Análise das relações entre a qualidade de vida e qualidade de vida no trabalho no setor de confecção: um levantamento em empresas do APL de Maringá/Cianorte - PR

Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze the relationships between the domains of the QV and general QVT and between the criteria of QWL and overall QOL, using a logistic regression model with employees of APL clothing in Maringá/Cianorte - PR. On the theoretical referential discussed were related to the following themes: quality of life, quality of work life, APL (Local Productive Arrangement) and statistical reasoning. The method used in the research was the inductive one, and the methodological approach applied, quantitative, descriptive exploratory and collecting data. For the data collection two questionnaires had been used, the first one was WHOQOL-bref for evaluation of the QV and the second one was an adaptation of the model proposed by Walton for evaluation of the QVT, the questionnaires had been applied in 15 distributed companies as follows: four microcompanies (n= 43), four small companies (n= 86), six medium-sized companies (n=214) and a large company (n=126). The whole evaluated were 469 employees between men and women. For the analysis of data was used to calculate the estimate of the average values of QOL domains and criteria of QWL, identification of outliers, test of independence qui-square and technique of logistic regression. For the validation of the model estimated by logistic regression was used Hosmer-Lemeshow test. The results in the logistic regression for independent variables (QV domains) in relation the dependent variable (overall QWL) showed that the domains: physicist (P=0,002), psychological (P=0,017) and environment (P=0,000) have significant influence in relation to QVT. So social relationships (P=0,114) showed no significant influence has in relation to the QVT, because it presented value over the level of significance (P> 0.05). Considering only the variables that showed significant association was estimated a logistic regression model. With this was noted an employee presenting satisfaction with the QOL domains (physicist, psychological and environment) will have a probability of 78,27% to develop a QWL satisfactory. The results obtained in the logistic regression for independent variables (QWL criteria) in relation to the dependent variable (overall QOL) showed for this population researched that there is not a significant association between the criteria of QLW and overall QOL, , because all the criteria presented values above the level of significance (P> 0.05). It is concluded that the companies can develop programs of QV for the employees of this researched population, giving more attention to the physical, psychological and environment because these areas have presented significant influences in improving satisfaction in relation to the QWL.
