Abstract(s)
A Responsabilidade Social Empresarial é uma temática cada vez mais estudada não só pela
comunidade académica, mas também no contexto empresarial. Na atualidade, são cada vez
mais as empresas em que a sua única preocupação não é, meramente, a obtenção de lucro,
mas, sim, um alargamento para as questões da sustentabilidade, ambientais e sociais, numa
ótica de responsabilidade social interna e externa.
O Serviço Social é uma profissão de intervenção, promotora da qualidade de vida e dos
direitos humanos, que pretende almejar a mudança social e contribuir para o bem-estar
social. Neste sentido, se alocarmos a sua intervenção ao contexto empresarial – Serviço
Social nas Empresas – os assistentes sociais podem assumir diversas funções, de entre as
quais, no apoio psicossocial direto aos trabalhadores e às suas famílias, como forma de
reduzir o absentismo e quaisquer outros problemas que comprometam o bom desempenho
laboral dos mesmos.
Contudo, devido ao crescimento exponencial do número de pessoas idosas no nosso país e
aos desafios que tal outorga, não só para com as próprias pessoas, como para as sociedades
e as organizações, torna-se basilar uma maior consciencialização por parte das entidades
empregadoras, nomeadamente, na forma como acompanham os trabalhadores para a
preparação da reforma, enquanto responsabilidade social.
A investigação assenta numa pesquisa qualitativa, com base na realização de entrevistas
semiestruturadas, a um total de catorze assistentes sociais que exercem as suas funções
laborais em empresas, em Portugal.
Desta dissertação emergiu, assim, a necessidade de uma maior intervenção dos assistentes
sociais em contexto empresarial, concretamente, no âmbito da responsabilidade social tanto
interna, como externa, bem como de as empresas terem mais preocupações para com o
planeamento e a preparação da reforma, como etapas promotoras de um envelhecimento
ativo e saudável, assente num quadro de sustentabilidade.
Corporate Social Responsibility is a subject increasingly studied not only by the academic community, but also in the business context. Nowadays, there are more and more companies in which the only concern is not merely the achievement of profit, but rather an expansion to sustainability, environmental and social issues, in a perspective of internal and external social responsibility. Social Work is a profession of intervention, promoter of quality of life and human rights, which aims to achieve social change and contribute to social Welfare. In this sense, if we allocate its intervention to the business context - Social Work in Companies - social workers can take on several functions, including direct psychosocial support to workers and their families, as a way to reduce absenteeism and any other problems that compromise their good work performance. However, due to the exponential growth in the number of elderly people in our country and the challenges that this poses, not only to the people themselves, but also to societies and organizations, a greater awareness on the part of employers is essential, namely in the way they accompany workers for preparing their retirement, as a social responsibility. The research is based on a qualitative research, with semi-structured interviews to a total of fourteen social workers who work in companies in Portugal. From this dissertation thus emerged the need for a greater intervention by social workers in the corporate context, specifically in the area of internal and external social responsibility, as well as for companies to have more concern for planning and preparing for retirement, as steps towards promoting active and healthy aging, based on a framework of sustainability.
