STRESS AT WORK: A STUDY WITH PUBLIC MANAGERS OF STATE OF MINAS GERAIS

The objective of this study was to analyze stress during job in public managers who work in secretariats of state of Minas Gerais. The theoretical basis related to occupational stress was based on Zille (2005), Chanlat (2005), Cooper et al. (2002, 1988), Couto (1987) and Selye (1959). Regarding management, drew on OCDE (2010), Bresser-Pereira (2009), Madureira e Rodrigues (2006) e Davel e Melo (2005); Rezende (2002) and Marini (2002). This work can be classified as a descriptive study with a quantitative approach. The Theoretical Model for Explanation of Occupational Stress in Managers (MTEG) developed by Zille (2005), was the main reference. With this approach, 181 managers from secretariats of state of Minas Gerais were analyzed. The softwares Excel and SPSS - Statistical Package for the Social Sciences were used for data analysis. The results evidenced that 26.0% of the surveyed managers had no occupational stress; 26.0% had light to moderate stress levels; 43.0% intense stress; and 5.0% very intense stress level. The main sources of excessive tension existing in the work environment, the regulatory mechanisms used by most state public managers to face the tensioning situations and indicators of stress impact on the productivity of the managers were identified. This study was proven to be appropriate since there are studies on occupational stress on managers from private enterprise, but little is known about the impact of administrative reforms in the public service on the occupational health of the public managers.

TRABALHO E QUALIDADE DE VIDA EM USINAS DE TRIAGEM E COMPOSTAGEM DE RESÍDUOS URBANOS

Com implantacao popularizada no Brasil nos anos 90, as Usinas de Triagem e Compostagem – UTC tem sido consideradas uma opcao para a destinacao adequada dos residuos solidos urbanos, especialmente em municipios de pequeno porte. No entanto, o fator humano tem sido negligenciado, ja que essas unidades nao privilegiam os individuos que nela trabalham, lidando diretamente com os residuos. O objetivo do presente trabalho e realizar uma analise critica da realidade do trabalho nas UTC, partindo do referencial teorico sobre trabalho e QVT. Consideraram-se ainda as constatacoes observadas na literatura e na pratica de acompanhamento dessas unidades em Minas Gerais. Percebe-se que nas UTC ha o rompimento com as propriedades que o trabalho deve apresentar para corresponder as motivacoes intrinsecas e extrinsecas dos trabalhadores, contribuindo negativamente para a melhoria da QVT. Alem disso, a situacao de exposicao dos trabalhadores ao ambiente insalubre e o descontentamento com a funcao sao elementos que contribuem para o funcionamento ineficiente das UTC.
