Abstract(s)
O emprego ocupa um grande espaço na vida das pessoas, fazendo com que se
procure, cada vez mais, que este seja uma resposta ao propósito de vida ao invés de apenas
uma atividade remunerada. Ainda assim, nem todos os empregos correspondem ao
propósito de vida idealizado, potenciando a exposição do trabalhador a maiores Riscos
Psicossociais (RPS). Neste sentido, com foco na Orientação para o Trabalho e nos RPS,
este estudo teve dois objetivos principais: 1) Perceber se a perceção de chamamento se
correlaciona com os RPS e suas consequências, nomeadamente na Saúde e Bem-estar e
2) Verificar qual o setor de atividade mais exposto aos RPS.
Para tal foi obtida uma amostra de 303 trabalhadores, dos quais 199 mulheres e
104 homens, com média de idades de 39.8 anos (DP = 11.3), os quais responderam ao
Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire III (COPSOQ-III), ao Questionário da
Orientação para o Trabalho e ainda a um questionário sociodemográfico.
Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a dimensão de Chamamento (calling) se
associou a menos riscos psicossociais (e.g., problemas de sono, Burnout). Os resultados
obtidos evidenciaram ainda que, apesar de existirem poucas diferenças entre áreas
profissionais na grande maioria das dimensões dos Riscos psicossociais, o grupo Social
destaca-se por ter maiores riscos na dimensão Exigências emocionais, e o grupo
Empreendedores maiores riscos na dimensão Ritmo de trabalho.
Assim, este estudo é uma contribuição para a investigação na área dos riscos
psicossociais em todas as vertentes profissionais, realçando também a importância das
empresas terem trabalhadores que tenham um chamamento para a área de trabalho, devido
a tal estar correlacionado com melhores indicadores de performance e bem-estar.
ABSTRACT: Employment occupies a significant place in people's lives, leading to an increasing search for it to be a response to life's purpose rather than just a remunerated activity. Nonetheless, not all jobs correspond to the idealized life purpose, which increases the exposure of workers to greater Psychosocial Risks. In this sense, with a focus on Work Orientation and Psychosocial Risks, this study had two main objectives: 1) To understand if the perception of calling correlates with PSR and their consequences, namely Health and Well-being, and 2) To determine which sector of activity is more exposed to Psychosocial Risks. To this end, a sample of 303 workers was obtained, of which 199 were women and 104 were men, with an average age of 39.8 years (SD = 11.3), who responded to the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire III (COPSOQ-III), the Work Orientation Questionnaire, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The results obtained demonstrated that the calling dimension was associated with fewer psychosocial risks (e.g., sleep problems, Burnout). The results also showed that, despite few differences between professional areas in the majority of psychosocial risk dimensions, the Social group stands out for having higher risks in the Emotional Demands dimension, and the Entrepreneur group has higher risks in the Work Pace dimension. Therefore, this study is a contribution to research in the field of psychosocial risks in all professional aspects, highlighting the importance of companies having workers who are called to their work area, as this is correlated with better performance and well-being indicators.
