Abstract(s)
As últimas décadas foram sinónimo de mudança, mudança a nível social e laboral. Estas mudanças afetaram as duas esferas mais significativas dos indivíduos, a familiar e a laboral. No entanto, a dificuldade em conciliar os papéis e exigências associados a ambas esferas se mantém, aumentando o conflito família-trabalho e trabalho-família. As experiências de recuperação e o posterior ajustamento ao trabalho após um período de férias irão ser afetados consoante a conciliação das exigências laborais e familiares, tal como o bem-estar dos indivíduos. Com uma amostra de 202 participantes, 62 homens e 140 mulheres, com idades compreendidas entre os 19 e os 68 anos (M=44.74; DP=10.737), este estudo de caráter quantitativo tem por objetivos observar: (1) a influência das exigências laborais e domésticas nas estratégias de recuperação e de que forma o conflito trabalho-família e família-trabalho medeia essa relação, (2) a influência das estratégias de recuperação no posterior ajustamento ao trabalho após as férias e no bem-estar dos colaboradores e, por último (3) se existem diferenças de acordo com o género. Os resultados mostraram que as exigências laborais e domésticas afetam tanto o conflito trabalho-família como as estratégias de recuperação. O conflito trabalho-família e família-trabalho foi considerado mediador da relação entre as exigências e as estratégias de recuperação, denotando-se a importância de geri-lo para atenuar os seus efeitos. Foi também concluído que uma boa recuperação influencia de forma positiva o ajustamento ao trabalho e o bem-estar dos colaboradores. Apenas foram registadas diferenças entre géneros no que toca às exigências domésticas, sendo que as mulheres apresentam médias mais altas. Estes resultados reforçam a necessidade de políticas organizacionais que promovam o equilíbrio entre as esferas familiar e laboral, visando melhorar tanto o bem-estar como o desempenho profissional.
This last few decades represented change, change at a social and labor level. These changes affected the two most significant spheres of individuals, family and work. However, the difficulty in reconciling the roles and demands associated with both spheres remains, increasing family-work and work-family conflict. Recovery experiences and subsequent adjustment to work after a period of vacation will be affected depending on the reconciliation of work and family demands, as well as the well-being of individuals. With a sample of 202 participants, 62 men and 140 women, aged between 19 and 68 years old (M=44.74; SD=10.737) this quantitative study aims to observe: (1) the influence of work and domestic demands on recovery strategies and how work-family and family-work conflict mediate this relation, (2) the influence of recovery strategies in the subsequent adjustment to work after vacation and in the well-being of employees and, finally (3) whether there are differences according to gender. The results showed that work and home demands affect both work-family conflict and recovery strategies. Work-family and family-work conflict were considered mediators of the relationship between demands and recovery strategies, highlighting the importance of managing it to mitigate its effects. It was also concluded that a good recovery positively influences the adjustment to work and the well-being of employees. Differences between genders were only recorded in terms of domestic demands, with women having higher means. These results reinforce the need for organizational policies that promote the balance between work and family spheres, aiming to improve both well-being and professional performance.
