The analysis of the medical leaves was accomplished by means of archive data of the electronic system used by the company. These provided the acknowledgment of the employees' sociodemographic data, as well as the depiction of the employees' absence regarding the type of sickness leave and medical diagnosis classified by the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). In the period studied, a total of 17.592 medical leaves were identified, resulting in 19.227 days of absenteeism-disease, produced on average by 1.745 employees. The absent professionals' mean age due to sickness absenteeism ranged from 20 to 37 years old, which represents (82,56%); as for gender, it was higher among male employees (85,58%).

The present study aims to identify the process of work precarization in supermarket sector in Natal municipality. The choice for this sector and professional category is based on low investment in studies on the commercial sector and on technological and administrative transformations that supermarkets have implemented. After a bibliographical review, ten indicators of precarization were chosen which permitted to set up a schedule to interviews and its application to employees of two supermarkets (local companies) in Natal area. The following working functions were chosen to participate in the survey: cashier, display assistant (shelf-stacker) and attendants (N=6). From the interviews we developed an analysis of categorical contents in order to identify the presence of precarization indicators. Categorizations allowed us to identify five major themes: work categorization; work meaning: its attributes; work meaning: work centrality; comments on the employment of apprentices or trainees; and transversal work contents. Such themes contents express or not the presence of precarization process at supermarket sector in Natal area. Precarious work is identified in participants speech when they refer to the employees decreasing power in salaries negotiation between them and employers that institute the precarious work conditions / A precariza??o do trabalho, processo situado historicamente p?s III Revolu??o Industrial, se expressa como uma das faces das mudan?as no modo de produ??o e nas condi??es de trabalho. O presente estudo tem por objetivo identificar o processo de precariza??o do trabalho no setor de supermercados da cidade de Natal. A escolha por este setor e categoria profissional decorre do pouco investimento em estudos no setor de com?rcio e das transforma??es tecnol?gicas e administrativas que os supermercados vem executando. Ap?s a revis?o de literatura nos foi poss?vel elencar dez indicadores da precariza??o que permitiram a estrutura??o de um roteiro de entrevista e aplica??o do mesmo junto aos empregados de dois supermercados (empresas locais) da cidade de Natal. Foram escolhidos seis trabalhadores de diferentes fun??es para participarem da pesquisa: operador de caixa, repositor de mercadorias e atendente enquanto participantes da pesquisa. A partir das entrevistas transcritas desenvolveu-se uma an?lise de conte?do categ?rica a fim de identificar a presen?a ou n?o dos indicadores da precariza??o. A categoriza??o nos permitiu identificar cinco grandes temas: caracteriza??o do emprego; significado do trabalho: seus atributo; significado do trabalho: centralidade do trabalho; coment?rios sobre a contrata??o de aprendizes ou estagi?rios e conte?dos transversais ao trabalho. Os conte?dos de tais temas expressam a presen?a ou n?o do processo de precariza??o no setor de supermercados de Natal. O trabalho precarizado ? identificado na fala dos participantes quando se referem ? perda do poder de negocia??o salarial entre empregados e propriet?rios e naturalizam as prec?rias condi??es de trabalho

Este trabalho descreve alguns aspectos da qualidade de vida das mulheres trabalhadoras de creche com o objetivo de oferecer subsídios para a melhoria das suas condições de trabalho. Cento e cinquenta e quatro mulheres, constituiram o universo da investigação, funcionárias das 7 creches conveniadas do Bairro Bela Vista com a Prefeitura Municipal de São Paulo, Brasil. Foram realizadas entrevistas, utilizando um formulário em que se consideraram as seguintes variáveis: características sócio-demográficas, opiniões e hábitos pessoais, condições de saúde, acesso a serviços de saúde, ocupação, posse de bens de consumo e nível sócio-econômico, vida profissional, condições e satisfação com o trabalho, escolaridade e ocupação dos maridos, dupla jornada, sindicalização, lazer, conhecimentos, atitudes e práticas no que diz respeito a direitos humanos. Os resultados desse survey mostram que a maioria das trabalhadoras de creche têm baixa escolaridade, isto é, 52,6 por cento frequentaram somente até o ginasial incompleto e 20,1 por cento têm o curso primário incompleto. Têm baixo nível sócio-econômico (classes D e E); 70 por cento têm filhos e 45 por cento são chefes de família. Estão na faixa etária de 18 a 61 anos. Em relação ao salário, 55 por cento recebem apenas de 2 a 3 salários mensais e 25 por cento de 3 a 4 salários. Com relação às moradias, apenas 35 por cento moram no centro da cidade, próximo ao local onde trabalham, as demais dependem de condução para o acesso; 35 por cento possuem casas próprias, 27 por cento moram em pequenos apartamentos e quitinetes e 13 por cento em cortiços. Para atendimento médico, 70 por cento procuram os hospitais localizados na região central por causa do atendimento imediato que oferecem. As Unidades Básicas de Saúde são utilizadas por 61 por cento das mulheres e os Pronto Socorros por 57 por cento . Só 21 por cento possuem convênio médico, principalmente porque os maridos têm direito. O tempo livre das entrevistadas é muito restrito, assim, suas atividades de lazer se resumem principalmente em ouvir rádio e assistir a TV. Com relação à leitura, as revistas foram citadas por mais da metade e os livros por 45 por cento , mas os jornais são lidos raramente. Nos finais de semana, a maioria usa o tempo livre para realizar serviços domésticos. Há muita rotatividade de funcionários nas creches, 49 por cento estão trabalhando há 2 anos ou menos e 24 por cento de 3 a 6 anos. Sessenta por cento trabalham na creche 8 horas/dia, com uma hora de almoço e, em casa, continuam com suas obrigações domésticas (dupla jornada). Quarenta e três por cento (43 por cento ) das mulheres mencionaram não ter feito nenhum curso, reciclagem ou treinamento depois que começaram a trabalhar. Das 944 crianças que frequentavam a creche por ocasião do estudo, só 20 por cento eram filhos dessas trabalhadoras. A opinião das entrevistadas em sua maioria é favorável à creche. Têm poucos conhecimentos em relação a seus direitos de trabalhadora, à aposentadoria, licenças, faltas e outros. Consideram que o Sindicato é importante na luta pelos interesses da categoria, mas a maioria não é associada e nem participa de reuniões ou outros eventos. Conhecem pouco sobre o Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente. Propuseram, visando a melhoria do trabalho na creche, a realização de cursos de capacitação, aquisição de alguns recursos materiais e humanos, trabalho com os funcionários para aperfeiçoar as relações interpessoais, mudanças no horário e melhor salário. É importante que as opiniões das trabalhadoras, expressas nesta pesquisa, sejam levadas em consideração para a melhoria das suas condições de trabalho. / This work describes some aspects of the quality of life of women working in nurseries. It aims at providing subsidies to improve work conditions in the day care center. The universe of the study consisted of one hundred and fifty four women who worked at the seven nurseries maintained by an agreement between the local Bela Vista District Committee and the São Paulo City Hall, Brazil. The subjects were interviewed by means of a formulary in which the following variables were taken into consideration: social and demographic characteristics, personal habits and opinion, health conditions, access to health services, occupation, possession of consumer goods and social economic level, professional life, work conditions and job satisfaction, schooling and occupation of husbands, necessity of working all day, belonging to labor unions membership, leisure as well as knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding human rights. The results of this survey showed that the majority of the women had low educational, social and economic standards; 52,6 per cent never ended secondary school and 20,1 per cent had not completed primary school. They belonged, moreover, to a low social economic class (classes D and E); 70 per cent had children and 45 per cent were heads of their families. Their ages varied from 18 to 61 years. As regards income, 55.0 per cent earned 2 to 3 minimum wages per month and 25.0 per cent earned from 3 to 4. As to their dwellings, 35.0 per cent lived downtown, near their workplaces and others depended on transportation to get to work. 35.0 per cent of the subjects owned their homes; 27.0 per cent lived in small apartments and 13.0 per cent in slums. Health centers were used by 61.0 per cent of the women and 57.0 per cent used Emergency Units; 21.0 per cent were enrolled in the health insurance plan of their husbands. In relation to medicai care, 70.0 per cent prefered to report to the downtown hospitals due to the prompt attention offered by those units. Their spare time was scarce and was mostly used for leisure by listening to the radio or watching TV. As to reading activities, more than half of the subjects mentioned reading magazines and 45.0 per cent books, but newspapers were hardly read at all. On newspapers most of the women used their time in housework activities. There was a high turnover of employees in the studied nurseries; as much as 49.0 per cent of the subjects had been working for only two years or even less and 24.0 per cent from 3 to 6 years. As much as 60.0 per cent of the subjects worked 8 hours a day besides the lunch hour and once home got their housework under way. As regards courses, 43.0 per cent of the women mentioned not having attended any at all or even participated in training programmes after having started to work. Only 20.0 per cent of the 944 children of the nurseries at the time of this study belonged to the interviewed subjects. Most of the subjects expressed themselves highly as regards the nurseries. They had scant knowledge about their rights as employees in reference to\' retirement, sick-leaves, abscences and so on. They considered the labour unions important in striving for better conditions but most of them were not members and did not even participate in their meetings or other events. They knew very little about The Child and the Adolescent Bylaw. Some measures were proposed by the interviewed subjects in order to improve job quality in the nurseries such as: in-service courses, acquisition of human and material resources, activies aiming at improving employees\' interpersonal relationships, timetable changes and better wages. It is important that the employees\' opinions presented in this study be taken into account by the administrators so as to improve their job conditions.

A Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) visa à reorganização do modelo de atenção à saúde no Brasil, desde 1994. Constitui-se como a porta prioritária de acesso do usuário ao sistema, tendo como norte os princípios organizacionais e doutrinários do Sistema Único de Saúde. O Ministério da Saúde determina uma equipe multiprofissional, na qual cada trabalhador executa um conjunto de ações em separado, porém constantemente, buscando articulá-las às ações dos demais agentes. Os profissionais dessas equipes são cotidianamente desafiados em sua rotina de trabalho, pois este novo modelo de atenção, trouxe mudanças nas condições de trabalho, como novas formas de contrato de trabalho, consideradas algumas vezes, precárias, na qual deixam os enfermeiros expostos aos riscos psicossociais. Entende-se por riscos psicossociais no trabalho, aqueles relacionados à concepção, organização e gestão do trabalho, os quais, quando presentes, podem gerar prejuízo físico, mental ou social aos trabalhadores. Este estudo objetivou analisar as condições de trabalho dos enfermeiros da Estratégia Saúde da Família, identificando riscos psicossociais, relacionados ao seu trabalho, e estratégias utilizadas para minimizar os riscos presentes. Trata-se de um estudo do tipo exploratório, de abordagem qualitativa dos dados, na modalidade temática. Participaram do estudo os enfermeiros de 18 unidades de ESFs. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas para identificar as condições de trabalho dos enfermeiros, no que diz respeito às modalidades dos contratos de trabalho, aos órgãos responsáveis pelas contratações, às jornadas de trabalho diárias e semanais e aos benefícios assegurados pela instituição, bem como os riscos presentes no seu trabalho. A análise do material foi executada por meio do agrupamento e classificação das unidades temáticas em três temas centrais: \"As condições de trabalho dos Enfermeiros da Estratégia Saúde da Família\"; \"Riscos psicossociais relacionados ao trabalho dos Enfermeiros da Estratégia Saúde da Família\" e \"Estratégias de gerenciamento de riscos psicossociais\". Os riscos psicossociais foram agrupados em sete categorias: Capacitação profissional; Relacionamento interpessoal; Interface: trabalho e família; Violência psicológica; Ambiente e equipamento de trabalho; Recursos humanos; Carga e esquema de trabalho. As estratégias utilizadas para o controle destes riscos são predominantemente individuais, já que inexistem ações da instituição neste sentido. As principais estratégias individuais encontradas foram: prática de atividade física, apoio espiritual, terapia com psicólogo e meditação. Com base nos riscos encontrados foi elaborado um folheto explicativo com o intuito de nortear enfermeiros e gestores no gerenciamento destes riscos. Dentro da perspectiva de que este é um problema do trabalhador da saúde coletiva no Brasil, emergem deste estudo sugestões e considerações que podem nortear as discussões para a estruturação de novas equipes de Saúde da Família, tais como: qualificação profissional, recursos humanos e materiais em quantidade e qualidade, condições de trabalho justas, suporte emocional e social aos enfermeiros / The Family Health Strategy aims to reorganization the health care model in Brazil since 1994. It is the prime access entrance for the health system user, substantiated in the principles of the Unified Health System, organizational and doctrinal. The Ministry of Health determines a multiprofessional team, being that each worker performs his own set of actions, seeking however, constantly, to articulate those actions with the other agents. The professionals of these teams, in yours daily routine, are constantly challenged by their work, because this new attention´s model had brought changes in work conditions, like new forms of work contracts, while these sometimes are considered precarious, in which the nurses are exposed to psychosocial risks. Occupational psychosocial risks are comprehended by those which are related to work´s conception, organization and management, that when is present, may bring physical, mental or social harms to the workers. This study proposes to analyze the nurses´s work conditions in the Family Health Strategy, identifying psychosocial risks associated with their work and what would be strategies used to minimize present risks. This is an exploratory type study, with qualitative data approach and thematic class. The nurses from 18 units of the FHSs participated in the study. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews to identify the nurses´s work conditions, according to the kind of employment contracts, contracting company agencies, daily and weekly workdays, the benefits insured by the institution as well as the risks present in its work. The material analysis was made through grouping and by classification of thematic units, into three central themes: \"The Nurses´s work conditions in the Family Health Strategy\"; \"Psychosocial risks related to the Nurse\'s work in the Family Health Strategy\" and \"Psychosocial risk management strategies\". Psychosocial risks were grouped into 7 categories: Professional qualification; Interpersonal relationship; Interface: family/work; Psychological violence; Workplace and work equipment; Human resources; Workload and work plan. The strategies used to control these risks are often individual, once that in this proposition, there are no institution actions. The main individual strategies were: physical activity practice, spiritual help, therapies with psychologist and meditation. Based on the risks involved, an explanatory brochure was prepared with the purpose of guiding nurses and service managers in the implementation of strategies for the management of these risks. Comprising that is a problem of the collective health workers in Brazil, from this study some suggestions/considerations had appears, that may lead the discussions for the structuration of the new Family Health teams, such as: professional qualification, quantity and quality of the human and material resources, fair work conditions and nurses´s emotional and social support

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur proffessionstillhörighet och antal copingstrategier respondenterna använder, påverkar skattad stress samt att studera hur arbetsfaktorer påverkar skattad stress. Totalt 84 personer, inom samma organisation, fördelade över två avdelningar med olika arbetsuppgifter - besvarade en enkätundersökning, om stress, coping och arbetsfaktorer. Resultatet av undersökningen visar på en tendens att de respondenter som använder sig av ett fåtal copingstrategier har en lägre skattad stressnivå, (borderline-signifikans), samt att avdelning inte påverkar antalet använda copingstrategier (dvs. ingen interaktionseffekt mellan antalet använda copingstrategier och avdelning). Resultatet visar även att arbetsfaktorerna, vilka delades upp i fyra kategorier; otydlig organisation och konflikter, individuella krav och engagemang, inflytande på arbetet samt konflikt mellan arbete och fritid, predicerar den skattade stressnivån och speciellt individuella krav och engagemang var den kategori som påverkade den skattade stressnivån.Nyckelord: / The purpose of this study was to examine how profession and number of coping strategies used by the respondents affected the estimated stress level and to study the impact on estimated stress level of work factors. 84 persons within the same organization, allocated over two different departments, with different tasks - responded to a survey, about stress, coping and work factors. The results of this study showed a tendency that people who use few coping strategies, showed a lower level of estimated stress (borderline significance), and the number of used coping strategies do not depend on department (i.e. there were no interaction effect between the number of used coping strategies and department). Furthermore, the result showed that work factors, which were categorized into four groups; vague organization, individual demands and commitment, influence over work, and conflict between work and spare time, predict the estimated stress level, especially the individual demands and commitment category affected the estimated stress level.

Vi har gjort en kvalitativ intervjustudie av hur de anställda på Svensk Kassaservice upplever att deras arbetssituation har förändrats efter omorganiseringen av Posten. Vi har intervjuat nio stycken kvinnor från olika kontor i fackförbundet SEKO:s Värmlandsdistrikt med hjälp av en halvstrukturerad intervjuguide. Vår teoretiska grund bygger på Karaseks krav- och kontrollmodell samt ett antal andra modeller för arbetstillfredsställelse. Vi har även använt oss av några psykologiska teorier för att förklara de aspekter som inte inryms i de tidigare nämnda modellerna. Intervjuerna genomfördes under oktober månad 2005 och analyserades sedan med hjälp av öppen kodning, där cirka sjuttio koncept bildades och sedan delades in i fem kategorier. Resultatet visar att de intervjuade upplever sin arbetssituation som klart försämrad efter omorganiseringen. Detta beror bland annat på att deras arbeten blivit mindre kvalificerade, att deras tjänster efterfrågas i allt mindre utsträckning och att de fått en mera otrygg arbetssituation. Vi kom också fram till att intervjupersonerna upplevde och hanterade sin situation på olika sätt och att detta påverkade deras inställning till omorganiseringens konsekvenser och sin egen situation.

Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att arbeta i hemsjukvården och därmed få ökad kunskap och kännedom om villkoren för nattarbete. Studien hade en kvalitativ deskriptiv design och fjorton sjuksköterskor besvarade frågeformulären. Materialet analyserades med hjälp av innehållsanalys. Resultatet utmynnade från ett tema med följande kategorier, nattarbete ett val av praktiska skäl, vidgat perspektiv ger arbetstillfredsställelse och insikten om arbetets komplexitet ger en känsla av otillfredsställelse. Majoriteten av sjuksköterskorna valde att arbeta inom nattpatrullen för att tjäna extra pengar, samt på grund av närheten till arbetet. Samtliga sjuksköterskor påtalade vikten av att ha tillräckligt med tid vid hembesöken. Flertalet män ansåg dock sin kompetens för hög för de arbetsuppgifter de utförde i hemsjukvården. Att de sedan valt att fortsätta arbeta inom nattpatrullen berodde på att de upplevde arbetet som självständigt, fritt och stimulerande. Sjuksköterskorna påpekade att de inte kände sig delaktiga i beslut. Flera påtalade att cheferna inte hade någon förståelse för deras arbetsvillkor. Behovet av hemsjukvård ökar och mer personal kommer att behövas. Att rekrytera och behålla sjuksköterskor inom hemsjukvården är en utmaning. Det är därför av vikt att ta reda på hur vårdpersonal upplever sina arbetsvillkor och vad som kan locka fler att arbeta inom hemsjukvården. / The purpose of this study was to describe nurses' experiences of working in home health care and thus enhance the understanding and knowledge of the conditions of night work. The study had a qualitative descriptive design and fourteen nurses answered the questionnaires. The material was analysed using content analysis. The analysis resulted from a theme with the following categories: night work as a choice for practical reasons, broader perspective gives job satisfaction and the recognition of the complexity of the work gives a sense of dissatisfaction. The majority of the nurses chose to work in night patrol to earn extra money, as well as the close proximity to their work. All the nurses emphasised the importance of having enough time at home visits. Most men, however, considered their skills too advanced for the tasks they performed in home nursing. That they then chose to remain with the night patrol was because they experienced their work as independent, free and stimulating. The nurses said that they felt left out when it came to decisions. Several complained that the managers had no understanding of their working conditions. The need for home care will increase and more staff will be needed. To recruit and retain nurses within home care is a challenge. It is therefore important to find out how health professionals perceive their working conditions and discover what might attract more people to work in home health care.

The thesis is based on a research project called Learning-in-partnership, abbreviated to “Learnpartner”. The work was organized as a joint research project between Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Germany, and managed by Leeds University Business School in the UK. Our project task was to describe best practice for partnership-based work on the labour market within the European steel and metal industry when responding to the process of restructuring.The research was based on case studies in two Swedish companies, where we conducted interviews with trade union people, employees, managers, and human resource personnel. The qualitative design was supplemented with interactive methods during discussions, workshops, and seminars, which meant involving practitioners from both the companies and the trade unions in interpreting the results. The theoretical framework relates to work organisations, industrial relations, competence development as well as conditions for sustainable development. In order to describe the research findings in this thesis, a model was used to highlight different factors that can influence change processes.The report describes empirical findings regarding the consequences of change processes taking place at organisational and at individual level. The results show that both the companies have been successful when it comes to responding to the restructuring process; however, there are some differences at individual level. The thesis highlights certain factors such as; management strategies, trade union involvement, workteams, employee participation and follow-up and discusses how they influence the entire process and the outcomes of restructuring work.Hanne knows the steel industry from her childhood. She grew up in a small district in Sweden where the steel mill was the biggest and (almost) the only employer. Her parents and brothers worked there until the rolling mill was closed down. Her previous relationship with the world of steel helped her while working on the thesis, and gave her some kind of justification to be inquisitive. Hanne Randle is a researcher and PhD-student at Karlstad University – department of Working Life Science. Besides from industrial relations and partnership, Hanne has researched; conditions for developing sustainable public sector jobs, developing a European standard for vocational education and training for explosive sector workers, older workers and lifelong learning, and workplace learning. As a mean to develop a joint learning process between researchers and practitioner her method in research is to involve participants into the whole process of the research.
