Resumo: This study analyzed the impact of individual, work-related values in terms of workers’ pleasure-suffering. The variables were analyzed by means of self-applied work-related scales of values, indicators of pleasure-suffering at work and also a record of social-demographic data. One hundred and seventy-eight graduate employees of both sexes participated in the study. Their responses were subjected to descriptive,statistical analysis and linear regression. Results showed that “Accomplishment” and “Freedom”, i.e. pleasure indicators, had positive impacts on the “Social Relations” value. However, the principal role of “Social Relations” was to predict the reduction in the suffering dimensions “Stress” and “Disparagement”, dimensions which were also predicted by increase in age. The areas of graduation “Applied Social Sciences” and “Humanities” predicted greater “Freedom” at work. It may be concluded that work-related values are drivers for the understanding of the pleasure-suffering phenomenon in the working environment; limitations with the study have been noted and further investigation is recommended.

As variáveis foram avaliadas por meio de escalas autoaplicáveis de valores relativos ao trabalho, de indicadores de prazer-sofrimento no trabalho e de uma ficha de dados sociodemográficos. Participaram do estudo 178 trabalhadores de nível de formação superior, de ambos os sexos, formalmente contratados. Suas respostas foram submetidas a análises estatísticas descritivas e regressões lineares. Resultados mostraram que 'Realização' e 'Liberdade', indicadores de prazer, sofreram impactos positivos do valor 'Relações Sociais'. Mas o principal papel de 'Relações Sociais' foi o de predizer a redução das dimensões do sofrimento, 'Desgaste' e 'Desvalorização', dimensões também preditas pelo aumento da idade. As áreas de formação 'Ciências Sociais Aplicadas' e 'Ciências Humanas' predisseram maior 'Liberdade' no trabalho. Conclui-se que valores relativos ao trabalho são norteadores para a compreensão do fenômeno do prazer-sofrimento no trabalho, apontam-se limitações do estudo e sugerem-se investigações posteriores.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2010-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigosapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/7133Psychological Studies; Vol. 27 No. 2 (2010): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 27 Núm. 2 (2010): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 27 n. 2 (2010): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/7133/4698Copyright (c) 2022 Flávia Arantes Lopes GUIMARÃES, Maria do Carmo Fernandes MARTINShttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGUIMARÃES, Flávia Arantes Lopes MARTINS, Maria do Carmo Fernandes 2024-04-26T12:52:18Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/7133Revistahttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudosPRIhttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudos/oaisbi.ne_estpsi@puc-campinas.edu.br||estudosdepsicologia@puc-campinas.edu.br||psychologicalstudies@puc-campinas.edu.br1982-02750103-166Xopendoar:2024-04-26T12:52:18Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
