| Resumo: | The changes in the labor market lead to an increasing rate of production and competitiveness;
because of that, workers adopt a more sedentary lifestyle, which along with other reasons,
results in a growth of the number of workers affected by diseases worldwide. Among the most
frequent illnesses are mental and behavioral disorders, musculoskeletal and connective tissue
diseases, as well as back pain, which may have as consequences the need for leaving work
and retiring early. This finding has become one of the main reasons for the growing interest
by the organizations in the workers’ health. One of the implications of this matter is the
significant expansion of investments in Programs of Quality of Life at Work, since the
diseases are usually related to the work environment. In accordance with that information, the
Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte has implemented its Program of Quality of Life at
Work, entitled “Viver em Harmonia”, which focuses on verifying the perception of workers
about the activities offered in the program. The individual experiences of workers with the
program are taken as basis for this study. It is a descriptive and qualitative study, theoretically
based on the ergonomics of the activity applied to the quality of life at work. In order to
promote the information on the subject, a documentary analysis of the establishment and the
program was performed, additionally 32 semistructured interviews were carried out with
coordinators and participants of the activities of the program. The data found was treated by
categorical content analysis in the light of the ergonomics literature and of the ergonomics of
the activity studies applied to the quality of life at work. Overall, the program was satisfactory
in spite of low adherence and divulgence, and the lack of activities related to work situations.
Aiming to solve these problems and to contribute to a better development of the program,
suggestions were collected from the main actors of Programs of Quality of Life at Work, i.e.,
the workers of the institution. If implemented, these suggestions may contribute to the
progress of the “Viver em Harmonia” program and therefore may contribute to improving the
quality of life at work, which is the ultimate purpose of the program. In conclusion, the study
indicated that there are several challenges to be overcome and strategies to be reconsidered by
the directors and managers responsible for planning and implementing a course of action in
quality of life at work at Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. |
