Inserida na linha de investigação sobre género e trabalho este estudo realça as circunstâncias vivenciais exigidas às mulheres no âmbito da esfera profissional e privada quando estão sujeitas a horário de trabalho por turnos (fixos e rotativos). Pretende-se através das trabalhadoras do sector da distribuição salientar as implicações subjacentes às tentativas diárias de conciliação trabalho-família. Para tal, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa que conta com uma amostra feminina que privilegia a metodologia qualitativa em prol da valorização dos discursos de trajectos de vida distintos, observações da actividade e diálogos informais. Tornou-se claro a partir deste estudo a necessidade constante das trabalhadoras readaptarem a sua vida pessoal de forma a dar resposta às exigências face à imprevisibilidade do horário por turnos (maioritariamente, rotativos). Realça-se a expressão do sentimento de afastamento familiar e social sendo considerando-se este o custo mais elevado
Concerning to gender and work research this study highlights the experimental circumstances required the women in the professional and private sphere when subjected to hours of shift work (fixed and rotary). It is intended through the distribution sector workers identify the implications of the daily effort of manage work-life balance. To this end, was developed a survey that has an exclusive female sample that privileges qualitative methodology in favor of the appreciation of the discourses of different experiential journeys, observations of the professional activity and informal dialogues. It became clear from this study the constant need to readjust their working life because all of the demands of an unpredictable shift work. Thus, it is frequent the expression of the feeling of family and social withdrawal which is the most evident damage to the female workers.
