Resumo: At present time, humankind is challenged with many problems. At work field the situation is not different. Intimidating words are daily heard, such as: downsizing, cutbacks, fusions, acquisitions, reengineering, etc. However, at least in this area, the initiative of some companies to provide a healthier environment to their employees should be received with enthusiam. Work is an essential component of the picture of human experiences, allowing our abilities and potentialities to come forth. Nevertheless, companies have been making use of man at their own convenience. And technology has been a mean instrument in this task Hence, we propose a conceptual framework composed by some variables regarded as fundamental and indispensable to the achievement of happiness at work, namely: satisfaction at work, confidence, loyalty, leadership, values, and humanism. Finally, we conclude that entrepreneurial managers are now facing the challenge and opportunity to bring about truly creative changes, which are differentiated and far beyond the conventional notions.

En el campo del trabajo la situación no es diferente. Diariamente oimos palabras asustadoras como: downsizing, enjugamiento, fusiones, aquisiciones, reengeniería etc. Pero, por lo menos en esa area, se debe saudar con efusión la iniciativa de algunas empresas en proporcionar un ambiente de trabajo más saudable a sus empleados. El trabajo es un componente fundamental en el cuadro de las experiencias humanas, pues permite que externemos nuestras habilidades y potencialidades. Mientras tanto, las empresas se han servido del hombre a su agrado. Y la tecnología ha sido un instrumento cruel en ese destajo. Asi, proponemos un modelo conceptual compuesto de algunas variables que suponemos ser fundamentales y imprescindibles a la construción de la felicidad en el trabajo (FT) a saber: satisfación en el trabajo, confianza, lealdad, lideranza, valores y humanismo. Por fin, concluimos que los dirigentes empresariales tienen delante de si el desafío y la oportunidad de empreender cambios verdaderamente criativos, diferenciados y muy además del convencional.Atualmente, não são poucos os problemas a desafiar a humanidade.

O trabalho é um componente fundamental no quadro das experiências humanas, pois permite que externemos nossas habilidades e potencialidades. Entretanto, as empresas têm se servido do homem ao seu bel-prazer. E a tecnologia tem sido um instrumento cruel nessa empreitada. Assim, propomos um modelo conceitual composto de algumas variáveis que supomos ser fundamentais e imprescindíveis à construção da felicidade no trabalho (FT) a saber: satisfação no trabalho, confiança, lealdade, liderança, valores e humanismo. Por fim, concluímos que os dirigentes empresariais têm diante de si o desafio e a oportunidade de empreender mudanças verdadeiramente criativas, diferenciadas e muito além do convencional.Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2013-09-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionScientific Article;artículo científico;Avaliado pelos paresartigo científico;application/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/read/article/view/42545Electronic Review of Administration; Vol. 10 No. 1 (2004): Edição 37 - jan/fev 2004Revista Electrónica de Administración; Vol. 10 Núm. 1 (2004): Edição 37 - jan/fev 2004Revista Eletrônica de Administração; v. 10 n. 1 (2004): Edição 37 - jan/fev 20041413-23111980-4164reponame:REAd (Porto Alegre.
