Abstract(s)
Na presente dissertação procurou-se averiguar a perceção sobre a
identidade e atividade profissional dos psicólogos que trabalham em
contexto organizacional; compreender como um profissional a exercer funções
na área de Recursos Humanos (RH), com formação em Gestão de Recursos
Humanos (GRH), considera a sua própria atividade profissional, em comparação
com a dos profissionais com formação de base em Psicologia; e, ainda, explorar
se a perceção da própria identidade profissional por parte dos profissionais de
Recursos Humanos da área de Psicologia do Trabalho e das Organizações
(PTO) tem influência no bem-estar no trabalho. Um profissional da PTO tem uma
abordagem multidisciplinar e, por esse motivo, torna-se extremamente complexo
atingir um consenso na definição da identidade profissional e, por conseguinte,
a identificação das bases da formação em Psicologia na atividade de um
psicólogo no contexto do Trabalho e das Organizações. Como a identidade
profissional corresponde à forma como o indivíduo concebe um sentido de si,
através do reconhecimento dos outros, tornou-se pertinente averiguar a
perceção dos profissionais de GRH, uma vez que desempenham funções
idênticas às dos psicólogos do trabalho e das organizações. Foi utilizado
o método de investigação qualitativa, para obter informação de acordo com a
perspetiva dos participantes em relação ao fenómeno estudado, através de nove
entrevistas a profissionais da área de PTO e GRH. Relativamente aos objetivos
do estudo, concluiu-se que as perspetivas dos profissionais com ambas as
formações não divergiam relativamente à importância do psicólogo em contexto
organizacional. A perceção da identidade dos profissionais da PTO como
psicólogos foi exprimida, na maioria das situações, como uma identificação
positiva à sua profissão. Os participantes que tinham uma perceção indistinta ou
negativa sobre a sua identidade como psicólogos revelaram uma associação
desta identificação às funções que desempenhavam, por estas se afastarem da
matriz da ciência da Psicologia. A importância deste estudo traduz-se num
contributo para uma melhor compreensão da identidade profissional dos
psicólogos do trabalho e das organizações.
The aim of the present dissertation was to verify the perception about the professional identity and activity of psychologists working in organizational context. Furthermore, to understand how a professional working in the Human Resources area, with training in Human Resource Management, considers his own professional activity in comparison with those with a background in Psychology. And finally, in the case of professionals of Human Resources in the area of Work and Organizational Psychology, how the perception of their own professional identity has influenced their well-being at work. A Work and Organizational Psychology professional has a multidisciplinary approach and, for this reason, it becomes extremely complex to define professional identity and to identify the bases of the training in Psychology in the Work and Organizational Psychology area. Professional identity corresponds to the way in which the individual conceives a sense of the self, through the recognition of others. In addition, it became important to verify the perception of Human Resources Management professionals, because they perform the same functions as those of Work and Organizational Psychology. The qualitative method was the most adequate because we evaluated the perspective and interpretation of the participants in relation to the studied phenomenon through nine interviews with Work and Organizational Psychologist and Human Resources Management professionals. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the professionals with both academic backgrounds. In most situations, Work and Organizational Psychology practitioners’ psychologists had a positive identification of their profession. There was an association between those who had an indistinct or negative perception about their identity as a psichologist, and their work functions being distant from the science of Psychology matrix. The study was important beacause it allowed a better understanding of the professional identity of work psychologists and organizations.
