Abstract(s)
Mundialmente, as relações laborais transformam-se e emerge uma nova categoria de trabalhadores
licenciados: Os “inempregáveis” ou sem-emprego. Estes reúnem experiência profissional, mas nunca
tiveram uma relação jurídica de emprego (contrato de trabalho sem termo). Enquanto os estudos sobre
desemprego são abundantes, estudos sobre o “inemprego” são escassos. Pretendemos neste estudo
explorar os impactos psicossociais do não-emprego involuntário em licenciados portugueses e as
estratégias de coping utilizadas para lidar com esses impactos. Optou-se pelo método de estudo de caso
múltiplo e pela entrevista para traçar a história de vida de seis licenciados “inempregáveis”,
involuntariamente em situação precária ou sem-actividade laboral. Recorreu-se ao NVivo para análise
dos dados. Os resultados evidenciam mais impactos (negativos e positivos) nas situações laborais
precárias do que na não-actividade laboral e, mais impactos positivos do que a literatura indiciava. A
“focalização activa” é a estratégia de coping mais utilizada pelos sujeitos. Finalizamos propondo pistas
para futuras investigações e de combate ao não-emprego.
World-wide, labour relations change and a new category of higher educated workers emerges: The nonemployable, that although congregate years of professional experience, never had employment in the sense of a juridical relationship (employment contract without term). While studies about nonemployment are scarce, abond studies on job-loss. Thus, in this study we intend: To explore the psychosocial impacts of involuntary nonemployment in Portuguese higher educated workers the coping strategies used to deal with those impacts. We selected the multiple case study and the interview to trace the life history. The six cases are nonemployable, involuntarily in a precarious work situation or without work activity. We use the software Nvivo to analyse data. The results show more impacts (negative and positive) in the condition of precarious work than in nonwork activity and we found more positive impacts than those indicate by the literature. The “active focalization” is the most used coping strategy. We finalize proposing clues for future investigation and initiatives to stop nonemployment.
