Abstract(s)
A compreensão da influência do ambiente de trabalho no bem-estar físico, emocional e
psicológico é crucial. A literatura apresenta várias pesquisas que exploram essa relação,
destacando as valências de trabalho como um conceito relevante, que abrange as perceções
positivas e negativas das experiências de trabalho dos indivíduos. O objetivo desta
investigação foi entender como as valências de trabalho, tanto positivas quanto negativas,
afetam o bem-estar dos colaboradores e, por sua vez, como essas valências podem influenciar
a satisfação geral com a vida. O presente estudo adotou uma abordagem quantitativa,
utilizando um desenho transversal e amostragem não probabilística. A amostra foi composta
por 384 indivíduos portugueses com idade superior a 18 anos e empregados. Para avaliar as
valências de trabalho, foi utilizada a escala Work Valences Scale (WVS), desenvolvida por
Porfeli et al. (2012) e validada por Paquete (2019). O Burnout foi medido coma utilização da
escala Maslach Burnout Inventory, desenvolvida por Maslach e colegas (1996), já utilizada
num estudo anterior (Chambel et al., 2021). Para avaliar o Engagement, foi utilizada a escala
desenvolvida por Schaufeli et al. (2019). A satisfação geral com a vida foi avaliada por um
conjunto de itens desenvolvidos por Diener et al. (1985), traduzidos e adaptados para a
população portuguesa por Carvalho e Chambel (2016). Os resultados indicaram que as
valências de trabalho têm uma relação significativa com o bem-estar e com a satisfação geral
com a vida. Quando os indivíduos percebem valências de trabalho positivas, tendem a
experimentar maior Engagement no trabalho. Em contrapartida, a perceção de valências de
trabalho negativas está relacionada à manifestação de sintomas de Burnout. Além disso,
observou-se que a perceção de valências de trabalho positivas está associada a uma maior
satisfação geral com a vida, enquanto a perceção de valências de trabalho negativas está
ligada a uma diminuição na satisfação geral com a vida. As implicações destes resultados
serão discutidas.
Understanding the influence of the work environment on physical, emotional, and psychological well-being is crucial. The literature presents several pieces of research that explore this relationship, highlighting work’ valences as a relevant concept that encompasses both positive and negative perceptions of individuals’ work experiences. The purpose of this research was to understand how work valences, both positive and negative, affect employees’ well-being and, in turn, how these valences may influence overall life satisfaction. The present study adopted a quantitative approach, using a cross-sectional design and nonprobability sampling. The sample was composed of 384 Portuguese individuals over the age of 18 and employed. To assess work valences, the Work Valences Scale (WVS), developed by Porfeli et al. (2012) and validated by Paquete (2019), was used. Burnout was measured using the Maslach Burnout Inventory scale, developed by Maslach and colleagues (1996), and already used in a previous study (Chambel et al., 2021). The scale developed by Schaufeli et al. (2019) was used to assess Engagement. The overall life satisfaction was assessed by a set of items developed by Diener et al. (1985), translated and adapted for the Portuguese population by Carvalho and Chambel (2016). The results indicated that work valences have a significant relationship with well-being and with overall life satisfaction. When individuals perceive positive work valences, they tend to experience greater Engagement at work. Conversely, the perception of negative work valences is related to the manifestation of Burnout symptoms. In addition, it was observed that the perception of positive work valences is associated with higher overall life satisfaction. In contrast, the perception of negative work valences was linked to decreased overall life satisfaction. The implications of these findings will be discussed.
