Mulheres em cargos de gestão: fatores psicossociais e bem-estar

Abstract

The theme of this work addresses the psychosocial factors that affect the well-being of women in management positions in organizations. Within the organizational context, the manager is responsible for planning, execution and leadership, both strategic and human. Excessive demands and restricted time to perform each task without proper support can increase stress levels and cause well-being to be left aside at some of these stages. Women suffer more than men from the stress of their careers, as they still need to take care of domestic chores, which are still considered feminine. Throughout history, women have been subjected to men and seen on the margins of society simply because they are women. This condition has always accompanied her, and the influence of this circumstance on work relationships is undeniable. The general objective of this study is to identify possible psychosocial factors that affect the well-being of women in management positions. The specific objectives are: to present psychosocial factors at work, characterize well-being at work and conceptualize what management and female management are. The literature review consists of psychosocial factors at work, well-being at work, management and female management. The method was designed as a qualitative research, using exploratory and interpretative approaches. As sources, a cultural artifact taken from the Disney Plus platform ?Stars Beyond Time? was used, from which 8 scenes were chosen, organized in a table. As an instrument, a data collection form was used to catalog the scenes; finally, as an analysis reference, Laville and Dionne's Content Analysis was used, based on the pairing technique as a data interpretation strategy, using the model closed of categorization. Through the construction of this research work, the importance of the organizational psychologist and the work of collaborating to reduce negative stereotypes related to the work context, such as discrimination and promoting the development of the potentials and abilities of working individuals and the protective factors of the individual worker were evidenced that the work environment is favorable for the search for fulfillment and development and is not the reason for illness. It is worth highlighting the importance of the debate regarding diversity in professional demand and the barriers of gender and race/ethnicity imposed by organizations to the desired job.
