O objetivo da pesquisa foi compreender como os auxiliares e técnicos produzem sentidos sobre seu trabalho e sua vida. Entendendo que experiências de sofrimento emocional e transtornos psicossociais podem intervir na produção de sentido, este trabalho investigou também a qualidade de vida no trabalho e a existência de burnout. Foi utilizado o método quantitativo e qualitativo. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Inventário de Burnout de Maslach para profissionais de saúde (MBI-HSS), a escala BPSO-96 e um protocolo de entrevista semidirigida. A pesquisa foi realizada no Hospital Universitário da Universidade de São Paulo, as escalas foram aplicadas a 166 profissionais de saúde, dentre técnicos, auxiliares e outros profissionais do hospital e foram entrevistados 20 destes participantes. As escalas foram analisadas estatisticamente tanto na amostra inteira quanto segmentada em dois grupos, um de auxiliares e técnicos de enfermagem e um grupo de outros profissionais para verificar se os fenômenos observados no primeiro grupo são específicos dessa categoria profissional. As entrevistas foram categorizadas e analisadas. Os resultados apontaram alto nível de despersonalização, médio de exaustão, baixa realização pessoal.e nível médio de satisfação com a Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho, não havendo diferença estatística significativa entre os dois grupos. O momento de crise política vivenciado pelo hospital durante a coleta de dados pode ter interferido nos resultados, uma vez que as entrevistas semidirigidas revelaram insegurança, luto pela perda do hospital idealizado e insegurança quanto ao seu futuro profissional. Quanto aos sentidos produzidos, os profissionais entendem que sua prática é imprescindível para o tratamento médico, percebem-se como elo essencial entre paciente e equipe multidisciplinar e referem reconhecimento social pela atuação na área da saúde. Os auxiliares e técnicos de enfermagem revelaram ainda satisfação pelo ato de cuidar, tendo na recuperação dos pacientes e seu reconhecimento e gratidão, importante fonte de produção de sentido da prática profissional / The objective of the research was comprehending how they give meaning to their work and life. Seeing that experiences of emotional suffering and psychosocial disorders may interfere in the meaning of work, this research has also looked into the quality of work life and the existence of burnout syndrome. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used. The research instruments applied were Maslach Burnout Inventory- Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS), the BPSO-96 scale and a guide of semi structured interviews. The research was carried out at the University Hospital in São Paulo, the scales were applied to 166 health professionals, among assistants and other health professionals. 20 participants were interviewed. The scales were statically analyzed on the whole and segmented samples in two groups, one with nursing assistants and other one with other professionals, so both results were compared. The interviews were categorized and analyzed. The results have shown a high level of depersonalization, a medium level of exhaustion, a low level of personal fulfillment and a medium level of satisfaction with the quality of work life, there has not been a representative statistical difference between the two groups. The hospital was going through a political crisis during the data collection which may have interfered in the results, once the semi structured interviews have revealed insecurity, mourning over the loss of the idealized hospital and feeling of uncertainty towards their professional future. With regard to the meaning of work, the professionals understand that their practice is indispensable for medical treatments. They see themselves as a necessary link between patients and multidisciplinary teams. They also mention social recognition for the work in the health area and satisfaction when taking care of patients, seeing their recovery and gratitude as an important source of meaning in the professional practice

O envolvimento na atividade profissional da arquitetura consultiva na área de melhoria de ambientes de trabalho em indústrias levou naturalmente à necessidade de embasar teoricamente certos conceitos empíricos encontrados no dia-a-dia da profissão. A dificuldade em se definir claramente quem é o cliente dentro de um sistema complexo como uma indústria, bem como as inúmeras variáveis envolvidas na avaliação do que seria um bom ambiente de trabalho - dadas as condições intrínsecas do trabalho fabril e sua diversidade - mostraram-se um campo com infinitas possibilidades de abordagem. Uma pesquisa sem pretensões acadêmicas sobre ambientes fabris constatou, por intermédio da escassa bibliografia especializada, a pouquíssima relevância dada à arquitetura industrial e, principalmente, ao ambiente de trabalho gerado dentro das fábricas. Assim, surgiu a oportunidade de se desenvolver uma pesquisa formal cujo objetivo é sistematizar informações que possam fundamentar uma futura estrutura de avaliação pós-ocupação (APO) em indústrias, visando avaliar junto aos usuários finais, ou seja, os trabalhadores de chão de fábrica, sua satisfação em relação ao seu ambiente de trabalho. / Working with consultive architecture focused on improving industrial working conditions has led to the need of theoretical basis for some empirical concepts found on daily professional work. The difficulty on clearly defining who is the architects client in such a complex organization as an industry, as well as the countless points involved in a working environment evaluation - due to the inherent conditions of industrial work and its diversity have shown up as an extremely rich research field, with many possibilities of approach. A simple research with no academic purposes has shown the scarce specialized bibliography, evidencing the low prominence of industrial architecture in general and, above all, of industrial work environment. So, it has raised the opportunity to develop a formal research which aims to give basis to a future post-occupation evaluation (POE) structure, in order to inquire final users - wich means the factory-floor workers - their satisfaction concerning to their own work environment.

Organizations spend significant amounts of money to address low job satisfaction. As much as 16.5% of an organization's pretax income is lost due to employee withdrawal behaviors, with 27% of that amount associated with turnover. Building on the quality of working life theory, this single-site case study took place at a for-profit university located in the Midwest United States to understand the role that work-life balance programs play in employee job satisfaction. The population consisted of 6 front-line admissions managers, as that population was appropriate for understanding the work-life balance strategies college officials use to improve the job satisfaction of admissions representatives. The data collection process consisted of semistructured interviews, a review of observational field notes, and a review of employee surveys. Based on methodological triangulation of the data sources and analysis of the data, 3 emergent themes were identified. Participants indicated that both autonomy and flexibility contributed to employee job satisfaction, which the quality of working life theory and existing research on the subject supports. Participants also indicated that the manager-employee relationship was fundamental to improving job satisfaction, which was a finding outside of the scope of the conceptual framework used in the study. Social change implications include improving policy makers and business leaders' understanding of the role that work-life balance plays in job satisfaction. Employees will also find the results of this study informative when attempting to understand how work-life balance programs may contribute to the level of satisfaction they experience with their jobs.

檢視現今戶政機關的生態吾人當可發現戶政人員的流動性高，無法留任優秀之人才，此間接地影響了為民服務的品質與效率。若能藉由瞭解戶政人員對工作生活品質的知覺為何，進而瞭解其與組織承諾的關聯性，並採取相關的管理作為，必能強化戶政機關人力資源運用的效能。為求創造高品質的服務態度，以順應顧客導向的潮流，打造充滿活力與競爭力的戶政機關，故進行本研究。 本研究係以臺北市政府所屬各區戶政事務所之在職人員為問卷調查對象。除應用文獻探討法，建構本研究架構與研究假設，並採用問卷調查法，以內容包含工作生活品質量表、組織承諾量表與戶政人員基本資料等三部分之問卷為研究工具，採普查方式實施問卷測試，問卷總共發出679份，實際回收542份，問卷回收率為80％，有效問卷為480份。分別以描述性統計分析、t檢定、單因子變異數分析、雙因子變異數分析、皮爾森積差相關、多元逐步迴歸分析等方法，敘寫分析結果與結果驗證，據以提出結論與建議。 本研究發現，在工作生活品質方面：以「人際關係及參與感」、「工作內容及尊榮感」等構面的知覺滿意度最高；在組織承諾方面：以「努力承諾」構面的程度最高；在個人屬性方面：對於工作生活品質的滿意度與組織承諾的程度上，男性均高於女性；已婚者均高於未婚者；薦任職務編制者均高於委任職務編制者；行政人員均高於後線業務人員及櫃檯服務人員；主管人員均高於非主管人員。工作生活品質及其「人際關係及參與感」、「公平性」、「工作內容及尊榮感」、「工作環境」、「俸給福利」等五個構面均與組織承諾有顯著相關性。對於組織承諾的預測方面，一般而言，以「工作內容及尊榮感」的預測力最佳，其次依序為「工作環境」、「人際關係及參與感」及「俸給福利」。 戶政人員的工作生活品質確實會影響其對組織之承諾，且工作生活品質滿足感與組織承諾呈正向關係，即工作生活品質滿足感愈高者，其組織承諾亦愈高。因此，建議戶政機關採取適當的管理作為，藉由提升工作生活品質知覺程度，使戶政人員認為在戶政機關服務是一項正確選擇，值得為戶政機關付出心力，且以身為戶政人員的一份子為榮，願意繼續留在戶政機關服務。 / Examining the environment of today’s household registration office, we concluded that the turnover of household registration officers has effects on quality and efficiency of the civil service indirectly. If we can understand household registration officers’ perception of the quality of working life, we will be able to comprehend its connection to organizational commitment and take relevant management actions so as to strengthen the human resources efficiency of household registration office. For creating high quality service attitude to customers and following the customer-oriented trend, the purpose of this study is to establish a dynamic and competitive household registration office. The subjects of the study were employees in every household registration offices of Taipei City Government. Besides using literature review to construct research framework and hypotheses, this study adopted survey techniques as a research tool with questionnaire that contained scales of quality of working life and organizational commitment, and basic information of household registration officers. With the method of general census, 679 copies of questionnaire were mailed; after retrieving 542 copies, we had a return rate of 80% with effective questionnaires of 480 copies. Descriptive statistics analysis, t- test, one-way ANOVA, two-way ANOVA, Pearson’s product-moment correlation and multiple stepwise regression analysis were used for analyzing the data, verifying the results and consequently addressing the conclusions and suggestions. This study found that employees perceived the most satisfaction in the aspects of “interpersonal relationship and participation” and “job description and sense of honor” in quality of working life; and exhibited the highest level in the aspect of “hard-working promises” in organizational commitment. As to personal attributes: for the satisfaction of quality of working life and the level of organizational commitment, males were higher than females; married were higher than unmarried; the ones with recommended appointment position were higher than with ordinary appointment position; administrative staffs were higher than duty executives and staffs at counters; managers were higher than non-management personnel. There are significant correlation among organizational commitment, quality of working life and five aspects of “interpersonal relationship and participation”, “fairness”, “job description and sense of honor”, “work environment”, “wage and benefits”. As to the projection of organizational commitment in general, “job description and sense of honor” ranks the first, followed with “work environment”, “interpersonal relationship and participation” and “wage and benefits”. Quality of working life for household registration officers indeed has effects on their organizational commitment; and moreover, there is positive correlation between quality of working life and organizational commitment, that is, the more they are satisfied with quality of working life, the more they make commitment to the organization. Thus, we recommend that the household registration office shall adopt appropriate management actions by promoting the perception of quality of working life to convince the household registration officers that their decision to work here is a wise one; to encourage them it is worthy of devoting time and energy on the job; to assure them it is a privilege as part of the household registration officers and finally keep and retain them in the household registration office.

The South African hospitality industry, and more specifically the accommodation sector, is a booming industry within South African Tourism. Annually thousands of tourists, nationally and internationally, come to stay in accommodation establishments which offer a variety of services to guests (South Africa, 2009:499). What differentiates one accommodation establishment from another is the type and quality of service offered to guests. This service offered to guests can only be generated by manual labour, namely by employees. Front Office Employees in particular have direct and continual interaction with guests; Front Office Employees deliver the services required by guests and ultimately determine the satisfaction experienced by guests. A well–known saying goes "Happy workers make happy customers". The core of this saying is therefore that Front Office Employees, who experience a Quality of Work Life, will ultimately deliver exceptional service and lead the accommodation establishment to be more productive and more profitable. Quality of Work Life comprises a variety of life domains which need to be satisfied and fulfilled to result in an employer being happy. These life domains include Health and safety, Economic and family issues, Social issues, Esteem issues, Actualisation issues, Knowledge issues, Creativity and aesthetic issues, Feelings about the establishment, Management and Leisure issues. Satisfaction with these various life domains will therefore lead to a good Quality of Work Life and overall good Quality of Life being experienced. However, few studies have been conducted on the Quality of Work Life experienced within accommodation establishments and more specifically that of Front Office Employees. When employees experience a good Quality of Work Life, the accommodation establishment can expect various long–term advantages, such as higher employee productivity, lower turnover and absenteeism, increased loyalty and commitment towards the establishment and increased overall profitability. Hence in order to ensure accommodation establishments deliver excellent quality service to their guests and fulfil their needs entirely, it is essential to better understand the Front Office Employees who directly deal with the guests. This understanding can be gained by obtaining a clearer understanding of how Front Office Employees experience Quality of Work Life and the various life domains they are not satisfied with. By developing an in–depth knowledge of the Front Office Employee and how satisfied they are with their Quality of Work Life, greater satisfaction can be ensured, which will ultimately lead to the accommodation establishment being more productive and more profitable. The main goal of this study was to determine whether Front Office Employees are satisfied with their overall Quality of Work Life. In order to achieve this goal, the study comprises two articles. The research underpinning both of the articles was conducted at a specific South African resort group in June 2009 and a specific hotel group of South Africa in March 2010. A self–administrated questionnaire was distributed to the various units, according to an availability sampling method which focuses on respondents available and willing to fill in the questionnaire. A total of two hundred and ninety two (292) questionnaires were completed during the survey. From these questionnaires, data were obtained and results analysed. The first article was titled "Quality of Work Life: a comparative study of a resort group and hotel group Front Office Employees". The main purpose of this article was to determine whether Front Office Employees in the hotel group experience the same degree of Quality of Work Life as the resort group Front Office Employees. This article highlighted the importance of Front Office Employees, since they are the first and continual contact guests have with an accommodation establishment. These Front Office Employees therefore determine the type of service experienced by guests and the satisfaction they derive from it. In order for Front Office Employees to deliver quality service, the Front Office Employees should experience a Quality of Work Life. To achieve the objectives of this article, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis was first done to confirm the various life domains of Quality of Work Life as well as the various mean readings for each life domain. In addition to this, an independent t–test was performed to compare the Front Office Employees of the hotel group, with the resort group Front Office Employees with regard to how they experience their Quality of Work Life. The practical significance of the various life domains was determined in practice, by looking at the Cohen d–value. By means of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis it was determined that each life domain consisted of certain factors, ultimately leading to the concept of Quality of Work Life. With the comparison drawn between the hotel group Front Office Employees and the resort group Front Office Employees can it be accepted that the hotel group Front Office Employees are more satisfied with their Quality of Work Life than is the case with the resort group Front Office Employees. The life domains identified as having a practical visible difference effect in practice were determined. These results can therefore be utilized by human resource managers in accommodation establishments as areas on which to focus in order to improve the Quality of Work Life offered to Front Office Employees and thus the quality of service rendered to guests, which would then inevitably have an impact on the profitability of the establishment. The second article was titled "The effect of leisure life of hotel group Front Office Employees on their Quality of Work Life." The main purpose of this article was to determine the overall effect of leisure life, which is classified as one of the life domains of Quality of Work Life, on the various other life domains of Quality of Work Life. The life domain Leisure life had two factors which were identified by a confirmatory factor analysis. Once the factors had been confirmed, the relationship between Leisure life and the various other life domains were determined. The results of this research revealed that there is a relationship between leisure life and the other various life domains constituting Quality of Work Life. Hence the results are imperative for human resource managers of accommodation establishments, as the importance of leisure in Front Office Employees' lives as well as the various other life domains on which it has an impact have been indicated. Overall, the research revealed that Front Office Employees of the hotel group are more satisfied with their Quality of Work Life than is the case with the Front Office Employees of the resort group. Furthermore, the importance of Front Office Employees' leisure life was indicated by the relationship it has with the various other life domains, ultimately leading to a Quality of Work Life. This newly obtained knowledge of Front Office Employees of accommodation establishments can be applied by human resource managers in an effort to ensure that these employees experience a good Quality of Work Life which will lead the accommodation establishment to be more productive, efficient and profitable due to happier employees. / Thesis (M.A. (Tourism))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.

A presente dissertação se propõe a questionar, explorar e expor a importância dos sentidos da sobrecarga de trabalho docente nas questões de saúde do professor causando, inclusive adoecimento. A pesquisa realizou-se no magistério superior de um campus de uma Universidade Federal, na região sudoeste do Estado do Paraná. Para tanto, foi estabelecido como objetivo geral verificar no discurso de dois professores da referida Universidade, aspectos referentes à sobrecarga no trabalho e que estão, diretamente, relacionados com a saúde desses profissionais. Foram também estabelecidos como objetivos específicos verificar como os professores vivenciam a sobrecarga no trabalho e sua relação com a saúde, assim como, identificar as significações de sobrecarga no trabalho reveladas no discurso dos professores do Magistério Superior em questão e, em última instância analisar como essa sobrecarga é significada e ressignificada durante sessões de autoconfrontação. A fundamentação teórica relativa ao trabalho e trabalho do professor teve como base Marx (2014); Castel (2005); Sennet (2007); Clot (2011); Amigues (2004); Nóvoa (1999); Codo (2006); Esteve (1999) e Lemos (2005). Para a discussão da sobrecarga, Wisner (1994); Ferreira e Freire (2016) e Lemos (2005). Para o conceito de saúde, Canguilhem (2015); Morschel (2014) e Clot (2010). Para tratar da psicopatologia do trabalho; Lima (2005); Le Guillant (2006) e Bendassolli (2011). Para linguagem e sentidos, Bakhtin (2011, 2014); Lima (2015); Brait (2002); Vigotski (2009); Tezza (2007) e Amorim (2014). A metodologia utilizada na produção dos dados foi a da autoconfrontação, que é uma metodologia adotada na Clínica da Atividade. Com as autoconfrontações produzidas, iniciou-se o processo de produção dessa dissertação que envolveu: refinamento das transcrições de autoconfrontações com a visualização dos vídeos, seleção de trechos que remetessem a sentidos de sobrecarga e saúde e análise desses trechos. O estudo evidenciou a possibilidade de propostas de ação no que tange à saúde dos professores, no próprio ambiente de trabalho. Os resultados apontam também para uma mudança constante e conjunta, integrando professores e demais profissionais preocupados com a saúde docente, por meio de relações dialógicas, as quais oportunizam a construção de sentidos e o poder de ação. / The present thesis proposes to question, explore and expose the importance of the sense of the overload of teaching in the health causing sickness. The research was carried out in the university teaching of a Federal University campus in the southwest region of the State of Paraná. For this purpose, a general objective was established to verify aspects related to the work overload, which is directly related to the health of the professionals, by considering the discourse of two professors of the mentioned university. Specific objectives were settled to verify how professors experience work overload and its relation to health, as well as to identify the sense of work overload revealed in the discourse of the university professors and, finally, to analyze how this overloading is signified and re-signified during self-checking sessions. The theory related to the professor’s labor was based on Marx (2014), Castel (2005), Sennet (2007), Clot (2011), Amigues (2004), Nóvoa (1999), Codo (2006), Esteve (1999) and Lemos (2005). For the discussion of the overload, Wisner (1994), Ferreira and Freire (2016) and Lemos (2005); for the discussion of health, Canguilhem (2015), Morschel (2014) and Clot (2010); to deal with work psychopathology, Lima (2005), Le Guillant (2006) and Bendassolli (2011) and for language and sense, Bakhtin (2011, 2014), Lima (2015), Brait (2002), Vigotski (2009), Tezza (2007) and Amorim (2014). The methodology used in the production of the data was that of self-confrontation, which is a methodology adopted in the clinical activity. The dissertation involves the refinement of transcripts of self-confronts with the visualization of the videos, selection of passages that refer to the sense of overload and health and analysis. The study evidenced the possibility proposals for action regarding the health of professors in the work environment. The results also point to a constant and joint change, integrating professors and other professionals concerned about health, through dialogical relationships, which allow the construction of sense and power of action.
