Abstract(s)
A Felicidade no trabalho, não sendo consensual e gerando controvérsia, apresenta-se como uma temática acutilante e disruptiva, que, apesar de não ter um posicionamento e aceitação unânimes, particularmente na comunidade científica, desfruta de uma crescente premência no contexto organizacional, tendo vindo a afirmar-se, de modo transversal à maioria das valências da GRH, refletindo-se nas práticas organizacionais.
Pretendeu-se, com este estudo contribuir para uma melhor compreensão da felicidade no trabalho e das práticas organizacionais a ela subjacentes, desenvolvendo um estudo exploratório em empresas ilustrativas da prática de promoção de felicidade no trabalho, no setor do IT, em Portugal, de molde a perceber quais as práticas encetadas e compreender qual a perspetiva dos profissionais responsáveis pela aplicação dessas mesmas práticas, no que se refere à sua importância. Por último, pretendeu-se apreender os fatores identificados como antecedentes e consequências da felicidade no trabalho, assim como os desafios com que se deparará.
Assim, após uma revisão da literatura, que permitiu um conhecimento mais aprofundado da temática, a elaboração de um modelo teórico de referência e a identificação dos objetivos da investigação, foram realizadas 12 entrevistas a profissionais responsáveis pela implementação e/ou aplicação de práticas de felicidade no trabalho nas respetivas empresas – utilizando-se a metodologia qualitativa e tendo-se recorrido à entrevista semiestruturada para recolha de dados, sendo que a análise dos dados radicou nos pressupostos da análise temática.
As conclusões sugeridas pelos dados e decorrentes da apresentação e discussão dos resultados visam alargar o espectro da produção teórica académica neste nicho de interesse ainda em desenvolvimento, desbravando caminho para novas investigações e apontando possíveis limitações e potencialidades ou aspetos não explorados, com o intuito de acrescentar valor ao conhecimento do presente objeto de estudo. Pretende-se, ainda, demonstrar a urgência e premência desta dimensão enquanto parte integrante da estratégia das empresas, num mundo em constante mutação.
Happiness at work, although not consensual and generating controversy, is a sharp and disruptive topic which, despite not having a unanimous position and acceptance, particularly in the scientific community, is enjoying growing urgency in the organisational context and has been asserting itself across the board in most areas of HRM, reflected in organisational practices. The aim of this study was to contribute to a better understanding of happiness at work and the organisational practices that underpin it, by carrying out an exploratory study of companies in the IT sector in Portugal that are illustrative of the practice of promoting happiness at work, in order to understand what practices have been put in place and the perspective of the professionals responsible for implementing these practices, in terms of their importance. Finally, we wanted to understand the factors identified as antecedents and consequences of happiness at work, as well as the challenges it will face. Thus, after a literature review, which allowed for a more in-depth knowledge of the subject, the development of a theoretical reference model and the identification of the research objectives, 12 interviews were carried out with professionals responsible for implementing and/or applying happiness at work practices in their respective companies - using qualitative methodology and semi-structured interviews for data collection, with data analysis rooted in the assumptions of thematic analysis. The conclusions suggested by the data and arising from the presentation and discussion of the results aim to broaden the spectrum of academic theoretical production in this niche of interest that is still under development, paving the way for new research and pointing out possible limitations and potentialities or unexplored aspects, with the aim of adding value to the knowledge of this object of study. The aim is also to demonstrate the urgency and urgency of this dimension as an integral part of company strategy in a constantly changing world.
