RESUMO
Vários estudos têm apontado associações entre a satisfação com o trabalho e a satisfação com a vida (Ferreira et al.,
2009). Embora menos estudados, também o sucesso profissional e a longevidade laboral se revelam cruciais neste âmbito
(Herr et al., 2004; Lyubormsky et al., 2005). Procurou-se neste estudo, explorar a relação entre variáveis do bem-estar
subjetivo (satisfação com a vida, afetividade positiva e negativa) e dimensões do domínio do trabalho (longevidade laboral,
sucesso profissional e satisfação com o trabalho).Participaram 633 adultos de várias regiões do país (idade, 36.4±9.94) e
de ambos os sexos (71%F e 29%M). Para além do questionário de caracterização sociodemográfica e ocupacional (satisfação,
sucesso e longevidade laborais), foram aplicados instrumentos de bem-estar subjetivo (BES): Escala de Satisfação
com a Vida (SV) de Simões (1992) e Escalas de Afetividade Positiva (AP) e Afetividade Negativa (AN) de Simões (1993).
Realizaram-se análises descritivas e inferenciais (Pearson, p ≤.05).Verificaram-se correlações estatisticamente significativas
entre as variáveis de BES. Também as dimensões laborais se revelaram estatisticamente correlacionadas entre si
(exceto a satisfação com a longevidade). Encontraram-se associações estatisticamente significativas (p≤.01) entre: longevidade
laboral e AN (r=.11); sucesso e SV (r=.30), também AP (r=.27) e AN (r=-.21); satisfação com o trabalho e SV (r=.41),
também AP (r=.24) e AN (r=-.28). Vários autores confirmam estes resultados sobretudo relativamente à satisfação com o
trabalho, entendida enquanto dimensão da satisfação com a vida (e.g. Robert et al., 2006). Revela-se fundamental alargar
esta análise a outras dimensões com impacto no bem-estar dos trabalhadores, como o sucesso e a longevidade laborais.
Atendendo à centralidade do trabalho na vida (que se pretende feliz) dos indivíduos, parece-nos crucial repensar a intervenção
psicossocial nas organizações promovendo os aspetos positivos do funcionamento humano.
ABSTRACT Several studies reveal associations between job and life satisfaction (Ferreira et al., 2009). Although less studied, also professional success and job longevity are crucial in this area (Herr et al., 2004; Lyubormsky et al., 2005). This study aims to explore the relationship between variables of subjective well-being (life satisfaction, positive and negative affectivity) and work dimensions (job longevity, success and satisfaction). 633 adults from different regions of the country (age, 36.4±9.94; 71% female and 29% male) participated in the study. Instruments included a socio-demographic and occupational (job satisfaction, success and longevity) questionnaire and subjective well-being (SWB) scales adapted to Portuguese population, such as Satisfaction With Life (SWL) Scale (Simões, 1992) and Positive (PA) and Negative Affect (NA) Scales (Simões, 1993). Descriptive and inferential (Pearson, p≤.05) analysis were conducted. There were statistically significant correlations between the variables of SWB. Also the work dimensions were statistically correlated (except job satisfaction with job longevity). We found statistically significant associations (p≤.01) between: job longevity and NA (r = .11); job success and SWL (r = .30), also PA (r = .27) and NA (r = - 21.); job satisfaction and SWL (r = .41), also PA (r = .24) and NA (r = -. 28). Many authors confirm these results particularly in job satisfaction, understood as a dimension of life satisfaction (e.g. Roberts et al., 2006). It seems crucial to extend this analysis to other work dimensions such as job success and longevity that have effect on workers subjective well-being. Given the centrality of work in our (happy) lives, it’s important to rethink psychosocial intervention in organizations, promoting the positive aspects of human functioning.
