Trabalho em turnos e dimensões sociais: um estudo na indústria têxtil

Abstract

O trabalho em turnos tem sido associado a diversas consequências na vida dos trabalhadores. Este estudo analisa as consequências do trabalho em turnos ao nível familiar, social e organizacional e de que forma tais dimensões podem interferir na adaptação a estes horários. Foi utilizada uma amostra de 239 trabalhadores de uma empresa têxtil portuguesa, distribuídos pelos seguintes horários: convencional (08h-12h30/13h30-17h), 1º turno (06h/14h; turno da manhã), 2º turno (14h/22h; turno da tarde) e 3º turno (22h/06h; turno da noite). Na coleta de dados foi usado um questionário para avaliar, entre outros aspectos, a relação do horário de trabalho com a vida conjugal, a vida social ou o apoio da empresa. Os resultados apontam para uma preferência dos trabalhadores relativamente ao 1º turno, tendo este obtido os melhores scores em todos os aspectos. O horário convencional, por sua vez, apresenta os scores mais reduzidos. Genericamente, os resultados apontam para a importância de dimensões sociais na gestão do tempo de trabalho.

Impacts of shift work: A study in textile companies in Portugal

“…This result is also consistent with the literature. For example, the study of Ferreira and Silva (2013), held on a Portuguese textile industry, noted that the morning shift workers were those who presented greater satisfaction with their work schedule. In the study of Ferreira and Silva (2013), as in the present study, the morning shift began at 06:00 a.m. and ended at 02:00 p.m. One of the main positive aspects associated with this work schedule, also indicated by the comments of the workers in the open question, concerns the free time it provides during the day, including evening.…”

From the point of view of the organization of society`s time, end-of-day and weekend periods tend to be the most valued for family and social activities (Baker et al, 2003;Gadbois, 2004;Craig and Brown, 2014).…”

“…For example, in the study by Prata and Silva (2013), the rotating shift workers showed less satisfaction with work schedule and would prefer to change work schedule, if such a change did not imply changes in the salary. In contrast, the morning shift has been associated with greater satisfaction with the work schedule (Korompeli et al, 2009;Ferreira and Silva, 2013).…”

Impactos Na Vida Social E Familiar Do Trabalho Por Turnos Na Perspectiva Dos Familiares

“…The investigation into the impacts of shift work has privileged health impacts (e.g., Oliveira & Pereira, 2012) without paying adequate attention to workers' family and social lives (e.g. Ferreira & Silva, 2013).…”
