Research suggests that social prescribing schemes can offer health and psychological wellbeing benefits to older people across a range of interventions. The present study sought to understand how museum programmes, designed to support socially isolated older adults, created opportunities to enhance wellbeing and change experiences of social isolation. A grounded theory approach was used to analyse initial interviews, 3-month follow-up interviews, and participant diaries, from 12 participants who took part in 10-week programmes across six different museums in London and Kent. A theoretical model was developed showing elements of museum programmes, such as the role of the facilitator, activities and physical space, that enabled both individual journeys and relational processes. In addition, individual journeys and relational processes influenced each other, enhancing the experience. These components operated within an interacting social context that was enriched by the museum programme. The theoretical model links with psychological concepts of attachment theory and self-esteem to explain how cultural group programmes could provide opportunities for change in older people. Limitations of the research, implications for clinical practice and recommendations for future research are discussed.

Despite the vast research on the productive aspect of rewards, little is known on how the changes in employees’ behaviour, made to enhance their chances of achieving a reward, influence employee well-being. Previous work has failed to address the process of reward-seeking behaviour from an employee’s point of view as the focus was on the motivational aspect of rewards. This thesis uses the case of Malta’s financial institutions to examine the relationship between reward-seeking behaviour from bonuses and promotions and employee well-being by drawing on expectancy theory and self-determination theory. To achieve its aims, this study adopts a qualitative approach, wherein 42 semi-structured interviews with employees and four interviews with human resources managers are conducted at financial institutions in Malta – two of which are small and medium-sized enterprises and one is a large-sized institution. Memos and diary notes are also used to complement the data collected from the semi-structured interviews. Overall, the results strongly support the idea that while almost everyone values rewards, employees differ in their willingness to engage in reward-seeking behaviour and its influence on well-being. This thesis contributes to knowledge through the development of a theoretical model – the four quadrant reward-seeking behaviour – well-being model. This typology based model classifies employees into four main categories, namely, highly motivated, apathetic, work-life balanced and work-life imbalanced. This two by two matrix also led to another model that depicts reward-seeking behaviour and well-being as a non-sequential process. The findings have practical implications for human resources practitioners as they now have the capacity to visualise the actual employee mix according to the categories of the model and act on any significant gaps.

Is personality important for understanding the variation we see in animal welfare? In this thesis, I address that question by studying the association between personality and health, welfare, and happiness in three species of nonhuman primate: rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta), brown capuchins (Sapajus apella), and chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). As part of this research I test a newly designed animal welfare questionnaire. In Chapter 1 I review how animal welfare questionnaires can be designed and implemented as an addition tool for assessing animal welfare. In Chapter 2 I present a study of rhesus macaque personality, dominance, behaviour, and health. In Chapter 3 I test the reliability and validity of my animal welfare questionnaire. In Chapter 4 I extended my work on welfare questionnaires to test if they are valid for assessment of chimpanzee welfare and associated with personality. I specifically test if welfare ratings are based on observed behaviour. I conclude my quantitative work in Chapter 5 with a study testing the association between personality and health, welfare, and subjective well-being in rhesus macaques. Finally, Chapter 6 includes my conclusions and future directions for this line of research. Across all four quantitative studies some common trends were found. First, personality is associated with overall welfare and health. Second, welfare questionnaires are reliable and valid way to assess welfare in the studied species. And third, welfare and subjective well-being are measuring the same construct in these species. Overall, I conclude that personality is clearly useful for understanding animal welfare and that questionnaires are a reliable, valid, and valuable method of animal welfare assessment, in additional to traditional methods.

Levels of non-resident parenthood in Scotland are substantial. The 2011 Scottish Census indicated 28 per cent of all families with dependent children to be lone parent households. Whilst non-resident parenthood is not synonymous with non-resident fatherhood, 92 per cent of such households were headed by the mother (ONS, 2014). Child well-being in non-resident father households is an issue of concern amongst policy makers and practitioners and both law and policy appear to operate on the principle that the maintenance of non-resident father-child relationships is generally conducive to child well-being. Whilst there is evidence to suggest the well-being of children in non-resident father households is typically poorer than their contemporaries in two natural parent households (Amato and Keith, 1991; Amato, 2005), and indeed evidence to suggest non-resident father involvement may benefit child well-being (Amato and Gilbreth, 1999; Adamsons and Johnson, 2013), the existing research has a number of limitations. Firstly, studies have typically adopted narrow conceptualisations of child well-being. Secondly, few studies have sought to disaggregate the total effects of non-resident fatherhood to consider both those transmitted directly and indirectly via mediating variables. Finally, increasing numbers of non-marital births coupled with evidence suggesting cohabiting relationships to be at an increased risk of breakdown in children’s early years compared to marriages (Greaves and Goodman, 2010), has culminated in increasing levels of early years non-resident fatherhood, an issue which has received less attention in the literature. Using data from the Growing Up in Scotland study this research explores associations between non-resident fatherhood and child well-being and the potential pathways through which such associations may operate. The research conceptualises child well-being as a multi-dimensional construct comprising four key domains: social, emotional and behavioural development, cognitive development, general health and material resources and uses structural equation modelling to consider the extent to which firstly, living in a non-resident father household, and secondly, non-resident father involvement is associated with child well-being directly, or indirectly, via household income, maternal mental health and parenting behaviours. The results show that, relative to two natural parent households, child well-being across each of the four domains is poorer in non-resident father households headed by a lone mother but not in those where the mother has re-partnered. Only one statistically significant direct association was found in the domain of material resources with the results suggesting much of the negative association to be transmitted indirectly via household income and maternal mental health. For those children who were reported as having some form of contact with their father, the results indicate paternal involvement to be indirectly associated with fewer social, emotional and behavioural difficulties via maternal mental health. Finally, consideration of the circumstances and characteristics associated with the maintenance of contact and levels of paternal involvement revealed maternal relationship status to be an important correlate of both contact and involvement whilst parental relationship history and circumstances surrounding the pregnancy were additionally found to be important correlates of contact. This thesis argues that simple dichotomies of father presence / absence can serve to mask the complex network of relationships underlying associations between non-resident fatherhood and child well-being. It also argues that child well-being in non-resident father households would benefit from policies which seek to alleviate financial hardship and support maternal mental health. It suggests that the maintenance of non-resident father-child relationships is potentially beneficial for child well-being and argues that promotion and support of contact and involvement in children’s early years likely requires a targeted approach. It further argues that the role of the non-resident father should be construed broadly to include consideration of support for the wider household in which the child lives.

Moreover, would the absence of health motivate deterioration in the subjective well-being? This research has attempted to find answers to these questions by verifying in which proportion human values explain the subjective well-being experienced by people in different contexts of value reference. Both musicians and lawyers have been studied. In a preliminary study, composed of two researches, it was attempted to overcome the lack of bibliography in order to make known the current context of these professions in Jo?o Pessoa, Para?ba, through newspaper articles from the Correio da Para?ba and interviews with privileged informers. The technique of content analysis was then used identifying the main dilemmas of the professions as well as their socio-occupational contexts. In the second and main study, the aim was to verify the existing relations among the variables of subjective well-being and the human values for these professionals adopting the socioeconomical panorama of the occupations to support the analysis. 387 professionals took part in this study: 148 musicians (31.8% instrumentalists) and 239 lawyers (36.8% civil), with ages varying from 18 up to 77 years old (M=35.9; SD=12.35), and from 22 up to 79 years (M =38.6; SD=12.31), respectively, answered the Basic Human Values (BHV); Positive and Negative Affect Scale; Vitality Scale; General Health Questionnaire GHQ-12; Satisfaction with Life Scale and the socio-demographic questions. The SPSS Statistical Package for the Social Sciences was used and it could be observed that, for the musicians, the importance of the type of existence/bio-social value stands out just as an indicator of vitality. The type of value Accomplishment/Power, showed itself important for the positive affection and for vitality, while the types Accomplishment/Self-direction and Normative haven t had any influence in the subjective well-being. Only the relation between the Existence/Bio- Social type and vitality was mediated by the sex and marital status variables. As for the lawyers, the type of predictor value of the subjective well-being was the normative [F(1,219) = 11,8, p ≤ 0,001; Rmultiple = 0,23, R2adjusted = 0,05]. On the other hand, the type Existence/Bio social presented a direct relation with vitality but inverse with depression. It was then concluded that the congruency of personal values with those promoted in the social context of reference may be an indicator of subjective well-being, given the existence of a social value context well demarcated / Existem valores que predizem a sa?de? Mais ainda, ser? que sua aus?ncia ocasionaria deterioro ao bem-estar subjetivo? A presente pesquisa buscou encontrar respostas a estas quest?es verificando em que medida os valores humanos explicam o bem-estar subjetivo experimentado pelas pessoas, nos diferentes contextos de refer?ncia valorativos. Para isso, foram estudadas as profiss?es de m?sico e advogado. Em um estudo preliminar, composto de duas pesquisas, buscou-se preencher lacunas quanto ? car?ncia de bibliografia que torne conhecido o contexto atual dessas profiss?es na cidade de Jo?o Pessoa, por meio de reportagens do Jornal Correio da Para?ba e entrevistas com informantes privilegiados. Foi utilizada a an?lise de conte?do identificando os principais dilemas das profiss?es, bem como seus contextos s?cioocupacionais. No segundo estudo (o estudo principal), o objetivo foi verificar as rela??es entre as vari?veis bem-estar subjetivo e valores humanos para os profissionais, adotando o panorama s?cio-econ?mico das profiss?es como suporte para as an?lises. Neste estudo participaram 387 profissionais, sendo 148 m?sicos (31,8% musicista) e 239 advogados (36,8% c?vel), com idades variando de 18 a 77 anos (M = 35,9; DP = 12,35), e de 22 a 79 anos (M = 38,6; DP = 12,31), respectivamente, que responderam ao Question?rio dos Valores B?sicos; ? Escala de Afetos Positivos e Negativos; ? Escala de Vitalidade; ao Question?rio de Sa?de Geral - QSG-12; ? Escala de Satisfa??o com a Vida e a Informa??es s?cio-demogr?ficas. Utilizou-se o Pacote Estat?stico para as Ci?ncias Sociais (SPSS Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) e se observou que, quanto aos m?sicos, destaca-se a import?ncia do tipo de valor Exist?ncia/Bio-social apenas com o indicador vitalidade. O tipo de valor Realiza??o/Poder mostrou-se importante para os afetos positivos e para a vitalidade, enquanto que os tipos de valores Realiza??o/Autodire??o e Normativos n?o tiveram influ?ncia no bem-estar subjetivo. Apenas a rela??o entre o tipo Exist?ncia/Bio social e vitalidade foi mediada pela vari?vel sexo e estado civil. Para os advogados, o tipo de valor preditor do bem-estar subjetivo foi o Normativo [F(1,219) = 11,8, p ≤ 0,001; Rm?ltiplo = 0, 23, R2 ajustado = 0,05]. O tipo de valor Realiza??o/Autodire??o n?o apresentou influ?ncia alguma no bem-estar subjetivo. O tipo Exist?ncia/Bio-social apresentou uma rela??o direta com vitalidade e inversa com depress?o. Para Realiza??o/Poder observou-se uma rela??o direta com afetos positivos e inversa com depress?o. Este estudo concluiu que a congru?ncia dos valores pessoais com aqueles que foram promovidos, no contexto social de refer?ncia, pode ser um indicador de bem-estar subjetivo, desde que se tenha um contexto social valorativo bem demarcado

Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst / Diante da crise ambiental global, os ecossistemas tornam-se cada vez mais vulnerÃveis, e consequentemente os benefÃcios por eles ofertados, conhecidos como serviÃos ecossistÃmicos. Os ServiÃos EcossistÃmicos influenciam de maneira direta e indireta a promoÃÃo de bem-estar humano. Seus benefÃcios atravessam fronteiras, mas a sua produÃÃo pode acontecer de maneira local, cujo processo ainda à pouco entendido pelos cientistas. Durante anos, tÃm sido negligenciados, principalmente pelos paÃses com pouco conhecimento e interesse sobre sua prÃpria biodiversidade. PorÃm, o desafio de se conviver em um planeta finito e com uma populaÃÃo mundial cada vez maior anuncia um cenÃrio em que o impacto crescente sobre o uso dos recursos naturais impulsionarà a necessidade de se investir em uma gestÃo eficiente sobre sua alocaÃÃo. O presente trabalho parte da hipÃtese de a mensuraÃÃo do bem-estar, pela perspectiva do desenvolvimento sustentÃvel, deve ser composta por indicadores que contemplem a integraÃÃo entre o bem-estar humano e os serviÃos ecossistÃmicos. O objetivo geral da pesquisa foi propor um conjunto de indicadores que retrate, pela perspectiva do desenvolvimento sustentÃvel, a importÃncia da inserÃÃo dos serviÃos ecossistÃmicos de provisÃo na mensuraÃÃo do bem-estar em Ãreas degradadas. Essa relaÃÃo traz em si o Ãbvio: a importÃncia dos serviÃos ecossistÃmicos para o bem-estar humano. Baseando-se em uma releitura de Prescott-Allen (2001) e adaptando para a realidade local, foi desenvolvido um conjunto de Ãndices e indicadores, em diferentes dimensÃes, que resultaram em dois Ãndices: Ãndice de Bem-Estar Humano (IBEH) e Ãndice de Bem-Estar EcossistÃmico (IBEE). O IBEH à composto por cinco dimensÃes (SaÃde e PopulaÃÃo, Riqueza das FamÃlias, Conhecimento e Cultura, Comunidade e Equidade) e quinze indicadores, enquanto o IBEE à constituÃdo por cinco dimensÃes (Terra, Ãgua, Ar, Biodiversidade e Uso dos Recursos) e sete indicadores gerando assim um framework que reproduz o seu estado e suas inter-relaÃÃes. A validaÃÃo do IBEH e do IBEE foi realizada na comunidade do SÃtio do Brum localizado no bioma Caatinga no estado do CearÃ, Brasil. Desconhecido para muitos, a Caatinga està em acelerado processo de degradaÃÃo intensificado pela mà gestÃo dos recursos ambientais bem como pelas condiÃÃes climÃticas da regiÃo. Como principais resultados o uso de Ãndices e indicadores em serviÃos ecossistÃmicos conseguiu capturar a relaÃÃo entre os serviÃos ecossistÃmicos e o bem-estar humano, alÃm de validar a capacidade dos indicadores escolhidos descreverem os sistemas sÃcio-ecossistÃmicos e a sua interaÃÃo. A escolha da aplicaÃÃo dos Ãndices em um bioma degradado e por diversas vezes pouco valorizado, como a Caatinga, revelou nÃo somente a importÃncia do impacto das aÃÃes antrÃpicas neste tipo de bioma, mas o vÃu que os cobre. Identificou-se uma comunidade que compreende sua realidade, almeja mudanÃas, possui visÃo de futuro coletiva, mas nÃo possui capacidade de provocar mudanÃas. Embora nÃo seja fÃcil agir em funÃÃo das preocupaÃÃes intergeracionais, mudanÃas somente ocorrerÃo quando as avaliaÃÃes de serviÃos ecossistÃmicos englobarem tambÃm as pessoas, algo que por sua vez envolve motivaÃÃes e limites cognitivos na aquisiÃÃo e processamento de informaÃÃes, essencial para garantir o bem-estar das geraÃÃes presentes e futuras, abordagem sugerida pelo framework em questÃo apresentado. / Given the global environmental crisis, ecosystems become increasingly vulnerable and therefore the benefits offered by them, known as ecosystem service. The ecosystem services influence directly and indirectly the promotion of human well-being. Its benefits cross borders, but its production can happen in a local way, which process is still poorly understood by scientists. For years, the ecosystem services have been neglected, especially by countries with little knowledge and interest about their own biodiversity. However, the challenge to live in a finite planet with a growing world population announce a scenario where increasing impact on the use of natural resources will drive the need to invest in efficient management of its allocation . This study starts from the hypothesis that the measurement of well-being by the sustainable developmentâs approach would include indicators that address the integration of human well-being and ecosystem services. The main goal of this research is present indices that portray, in a sustainable developmentâs approach, the importance of integrating provisioning ecosystem services in measuring of well-being in degraded areas. This interaction brings with it the obvious: the relevance of ecosystem services for human well-being. Taking into account the literature review, we adapted the Prescott-Allen model to make it appropriate for our study area. A set of indices and indicators were developed in different dimensions resulting in two indices: the Human Well-Being Index (HWBI) and the Ecosystem Well-Being Index (EWBI).The HWBI consists of five dimensions: Health and Population, Household Wealth, Knowledge and Culture, Community and Equity, and fifteen indicators. The EWBI also consists of five dimensions: Land, Water, Air, Biodiversity and Resource Use; and seven indicators. The interaction between these two indices generated a framework that shows the dependence between each of the variables analyzed. The proposed set of indicators was tested in Sitio do Brum community, located in the Caatinga biome in the state of CearÃ, Brazil. Unknown to many, the Caatinga is in a rapid degradation process due to mismanagement of environmental resources and the climatic conditions of the region. The main results of the use of indices and indicators for ecosystem services managed to capture the relationship between ecosystem services and human well-being, and to validate the ability of the chosen indicators to describe the socio-ecosystems and their interaction. The choice of application of the parameters in a degraded and often undervalued biome, such as the Caatinga, revealed not only the importance of the impact of human actions in this type of biome, but the veil that covers them. A community was identified, which understands its reality, craves for changes, has its own collective vision of the future, but has no ability to bring about change. Although it is not easy to act on the basis of intergenerational concerns, changes only occur when the assessments of ecosystem services also encompass people, which in turn involves motivations and cognitive limitations in acquiring and processing information, essential to ensure the well-being of current and next generations, approach suggested by the framework in question.

A Dor Crônica por Afecções Musculoesqueléticas (DCAME) é uma doença que, além de atingir o sistema osteomuscular, principalmente de mulheres da faixa etária entre 45 a 64 anos, frequentemente acarreta desordens psicológicas, sociais e espirituais e é influenciada por elas, podendo ainda desenvolver grande carga de desgosto para os doentes quando não diagnosticada e tratada adequadamente. Assim, dentre os aspectos citados, destaca-se o Bem-Estar Espiritual (BEE) como uma expressão da espiritualidade prática que, embora recentemente abordada em estudos científicos foi, desde o início da humanidade, apontada como uma dimensão importante no processo saúde-doença, por possibilitar, além de outros benefícios, o restabelecimento mais rápido da saúde. Foi neste contexto que se tornou necessário compreender e refletir sobre os significados do BEE que permearam a vivência de mulheres portadoras de DCAME e as formas pelas quais o BEE foi manifestado por esta população, para facilitar o esclarecimento tanto das causas da dor atribuídas por elas quanto das formas de manejo e dos impactos ocasionados pela dor. Desta forma, este estudo, que foi realizado na Clínica de Dor do Hospital das Clínicas de Ribeirão Preto (CDHCRP) e conduzido de acordo com as normatizações da Comissão Nacional de Ética em Pesquisa (CONEP), utilizou-se de abordagem qualitativa. Neste trabalho, após seleção por amostragem por conveniência, 11 sujeitos foram selecionados e entrevistados individualmente numa sala reservada a este fim, sendo um guia à entrevista um roteiro norteador de entrevista semiestruturada com questões fechadas para identificação e delineamento sociodemográfico e questões abertas para a apreensão dos significados de BEE bem como dos conhecimentos acerca das causas, dos impactos e das formas de alívio da dor. Os dados coletados foram gravados em um aparelho de MP3 e transcritos na íntegra para o início da análise dos dados que foi feita por meio da Análise Temática (AT), uma das técnicas da Análise de Conteúdo (AC) e possibilitaram o surgimento de quatro temas: Significados e Manifestações do BEE; Modelos explicativos para a dor; Formas de manejo da doença e Impactos da dor crônica. A partir destes temas, algumas interpretações acerca do BEE puderam ser destacadas. Relatado como um aspecto humano de difícil definição, o BEE pôde ser manifestado de diferentes maneiras. As formas apresentadas foram o bom relacionamento consigo mesmo, com o outro e com Deus, o desenvolvimento de esperança, da confiança, da fé em si e no tratamento que realizaram, o conforto físico, a ocupação, o lazer, o aprendizado e a empatia no contato com o outro. Neste trabalho, algumas causas manifestadas foram as de origem psicossocial, as sobrecargas físicas e comportamentos que perpetuam o problema, além da dor como resposta a um pecado. Destacadas algumas causas, o trabalho apontou para a utilização das preces como coadjuvante do tratamento médico convencional por todas as entrevistadas e da técnica Reiki. Tendo em vista o exposto, a DCAME mesmo impactando de forma negativa na vida das entrevistadas, desenvolvendo inclusive o medo da perda da autonomia e independência, possibilitou a modificação de suas visões de mundo, sendo fonte de descoberta de valores humanos tais como a coragem, a resiliência, a valorização da vida bem como da empatia pelo sofrimento alheio. Em suma, este estudo destacou a importância da DCAME enquanto doença multidimensional que leva o indivíduo a experimentar necessidades espirituais importantes, sendo o incentivo a busca da integralidade no contexto hospitalar para o correto manejo do problema mais do que uma emergência para a saúde pública. / Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain (CMP) is a disease that, in addition to achieving the musculoskeletal system, especially the women aged 45 to 64 years, often entails psychological, social and spiritual disorders and is influenced by them and may develop big load of grief for patients when not diagnosed and treated properly. Thus, among the aspects mentioned, Spiritual Well-Being (SWB) as an expression of practical spirituality which, although recently has been addressed in scientific studies, since the beginning of mankind, considered as an important dimension in the health-disease process, by allowing, among other benefits, the most rapid restoration of health. In this context, it has become necessary to understand and reflect on the meanings of SWB that permeated the experience of women with CMP and the ways in which the SWB was expressed by this population, both to facilitate the clarification of the causes of pain attributed by them as forms of management and the impacts caused by pain. Thus, this study, which was conducted at the Pain Clinic of the University Hospital of Ribeirão Preto (PCUHRP) and conducted according to the regulations of the National Committee of Ethics in Research (NCER), used a qualitative approach. In this work, after being selected by convenience sampling, 11 subjects were selected and individually interviewed in a room reserved for this purpose, with a guide to interview a guiding semi- structured interview with closed questions and to identify sociodemographic and open design issues for the seizure of SWB meanings and knowledge about the causes, impacts and forms of pain relief. Data were recorded on an MP3 player and transcribed to the top of the data analysis that was done by means of the Thematic Analysis (TA), one of the techniques of Content Analysis (CA) and made possible the emergence of four themes: Meanings and Manifestations of SWB; Explanatory models for pain; Forms of disease management and Impacts of chronic pain. From these themes, some interpretations of the SWB could be highlighted. Reported as a human aspect difficult to define, SWB could be manifested in different ways. The forms submitted were good relationship with oneself, with others and with God, the development of hope, trust, and faith in themselves and who performed the treatment, physical comfort, occupation, leisure, learning and empathy contact with each other. In this work, some causes were expressed psychosocial origin, physical burdens and behaviors that perpetuate the problem, in addition to pain in response to a sin. Highlighted some causes, the paper points out the use of prayer as an adjunct to conventional medical treatment for all interviewees and Reiki technique. In view of the above, the same CMP negatively impacting on the lives of the interviewees, including developing the fear of loss of autonomy and independence, enabled the modification of their worldviews, a source of discovery of human values such as courage, resilience, valuing life and empathy for others\' suffering. In summary, this study highlighted the importance of CMP as multidimensional disease that causes the individual to experience significant spiritual needs, and encouraging the pursuit of comprehensive health care in the hospital setting to the correct handling of the problem more than a public health emergency.

O objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer as percepções sobre justiça social dos adolescentes, de acordo com a Psicologia Crítica e o paradigma da justiça social de Isaac Prilleltensky. Buscou-se verificar também a relação percebida entre as condições de justiça social (pessoal, relacional e coletiva) e o bem-estar, analisar o protagonismo dos adolescentes frente às questões de justiça social e, também, conhecer como os adolescentes relacionam a atual conjuntura sociopolítica e cultural brasileira com os princípios de justiça social. Foram realizados 7 grupos focais, com 46 participantes no total, com idades entre 14 e 17 anos, estudantes do ensino médio de escolas públicas e particulares da rede de ensino da cidade de Lajeado/RS. O roteiro de debate dos grupos focais considerou como questão-chave a percepção dos adolescentes sobre o conceito de justiça social. Os dados coletados foram analisados qualitativamente. Foram identificados indicadores relacionados às categorias: poder, capacidade, oportunidade, classe social, dinheiro, raça, cultura, educação e aparência. Observaram-se a naturalização com relação à cultura sobre questões de preconceito racial e a necessidade de educação em valores humanos através da implantação de políticas governamentais. / The purpose of this study was to understand the adolescents‟ perceptions about social justice based on Critical Psychology and social justice paradigm. In addition, this study sought to investigate the relationship between the perceived conditions of social justice (personal, relational and collective) and well-being. The work also examined the role of adolescents facing issues of social justice and (also to know) how teens relate the current sociopolitical and cultural Brazilian context with the principles of social justice. Seven focus groups were conducted with 46 total participants of both sexes, aged between 14 and 17 years. The adolescents are high school students from public and private schools of teaching network of Lajeado/RS. The script of debate in the focus groups considered as a key issue the adolescents‟ perception about the concept of social justice. The collected data were analyzed qualitatively by the method of analysis of the content. Indicators have been identified related to the categories: power, ability, opportunity, social class, money, race, culture, education, and appearance. It is observed the naturalization of culture on issues of racial prejudice and the need for education in human values through the implementation of government policies.

Studies on it have correlated with well-being, behavioral change and organizational performance. Coaching is a systematic process of self-reflection, learning and personal growth and is associated with the promotion of organizational results. However, few empirical studies have been conducted to confirm the influence of coaching on the well-being of workers. Well-being is a multidetermined construct that aims to highlight the healthy aspects of human beings and to demonstrate them in order to facilitate the living of a happy and productive life. Specifically, this study was divided into three parts, first a theoretical article of bibliographic review that discusses the historical evolution of coaching, concepts, applicability and its field of theoretical study. The second part is presented in the form of a systematic review that discusses the relationship between the coaching variable and well-being in the work context. And the third part analyzes the intervention in coaching in the organizational context. In the first part, coaching is presented as a tool with a historical evolution, such as concepts most used in the literature, applicability in the context of organizations and evolution as a theoretical field of knowledge. In the second part, it was analyzed in a systematic review correlating the coaching and wellbeing and the studies found in the literature about this correlation and empirical intervention, from the descriptors in Portuguese and English (Coaching and Well-being). A total of 45 articles were included, of which only eight were empirical research, with coaching strategies carried out in the context of the work. After describing the result found, the eight articles were analyzed, relating the constructs coaching and well being at work (well being at work). We analyzed the relationship between coaching and well-being at work. That is, the intervention in coaching as antecedent of well-being for the worker and the presentation of coaching as mediator in the work. Empirical studies have highlighted intervention in coaching as a positive organizational strategy to facilitate worker well-being. Coaching can play the role of an antecedent and mediator of well-being with the possibility of intervention in the work dynamics and resource of organizations. In the third part, an empirical article analyzes the intervention in coaching in the context of work as a predictor of well-being. A longitudinal study was carried out to test the coaching tool at time 1 and at time 2 after its intervention in the training format. The sample consisted of 75 workers, 60 women and 15 men, with a mean age of 32 years and with a high school education in 48% of the sample, from three Goiás organizations. It was observed in the results that the experiences of well-being in the work did not increase after the intervention in coaching, in the training format, for the group of workers investigated. / O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar o impacto do programa de treinamento em coaching como ferramenta que possibilita aumentar as vivências positivas de bem-estar laboral. Os estudos sobre ele tem o correlacionado com bem-estar, mudança de comportamento e desempenho organizacional. Coaching é um processo sistemático de autorreflexão, aprendizagem e crescimento pessoal e está associado à promoção de resultados organizacionais. Entretanto poucos estudos empíricos tem sido realizados para confirmar a influência do coaching no bem-estar dos trabalhadores. O bem-estar é um construto multideterminado que objetiva destacar os aspectos saudáveis dos seres humanos e evidenciálos de modo a facilitar a vivência de uma vida feliz e produtiva. Especificamente, este estudo foi dividido em três partes, primeiramente um artigo teórico de revisão bibliográfica que discorre sobre a evolução histórica do coaching, conceitos, aplicabilidade e seu campo de estudo teórico. A segunda parte apresenta-se no formato de uma revisão sistemática que discorre sobre a relação existente entre a variável coaching e o bem-estar no contexto do trabalho. E a na terceira parte analisa a intervenção em coaching no contexto organizacional. Na primeira parte o coaching é apresentado como uma ferramenta com uma evolução histórica, como conceitos mais utilizados na literatura, a aplicabilidade no contexto das organizações e a evolução como um campo teórico de conhecimento. Na segunda parte foi analisada em uma revisão sistemática correlacionando o coaching e o bem-estar e os estudos encontrados na litetarura sobre essa correlação e intervenção empírica, a partir dos descritores em português e inglês (Coaching e Well-being). Foram incluídos 45 artigos, dos quais apenas oito deles eram pesquisas empíricas, com estratégias de coaching realizadas no contexto do trabalho. Após a descrição do resultado encontrado, os oito artigos foram analisados, relacionando os construtos coaching e bem-estar no trabalho (well being at work). Foi realizada a análise da relação estabelecida entre coaching e bem-estar no trabalho. Ou seja, a intervenção em coaching como antecedente de bem-estar para o trabalhador e a apresentação do coaching como mediador no trabalho. Os estudos empíricos evidenciaram a intervenção em coaching como uma estratégia organizacional positiva para facilitar o bemestar em trabalhadores. O coaching pode assumir o papel de um antecedente e mediador do bem-estar com possibilidade de intervenção na dinâmica do trabalho e de recurso das organizações. Na terceira parte um artigo empírico analisa a intervenção em coaching no contexto do trabalho como uma variável preditora de bem-estar. Um estudo longitudinal realizado para testar a ferramenta coaching, no tempo 1 e no tempo 2 após a sua intervenção no formato de treinamento. A amostra foi composta por 75 trabalhadores, sendo 60 mulheres e 15 homens, com idáde média de 32 anos e com ensino médio completo em 48% da amostra, de três organizações goianas. Observou-se nos resultados que as vivências de bem-estar no trabalho não aumentou após a intervenção em coaching, no formato de treinamento, para o grupo de trabalhadores investigados.
