Estes resultados são piores do que os apresentados por trabalhadores de setores da indústria 4 , da saúde 10,22 , do vestuário 23 e da educação 24 .Em sentido amplo a capacidade para o trabalho é entendida como todas as capacidades necessárias à execução de um determinado tipo de trabalho e, em um sentido restrito, expressa aptidão para o trabalho. Na prática representam combinações entre recursos humanos em relação às demandas físicas, mentais e sociais do trabalho, cultura organizacional e ambiente de trabalho 11 .…”
