Desvio de conduta: um estudo exploratório sobre atitudes antiéticas de empregados do setor industrial

A ética, nos dias de hoje, ocupa um lugar primordial no campo organizacional, como também em toda a sociedade. A primeira metade do século XX se caracterizou, de certa forma, por um período em que predominou a abordagem mecanicista. A máquina, como foco de atenções, parecia se sobrepor ao ser humano. Na segunda metade do século XX o empregado passou a ser valorizado enquanto pessoa. Isso fortaleceu a abordagem psico-sociológica. Uma das questões que se coloca é: como as organizações podem transcender a mera produção de bens e serviços e a geração de valor econômico, e como harmonizar os interesses das empresas, da sociedade e das pessoas? A resposta a esses questionamentos passa por se considerar, de maneira incisiva, o homem no ambiente profissional, sua postura ética, e os fatores que dominam a sua relação com a empresa que o emprega. Esta tese tem como objetivos proporcionar uma visão da problemática do desvio de conduta na organização, mostrar quais são os seus fatores determinantes, e de que maneira tais fatores operam na incidência do desvio de conduta. O espaço de análise considerado foram empresas industriais localizadas na região do Médio Vale do Paraíba, no Estado de São Paulo. Utilizou-se a pesquisa bibliográfica como fonte de embasamento teórico-conceitual e um estudo exploratório, com abordagens qualitativa e quantitativa. A análise qualitativa indicou, como resultado, os fatores determinantes do desvio de conduta. A análise quantitativa forneceu um modelo estatístico que descreve a relação entre os fatores determinantes e a incidência do desvio. O modelo obtido, submetido a validação, foi considerado útil para previsão do desvio de conduta. Concluiu-se que é necessário um processo de planejamento que envolva todos os atores sociais, com base em princípios éticos aplicados à formação de códigos de conduta, voltados a incentivar o desenvolvimento dos valores de caráter. Palavras-chave: Desvio de conduta, ética organizacional, códigos de conduta, fatores determinantes do desvio de conduta.

Formação profissional e a produtividade no sector hoteleiro: um problema para o desenvolvimento sustentável da Madeira

Esta dissertação tem por objectivo avaliar o impacto da formação na produtividade do sector hoteleiro da Madeira e no valor acrescentado bruto (VAB) regional. Para tal, foram realizadas duas análises. Primeiro foram utilizados dados microeconómicos de um conjunto representativo de empresas do sector hoteleiro da Madeira, com o objectivo de avaliar o impacto da formação na produtividade do sector hoteleiro regional. Os dados foram obtidos através de entrevistas individuais aos directores de pessoal de 42 empresas do sector hoteleiro, realizadas em Outubro de 2001 e Outubro de 2004 na região da Madeira. Solicitou-se informação anual sobre a formação promovida aos trabalhadores e que avaliasse em que medida essa formação teve impacto num conjunto de variáveis associadas à produtividade, tais como, qualidade do produto, produtos inovadores, quota de mercado, crescimento dos salários, entre outras. Deste modo foi possível obter dados para o período de 1998-2003. Em segundo utilizou-se dados macroeconómicos para analisar a relação entre o investimento na formação e o valor acrescentado bruto na Madeira. As conclusões desta dissertação são basicamente duas. Primeiro, a formação no sector hoteleiro da Madeira tem um impacto positivo e significativo na produtividade dos trabalhadores. O efeito estimado é de 36%. Observou-se ainda, que a produtividade das empresas que promovem formação aos seus trabalhadores é superior à das empresas que não promovem formação. A segunda conclusão é que existe uma relação positiva entre o investimento na formação e o valor acrescentado bruto quer no sector hoteleiro madeirense quer na economia regional. Os resultados indicam que um aumento de 100.000 horas de formação irá aumentar o valor acrescentado do sector hoteleiro regional em 7,2% e o valor acrescentado da região em 1,5%.

Ética e espiritualidade: contributos para o exercício competente da liderança e eficácia das organizações educativas

A vivência da pós-modernidade, caracterizada por imprevisibilidades, descontinuidade e ritmo acelerado, tem conduzido o homem globalizado a sentimentos de desajustamento e inadequação permanentes com repercussões a nível existencial. Perante um espaço e tempo histórico onde impera um individualismo narcísico próprio de uma sociedade consumista, egoísta e alheia à noção de Bem Comum, assiste-se a um (re)pensar e (re)valorizar as questões da ética e da espiritualidade que, em oposição às noções de produtividade e competitividade, emergem como garante de uma acção humana que se pretende autêntica e, por isso mesmo, eficaz e repleta de sentido e significação. Tratando-se de uma temática profundamente rica e abrangente, assistida por um crescendo inegável do interesse da comunidade científica nacional e internacional, o presente trabalho investigativo pretende assumir-se como um contributo efectivo para a compreensão das representações que têm as lideranças escolares acerca da ética e da espiritualidade e das relações/implicações que essas mesmas representações assumem no exercício da liderança competente e na eficácia das organizações educativas. A pertinência do estudo, de natureza qualitativa, decorre do facto de as organizações educativas serem organizações que traduzem valores, estarem organizadas em torno de valores e terem como finalidade última a educação para os valores. Os resultados apresentados sugerem que as representações da ética e da espiritualidade das lideranças educativas são condicionadas pelas crenças pessoais; que as lideranças educativas, em contexto organizacional, regem as suas acções de forma consistente mediante um conjunto de princípios assumidamente pessoais e que esta sua forma de actuar contribui para o estabelecimento de relações positivas no trabalho com os liderados que, desta forma, se sentem envolvidos no atingir dos objectivos organizacionais, melhorando o seu empenho e aumentando a sua produtividade.

Desmame em recém-nascidos de muito baixo peso ao nascer no primeiro retorno ambulatorial após a alta hospitalar

Investigate intrahospital and neonatal determinants associated to the weaning of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Methods: 119 VLBW (<1500g) infants 81 were monitored from July 2005 through August 2006, from birth to the first ambulatory visit after maternity discharge. This maternity unit uses the Kangaroo Method and the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative. Results: Out of 119 VLBW infants monitored until discharge, 88 (75%) returned to the facility, 22 (25%) were on exclusive breastfeeding (EB) and 66 (75%) were weaned (partial breastfeeding or formula feeding). Univariate analysis found an association between weaning and lower birth weight, longer stays in the NICU and longer hospitalization times, in addition to more prolonged enteral feeding and birth weight recovery period. Logistic regression showed length of NICU stay as being the main determinant of weaning. Conclusion: The negative repercussion on EB of an extended stay in the NICU is a significant challenge for health professionals to provide more adequate nutrition to VLBW infants

A (bio)ética e a Odontologia: os (des)caminhos de uma formação humana

The present research carried out from three national dentistry magazines published in the period between 1990 and 2004, has as a goal to analyze how bioethics has been approached in this area, not only identifying the main concerns and tendencies, but also aiming to learn how this knowledge is produced and divulged in the dentistry circuit. We have articulated a quantitative-qualitative approach, studying 2995 articles. The articles were selected and assorted in twenty thematic categories, through their titles and key words. The analysis of the empiric material shows that, although there is a growth tendency of this discussion, little has been published about this theme (1,9%). Besides, it seems that there is an arrhythmia between the present bioethic approach in dentistry and the present life demands, where the deontology and legalist focuses are predominant, seeming to correspond to the inner aspects of the profession alone. In spite of this, through the qualitative approach it was possible to identify ways to build a more complex and integral odontological formation and practice. Within the conclusions, we still point out, that, this investigation, even face to its limitations, seems to offer subsidies for reflection and further studies about the theme, working as a parameter to keep up with the evolution of the bioethic thinking in the Odontology

Atuação dos profissionais de saúde no atendimento à criança vítima de violência

Its objectives were the evaluation of how health professionals diagnose violence on the hospitalized child during the care process; the identification, according to the experience of each health professional, of the types of violence on the hospitalized child, the child's aggressors and the most frequent1y injured area in the body and the analysis of conducts adopted by health professionals upon the recognition of a violence case on a hospitalized child. The study was of the descriptive-exploratory type, using a quantitative approach, performed on Hospital da Criança Santo Antônio (HCSA) in Boa Vista - RR. The population consisted of 235 health professionals, with data collected from June to August 2006. The results show a clear predominance of the female gender, (76,17%); aged 31 to 35 (26,81%); married (45,96%). As for professional formation, 63,9% were nursing auxiliaries and technicians,16,2% physicians, 14,8% nurses, 3,9% social assistants and 2,1% psychologists; 45,96% had completed middle-level education, 51,06% of which coming from private education establishments and 48,94% from public education institutions.; 97,66 % have specialization or improvement courses on their area; 32,77% among 05 to 09 years of work time; 32,06(10 worked on pediatric infirmaries; 75,74% state they have experience with children victimized by violence; 96,22% consider themselves capable of identifying the types of violence suffered by children; 29,00% consider physical violence the most common kind; 91,57% sought to identify the aggressors; 27,72% consider the mother to be the child's main aggressor, 26,36% the father, and 22,28% the stepfather; 26,55% consider the limbs and pelvic waist to be the body region most affected by violence; 26,91% take the attitude of reporting to the nurse and 20,13% to the social service; 70,79% state that the conducts were performed as a team; 26,25% of the professionals consider that the social assistants helped the most on deciding which conduct to adopt; 76,40% state there was no one opposed to the performing of these conducts; but 23,60% that stated there was no one opposed to the performing of these conducts, 77,08% reveal that the family members were against the conducts taken by the team. We conclude that, the hea1th professionals who were part of the study, apparently are not adequate prepared to diagnose and report the violence on child. The results were more drastic when we related the physicians and the nurses' answers, considering that they give directed assistance to these victims social assistants and psychologists are the ones best prepared to conduct cases of child mistreatment. However, we are conscious of our responsibility with professional education not only in upper grade institution but also on the middle-level. We believe also, that a continued education program can help to improve the professional knowledge and improve the quality of care

Serviço Social e terceiro setor: considerações sobre as atuais relações e condições de trabalho para o Assistente Social em Natal

The present study analyses the actual relations and work conditions found in the third sector in Natal city, in the context of productive restoration and increasingly retraction from the State in providing Social Service before the new approach that has been destined to the social issue. The study talks about the work of the social worker when fighting the different expressions the social issue has, such as social service provision as a way of teamwork associated to work relations and conditions, to accessible resources and quality control management. These are elements that affect and interfere in the accomplishment and in the work of the social worker itself. The State s improvement, according to neoliberal-political precepts and increasingly retraction from the public investment in the areas of social concern (health, social welfare, assistance) and in the wage and employment policy, besides expanding the partnership with the public and private areas, in search for social services with quality, it has diversified the structures of the professional work with the growth of the so called third sector institutions. However, the absorption of the social workers by the third sector groups in general, has as major features the impoverishment of work relations, the maintenance of an unequal salary model, pointing out the deadline contracts and/or single tasks that generate work instability. The research debates, with a critical view and full perspective, over the conception of the third sector, interpreted as an action that expresses functions and values, treated as a real phenomenon generated from the restoration of the capital based on neoliberal principles. This study aims for responding what the established work relations are and under what work conditions the social worker has been fitting in the third sector and how such a reality echoes in the current work conditions for a social work in the city of Natal, before this new model of state intervention that transfers part of the social service provision to distinctive divisions of society, among them the so called third sector. The research results have shown that like the other workers the social worker passes through the same crises, dilemmas, advances and challenges that occur in the world of employment and which are expressed in the drop of salary average in the growth of contemporary contracts, unemployment, and in the ever more selective requirements to one be included in the social spaces, where the professional work is done, having as a result a greater impoverishment of work relations and conditions as well as more vulnerability as a salaried occupation
