“…These results confirm the findings by Barbutto Jr. et al (2004) in which the main source of motivation among American rural workers was what the authors called self-concept, that is, these professionals would be more motivated by procedures that reinforced their personal competence standards, enabling selfrealization in the work. Similar findings were reported by Tang (2007), who suggested that quality of life was more related to satisfaction with the work itself than with the wages and that the workers needed something in addition to better salaries for them being effectively motivated.…”

-The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of factors of personal life and work conditions on the results obtained by inseminators in conventional and fixed-timed artificial insemination programs in beef cattle.Inseminators from three farms (21 in the total) were interviewed and evaluated according to the general obtained pregnancy rates. The differences among the pregnancy rates obtained in the farms, motivation and its association with the obtained pregnancy rate and the effect of each variable of the groups of needs on the pregnancy rate at first insemination were evaluated.The open questions were grouped by similarity and then analyzed by frequency of the answers. Pregnancy rates obtained by the inseminators ranged from 12 to 57%, with a mean service index of 3.10 ± 1.62 doses/pregnancy. It was also observed that the satisfaction of biological, financial, and training needs was more intimately related to the pregnancy rate than the satisfaction of the other needs, although none had shown an antagonistic relationship with it. Factors concerned to life quality and to the work can be important in determining the performance of these professionals.Key Words: human resources management, job satisfaction Impacto da qualidade de vida dos inseminadores nos resultados de programas de inseminação artificial em bovinos de corte RESUMO -Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito de fatores ligados à vida pessoal e ao trabalho sobre os resultados obtidos por inseminadores em programas de inseminação artificial convencional e em tempo fixo em bovinos de corte. Inseminadores de três propriedades rurais (21 no total) foram entrevistados e avaliados quanto à taxa de gestação geral obtida. Foram avaliadas as diferenças entre as taxas de gestação obtidas nas fazendas, a motivação e sua associação com a taxa de gestação obtida e o efeito de cada variável dos grupos de necessidades sobre a taxa de gestação à primeira inseminação. As questões abertas, depois de agrupadas por similaridade, foram analisadas por frequência de respostas. A taxa de gestação obtida pelos inseminadores variou entre 12 e 57%, com índice de serviço de 3,10 ± 1,62 doses/prenhez. A satisfação das necessidades biológicas, financeiras e de treinamento foi mais intimamente relacionada à taxa de gestação que a satisfação das demais necessidades, embora nenhuma delas tenha apresentado relação antagônica com a taxa de gestação. Fatores ligados à qualidade de vida e ao trabalho podem ser importantes na determinação do desempenho dos inseminadores.Palavras-chave: gestão de recursos humanos, satisfação no trabalho Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia

“…The attribution of a bonus is a stimulus, conditioning that can lead the individual to have greater motivation to accomplish something. However, according to Barbuto et al (2004) for agriculture workers, when money is given as a motivational tool, it gives no more incentive than fun, reputation, or purpose [40]. Thus, the allocation of financial bonuses may lose the motivational aspect, and over time, employees consider this financial reward as an obligation of the company [41].…”

In dairy farms, the human-animal interaction is intense, especially with baby calves and the animal's response is linked to the handler's behaviour. Considering that attitude of calves’ handlers can improve animal performance, this study aimed to characterize it in order to understand important gaps. One hundred handlers of commercial dairy farms located in Minas Gerais, São Paulo, and Parana were interviewed. The interview was conducted based on a semi-structured questionnaire applied by only one interviewer and directed to calves’ handlers. The questionnaire was developed to collect data attitude of self-reports from people responsible for handling calves. Pearson's correlation between the cognitive, affective and behavioural components of the attitude of calves’ handlers and the performance of calves during the milkpreweaning were very low. Nearly seven of ten respondents had a positive attitude about the statement "care with the prepartum cow may impact calf’s performance preweaning". For 55% of the handlers, calves should receive more than two liters of colostrum in the first meal; however, for 39% of them, the volume should be higher. Only 28% of handlers disagree that a newborn calf should ingest colostrum directly from the dam. Almost six in ten handlers agree that a calf should be fed with dam’s colostrum. Three in ten respondents do not agree with the statement "In the future, I would like to work in another sector". More than half (52%) agree that they know how to raise calves, with higher percentage observed for the largest farm’s handlers. For some variables, the handler has a positive attitude, but in practice, the behaviour performed is not always the same. The behaviour of the calf’s handler may have positive affective and cognitive components. All the handlers knew how to handle the animals or at least knew the importance of the main actions in dairy calves handling. However, the behavioural component is based on actions, differing attitude from behaviour. There is a strong need of training calves’ handlers so their attitude and behaviour may be modulated to improve the efficiency of raising dairy calves.

“…This motivation is related to the needs that can be met if they are group members. A motivational theory such as McClelland's theory of need (Barbutto et al, 2004) suggests that there is a very strong link between motivation and need, namely the motivation of a person to be awakened from the need he feels. Transmigrants as new residents at transmigration sites and as social communities basically have a group awareness.…”
