Qualidade de vida no trabalho e comprometimento organizacional em uma empresa do setor varejista

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the correlation between Quality of Work Life (QWL) and Organizational Commitment (OC) among stores of a retail company located in the state of Parana. The participants were 300 employees who were distributed in different cities: Curitiba, Ponta Grossa, Cascavel, Foz do Iguaçu, Londrina and Maringa. To evaluate QWL it was used an adaptation of the Walton’s model developed by Timossi et al., (2009). To evaluate OC, it was adopted a questionnaire developed by Meyer, Allen and Smith (1993) based on the model of Three Components of Organizational Commitment developed by Meyer and Allen (1991). To perform the study were used statistical methods, linear correlation, simple and multiple regressions to demonstrate the relationship between the factors. The results presented a positively moderate perception of QWL proven by the median 74.32 (SD=14.84). OC presented a median of 61.67 (SD=15.70), which assumes a satisfactory condition. It was observed that QWL and OC showed positive correlation. QWL presented an 38.69% explanatory capacity of OC. The conclusion was that QWL affects positively OC. The dimension of QWL titled "Constitutionalism" was considered the most important due to the greater impact on all dimensions of OC, then the dimensions "Opportunities" and "Social Relevance". The other dimensions of QWL were considered expressionless for OC, according to the multiple linear regression test applied.
