Trabalho de investigação que se alicerça na conciliação entre a vida profissional e a vida
pessoal como partes integrantes e imprescindíveis da vida humana.
Tal ideia remete-nos, inevitavelmente, para a noção de work-life blend, problemática
sobejamente conhecida, e, por conseguinte, insuficiente num tempo em que se exige cada vez
mais do trabalhador e este, do trabalho e de como o perceciona na sua vida. É, neste âmbito,
que se colocam inúmeros desafios no mundo laboral e da própria Gestão de Recursos
Humanos, sobretudo, no panorama atual pautado pela elevada exigência.
Mais do que uma noção de equilíbrio, pretende-se uma fusão, um perfeito ajuste, entre estas
duas realidades que, na verdade, integram uma só: a vida. É assim, que falamos da noção de
work-life blend.
Esta é, como sabemos, uma problemática cada vez mais em voga, mas estaremos, na
verdade, conscientes do que realmente se trata? Aplicar-se-á na prática? Este foi o mote que
levou à presente investigação.
Desta forma, a presente investigação procurou analisar a problemática do work-life blend e a
relação com a Gestão dos Recursos Humanos, de maneira a dar resposta às questões-base
que passo a enunciar: “a vida profissional afeta a pessoal? De que forma?”; “conhece a noção
de work-life balance? E de work-life blend?” e por fim, “sente work-life blend cumprido na sua
vida? Como?”.
Assim, partindo de uma abordagem teórica aliada a uma metodologia qualitativa e exploratória,
através da técnica focus group, procuramos analisar de que forma o work-life blend atua e é
percecionado junto dos trabalhadores.
Em termos gerais, constatou-se que os trabalhadores estão cada vez mais conscientes do seu
papel junto das organizações, das suas pretensões, sendo que estas não são estanques e têm
acompanhado a evolução dos tempos. Por essa mesma razão, a procura pela qualidade de
vida e complementariedade entre a vida profissional e a pessoal integram o leque de intenções
dos trabalhadores alvo do estudo. Contudo, ainda se denota que há um logo caminho a
percorrer ao nível do work-life blend, razão pela qual, a maioria não considera work-life blend
cumprido na sua vida.
Em síntese, os resultados do estudo permitem concluir que esta é uma problemática real, de
interesse comum, cada vez mais na ordem do dia, sobretudo, dado o contexto pandémico
atual.
Research work that is based on the conciliation between professional life and personal life as integral parts and, consequently, indispensable parts of human life. This idea leads us, inevitably, to the notion of work-life blend, a well-known problem, and, therefore, insufficient at a time when more and more demands are placed on the worker and the worker, on work and of how he perceives it in his life. It is in this context that many challenges arise in the world of work and Human Resources Management itself, especially in the current scenario of high demand. More than a notion of balance, it intends a fusion, a perfect fit, between these two realities that, in fact, integrate only one: life. This is how we talk about the notion of work-life blend. This is, as we know, a problem increasingly in vogue, but are we really aware of what it really is? Will it really apply in practice? This was the motto that led to this investigation. In this way, that research sought to analyse the problematic of the work-life blend and the relationship with Human Resources Management, in order to provide answers to the following basic questions: "does professional life affect personal life? In what way?"; "Do you know the notion of work-life balance? And of work-life blend?" and finally, "Do you feel work-life blend fulfilled in your life? How?". Thus, based on a theoretical approach allied to a qualitative and exploratory methodology, through the focus group technique, we tried to analyze how the work-life blend acts and is perceived by the workers. In general terms, it was found that workers are increasingly aware of their role in organisations, of their demands, which are not watertight and have followed the evolution of time. For this same reason, the search for quality of life and complementarity between professional and personal life are part of the range of intentions of the workers targeted by the study. However, it is still clear that there is a long way to go in terms of the work-life blend, which is why the majority don‟t consider the work-life blend to be fulfilled in their lives. In summary, the results of the study allow us to conclude that this is a real problem, of common interest, which is increasingly on the agenda, especially given the current pandemic context.
