Abstract(s)
Nos últimos anos, temos observado uma série de mudanças no ambiente de trabalho, incluindo avanços tecnológicos, novos modelos de negócio e um destaque em aspetos cognitivos, nomeadamente a flexibilidade e autonomia. Estas alterações têm impacto na forma como as pessoas encaram o trabalho e o nível de satisfação sentido conforme as suas atividades profissionais. Até agora, a investigação tem tido como alvo a satisfação com o trabalho e a satisfação com a vida, não havendo, até à data, nenhuma relação destas variáveis com as valências de trabalho. De forma a caracterizar as associações entre estas três variáveis, o presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar a relação entre a satisfação, tanto a satisfação geral com a vida como a satisfação no trabalho, com as valências no trabalho em empreendedores. Tratou-se assim de um estudo exploratório, quantitativo, descritivo, correlacional e transversal, no qual participaram 35 empreendedores. As idades dos participantes variaram em termos de idade (22 a 66 anos), experiência no empreendedorismo (menos de 1 ano a mais de 30 anos) e setores de atuação, proporcionando uma visão diversificada do impacto das valências no trabalho e da satisfação tanto no âmbito pessoal quanto profissional. Foram aplicados quatro instrumentos: um Questionário Sociodemográfico; a Work Valences Scale; a Brief Index of Affective Job Satisfaction Scale; e a Satisfaction With Life Scale. Os dados obtidos foram tratados com recurso ao IBM SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) versão 28. Os resultados deste estudo mostram que as valências no trabalho estão significativamente associadas à satisfação no trabalho e à satisfação geral com a vida. Além disso, foi observado que a autonomia e o sentido de realização pessoal são fatores mediadores importantes na relação entre as valências do trabalho e a satisfação com a vida, destacando a relevância do equilíbrio trabalho-vida como uma dimensão essencial na satisfação global dos empreendedores.
In recent years, we have seen a number of changes in the work environment, including technological advances, new business models and an emphasis on cognitive aspects such as flexibility and autonomy. These changes have an impact on the way people view work and the level of satisfaction they feel from their work activities. So far, research has focused on job satisfaction and life satisfaction, and there has been no relationship between these variables and job valences. In order to characterise the associations between these three variables, the present study aims to investigate the relationship between satisfaction, both general life satisfaction and job satisfaction, with work valences in entrepreneurs. This was an exploratory, quantitative, descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study in which 35 entrepreneurs took part. The ages of the participants varied in terms of age (22 to 66), experience in entrepreneurship (less than 1 year to more than 30 years) and sectors of activity, providing a diverse view of the impact of work valences and satisfaction in both the personal and professional spheres. Four instruments were used: a Sociodemographic Questionnaire; the Work Valences Scale; the Brief Index of Affective Job Satisfaction Scale; and the Satisfaction With Life Scale. The data obtained was processed using IBM SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) version 28. The results of this study show that valences at work are significantly associated with job satisfaction and general satisfaction with life. In addition, it was observed that autonomy and a sense of personal fulfilment are important mediating factors in the relationship between work valences and life satisfaction, highlighting the relevance of work-life balance as an essential dimension in the overall satisfaction of entrepreneurs.
