Resumo: The aim of this study was to analyze the work satisfaction of independent truck drivers and employees of carriers. It is understood that job satisfaction is essential to improving the quality of life for professionals who spend much of their time outside the home and in natural conditions. We interviewed 342 drivers in various states of Brazil, with a mean age of 44 years (SD 10.88), and more than half with only primary education. The results show a strong influence of loading demand and employment contract with companies for the best satisfaction. Drivers report great dissatisfaction with the work, which includes basic conditions (health and safety) issues marked (offering loads, waiting time in queues). An understanding of satisfaction and better conditions offered by companies are important variables to improve health and welfare of these professionals.

Entende-se que a satisfação com o trabalho é elemento essencial para a melhoria da qualidade de vida de profissionais que passam boa parte do tempo fora de casa e em condições singulares. Foram entrevistados 342 motoristas de diversos Estados do Brasil, com média de idade de 44 anos (DP 10,88), e mais da metade somente com ensino fundamental. Os resultados apontam uma forte influência da oferta de carga e do vinculo empregatício com empresas para a melhor satisfação. Os motoristas relatam grande insatisfação com o trabalho, o que inclui condições básicas (saúde e segurança) e questões de marcado (oferta de cargas, tempo de espera em filas). O entendimento sobre a satisfação e melhores condições dadas pelas empresas são fundamentais para saúde e bem-estar destes profissionais.Universidade Federal do Ceará2014-10-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://www.periodicos.ufc.br/psicologiaufc/article/view/984Journal of Psychology; v.5, n.1, 2014 (janeiro-junho); 109-120Revista de Psicologia; v.5, n.1, 2014 (janeiro-junho); 109-1202179-17400102-1222reponame:Revista de Psicologia (Fortaleza.
