Impacto da sobrequalificação no flow: O papel da orientação anti-trabalho
Advisor(s)
Abstract(s)
O estado de flow, definido como um estado de imersão e envolvimento total nas tarefas, tem sido associado a níveis elevados de bem-estar no trabalho. Contudo, fatores como a percepção de sobrequalificação (SQP) podem comprometer essa experiência positiva. Esta dissertação procurou investigar se a SQP afeta negativamente o estado de flow e se essa relação é mediada pela orientação anti-work (AWO), que reflete atitudes negativas em relação ao trabalho.
O estudo contou com a participação de 339 trabalhadores de diferentes gerações, seguindo um delineamento quantitativo com recurso a escalas de auto-relato. Os dados foram analisados com os programas SPSS e Jamovi, utilizando regressão linear simples e análise de mediação.
Os resultados revelaram uma relação negativa significativa entre a sobrequalificação percebida e o estado de flow, parcialmente mediada pela orientação anti-work. Tais resultados indicam que trabalhadores que se percecionam como sobrequalificados tendem a experienciar menor prazer e motivação nas suas atividades, sobretudo quando manifestam posturas marcadas pelo desinteresse e distanciamento profissional.
Tais conclusões permitem aprofundar a compreensão sobre a influência da sobrequalificação percebida e da orientação anti-work na vivência do flow, sendo esta uma relação ainda pouco explorada. Adicionalmente, destaca-se a importância de promover experiências funcionais de flow, concebendo políticas de gestão mais eficazes e ajustadas à realidade dos contextos laborais.
The state of flow, defined as a state of immersion and total involvement in tasks, has been associated with high levels of well-being at work. However, factors such as perceived overqualification (POQ) can compromise this positive experience. This dissertation aimed to investigate whether perceived overqualification negatively affects the state of flow and whether this relationship is mediated by the anti-work orientation (AWO), which reflects negative attitudes towards work. The study involved 339 workers from different generations, following a quantitative design using self-report scales. The data was analysed with SPSS and Jamovi software, using simple linear regression and mediation analysis. The results revealed a significant negative relationship between perceived overqualification and flow state, partially mediated by anti-work orientation. These results indicate that workers who perceive themselves as overqualified tend to experience less pleasure and motivation in their activities, especially when they manifest attitudes marked by disinterest and professional detachment. These conclusions allows a deeper understanding of the influence of perceived overqualification and anti-work orientation on the experience of flow, a relationship that has yet to be explored. In addition, the importance of promoting functional flow experiences is emphasised, by designing management policies that are more effective and adjusted to the reality of the contexts in which they work.
