Nos dias que correm é comum ouvir-se falar de Responsabilidade Social ao nível,
sobretudo, empresarial. O tema pode ser entendido como a forma de estar de uma
empresa na sociedade, levando a que a sua performance corresponda às expectativas da
comunidade envolvente. Essas expectativas passam sobretudo pelos valores éticos e
estratégias organizacionais, que deveram ser transversais aos três pilares da
responsabilidade social: económico, social e ambiental, e que por sua vez, encontram as
suas vertentes distribuídas por duas grandes dimensões: Externa e Interna. Ao nível da
vertente interna da responsabilidade social das empresas, e concretamente, ao nível da
gestão dos recursos humanos, encontra-se o equilíbrio e a conciliação entre a vida
profissional e a vida privada dos colaboradores, que, actualmente, é um dos maiores
desafios que se coloca às mulheres, sobretudo às que são mães, e que seguem ou
pretendem seguir uma carreira profissional. Pretende-se com este trabalho perceber, do
ponto de vista dos colaboradores da TAP Portugal, a forma como os recursos
disponíveis na empresa proporcionam ou não o equilíbrio entre a vida privada e familiar
e, consequentemente, promovem a igualdade de género.
Now a days it is very common to hear of social responsability, especially, at a corporate level. This so called topic may be defined as the way an organization or enterprise places its self within its community in order to comply with the expectations of that same community without losing site of its core goals. Those expectations are considered to be primarily ethic values and organizational strategies, that should be in sync with the three corner stones of social responsibility: economic, social and environmental which sometimes are spread out through two separate dimensions: external and internal. With regards to the internal dimension of social responsability within an enterprise, particularly in what concerns the management of human resources, we find the balance between the professional and private lives of employees, which is currently a challange that working mothers face every day, mainly those that want to succeed in their careers. The purpose of this project is to better understand from the point of view of the employees at TAP Portugal, whether or not the resources available enable them to obtain the above mentioned balance between their professional and family lives thus promoting equality amongst genres.
