Resumo(s)
O presente estudo tem como propósito a análise da influência da prática de desporto na saúde mental e no bem-estar dos trabalhadores e se se traduz numa melhoria do desempenho. Atualmente, têm-se multiplicado estatísticas e dados preocupantes sobre o sedentarismo, a obesidade e os problemas de foro mental e psiquiátrico, conjugado com o facto de Portugal ser dos países da Zona Euro com menor produtividade. Deste modo, tendo em conta que as variáveis do estudo são valências que se podem complementar torna-se imperativo compreender de que forma isso se pode realizar. Para o efeito, procurou-se recolher evidências que o desporto pode ser um motor importante para os indivíduos e que os seus benefícios podem ser transferidos para a esfera profissional e organizacional. As perguntas de partida que nortearam toda a investigação e suportam as conclusões foram as seguintes: “Existem evidências que o desporto pode promover uma melhor condição de bem-estar e um maior nível de saúde mental, levando a uma melhoria do desempenho?” e “Será que a organização reconhece o desporto como uma alavanca para uma série de benefícios tanto para os seus trabalhadores como para si própria”? O modelo de investigação utilizado teve por base a abordagem metodológica mista, por meio de uma entrevista semiestruturada a um responsável pelo programa de bem-estar da empresa e de um questionário com uma amostra de 101 trabalhadores.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of sports practice on the mental health and well-being of workers and whether it leads to an improvement in performance. Currently, there has been a proliferation of worrying statistics and data on sedentary lifestyles, obesity and mental and psychiatric problems, combined with the fact that Portugal is one of the least productive countries in the Eurozone. Therefore, considering that the variables in the study are valences that can complement each other, it is imperative to understand how this can be achieved. To this end, we sought to gather evidence that sport can be an important driver for individuals and that benefits can be transferred to the professional and organizational sphere. The starting questions that guided the entire investigation and supported our conclusions were the following: “Is there evidence that sport can promote a better state of well-being and a higher level of mental health, leading to improved performance?” and “Does the organization recognize sport as a lever for a series of benefits for both its employees and itself?”. The research model used was based on a mixed methodological approach, using a semi-structured interview with a person responsible for the company's wellbeing program and a questionnaire with a sample of 101 workers.
