Trabalho imaterial bancário, lazer e a vivência de dilemas pessoais contemporâneos

Abstract

Este artigo busca compreender a interação do trabalho imaterial com o lazer nos modos de trabalhar e de viver de bancários inseridos em um Banco Múltiplo Privado; pondera-se também se tal interação se configura em dilemas pessoais contemporâneos. O estudo, de caráter exploratório, contou com a participação de 15 sujeitos que foram entrevistados em seus locais de trabalho. A análise de conteúdo se deu à luz do referencial teórico sobre trabalho imaterial bancário, lazer e dilemas pessoais contemporâneos, tendo como suporte autores como Bauman (2007), Castells (2000), Dumazedier (2008), Dejours (2008) e Gaulejac (2007). Os resultados indicam que o trabalho imaterial bancário interfere no lazer dos bancários; pode até mesmo impedi-lo, desencadeando vivências de dilemas pessoais, uma vez que constantemente suas escolhas relativas ao dever e ao lazer não encontram alternativas satisfatórias. Se optam pelo lazer, preservam as relações familiares, mas sofrem o desprezo dos colegas; se optam pelo trabalho, preservam as relações de coleguismo, mas sofrem as reclamações da família, por exemplo.

Between Reward and Suffering: The Bank Workers' View of the Flexibility Discourse

“…The results obtained from our survey were analyzed in accordance with the studies of Bauman (2001), Gaulejac (2007), Sennet (2008), Faria (2009), Weber and Grisci (2011) and Andrade, Estivalete and Gomes (2013) on the role of flexibility within the context of the crisis being faced by capitalist management systems. The question of political-ideological control in the management of people was approached from the perspective found in the works of Enriquez (2006), Pagès, Bonetti, Gaulejac, & Descendre (2008) and Siqueira (2009).…”

“…Pinheiro et al (2013), in their research, showed that, given the characteristics of banking activities, which require a high level of emotional control, commitment to responsibilities and evaluation through targets, these particular workers are more likely to be subject to pathologies of a physical or mental nature. Weber and Grisci (2011), in their research, also noted that the work carried out by bank workers is stressful, largely because of the pace of the work, the pressure and the constant demands of sales targets.…”

“…Weber and Grisci (2011), in their research, stress that family members and friends perceive and regularly complain about the constant absence of and the pressure exerted on bank employees. In addition to tensions at work, there are also the demands of these workers' personal lives, especially when the time that should be allocated to family and other activities, such as hobbies and fitness, becomes scarce.…”

Carreiras vulneráveis: uma análise das demissões da mídia como um ponto de inflexão para jornalistas

“…The results of this research lead to an approximation with the banking industry (more thoroughly studied), which underwent broad restructuring, including technologically. Organizational downsizing , instability, and insecurity, along with the emphasis on urgency and efficacy, led to work precariousness and practices that generate suffering, helplessness, and health issues among bank officers (LINHARES and SIQUEIRA, 2014;NASCIMENTO, DAMASCENO and NEVES, 2016;WEBER and GRISCI, 2011).…”

“…The introduction of digital technologies in journalism led to the "optimization of time and work" (FONSECA and KUHN, 2009, p. 58). Production was re-structured based on work intensification, with task overload , extinction of roles and dismissal of workers that did not adapt to the demand to become multitask workers (LOPES, 2011) -similarly to what happened to bank employees (WEBER and GRISCI, 2011;NASCIMENTO, DAMASCENO and NEVES, 2016). The number of formal job positions decreased, and new possibilities of unstable, precarious and unregulated jobs grew in the journalism job market (FIGARO, 2013).…”
