The aim of the work is to compare with the help of appropriately chosen procedural parameters the work efficiency of work groups, which are managed in a different way under the conditions of a change, and at the same time to establish possible connection between the management style and work efficiency. The research was made in Rohde & Schwarz Company, branch Vimperk Ltd.

This mixed methods study contains two studies that are linked together sequentially to explore the work/nonwork boundary management of home-based teleworkers through the overarching research question: Do personality traits and ICT use influence how teleworkers manage their work-nonwork boundary? Mobile ICT s such as smartphones are becoming increasingly more important for work and they can have a boundary blurring effect on the work-nonwork boundary as they may be used at anytime and anywhere. However, the issue of how personality traits influence ICT use and work-nonwork boundary management has been neglected, particularly in a teleworking context. As people manage their work-nonwork boundaries differently and some people work better at home than others, it is not known to what extent personality traits play a role in boundary management and ICT use. Study One explores the relationships between the big five personality traits of conscientiousness, extraversion and neuroticism, the facet level traits of dutifulness, gregariousness, and impulsiveness and work/nonwork boundary interruptions. It also explores the relationships between these traits and frequency of technology use for work purposes and the relationship of ICT s (smartphones, tablets and laptops) to work/nonwork boundary interruptions. Data was collected via an online survey, with recruitment from social media sites and Local Authorities totalling 391 usable responses. Conscientiousness was found to be negatively related to work-nonwork and nonwork-work interruptions, dutifulness negatively related to nonwork-work interruptions, neuroticism positively related to work-nonwork interruptions and impulsiveness positively related to nonwork-work interruptions. Personality traits were found to have small correlations to boundary interruptions which was a new finding, although it was expected that the correlations might have been larger than they were found to be. Extraversion was positively related to frequency of laptop use and extraversion and gregariousness were positively related to frequency of smartphone use, neuroticism was negatively related to frequency of smartphone use which were new findings in a work context. Frequency of ICT use was positively related to work-nonwork interruptions, with smartphones showing the highest correlation, followed by tablet and then laptop displaying a stepped effect. This finding of a stepped effect was new and suggests that the portability of smartphones makes them much easier to connect to work out of hours, than laptops and tablets. The second study included interviews from 20 participants who had completed the survey, four from each of five boundary management groups (Strong Segmentors, Strong Integrators, Moderate Managers, Work Boundary Protectors and Family Boundary Protectors). The groups were derived from scores from the survey data, in order to investigate in more depth, other factors that influenced boundary management interruptions that were not picked up in Study One and specifically the idiosyncrasies of ICT use between groups. The qualitative data was analysed via Template Analysis and the final themes in the template were Boundary Management, Crafting Work, Individual Differences, Telework and Interruptions. The theme of Boundary Management was dealt with in this study. Some key findings were that Study Two built upon Study One by finding that proactivity was a key theme and that this trait may be particularly active while individuals are teleworking due to the context. ICT s were used in a way that reflected the wide ranging boundary management preferences of the individuals using them.

It the question is a study developed by means of documentary analysis complemented with interviews semi-structured with social subjects wrapped in the process of implementation of the Politics of Social work in the city of Boa Vista-RR. The objective is to discuss the management of the work in the Politics of Social work taking as a base to Operational Basic Standard of Human Resources NOB-RH set up in 2006 and like backdrop the historical configuration of the State of Roraima. The above-mentioned study contemplates three different, however complementary moments. In the first one, it the question is the Social work like politics of social protection, doing a short approach of the development of the social protection in the world and in Brazil, next, to wrap the discussion of the legal landmarks of the Brazilian Social work: Federal constitution of 1998, the Organic Law of the Social work, the National Politics of the Social work, the Operational Basic Standard of the System Only one of the Social work, besides the Operational Basic Standard of Human Resources NOB-RH. Next, there are analysed the world of the work and the politics of work in Brazil, tackling the historical evolution of the work in Brazil, the labor legislation and his relation with the social Brazilian protection. At this moment, there is discussed the Politics of Human Resources of the Social work, referenced in the axles of the NOB-RH and his relation with the quality of the services, benefits, programs and projects given by the politics of social work. Finally, the last moment is dedicated to the treatment of the workers of the Social work in Roraima. Take the vision which social workers and psychologists have on the implementation of the NOB-RH in the state, being considered the process of insertion, the qualification and the conditions of work of these professionals. / A gestão do trabalho no âmbito do SUAS. Trata-se de um estudo desenvolvido mediante análise documental complementada com entrevistas semiestruturadas com sujeitos sociais envolvidos no processo de implementação da Política de Assistência Social na cidade de Boa Vista-RR. Seu objetivo é discutir a gestão do trabalho na Política de Assistência Social tendo por base a Norma Operacional Básica de Recursos Humanos NOB-RH, instituída em 2006 e como pano de fundo a configuração histórica do Estado de Roraima. O referido estudo contempla três momentos distintos, porém complementares. No primeiro, trata-se da Assistência Social como política de proteção social, fazendo uma breve abordagem do desenvolvimento da proteção social no mundo e no Brasil para, em seguida, envolver a discussão dos marcos legais da Assistência Social brasileira: Constituição Federal de 1998, a Lei Orgânica da Assistência Social, a Política Nacional da Assistência Social, a Norma Operacional Básica do Sistema Único da Assistência Social, além da Norma Operacional Básica de Recursos Humanos NOB-RH. Em seguida, analisa-se o mundo do trabalho e as políticas de trabalho no Brasil, enfocando a evolução histórica do trabalho no Brasil, a legislação trabalhista e sua relação com a proteção social brasileira. Nesse momento, é discutida a Política de Recursos Humanos da Assistência Social, referenciada nos eixos da NOB-RH e sua relação com a qualidade dos serviços, benefícios, programas e projetos prestados pela política de assistência social.
