Satisfação no Trabalho dos Policiais Militares do Rio Grande do Sul: um Estudo Quantitativo

espanolResumen La satisfaccion en el trabajo puede ser entendida como el vinculo emocional del individuo con su entorno de trabajo (Smith, 2008). La profesion de policia militar se considera de alto riesgo porque tiene que ver constantemente con la violencia, la brutalidad y la muerte (Costa, Accioly, Oliveira & Maia, 2007). Teniendo en cuenta este contexto, el presente estudio fue desarrollado para identificar el grado de satisfaccion en el trabajo de los policias militares de Rio Grande do Sul. Se realizo una investigacion descriptiva, tipo encuesta, con un enfoque cuantitativo. Los participantes del estudio fueron 519 policias militares pertenecientes a cuarteles de ciudades ubicadas en el estado de Rio Grande do Sul. La Escala de Satisfaccion en el Trabajo (EST) de Siqueira (2008) fue utilizada como herramienta de investigacion. En general, se identifico que los policias tienden a indicar insatisfaccion con el trabajo. Entre las dimensiones que conforman la EST, las que tienden a indicar insatisfaccion son el salario (media: 2,79) y los ascensos (media: 3,03); las que tienden a indicar indiferencia (ni satisfecho ni insatisfecho) son la jefatura (media: 4,42) y la naturaleza del trabajo (media: 4,37); y, finalmente, la que tiende a indicar satisfaccion es respecto a los colegas (media: 5,00). Se espera que esta evidencia contribuya a futuras decisiones organizacionales que tengan un impacto en la salud de los policias militares y en la consiguiente calidad de vida, del equipo y de sus familiares. EnglishAbstract Job Satisfaction can be understood as the emotional bond of individuals with their work environment (Siqueira, 2008). The military police profession is considered a high risk one because military policemen constantly deal with violence, brutality and death (Costa, Accioly, Oliveira & Maia, 2007). Given this context, this study was developed to identify Rio Grande do Sul military policemen’s degree of satisfaction in their work. We conducted a descriptive research, survey type, with a quantitative approach. 519 military police belonging to cities barracks located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul participated. Siqueira’s (2008) Satisfaction Scale at Work (EST) was used as a research tool. Overall, it was identified that policemen tend to signal dissatisfaction with work. Among the dimensions that make up the EST, they tend to signal dissatisfaction with salary (mean: 2.79) and promotions (mean: 3.03); indifference (neither satisfied nor dissatisfied) in relation to leadership (mean: 4.42) and the nature of work (mean: 4.37); and finally, they tend to signal satisfaction with colleagues (mean: 5.00). We hope that this evidence contributes to future organizational decisions involving a better health of the military policemen and, subsequently, a better quality of life, for both the team and their families. portuguesResumo Satisfacao no Trabalho pode ser entendida como o vinculo afetivo do individuo com seu ambiente laboral.
