Abstract(s)
O presente estudo tem como principal objetivo compreender os aspetos mais desafiantes do conflito trabalho-família para os pais e mães trabalhadores/as que têm filhos com doze anos ou menos.
Pretendeu-se identificar os desafios na conciliação do trabalho com a vida familiar, identificar os principais obstáculos organizacionais na conciliação do trabalho com a vida familiar e identificar elementos facilitadores para uma boa conciliação entre trabalho e vida familiar, na perspetiva dos pais e mães trabalhadores/as.
De forma a prosseguir com o estudo, definiu-se uma metodologia mista e utilizou-se o questionário como técnica de recolha de informação. Neste sentido, obterve-se uma amostra de 119 participantes ativos no mercado de trabalho e pai ou mãe de, pelo menos, uma criança com doze anos de idade ou menos.
Os principais resultados demonstram que os pais e mães trabalhadores/as sentem que a conciliação entre o trabalho e a vida familiar é afetada por diversos fatores, incluindo a gestão do tempo, as responsabilidades familiares e as condições contratuais. Pais e mães que trabalham, muitas vezes não recebem o apoio necessário das suas organizações e/ou das suas chefias, o que promove o conflito e impacta negativamente seu bem-estar no trabalho e no seio familiar. A isto, acrescentam-se os obstáculos organizacionais que incluem a falta de políticas de bem-estar, como programas de assistência à criança e apoio à saúde. A ausência de benefícios como cheques-creche, licença parental estendida e flexibilidade de horário também contribuem para o conflito trabalho-família.
De forma a facilitar a conciliação os participante referiram a redução da jornada de trabalho, a implementação do trabalho remoto/híbrido, o apoio social / financeiro na educação dos filhos e o aumento de recursos humanos podem ter um impacto positivo, melhorando o bem-estar e o sucesso tanto na esfera do trabalho como na esfera familiar dos participantes.
The present study aims to understand that work-family conflict is increasingly prevalent in the families of working fathers and mothers with children aged twelve or younger. The intention was to identify challenges in reconciling work with family life, identify the primary organizational obstacles in balancing work and family life, and identify facilitating factors for a successful work-family balance from the perspective of working fathers and mothers. To proceed with the study, a mixed methodology was defined, and a questionnaire was used as the data collection technique. In this regard, 147 individuals were randomly and anonymously surveyed, of which 119 met the criteria: being a working parent of at least one child aged twelve or younger. The main results demonstrate that working fathers and mothers feel that the reconciliation of work and family life is affected by various factors, including time management, family responsibilities, and contractual conditions. Working parents often do not receive the necessary support from their organizations and/or their supervisors, which promotes conflict and negatively impacts their well-being at work and within the family. In addition, organizational obstacles include the absence of well-being policies, such as child assistance programs and support for health. The lack of benefits such as childcare vouchers, extended parental leave, and flexible hours also contributes to work-family conflict. To facilitate reconciliation, reducing working hours, implementing remote/hybrid work, supporting child education, and increasing human resources can have a positive impact, improving the well-being and success of participants both in the workplace and in the family sphere.
