Abstract(s)
A sociedade atual depara-se com uma tarefa árdua de criar um equilíbrio entre as várias dimensões da vida humana: social, profissional e pessoal. Os desafios propostos são cada vez mais exigentes afetando o ritmo da vida quotidiana, sendo por isso necessário tentar manter o equilíbrio para que se tenha o máximo de qualidade de vida possível. A exigência de tentar manter este equilíbrio, associado aos efeitos de um quotidiano acelerado, provoca, com frequência, uma instabilidade a nível cognitivo, físico e social conduzindo a um desgaste constante dos indivíduos e provocando cansaço a nível psicológico, como se todos os seus recursos fossem consumidos. Sucede-se assim um desequilíbrio ou a nível social, ou profissional ou pessoal ou até tridimensional que se pode traduzir em estados de elevada exaustão, de reduzido relacionamento com as pessoas e de sentimentos de baixa realização revelando assim caraterísticas que identificam a Síndrome de Burnout.
O Burnout é uma síndrome que influencia negativamente a vida profissional dos indivíduos e que, infelizmente, ainda tende a ser desvalorizado pelas organizações.
Com este estudo pretendeu-se avaliar qual o nível de Burnout da amostra de profissionais do contexto financeiro, onde se inserem profissões relacionadas com finanças, economia, gestão, contabilidade e/ou que prestem funções de suporte às empresas de Auditoria ou Consultadoria. Dada a conjuntura atual face à pandemia do COVID-19, algumas empresas viram-se obrigadas a alterar o seu método laboral, optando por um modelo de teletrabalho. A amostra alvo do estudo foi constituída por 151 profissionais, sendo que 86,1% da amostra recolhida exerceu funções deslocalizadas, vulgo, teletrabalho. Como tal, a metodologia deste estudo foi influenciada pela atual conjuntura. A amostra em estudo revelou um maior nível de exaustão, face às restantes subescalas, mas não revela níveis significativos de Burnout. Verificamos ainda que existe uma associação positiva entre o número de horas trabalhadas e o nível de Burnout Global.
Nowadays, society is at an arduous task of creating a balance between the various dimensions of human life: social, professional and personal. The challenges proposed are increasingly demanding affecting the pace of daily life, so it is necessary to try to maintain balance so that you have as much quality of life as possible. The requirement to try to maintain this balance, associated with the effects of an exhausting daily life, often causes an instability at the cognitive, physical and social level leading to a constant wear and tear of individuals and causing fatigue at the psychological level, as if all their efforts were redundant. Thus, there is an imbalance either at the three-dimensional level that can be translated into states of high exhaustion, reduced relationship with people and feelings of low achievement therefore revealing characteristics that identify Burnout syndrome. Burnout is a syndrome that negatively influences the professional being of individuals and unfortunately still tends to be devalued by organizations. This study aimed to evaluate the Burnout level of a sample of professionals from the financial context, where professions related to finance, economics, management, accounting and/or that provide support functions to audit or consulting companies are included. Given the current situation in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, some companies have been forced to change their working method by opting for a teleworking model. The target sample of the study consisted of 151 professionals, and 86.1% of the sample collected exercised relocated functions, a.k.a. teleworking. As such, the methodology of this study was influenced by the current state of the pandemic. The study sample revealed a higher level of exhaustion compared to the other subscales but did not reveal significant levels of Burnout. We also found that there is a positive association between the number of hours worked and the level of Global Burnout.
