Introdução: Ao longo dos anos tem sido possível assistir a uma mudança de paradigma
relativo ao bem-estar e ao trabalho, tendo estas duas dimensões vindo a ganhar maior
destaque no dia-a-dia de cada um de nós. O presente estudo tem como objetivo explorar
se a idade, o sexo, a relação amorosa, a ansiedade, o stress e o humor deprimido/
depressão, o sono e o equilíbrio vida-trabalho predizem emoções positivas e significado
em adultos profissionalmente ativos. Método: Um total de 1000 trabalhadores
(mulheres=68,4%), com idades compreendidas entre os 19 e 75 anos (M=40,76;
DP=10,58) procederam ao preenchimento de um questionário sociodemográfico,
profissional e de saúde, da escala PERMA-Profiler, de 3 itens exemplificativos das
dimensões de ansiedade, humor deprimido/ depressão e stress e, por fim, a escala WorkLife Balance (WLB). Resultados: O modelo refinado demonstrou um ajustamento
sofrível (𝜒2/df=6,752; SRMR=0,153; CFI=0,948; TLI=0,934; NFI=0,939;
RMSEA=0,076). As emoções positivas são experimentadas mais frequentemente por
mulheres (β=-0,095; p=0,001), por participantes com níveis menores de humor
deprimido/depressão (β=-0,316; p<0,001), pelos que revelam uma melhor qualidade de
sono (β=0,040; p=0,018) e um maior equilíbrio vida trabalho (β=0,426; p<0,001).
Quanto ao significado no trabalho, o mesmo é menos percebido por mulheres (β=-0,102;
p=0,001) e por participantes com maiores níveis de humor deprimido/ depressão (β=-
0,288; p<0,001). No entanto, a sua perceção é maior em participantes com níveis mais
elevados de stress (β=0,098; p<0,001) e quanto maior for o equilíbrio vida-trabalho
(β=0,370; p<0,001). Conclusão: Sabendo que algumas variáveis (como o stress, sono e
equilíbrio vida-trabalho) podem estar associadas a um maior bem-estar e produtividade,
seria importante desenvolver estudos no contexto organizacional que informassem sobre
a cultura empresarial com vista a melhorar e aumentar o bem-estar dos seus trabalhadores.
Background: Over the years, we have been witnessing a shift in the paradigm related to well-being and work, with these two dimensions capturing greater emphasis in the daily lives of each one of us. The present study aims to explore if age, sex, a romantic relationship, anxiety, stress and depressed mood/ depression, sleep and work-life balance predicts positive emotions and meaning in working adults. Method: Overall, 1000 workers (women=68,4%), aged 19-75 years old (M=40,76; SD=10,58), filled in a sociodemographic, professional and health questionnaire, the PERMA-Profiler scale, 3 representative items of the anxiety, stress, and depression dimensions and, at last, the Work-Life Balance scale (WLB). Findings: The refined model supported tolerable model fit (𝜒2/df=6,752; SRMR=0,153; CFI=0,948; TLI=0,934; NFI=0,939; RMSEA=0,076). Positive emtions are experienced with a higher frequency by women (β=-0,095; p=0,001), by participants showing lower levels of depressed mood/ depression (β=-0,316; p<0,001), participants with a better sleep quality (β=0,040; p=0,018) and a higher worklife balance (β=0,426; p<0,001). When it comes to meaning at work, it is less perceived by women (β=-0,102; p=0,001) and by participants with higher levels of depressed mood/ depression (β=-0,288; p<0,001). However, its perception is greater in participants showing higher levels of stress (β=0,098; p<0,001) and a higher work-life balance (β=0,370; p<0,001). Conclusion: Knowing that some variables (such as stress, sleep and work-life balance) may be related with a greater well-being and productivity, it would be important to develop studies within the organizational field that would inform about the corporate culture to promoter a greater and a higher well-being of its workers.
