Resumo: The concept of quality of work life under a multifaceted dynamics involves cultural, social, economic, political and temporal aspects, in addition to the notions of physical and emotional health. It creates a sensation that can be interpreted from a diachronic, personal and social perspective, as the pro­vider of well-being condition. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to identify how the quality of work life is affected as a result from smell perceptions and what the implications are for the health of employees of Department of Criminalistics, which integrates the General Institute of Forensics of Rio Grande do Sul. The methodology chosen to carry out this research was ethnography, with participative observation and interviews. The data analysis focused on the articulation of theoretical bases with emic categories and ethical interpretation, revealing that the ‘smell of death’ is regarded by the employees as something hard tolerate. The cigarette is a way of alleviating the putrid odors. The ingestion of certain foods is equally affected by the smell and view of the crime scene. In this context, the use of masks and ergonomically adequate clothing is a sine qua non condition.

Diante disso, este artigo tem por objetivo identificar como a qualidade de vida no trabalho é afetada em decorrência das percepções olfativas e quais as implicações na saúde dos servidores que integram o Departamento de Criminalística vinculado ao Instituto-Geral de Perícias do Rio Grande do Sul. A opção metodológica para a realização da pesquisa recaiu sobre a etnografia, tendo por técnicas a observação participante e a realização de entrevistas. A análise dos dados contemplou a articulação dos embasamentos teóricos com as categorias êmicas e com a interpretação ética, revelando que o “cheiro da morte” é tido como algo difícil de ser suportado pelos servidores, sendo o cigarro utilizado para amenizar os odores pútridos. A ingestão de certos alimentos igualmente fica comprometida pelo cheiro e visão do local de crime. Frente a este quadro, o desenvolvimento de máscaras e indumentárias ergonomicamente adequadas faz-se mister.Núcleo de Pós-graduação em Administração, Escola de Administração, UFBA2014-07-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/revistaoes/article/view/9973Organizações & Sociedade; Vol. 21 No. 68 (2014)Organizações & Sociedade; v. 21 n. 68 (2014)1984-92301413-585Xreponame:Organizações & Sociedade (Online)instname:Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)instacron:UFBAporhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/revistaoes/article/view/9973/8347Cavedon, Neusa Rolitainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-01-17T17:34:11Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufba.br:article/9973Revistahttp://www.revistaoes.ufba.br/PUBhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phpcandidab@ufba.br||revistaoes@ufba.br1984-92301413-585Xopendoar:2020-01-17T17:34:11Organizações & Sociedade (Online) - Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)false
