Abstract(s)
A literatura apresenta uma panóplia de pesquisas que definem as características do trabalho como sendo cruciais para o bemestar físico e psicológico dos colaboradores. As valências de trabalho definem as dimensões positivas e negativas das experiências de trabalho de cada indivíduo. O objetivo desta investigação foi perceber de que modo a perceção de autonomia, perceção de exigências e o apoio do supervisor no trabalho se relacionam com as valências de trabalho, tanto positivas como negativas, e entender de que modo é que as valências de trabalho, tanto positivas como negativas, se relacionam com o engagement. Tratase de um estudo quantitativo, utilizando um desenho transversal e amostragem não probabilística. A amostra foi composta por 384 indivíduos portugueses com idade superior a 18 anos e empregados, a quem se aplicou um questionário sociodemográfico de maneira a recolher dados referentes às variáveis sociodemográficas e os respetivos instrumentos para medir os construtos de exigências, autonomia e apoio do supervisor, o engagement e as valências de trabalho positivas e negativas. Os resultados indicaram que quanto mais elevada é a perceção de autonomia e apoio do supervisor mais valências positivas de trabalho. Por outro lado, quanto mais elevada é a perceção de autonomia e apoio da chefia menos valências negativas de trabalho. Foi possível apurar que existe uma relação positiva entre as exigências de trabalho e as valências negativas, bem como uma relação negativa entre a autonomia e o apoio da chefia com as valências negativas. Por fim, as valências positivas de trabalho relacionamse positivamente com o engagement.
The literature presents a range of research that defines the characteristics of work as being crucial for the physical and psychological wellbeing of employees. Work valences define the positive and negative dimensions of each individual's work experiences. The objective of this investigation was to understand how the perception of autonomy, perception of demands and support from the supervisor at work are related to work valences, both positive and negative, and to understand how work valences, both positive and negative, relate to engagement. This is a quantitative study, using a crosssectional design and nonprobability sampling. The sample consisted of 384 Portuguese individuals over the age of 18 and employed, to whom a sociodemographic questionnaire was administered in order to collect data regarding sociodemographic variables and the respective instruments to measure the constructs of demands, autonomy and support from the supervisor, engagement and positive and negative work valences. The results indicated that the higher the perception of autonomy and support from the supervisor, the more positive work valences. On the other hand, the higher the perception of autonomy and support from management, the fewer negative work valences. It was possible to determine that there is a positive relationship between work demands and negative valences, as well as a negative relationship between autonomy and support from management with negative valences. Finally, positive work valences are positively related to engagement.
