The literature has shed light on the influence of macro-social contexts on the meanings of work and money. Bearing in mind the impact of changes in the economic cycles in the construction sector in Brazil, our aim is to compare the meanings of work and money, as understood by building construction workers in 2011 and 2015. The sample was composed of two groups, being 302 participants in 2011, and 125 in 2015. We used structured surveys specific to each issue studied, and carried out descriptive and inferential analyses. The results outline differences in the concept of work and money, providing evidence of the negative effects of the economic crisis on workers' lives. Limitations and suggestions for further research are pointed out.

Compreender as raízes e o contexto em que é gerada e reproduzida a discriminação da categoria dos serventes na construção civil, bem como suas implicações psicossociais. Esse foi o objetivo norteador de uma investigação desenvolvida através de um estudo de caso, cujos resultados e análises dão corpo ao presente artigo. O trabalho se inscreve nas chamadas Clínicas do Trabalho, na perspectiva da psicossociologia do trabalho. Tomou-se como campo do estudo uma empresa privada de pequeno porte do ramo da construção civil, situada na Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte, MG. A pesquisa foi dividida em três etapas: (a) estudos preliminares; (b) observações ergonômicas e entrevistas; e (c) análise das entrevistas e estruturação do texto. Constatou-se uma marcante contradição entre os discursos dirigidos ao servente quando falam de sua atividade a partir do senso comum e aqueles que partem da vivência e da análise do trabalho real desses profissionais. Além disso, revelou-se que a condição de servente encarna um conjunto de características assimiladas como negativas, que dificultam a formação de uma autoimagem e de uma identidade positivas por parte daqueles que são por ela marcados. Identificou-se também que a discriminação da categoria exerce importante função política (controle social) através do enfraquecimento ou mesmo anulação da coesão e organização coletivas. O estudo denuncia a coexistência dos mais sofisticados mecanismos de produção e a sujeição de seres humanos a relações/situações de vida e trabalho humilhantes e/ou degradantes, contradição classificada como ética e moralmente insustentável. Ele sugere ainda que a negligência de investimentos focados no desenvolvimento humano, no contexto de trabalho, mostra-se contraproducente, mesmo que sob a lógica do lucro. Finalmente, as considerações apontam para a necessidade de criação de outro conceito de trabalho em nossas sociedades.Palavras-chave: Serventes, Construção civil, Discriminação, Clínicas do trabalho. The servant condition in constructionTo understand the roots and the context in which discrimination at servants (attendant laborers) in construction is generated and reproduced, as well as their psychosocial implications. This was the guiding objective of a research developed through a case study. It's results and analysis embodies the present article. The work fits in the so-called Clinics of Labor, at the labor psychosociology perspective. The field of study was a small private company in the business of construction, situated in the metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The research was divided into three stages: (a) preliminary studies, (b) ergonomic observations and interviews and (c) categorization of verbalization and structuring of the text. It was found a striking contradiction between the discourse addressed to the servant when speaking of his activity from the common sense and the speeches that come from analysis of the actual work of these professionals. Besides that, it was revealed that the condition embodies a ...
