Abstract(s)
Numa época em que o Bem-Estar no Trabalho é cada vez mais valorizado, esta
investigação tem como objectivo estudar a influência da Latitude de Tomada de Decisão
Micro (Controlo) e da Latitude de Tomada de Decisão Macro (Participação nas tomadas de
decisão organizacionais) no Bem-Estar Laboral.
Foi assim criado um modelo de moderação para estudar o impacto que estas duas
variáveis têm no Bem-Estar dos trabalhadores. A hipótese deste estudo é: Existe um efeito de
moderação entre a Latitude de Tomada de Decisão Micro e a Latitude de Tomada de Decisão
Macro no Bem-Estar no Trabalho.
Esta investigação contou com 233 participantes, com diferentes profissões e que se
encontravam inseridos em contexto organizacional.
A escala da Latitude de Tomada de Decisão Micro tem três dimensões:
“Desenvolvimento de Competências”, “Diversidade no Trabalho” e “Controlo”; A escala da
Latitude de Tomada de Decisão Macro tem duas dimensões: “Relação com a Chefia” e
“Estrutura e Processos da Organização”; E a escala do Bem-Estar no Trabalho tem duas
dimensões: “Vigor/Dedicação” e “Absorção”.
Os resultados obtidos confirmam a hipótese colocada. Assim podemos afirmar que a
Latitude de Tomada de Decisão Micro e a Latitude de Tomada de Decisão Macro têm um
efeito positivo conjunto no Bem-Estar Laboral. Foi ainda possível observar que as variáveis
em estudo explicam uma maior percentagem da dimensão “Vigor/Dedicação” do Bem-Estar
Laboral do que da dimensão “Absorção”
ABSTRACT: At a time when the Welfare at Work is increasingly valued, this research aims to study the influence of Latitude of Micro Decision-Making (Control) and Latitude of Macro Decision-Making (participation in organizational decision-making) on the Wellbeing at Work. A model of moderation was created to study the impact that these two variables have on the wellbeing of employees. The hypothesis is: There is a moderating effect between the Latitude of Micro Decision-Making and the Latitude of Macro Decision-Making on Wellbeing at Work. This research included 233 participants that had different professions and who were inserted in organizational context. The scale of Latitude of Micro Decision-Making has three dimensions: "Skills Development", "Diversity at Work" and "Control"; The scale of Latitude of Macro Decision- Making has two dimensions: "Relationship with the boss" and "Organizational Structure and Procedures"; And the scale Wellbeing at Work has two dimensions: "Vigor / Dedication" and "Absorption". The results of the study confirm the hypothesis. Therefore we can state that Latitude of Micro Decision-Making and Latitude of Macro Decision-Making have a positive effect on the Wellbeing at Work. It was also observed that the variables in study explain a higher percentage of the "Vigor / Dedication" dimension of Labour Wellbeing than the "Absorption" dimension.
