Abstract(s)
A presente investigação tem como principal objetivo explorar as relações estabelecidas
entre o trabalho e a vida pessoal dos colaboradores da Geração Z. Especificamente,
pretende-se compreender como a vida profissional e pessoal se influenciam
mutuamente, identificar as práticas organizacionais que atendem aos interesses da
Geração Z, analisar possíveis prioridades concedidas ao trabalho e/ou à vida pessoal, e
explorar a importância do desempenho de múltiplos papéis na diversidade geracional.
Para a realização deste estudo privilegiou-se uma abordagem qualitativa, utilizando a
entrevista semiestruturada como técnica de recolha de informação. Foram realizadas, no
total, 17 entrevistas a profissionais de Recursos Humanos da Geração Z, e a análise dos
dados foi efetuada segundo os métodos da análise de conteúdo. Os resultados
demonstraram a pertinência e satisfação de uma organização promotora de conciliação,
onde as práticas de flexibilidade de horários e de regimes de trabalho são determinantes
para proporcionar maior liberdade na gestão das exigências profissionais e outros
compromissos. Os resultados também sugerem que a relação bidirecional entre a vida
profissional e pessoal é influenciada pela tamanha necessidade de um equilíbrio
satisfatório de ambas as esferas. No entanto, estes profissionais admitem enfrentar
alguns constrangimentos na conciliação, devido a elevadas cargas de trabalho e à gestão
do tempo. Finalmente, os resultados são evidentes quanto ao interesse avultado da
Geração Z em garantir que a vida profissional ocupe apenas uma parte das suas vidas,
permitindo-lhes atender às suas necessidades pessoais, em comparação com as gerações
anteriores. As implicações práticas e teóricas dos resultados foram meticulosamente
analisadas, seguidas por potenciais questões de investigação futura e sugestões de
melhoria.
The present investigation aims to explore the relationships established between work and personal life among Generation Z employees. Specifically, it aims to understand how professional and personal lives influence each other, identify organizational practices that meet the interests of Generation Z, analyze the priorities given to work and/or personal life, and explore the importance of performing multiple roles across generational diversity. A qualitative approach was chosen for this study, utilizing semi structured interviews as the data collection technique. A total of 17 interviews were conducted with Human Resources professionals from Generation Z, and data analysis was performed using content analysis methods. The results demonstrated the relevance and satisfaction of an organization that promotes work-life balance, where flexible working hours and work arrangements are crucial in providing greater freedom in managing professional demands and other commitments. The results also suggest that the bidirectional relationship between professional and personal life is influenced by the significant need for a satisfactory balance between both spheres. However, these professionals acknowledge facing some challenges in balancing their responsibilities due to heavy workloads and time management issues. Finally, the results clearly show Generation Z's significant interest in ensuring that professional life occupies only a part of their lives, allowing them to meet their personal needs compared to previous generations. The practical and theoretical implications of the results have been meticulously analyzed, followed by potential avenues for future research and suggestions for improvement.
