Abstract(s)
A presente investigação teve como objectivo principal avaliar a Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho e os Comportamentos de Saúde dos trabalhadores de uma multinacional. Para além disto, pretendeu-se verificar a existência de relação entre ambas, bem como a relação entre cada uma destas variáveis principais e as variáveis sócio-demográficas. A amostra utilizada para a realização deste estudo foi constituída por 81 trabalhadores de uma empresa multinacional do sector alimentar, dos quais 56 eram homens e 23 mulheres, sendo que a maioria pertencia à faixa entre os 40 e os 49 anos de idade. Os instrumentos utilizados consistiram num questionário sócio-demográfico, Questionário de Atitudes e Comportamentos de Saúde para avaliar os Comportamentos de Saúde dos sujeitos (Ribeiro, 2004), bem como o Inventário de Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho (Dias, 2009), no sentido de avaliar a importância e a frequência de Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho dos indivíduos. Os resultados obtidos indicam uma correlação entre Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho e os Comportamentos de Saúde adoptados pelos participantes. A nível mais particular, os resultados revelam que os participantes tendem a adoptar Comportamentos de Saúde positivos, nomeadamente a nível da nutrição, auto-cuidado e segurança motorizada. Relativamente à Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho, os mesmos apontam, a nível comparativo entre a escala de importância e a escala de frequência, a atribuição de uma maior importância do que de frequência, no que respeita às diferentes dimensões. É ainda importante salientar que as dimensões com valor mais elevado na escala de importância coincidem com aquelas que são referidas como mais frequentes.
This research was aimed to evaluate the Quality of Working Life and Health Behaviours of workers in a multinational. In addition, we sought to verify the relationship between both, and the relationship between each one of the variables and the main socio-demographic variables. The sample for this study consisted in 81 workers of a multinational which operate in the food sector, where 56 were men and 23 women, most of which belonged to the range between 40 and 49 years. The instruments used consisted in a socio-demographic questionnaire, a questionnaire entitled, the Questionnaire of Aptitudes and Health Behaviors to measure health behaviors of individuals (Ribeiro, 2004) and the Inventory of Quality of Working Life (Dias, 2009), to evaluate the importance and frequency of quality of Working Life in individuals. The results indicate a correlation between Quality of Working Life and Health Behaviour adopted by the participants. More in particular, results show that participants tend to adopt positive health behaviors, including their nutrition, self-care and motorized safety. Relatively to Quality of Working Life they point out that in level of comparison between the scale of importance and frequency scale, the attribution of greater to importance rather to frequency, with respect to different dimensions. It is also important to note that the dimensions with highest value on the scale of importance coincide with those that are reported as more frequent.
