Elementos de Vitória "(...) Estão cheias as livrarias de todo o mundo de livros que ensinam a vencer. Muitos deles contêm indicações interessantes, por vezes aproveitáveis. Quase todos se reportam particularmente ao êxito material, o que é explicável, pois é esse o que supremamente interessa à grande maioria dos homens. A ciência de vencer é, contudo, facílima de expor; em aplicá-la, ou não, é que está o segredo do êxito ou a explicação da falta dele. Para vencermaterial ou imaterialmentetrês coisas definíveis são precisas: saber trabalhar, aproveitar oportunidades e criar relações. O resto pertence ao elemento indefinível, mas real, a que, à falta de melhor nome, se chama sorte (...)".
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a subjective multidimensional measure of early career success during university-to-work transition. Design/methodology/approach – The construct of university-to-work success (UWS) was defined in terms of intrinsic and extrinsic career outcomes, and a three-stage study was conducted to create a new scale. Findings – A preliminary set of items was developed and tested by judges. Results showed the items had good content validity. Factor analyses indicated a four-factor structure and a second-order model with subscales to assess: career insertion and satisfaction, confidence in career future, income and financial independence, and adaptation to work. Third, the authors sought to confirm the hypothesized model examining the comparative fit of the scale and two alternative models. Results showed that fits for both the first- and second-order models were acceptable. Research limitations/implications – The proposed model has sound psychometric qualities, although the validated version of the scale was not able to incorporate all constructs envisaged by the initial theoretical model. Results indicated some direction for further refinement. Practical implications – The scale could be used as a tool for self-assessment or as an outcome measure to assess the efficacy of university-to-work programs in applied settings. Originality/value – This study provides a useful single measure to assess early career success during the university-to-work transition, and might facilitate testing of causal models which could help identify factors relevant for successful transition.
ResumoUm dos focos da Política Nacional de Humanização (PNH) é promover saúde e bem-estar dos profi ssionais do SUS; a literatura aponta sua vulnerabilidade ao estresse ocupacional. Um estudo quali-quanti (observações etnográfi cas e aplicação da Escala de Estresse no Trabalho -13 respondentes) investigou o estresse na equipe de um CAPS e suas práticas/processos de trabalho. Diagnosticou-se "nível intermediário de estresse" na equipe (M=2,5); 09 de 23 fatores psicossociais tiveram médias acima de 2,5 (altamente estressores). As mais altas: defi ciência nas capacitações (M=3,8) e na circulação das informações (M=3,2); discriminação/favoritismo na instituição (M=3,2). A análise qualitativa, construcionista social, elucidou processos psicossociais e sentidos, "por trás" dos fatores objetivos, construídos sobre a assistência, a instituição e seus problemas. Destacam-se: sensações de despreparo técnico, tensões interpessoais, difi culdades comunicacionais e de lidar com a "loucura". O estresse elevado sugere possível "desumanização" dos/ nos processos de trabalho do serviço e na sua relação com a gestão. Palavras-chave: Humanização; Saúde mental; Estresse; Saúde do trabalhador; Centro de Atenção Psicossocial. AbstractOne of the focuses of the Brazilian National Humanization Policy (NHP) is to promote SUS's staff health and wellbeing; literature indicates staff's vulnerability to occupational stress. A quali-quanti study (ethnographic observations and Work Stress Scale -13 respondents) investigated stress level among staff in a Psychosocial Care Center and their work practices/processes. "Intermediate level of stress" (M=2.5) was diagnosed on the team; 9 out of 23 psychosocial items had averages above 2.5 (highly stressful), the highest being: defi cit in professional training (M=3.8); information fl ow (M=3.2); and institution discrimination/favoritism (M=3.2). Qualitative analysis, through social constructionist epistemology, elucidated psychosocial processes "behind" quantitative results. Worth mentioning: unpreparedness, helplessness, interpersonal confl icts, communication issues and problems on how to deal with "insanity". High stress levels suggest a possible "dehumanization" of working processes or at work, and its relation with management. Key-words: Humanization; Mental health; Stress; Occupational health; Psychosocial Care Center.
