Abstract(s)
A presente investigação tem como objetivo testar a relação existente entre as atividades de diversão no trabalho e o engagement, testando se a mesma é mediada pela satisfação laboral. Neste sentido, foram criadas três hipóteses de investigação, onde (1): Existe uma relação significativa e positiva entre o Fun at Work e o Engagement; (2) Existe uma relação significativa e positiva entre o Fun at Work e a Satisfação Laboral; e (3) A Satisfação Laboral apresenta um efeito mediador na relação entre o Fun at Work e o Engagement. Participaram neste estudo 273 participantes, sendo os mesmos colaboradores de diferentes organizações em Portugal. Após analisar os valores obtidos, foi possível verificar que todas as escalas foram percecionadas pelos participantes como unidimensionais. Os dados obtidos permitiram verificar que os participantes apresentam maior participação em atividades como eventos sociais e festas internas, sendo que as atividades com menor participação são as atividades desportivas ou culturais com colegas e as competições entre os mesmos. Através do tratamento estatístico dos dados, foi possível concluir que existe uma relação significativa e positiva entre as três variáveis. Permitiu, também, verificar que a satisfação laboral tem um papel mediador na relação entre as atividades de diversão no trabalho e o engagement, demonstrando que a presença destas atividades impacta primeiramente na satisfação dos colaboradores.
ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to test the relationship between fun at work activities and engagement and we are testing if this relationship is mediated by job satisfaction. For testing this, we created three hypotheses: (1) There is a significant and a positive relationship between fun at work and engagement; (2) There is a significant and a positive relationship between fun at work and job satisfaction; and (3) Job satisfaction mediate the relationship between fun at work and engagement. This investigation has 273 participants, where they needed to work in Portugal. The data showed that participants preferred activities like social events and inside parties, and the activities with less participation were sport’s activities and competition between peers. After analyzing the data, we were able to understand that all the three scales have been understood as unidimensional. Additionally, data shows us the significant and positive relationship between all the three variables as well as it demonstrates that job satisfaction mediate the relationship between fun and work and engagement, which means that, in first place, fun at work activities impact on job satisfaction and then on engagement.
