Nesse âmbito, é indispensável considerar a figura do servidor público como ferramenta fundamental na construção de um corpo social participativo, democrático e centrado no bem comum. Dada a importância do agente público nesse processo construtivo, o propósito deste estudo foi caracterizar a qualidade de vida no trabalho (QVT) e o comprometimento organizacional, bem como sua associação na vivência dos servidores técnico-administrativos do Centro Acadêmico do Agreste da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco. Para isso, o modelo proposto por Walton (1973) foi escolhido com a finalidade de direcionar a caracterização da QVT e o modelo elaborado por Meyer e Allen (1991), para caracterizar o comprometimento organizacional. A abordagem metodológica utilizada baseou-se em um estudo de caso, de natureza quantitativa, em que 80 servidores expressaram a sua satisfação em um questionário composto por 42 variáveis. Utilizando-se da estatística descritiva, esta pesquisa apontou elevados índices de satisfação relacionados às variáveis de QVT que integram o fator constitucionalismo na organização, refletindo o respeito e o atendimento por parte da instituição às regras e aos direitos dos trabalhadores. Já no fator relevância social do trabalho na vida, destacaram-se positivamente o orgulho e a identificação do servidor com a instituição, além da imagem organizacional perante a sociedade. Sobressaem-se ainda, nos demais fatores, as variáveis que abordam a importância da função desenvolvida pelo servidor na instituição, o bom relacionamento entre os pares e a estabilidade no emprego. No que se refere à caracterização do comprometimento organizacional dos pesquisados, foi enfatizado no componente afetivo o vínculo, a integração e o significado da organização para o servidor e, no componente instrumental, a possível desestruturação da sua vida, caso deixasse a organização. De acordo com os resultados obtidos através da análise fatorial, verificou-se como resposta para o terceiro objetivo desta pesquisa a possível associação dos indicadores de QVT, que respondem pelo orgulho e a identificação do servidor com a instituição, aos indicadores do comprometimento afetivo que tratam da vinculação emocional, significado pessoal do trabalho na vida do servidor e dedicação da sua carreira à instituição. / One of the biggest challenges for public service today is to align the innovation necessary for growth and maintenance of institutions, legally and impersonally, with the needs of an increasingly demanding society. Therefore, it is essential to consider the figure of the civil servant as a fundamental tool in building a democratic and participatory social body, focused on the common good. Given the importance of public official in this constructive process, the purpose of this study was to characterize the quality of working life (QWL) and organizational commitment as well as its membership in the experience of the technical and administrative staff of the Academic Center of Federal University of Pernambuco, Agreste campus. For this, the model proposed by Walton (1973) was chosen in order to direct the characterization of QLW and the model developed by Meyer and Allen (1991) to characterize the organizational commitment. The methodological approach was based on a quantitative case study, in which 80 servers expressed their satisfaction in a questionnaire consisting of 42 variables. Using descriptive statistics, this survey showed high satisfaction levels related to QWL variables that make the constitutionalism factor in the organization, reflecting the respect and care by the institution about the workers’ rules and rights. In the social relevance of labor in life, they stood out positively pride and server identification with the institution, in addition to the organizational image to society. You stand still, in other factors, the variables that address the important function carried out by the server at the institution, the good relationship between the couple and job stability. With regard to the characterization of the respondents’ organizational commitment, it was emphasized the affective component bonding, integration and the meaning of the organization to the server and, considering the instrumental aspect, the possible disruption of their life in the case of leaving the organization. According to the results obtained by the analysis, it was found in response to the third objective of this research the possible association of QWL indicators, which account for pride and server identification with the institution, to the affective commitment indicators dealing with emotional attachment, personal meaning of work in the server life and dedication of their career to the institution.

Para tal, utilizou o Modelo Teórico de QVT de Walton e a Teoria dos Dois Fatores de Herzberg, no intuito de definir categorias conceituais aderentes a esse tipo de avaliação, bem como entrevistas estruturadas para coletar dados com os servidores das 8 (oito) secretarias departamentais do Centro de Artes e Comunicação (CAC) da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE), com vistas a examinar empiricamente a validade dessas categorias conceituais inicialmente estabelecidas, e a técnica não-métrica e multidimensional SSA (Similarity Structure Analysis) para interpretá-los. As evidências empíricas confirmaram a quase totalidade das categorias inicialmente propostas como hipóteses, demonstrando a consistência do procedimento conceitual proposto. / This research takes into account the focus of the Facet Theory with the aim of proposing a conceptual procedure for the assessment of Quality of Working Life (QWL) in public higher education institutions in the perspective of staff. For this purpose, Walton´s QWL theoretical model and Herzberg´s Two-Factor Theory have been used in this work in order to define conceptual categories related to this type of assessment. Structured interviews with members of staff from the eight department secretariats of the Center of Arts and Communication at the Federal University of Pernambuco have been conducted for data collection, in order to empirically examine the validity of these conceptual categories, initially established as well as the nonmetric and multidimensional SSA (Similarity Structure Analysis) technique for the interpretation of the data. Empirical evidence has confirmed almost all categories initially proposed as hypotheses, demonstrating the consistency of the proposed conceptual procedure.

Esta pesquisa justifica-se pela necessidade de colaborar para uma maior sistematização do conhecimento na área de estudos organizacionais que envolvem a gestão de pessoas, bem como pela necessidade de fornecer subsídios científicos para o desenvolvimento de projetos capazes de fomentar a Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho (QVT). O projeto em tela colabora para o preenchimento de uma lacuna científica ligada à Saúde nas Organizações, contribuindo também para o desenvolvimento da linha de Pesquisa Análise das Organizações de Trabalho: pessoas, conhecimento e saúde, na qual se insere. Muitos são os estudos sobre Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho (QVT), porém raros são aqueles que desenvolvem e avaliam intervenções nessa área. O objetivo geral desta pesquisa é promover a qualidade de vida no trabalho e contribuir para melhorar os indicadores de produtividade nas empresas alvo do estudo. Metodologia: pesquisa de avaliação, num delineamento com linha de base pré-intervenção, cujas medidas são comparadas àquelas obtidas ao término da intervenção (pré e pós teste); utilizando-se de levantamento relativo a indicadores de produtividade e de saúde dos funcionários. Amostra: duas organizações localizadas numa mesma cidade situada numa região central do estado S.P. Uma empresa é prestadora de serviços educacionais e a outra enquadra-se na área de alimentação. Os participantes são 18 funcionários voluntários, de ambos os sexos. Instrumentos: a) Questionário de Caracterização da Amostra e de Obtenção de Dados relativos à Produtividade e à Saúde; b) Observação e Entrevista Coletiva; c) Inventário de Respostas de Coping no Trabalho (IRC-T); d) Intervenção com Yoga Laboral (YL) desenvolvida duas vezes por semana, com duração de uma hora, durante dois meses, nas organizações em estudo. Os resultados indicaram o impacto positivo da intervenção em QVT nas duas organizações. Quanto aos indicadores de produtividade, na primeira, houve diferença significativa (p=0.0431) em faltas no trabalho. Já na organização alimentícia não houve diferença significativa, mas as porcentagens indicaram que nenhum funcionário faltou ao trabalho e houve diminuição de ausências durante a jornada de trabalho após a intervenção. Em relação aos indicadores de saúde, na organização educacional houve diferença significativa na percepção de bem estar ao final da intervenção e, no coping, diminuiu a racionalização evasiva (p=0.001) e aumentaram as alternativas compensatórias (p=0.006). No geral aumentaram as estratégias de enfrentamento e diminuíram as de evitação do estresse. Na segunda organização as mudanças ocorreram, significativamente, na forma de lidar com o estresse. Foram significativos os aumentos nos escores de Reavaliação Positiva (p=0.001) e Busca de Apoio (p=0.010). As estratégias de enfrentamento do estresse subiram (17%) e também as estratégias de evitação (14%). Portanto, confirmando as hipóteses do estudo, houve mudança nos indicadores de produtividade (absenteísmo) e de saúde (coping) após a intervenção (YL) nas duas organizações. No aspecto qualitativo, na organização educacional, as falas mostraram situações organizacionais estressantes, com alto ritmo e demanda de trabalho, contrariamente a maior flexibilidade da segunda organização. Todos os participantes verbalizaram a importância positiva da prática do Yoga para suas vidas, incluindo transferência do conhecimento para o domínio pessoal e familiar. Os resultados, embora limitados à pequena amostra, apoiam a hipótese colocada, encorajando novos estudos e a prática do YL na promoção da QVT. / This research is justified by the need to cooperate to a greater systematization of knowledge in the field of organizational studies involving the management of people, as well as the need to provide scientific input to the development of projects that can promote the Quality of Working Life (QWL). The project aims to fill a gap in scientific health-related organizations, contributing to the development of a research line named \"Analysis of Working Organizations: people, knowledge and health\", in which it occurs. There are many studies on Quality of Work Life (QWL), but rare are those who develop and evaluate interventions in this area. The objective of this research is to promote quality of work life and contribute to improving the productivity indicators in the target companies in the study. Methodology: evaluation research, design with a baseline pre-intervention, whose measurements are compared with those obtained at the end of the intervention (pre-and posttest), using survey indicators on productivity and health of employees. Sample: two organizations located in the same city and in the central region of the state SP. A company is a provider of educational services and the other fits into the eating area. The participants are 18 employee volunteers of both sexes. Instruments: a) Questionnaire Sample Characterization and Obtaining Data on Productivity and Health b) Observation and Collective Interview c) Coping Responses Inventory at Work (IRC-T), d) Yoga Intervention Labor ( YL) developed twice a week, lasting one hour, for two months, in the organizations under study. The results indicated the positive impact of QWL intervention in both organizations. In relation to productivity indicators there was a significant difference (p=0.0431) about days missed in the job. The food organization presents no significant difference, but the percentages indicated that no employee missed days of work. So the absenteeism decreased during the working days after the intervention. In relation to indicators of health, the educational organization shows no significant difference in the perception of well-being at the end of the intervention, but in coping, evasive rationalization decreased (p=0.001) and increased compensatory alternatives (p=0.006). In general coping strategies increased and decreased the avoidance of stress. The second organizational changes occurred significantly in the way of coping the stress. There were significant increases in the Positive evaluation scores (p=0.001) and Search Support (p=0.010). Strategies for coping with stress (17%) as well as avoidance strategies (14%) increased. Therefore, confirming the hypothesis of the study, there was a change in the indicators of productivity (absenteeism) and health (coping) after the intervention (YL) in both organizations. In the qualitative aspect, the educational organization showed stressful situations with a high pace and demand for labor, as opposed to the greater flexibility of the second organization. All participants talked about the importance of the positive effects of Yoga in their lives, including knowledge transfer to the personal and family domains. The results, although limited to a small sample, support the hypothesis of this study and encourage further research and the practice of YL in promoting the Quality of work life.

Este estudo tem como objetivo geral identificar as percepções de qualidade de vida no trabalho de professores de inglês utilizando-se o modelo de competências para a Gestão de Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho e a Abordagem Biopsicossocial.Foi realizado um estudo exploratório descritivo, com a idéia de tornar o fenômeno em questão familiar. O trabalho caracterizou-se como descritivo, buscando, desta maneira, identificar as variáveis que determinam os critérios de Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho na percepção dos professores. Foi utilizada a pesquisa survey, que pode ser descrita como a obtenção de dados sobre características, ações ou opiniões de determinado grupo de pessoas, por meio de um questionário. Os respondentes da pesquisa foram 91 professores de inglês, compondo uma amostra não-probabilística. Os resultados mostraram que esses professores percebem a qualidade de vida no trabalho de forma positiva, encontrando deficiência nas questões de saúde e carreira. Concluiu-se que, embora os professores de inglês demonstrem uma percepção positiva dos itens de qualidade de vida no trabalho, os resultados refletem a necessidade que as organizações têm em possuir estratégias bem definidas, pois a gestão de pessoas é prejudicada quando isso não ocorre, trazendo conseqüências no longo prazo por ações que são tomadas no curto prazo, ou seja, a gestão de carreira deve ser tratada de forma estratégica, pois a sua ausência tem afetado parte do processo de ensino, prejudicando a saúde do profissional. / The study investigated the perceptions of Quality of Working Life in the English teacher’s activities, based on the competency model for the Quality of Working Life and the Biopsychosocial Approach. It was conducted an exploratory and descriptive study, so that new ideas could be discovered through this investigation. The method chosen was the survey research, getting data about characteristics, actions and opinions within a group of people, using a questionnaire. Ninety-one English teachers attended this survey, representing a nonprobabilistic sample. The results showed that these teachers perceive positively the quality of working life, having problems in health and career matters. It was concluded that, although the English teachers demonstrate a positive perception in the quality of working life items, the results reflect the need organizations have in establishing strategies. When it doesn’t happen, it is harmful to People Management, bringing consequences in the long term. The lack of a career plan has affected part of the teaching process, causing physical diseases to the professional mentioned.

A metalurgia no agronegócio do Brasil é um setor que tem apresentado grande dinamismo e obtido resultados financeiros positivos nos últimos anos. Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo avaliar o índice de capacidade para o trabalho, traçar o perfil sociodemográfico e de estilo de vida entre trabalhadores de uma empresa metalúrgica do ramo de agronegócio, no interior paulista. Foram utilizados dois questionários: o índice de Capacidade para o Trabalho - ICT (Tuomi et ai, 1997); e outro, com dados sociodemográficos, trabalho e estilo de vida (Monteiro-Cocco, 1996). Estes estudos foram complementados através da Análise Ergonômica do Trabalho (Rhomert & Landau, 1983). É um estudo de caráter epidemiológico transversal com população de 200 trabalhadores e amostra composta por 142, com idade entre 18 e 66 anos; sendo a maioria (87,3%) do sexo masculino. A capacidade para o trabalho foi ótima para 66,9% dos indivíduos, boa para 29,6% e, moderada, para 3,5%. Foi encontrada associação estatisticamente significativa para as variáveis etilismo, movimento repetitivo, tabagismo e escolaridade. Os resultados demonstraram que pessoas que não fumavam tinham 2,3 vezes maior chance de ter um ICT melhor do que as que fumavam; as com maior escolaridade tinham chance 2,3 vezes maior de ter um ICT melhor do que as com menor escolaridade. Os principais resultados obtidos foram divulgados para os trabalhadores e diretores da empresa, visando a implementação de ações para a promoção à saúde no trabalho / Abstract: The capitalism expansion in global scale is creating new economic and social scenarios with effects on the working conditions. The metallurgy in the Brazilian agribusiness has showed great dynamism and positive financial results for the country in the last years. The aim of this study is to evaluate the working capacity, the socio-demographic profile, and the lifestyle of workers in a metallurgical industry in the agribusiness sector, located in inland São Paulo state. Two health survey questionnaires were used: the Work Ability Index - WAI (TUOMI et ai, 1977), and a questionnaire with socio-demographic, work and life style data elaborated by Monteiro-Cocco (1996). These surveys were complemented through the Ergonomic Work Analyses (RHOMERT ANO LANOAU, 1983). l1's a crosssectional epidemiological study with a sample of 142 workers out of a total population of 200 workers, with an average age of 34,04 years, most of them (87,3%) males. The work ability was considered excellent for 66,9% of the workers in the sample, good for 29,6% and moderate for 3,5%. Significant statistical association was found for the variables alcoholism, repetitive movement, tobacco addiction, and schooling. Results showed that non-smoking persons had 2,3 times more chances to have a betterWAI than the smoking ones, while those with higher number of school years attendance had a 2,3 higher chance of having a better WAI than those with less school years. The main results of the research were communicated to the workers and directors, aiming the implementation of actions to improve healthy working conditions / Mestrado / Enfermagem e Trabalho / Mestre em Enfermagem

This thesis deals with the issue of quality of work life (QWL), namely the important factors of QWL in terms of the management of non-governmental organizations (NGO). Perception of QWL has a positive effect on job satisfaction, personal well-being and job performance (its productivity and quality). The aim of this mapping study is to determine the important factors of QWL from the subjective perspective. Expert semistructured interviews were used for this purpose. The results indicate that the identified factors are identical with QWL mentioned by individual authors and institutions. The following factors were identified: absence of stress, interpersonal relationships in the workplace, support from the organization, evaluation of work, working environment. The positively evaluated factors include good relations in the workplace, need and utility of service, and self-actualization. The problematic working factors are financial conditions, obligations arising from the legislative framework, uncertainty about the sustainability of services, view of society and the low level of spatial facilities. The findings might become a contribution for organizations providing social services, be useful in easier implementation and support QWL factors, feelings of well-being at work, for selection of employees,...

Yadav & Khanna (2015) argue that quality of work life (QWL) defines the life at work and the life at home with family members. The work of research-fieldworkers is an exceptional work in that it requires them to frequent households and commercial businesses, unlike other occupations where the work is conducted at the workplace of the employer. The private households by their very nature, and the locations where these households are based present risky conditions to the research-fieldworkers. In order for remedial measures to be suggested that can be implemented to improve the QWL of the research-fieldworkers of the agency, the perceptions of the QWL need to be investigated. Research objectives: To address the research problem, research objectives and questions were established. The main objective of the study is to investigate the perceptions of the QWL of the research-fieldworkers of the research agency in the Western Cape with the goal of improving employee performance through the cost effective interventions that will be implemented. Research questions: Three research questions were established and these were; What is the QWL among the research-fieldworkers in the Western Cape? Do some groups, distinguished by gender, age, work experience, working hours and location experience significantly different levels of QWL? Which measures can be recommended for maximizing QWL among the research-fieldworkers in the Western Cape Province? Research design: The nature of this research is descriptive in nature. The study used a self-administered questionnaire to collect work-related quality of life information from research-fieldworkers. Major findings: The results above show that research-fieldworkers perceptions of the QWL were more affected by the location, working hours and age sub-groups. Gender, family responsibility and marital status did not have much impact on the perceptions of research-fieldworkers on the QWL. Differences were observed with regards to control at work, stress at work, home-work interface against sub-groups. Lastly, the fieldworkers’ perceptions about the working conditions were negative for all the sub-groups. For example, the results show that there are poor working conditions for research-fieldworkers of the agency. This was evident irrespective of gender, age, family responsibility, hours of work and location.

M.A. / Literature studies have shown that the organization, as well as the individual in the organization is directly affected by violence. The reasons and characteristics of violence have an emotional impact on the employee, and requires of him to work through the impact of incidents in his own time. The result of this process is delayed psychological growth, less creativity which eventually has an impact on productivity. Workmotivation is the force behind reaching goals individually as well as for the organization. External factors which includes violence, have an influence on the employee's ability to feel satisfied in his work situation. The goal of this research study is to determine if Eskom employees that were exposed to incidents of violence have a workmotivation profile that can be identified. A sample was selected with available statistics in Eskom, as well as the snowball method. The sample included 220 respondents. The respondents completed a unstuctured questionnaire, where they had to identify incidents in their work situation that made them feel good / happy, and incidents that made them feel bad / unhappy. The questionnaire was developed by Frederick Herzberg (1968) as part of his motivation hygiene theory where factors of worksatisfaction and rkdissatisfaction were identified. The results were computerized, and quantified by means of descriptive statistics. A workmotivation profile was constructed from the data. The study confirmed that a workmotivation profile of employees that have been subjected to incidents of violence can be identified. Determinants of worksatisfaction and work dissatisfaction were identified as responsibility, supervision, content of work, recognition, promotion, circumstances at work, personal circumstances and violence. On this profile violence received the highest percentage as a determinant of workdissatisfaction.

The dissertation thesis is focused on the quality of working life, its detection, measurement and mainly improvement. The topic of the thesis is solved in international companies. There are two points of view to the problem. The first one is the side of employee, because from all the sources available are employees the most important one. The second point of view is the side of employer. In the theoretical part there are mentioned factors influencing the quality of working life: work life balance, diversity management, gender stereotypes, religiosity, discrimination etc. The environment of international companies was narrowed to the Czech - Italian companies. For a better understanding the environment there are described labour markets of both countries as well as there is a comparison of both countries in the context of international indicators. The pilot and main research as well were realized in the Czech - Italian companies. The aim of the research was to fulfil the objectives of the thesis as well as to answer to the research questions and hypotheses.
