Wind energy meets buildings? Generating socio-technical change in the urban built environment through vanguard visions

Urban innovators such as startups, architects, and designers produce radical ideas about wind energy in cities. One emergent vision is that of the wind energy producing building. This vision challenges the dominant understanding of buildings, as well as the traditional design and function of wind turbines. Combining STS literature on the performativity of visions with urban assemblage theory, we analyse how these innovative ideas destabilise relations between various elements in the building assemblage. Based on the case of a Dutch startup company, this paper examines how these urban innovators enact their vision by preparing and installing a rooftop wind energy generating system. We find that in their attempt to tackle various challenges, these actors realign multiple elements in the assemblage. They rely on three main practices of producing calculations, reworking socio-professional relations, and reconnecting values around buildings. This implies that fostering urban wind energy and achieving net-zero buildings requires not just developing technical innovations, but taking into account multiple human and non-human actors that must be connected and held together.

Relationship between work context and sleep problems of high school teachers

Objective: The teaching function is related to work overload and health problems, including sleep problems. However, is there a relationship between sleep problems and aspects of work? In view of this, this study aimed to assess the relationship between the work context, the quality of sleep and the daytime sleepiness of teachers from public schools in Rio Grande do Norte (RN). Methodology: This study was conducted in 9 schools with 61 teachers of both genders who filled the work context assessment scale, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Results and Discussion: The majority evaluated Working Conditions and Work Organization as critical/severe, and half of them considered Socio-Professional Relations as critical/severe. Poor sleep quality was observed in 69% of teachers, regardless of gender and excessive daytime sleepiness was observed in 49% of teachers, most often in women (55%) compared to men. Nevertheless, there was no significant relationship between work context and sleep problems. In relation to sleep schedule, it was observed that teachers present late sleep time (23: 26 ± 1: 25h) and early wake up time (6: 06 ± 1: 16h) which may have resulted in short sleep duration (6: 10 ± 1: 07h). Conclusion: These results demonstrate that, in general, public school teachers in RN present complaints related to the work context and sleep problems. However, studies with a more representative sample are needed to assess as the factors related to the work context may be contributing to sleep problems. Furthermore, there is a need to create spaces for discussion with teachers in order to improve the work context and public policies aimed at education.

SUBMARINOS E SUBMARINISTAS

A capacidade de operar invisível e silenciosamente torna os submarinos uma das armas mais valiosas do mundo contemporâneo. Possuir uma força de submarinos poderosa é uma demonstraçāo da existência de um Poder Naval forte e estruturado. Contudo, grande parte do valor de um submarino reside nas pessoas que o tripulam, assegurando o correto e oportuno funcionamento dos sistemas. Considerando que muitas atividades nele realizadas são de extrema complexidade e interdependentes, cada membro da tripulação tem um papel relevante a ser desempenhado. Assim, faz-se o seguinte questionamento: Em que medida os estressores devidos às condições e à organização do trabalho em submarinos provocam sofrimento psíquico nos tripulantes, apesar da compensação exercida pelo "ethos militar", sendo este um conceito que envolve a dedicação, o espírito de equipe e a disciplina, e do qual resulta uma maior resiliência. Em face do exposto, o presente artigo buscou analisar as condições e a organização de trabalho no ambiente confinado de um submarino, visando estimar o impacto delas sobre o comportamento dos sujeitos. Para atingir tal objetivo, utilizou-se a Escala de Avaliação do Contexto de Trabalho (EACT), que é composta pelos fatores organização do trabalho, condições de trabalho e relações socioprofissionais e a Escala de Avaliação dos Danos Relacionados ao Trabalho (EADRT) que fazem parte do Inventário sobre Trabalho e Riscos de Adoecimento (ITRA), além de terem sido realizadas entrevistas não estruturadas. Como resultado, obteve-se a percepção de que o ethos militar favorece o profissional submarinista a apresentar um forte espírito de cooperação e abnegação, que o habilitam a superar desafios por meio da contínua preparação e capacitação. Houve uma baixa percepção da existência de agentes estressores no momento da pesquisa, o que permite concluir a presença de estratégias adequadas de enfrentamento (coping) que, alinhadas ao ethos militar proporcionam um melhor modo de lidar com esses estressores.

Work Context and Stress Symptoms in Basic Education Teachers

The teaching work records a scenario of environmental, organizational and interpersonal precariousness that contribute to the emergence of stress. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between work context and stress symptoms in elementary school teachers from public schools. It was a descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study, whose sample was 196 teachers. Were used a sociodemographic survey, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the Stress Symptom Intensity Survey (LIS-E) and the Work Context Assessment Scale (EACT). The mean stress symptoms were compatible with the general population; correlations between stress symptoms and work context for both instruments were weak.

These results allow us to point out important aspects of programs for improving the organization of teaching work.

Como os Empreendedores Trabalham: Uma Leitura Psicodinâmica da Organização do Trabalho de um Grupo de Empreendedores

A ação empreendedora está sendo bastante valorizada no atual modelo econômico, político e social, porém, poucos estudos consideram os empreendedores na condição de trabalhadores que de fato são. Em razão desta situação, o objetivo deste estudo é descrever a organização do trabalho dos empreendedores, privilegiando a compreensão dos aspectos subjetivos mobilizados por eles a partir de situações concretas de trabalho, tendo como abordagem teórico-metodológica a Psicodinâmica do Trabalho. Foram realizadas quatro sessões coletivas com um grupo de oito empreendedores, com duração total aproximada de doze horas. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi um questionário semiestruturado. As sessões foram gravadas em vídeo, transcritas e depois analisadas utilizando a técnica de Análise de Conteúdo. Pôde-se constatar que a forma de organização do trabalho do empreendedor se diferencia da maioria dos trabalhadores, sendo caracterizada por uma rotina de imprevistos e preparação, requerendo uma maior capacidade de planejamento e flexibilidade na realização de suas atividades laborais. Em geral, os empreendedores possuem uma agenda diária cheia de compromissos, o que remete a uma carga de trabalho intensa. Contudo, eles possuem o poder de fazer modificações na organização do trabalho, em suas atividades e horários, proporcionando maior liberdade e autonomia no cotidiano laboral. Constatou-se que, ao criar o próprio negócio, os empreendedores tornam-se agentes ativos na modelagem tanto do próprio trabalho quanto de suas organizações, propiciando melhor descarga psíquica. Contudo, a liberdade atribuída ao trabalho dos empreendedores é limitada pela burocracia governamental, pelas relações socioprofissionais e pelo mercado de trabalho.

Processos de trabalho e de subjetivação de professores universitários de cursos de educação à distância

Resumo Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar a relação entre processos de trabalho e processos de subjetivação na atividade do ensino docente da educação à distância (EaD). Optou-se por realizar uma pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória, que teve como procedimento o estudo de caso único e como instrumentos a observação, a pesquisa documental, o questionário e a entrevista semidirigida. Os resultados revelaram que os professores percebem as Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) como inerentes a todas as esferas de suas vidas, ocorrendo também, um acirramento do volume de trabalho e a necessidade de eles se disciplinarem. A organização do trabalho na EaD pressupõe uma nova forma de estruturar-se, em que existe aumento do controle, o que cerceia a autonomia docente; as relações socioprofissionais mediadas pelas TIC tornam o trabalho dos professores de EaD mais solitário mas, ao mesmo tempo, requerem uma equipe multidisciplinar para executar o trabalho docente.

Work context and the human cost of work in a Brazilian judiciary organ

In recent years, in order to ensure the effectiveness of justice, the process of reform of the Brazilian Judiciary began. If, on the one hand, the changes have been significant and positive, on the other, little is known about the impact of the changes on the worker. In order to give visibility to the effects of these changes, based on the theory of the ergonomics of the activity, the scope of this research was to evaluate the Work Context and the Human Cost of Work in a Brazilian Judiciary Organ. The Assessment Scale of Work Context (ASWC) and the Scale of Human Cost of Work (SHCW) were used, as they are both components of the Inventory on Work and Risk - IWR. The study included 383 staff in different locations: 58% female, 62.7% with postgraduate qualifications, 59.3% married and 53% between 21 and 40 years of age. The results in ASWC reveal critical factors in work organization and socio-professional relations. In the case of SHCW, Affective Cost and Cognitive Cost factor assessments were moderate to critical. The ANOVA revealed differences in perceptions related to some socio-demographic variables.

Prazer e sofrimento docente em uma instituição de ensino superior privada em Minas Gerais

O artigo analisa a percepção de docentes de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior privada de Belo Horizonte sobre a vivência de prazer e sofrimento no trabalho, utilizando-se como método o estudo de caso de caráter quantitativo e qualitativo. Os dados quantitativos indicaram que a maioria dos resultados variou de "críticos" a "graves". Realização profissional foi o fator de prazer no trabalho mais relevante. Esgotamento profissional destacou-se como o fator de sofrimento no trabalho mais crítico. O estudo mostrou associações positivas entre: a) sofrimento no trabalho (falta de reconhecimento e esgotamento profissional) e faixa etária e tempo no magistério; e b) sofrimento no trabalho (esgotamento profissional) e relações socioprofissionais (gestão do trabalho, comunicação e interação profissional). Os dados qualitativos revelaram que elementos de precarização no trabalho foram considerados como deflagradores de sofrimento no trabalho, principalmente aqueles relacionados à autonomia, a novas formas de avaliação do ensino superior e ao relacionamento interpessoal.

A ACELERAÇÃO CONTEMPORÂNEA COMO DEMARCADORA DOS ESTILOS E DA QUALIDADE DE VIDA NO TRABALHO ENTRE PROFISSIONAIS DE SAÚDE

Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar os significados atribuídos à qualidade de vida no trabalho por profissionais de saúde de um hospital público terciário na região Nordeste do Brasil, levandose em conta o novo tempo em que se vive, demarcado por estilos de vida hiperacelerados e por uma cultura hedonista em que cultuam sensações imediatas e efêmeras. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, que ocorreu mediante trabalho de campo, no ambiente laboral onde os profissionais exerciam suas atividades. Os dados foram coletados por meio de observação participante e entrevistas com roteiro semiestruturado. O enfoque metodológico para a análise do recorte temático orientou-se pela seguinte questão: Para você, o que significa qualidade de vida no trabalho? O método do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo - DSC, como ferramenta para organização e análise dos dados, possibilitou identificar o significado da qualidade de vida no trabalho relacionada ao equilíbrio entre trabalho e vida pessoal, às relações socioprofissionais, à redução da sobrecarga e do estresse ocupacional e a um modo de vida menos acelerado. Os resultados do estudo apontam que os estilos de vida hiperacelerados na sociedade contemporânea interferem de forma decisiva nos estilos e na qualidade de vida do trabalhador, ocasionando desequilíbrio entre trabalho e as outras esferas de vida e, dessa forma, comprometendo a satisfação laboral.

"Lidar com gente é muito complicado": relações socioprofissionais de trabalho e custo humano da atividade em teleatendimento governamental

A pesquisa teve como objetivo geral investigar a inter-relação do custo humano da atividade com as relações socioprofissionais de trabalho em um serviço de teleatendimento governamental. Trata-se de um diagnóstico em Ergonomia da Atividade que contempla três dimensões analíticas: as relações socioprofissionais de trabalho, o custo humano da atividade e as vivências de bem-estar e mal-estar. Utilizou-se como abordagem metodológica a Análise Ergonômica do Trabalho (AET). A análise dos resultados identificou uma associação entre as relações socioprofissionais de trabalho, a organização e as condições de trabalho. Desse modo, melhorias ou dificuldades em uma dessas dimensões exercem conseqüências positivas ou negativas sobre as demais. Os aspectos críticos do contexto de produção de serviços de teleatendimento interferem nas relações socioprofissionais de trabalho uma vez que a organização do trabalho impõe interações marcadas pela burocracia, pelo autoritarismo, pela rigidez e pelo controle, enquanto que as condições de trabalho contribuem para constantes conflitos interpessoais entre pares e entre teleatendentes e chefes de turma.
