Comprometimento organizacional e potencial motivador do trabalho em uma pequena empresa de distribuição de produtos de limpeza

Abstract

This paper has the purpose of assessing in which dimension of organizational commitment a small business of cleaning products distribution, from the city of Ponta Grossa/PR, is situated and what is the motivation level that it provides its employees. In order to do so, the study employed Hackman and Oldham's Motivating Potential Score questionnaires, translated and adapted by Pedroso et al (2010), and applicable tools such as Meyer and Allen's Three-Component Model of Organizational Commitment (1992), applied to 30 employees from the three sectors of the company: administrative, commercial and logistics. This research has a quantitative approach and it is characterized as a case study, exploratory and descriptive. Moreover, the research was developed from August to September in 2015. All of the collected data were charted and analyzed, arriving at the result that the small business, in the three sectors researched, presents an inadequate motivation level and that the collaborators remain in the company because they feel it is their moral obligation to do so.
