Satisfação no trabalho e bem-estar subjetivo : um estudo com funcionários da empresa Recupera

Abstract

The research in question aimed to analyze how Job Satisfaction and Physical and Safety Conditions at Work influence the subjective well-being of employees at Recupera. For this purpose, the Job Satisfaction Scale - EST (Siqueira, 2008), the Physical and Safety Conditions at Work Scale (Silva; Ferreira, 2013) and the Subjective Well-being Scale (Albuquerque; Tróccoli, 2004) were used. Regarding the methodology, this study was descriptive in nature and adopted a quantitative approach. For its execution, a field survey was conducted with 73 employees of Recupera; the sample in question was of the non-probabilistic type, for convenience. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire with fifty-three closed questions, evaluated using a five-point Likert scale. Data processing was conducted with the aid of the statistical software Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) v. 1.0. 25, using the Spearman Correlation test and the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA tests. The results of the research revealed that time at the company is related to satisfaction with salary: the longer the time at the company, the greater the satisfaction with salary. The study also revealed that there are no significant differences in subjective well-being between the sociodemographic variables analyzed. Thus, it was concluded that job satisfaction and physical and safety conditions at work are related and directly influence the subjective well-being of Recupera employees. This indicates that the higher the levels of job satisfaction, the greater the subjective well-being of employees.
