the use of strikes as a medium of communication. During the public servants' strike of August 2010, 446 patients were discharged from a specialized psychiatric facility in the greater Gauteng region. The sample for this research was taken from this population and comprises of three (n=3) psychiatric patients, two Afrikaans speaking males and one Sotho speaking male. At the time of the interview, all three participants had been hospitalized and received further psychiatric treatment. The researcher made use of Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) as the method to gather and interpret the raw data. The data is discussed within three subordinate themes, namely the subjective experiences prior to, during and ensuing the strike. In addition global themes throughout the patient‟s subjective lived experiences are discussed without sequential significance. The results from this study support current literature that strikes have a direct impact on the treatment of psychiatric patients. In addition the subjective accounts of the patients did not indicate any significant deterioration in functioning during the strike. However in subsequent months following their discharge, all of the participants experienced some form of conflict which contributed to their rehospitalisation.

Los costos sociales de la legislación laboralAbugattas-Abusada, Said January 2015 (has links)
Busca demostrar como los altos costos de la legislación laboral operan de manera similar al control de precios, teniendo consecuencias bastante negativas para el mercado laboral y para los trabajadores. Algunos de los ejemplos que se presentan tienen como objetivo probar que, en ocasiones, una norma en favor de los trabajadores puede terminar afectando el mismo derecho que se intenta proteger. / Tesis

Consumer debt level of the Department of Health public servants in MahikengMoaisi, Lesolobe Patrick 08 May 2014 (has links)
Studies as described in the literature review indicate that most South Africans are
highly in debt. The South African Reserve Bank’s quarterly bulletin is one of the
prominent barometers for measuring household debt in the country and over the last
five years has been indicating a steady decline but still very high household debt
among South Africans. Studies have also shown that this relates to poor financial
literacy and consumer ignorance in applying basic financial management practices.
This is discussed in Chapter two of the study.
The aim of the study was to determine the consumer debt level of the Department of
Health public servants in Mahikeng, North West Province. This study used a
consumer survey to measure consumer indebtedness among public servants in
Mahikeng.
The results of the study support literature in that the study found that most public
servants are indebted. The findings also showed that 63% of the public servants
spent more than 20% of their income in servicing debt. Thirteen per cent of the
public servants taking part in the study had been served with either garnishee or
emolument orders.
The results of the study seem to suggest that public servants working for the
Department of Health in Mahikeng and taking part in the study were indebted. / Business Management / M. Com. (Business Management)
