O presente trabalho tem como objetivo primário aprofundar e investigar, de forma científica, tanto ao nível teórico como empírico a relação (potencial) entre as variáveis satisfação profissional e saúde (física e mental) numa amostra de participantes portugueses e brasileiros.
O estudo realizado e documento iniciam-se com contributos teóricos organizados pelas duas temáticas principais. Ao nível empírico inicia-se com a exploração e análise da forma como as duas variáveis se correlacionam, ou não, entre si. Procura-se, posteriormente, estudar se as duas variáveis estabelecem, ou não, entre si, uma relação de tipo preditivo, ou seja, explora-se, por um lado, se a satisfação profissional prediz, ou não, variáveis da saúde física e mental e se, por outro lado, variáveis da saúde física e mental predizem, ou não, dimensões da satisfação profissional. Por último, explora-se a existência de relações estatisticamente significativas entre as dimensões da satisfação profissional em função de alguns fatores sociodemográficos e profissionais, como o género, a idade, a nacionalidade e a área de atividade das instituições onde os respondentes exercem funções laborais.
Para avaliar a satisfação profissional recorreu-se à escala de satisfação no trabalho – EST versão reduzida (Siqueira, 2002) composta por cinco dimensões diferentes. Para medir a saúde física e mental recorreu-se à escala saúde física e mental – SF-36 (Ware & Sherbourne, 1992). Adicionalmente a estes dois questionários foi ainda administrado um questionário sociodemográfico. Os três questionários foram respondidos, de forma válida, por 1097 participantes.
Os resultados das análises efectuadas aos dados recolhidos evidenciaram a existência de correlação significativa na generalidade das dimensões de satisfação no trabalho com as dimensões da saúde física e mental. Verificou-se, em particular, que apenas uma dimensão de satisfação profissional era preditora das primeiras duas dimensões de saúde física e mental, sendo que nas restantes dimensões se verificou que mais do que uma dimensão de satisfação profissional era preditora de saúde física e mental. Em sentido inverso, verificou-se que mais de uma dimensão de saúde física e mental era preditora de cada uma das dimensões de satisfação profissional. Em relação às análises efetuadas para verificação da eventual existência de diferenças, entre os participantes, a variável género apresentou ausência de qualquer tipo de diferença estatisticamente significativa. Em situação oposta, a idade apresentou, nalguns intervalos, diferenças estatisticamente significativas, mostrando que os indivíduos mais velhos estão, na generalidade, mais satisfeitos em todas as dimensões da satisfação profissional, comparativamente aos indivíduos mais novos. Relativamente à nacionalidade, os resultados mostram que os participantes brasileiros estão, em geral, mais satisfeitos com o salário e com as promoções, comparativamente aos participantes portugueses. No que diz respeito à área de atividade da instituição, os resultados mostram que os participantes que integram organizações pertencentes ao setor dos serviços se encontram, em geral, mais satisfeitos com os colegas de trabalho e com as chefias, comparativamente aos participantes de organizações que pertencem ao setor industrial.
Conclusivamente, considera-se que os resultados desta investigação, com os seus limites e mais-valias, podem constituir-se como um contributo significativo relevante, para a comunidade científica da área da psicologia, tanto da área organizacional como da saúde, ao nível da melhor compreensão e aprofundamento do estudo da (potencial) associação e análise da(s) influência(s) entre variáveis profissionais, como a satisfação profissional, e variáveis pessoais como a saúde (física e mental).
This work has as primary objective to deepen and investigate, scientifically, both theoretical and empirical level the relationship (potential) between the variables job satisfaction and health (physical and mental) in a sample of Portuguese and Brazilian participants. The conducted study and document begin with theoretical contributions organized by the two main themes. The empirical level begins with the exploration and analysis of how the two variables are correlated or not with each other. Wanted thereafter study whether the two variables set, or not, of itself, a predictive type of relationship, ie if explores, on the one hand, if the job satisfaction predicts whether or not variables and physical health mental and, moreover, variable physical and mental health predict whether or not dimensions of job satisfaction. Finally, it explores the existence of statistically significant relationships between the dimensions of job satisfaction due to some socio-demographic and professional factors such as gender, age, nationality and area of activity of the institutions where the respondents perform labor functions. To assess job satisfaction we used the satisfaction scale at work - EST reduced version (Smith, 2002) consists of five different dimensions. To measure the physical and mental health resorted to scale physical and mental health - SF-36 (Ware & Sherbourne, 1992). In addition to these two questionnaires was even administered a sociodemographic questionnaire. The three questionnaires were answered, validly, 1097 participants. The results of analyzes carried out to the data collected showed the existence of significant correlation in most dimensions of satisfaction in working with the dimensions of physical and mental health. There was, in particular, that only one dimension of job satisfaction was predictive of the first two dimensions of physical and mental health, and in other dimensions was found that more than one dimension of job satisfaction was predictive of physical and mental health. Conversely, it was found that more than one dimension of physical and mental health was predictive of each dimension of job satisfaction. Regarding the analysis performed to verify the existence of differences among participants, the variable gender showed absence of any statistically significant difference. In the opposite situation, age was in some intervals, statistically significant differences, showing that older individuals are, in general, more satisfied in all dimensions of job satisfaction, compared to younger individuals. With regard to nationality, the results show that the Brazilian participants are generally more satisfied with the wages and promotions, compared to the Portuguese participants. With regard to the institution's activity area, the results show that participants who integrate organizations belonging to the service sector are generally more satisfied with co-workers and the managers compared to participating organizations belonging the industrial sector. Conclusively, it is considered that the results of this research, with its limits and capital gains, may constitute a relevant significant contribution to the scientific community of the area of psychology, both the organizational area as health, the level of better understanding and study of the deepening of the (potential) association and analysis (s) influence (s) between professional variables such as job satisfaction, and personal variables such as health (physical and mental).
