Comprometimento organizacional no contexto de trabalho precarizado: um estudo de caso com trabalhadores de uma instituição pública de ensino superior da Bahia

Abstract

The present dissertation deals with the relation of the organizational commitment construct in the precarious work environment in a Public Institution of Higher Education in Bahia: the University of the state of Bahia (Uneb). It results from the author's concern based on her professional experience in this institution and aims to analyze the configuration of organizational commitment, in its different bases, of workers who work at Uneb, Campus I, in a context of precarious work. It is anchored in a literature review that addresses the changes in the world of work, goes through the flexibilization and precariousness of work in the public sector and culminates in organizational commitment. Methodologically, this is a descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, which used an electronic questionnaire as a data collection instrument. Regarding the procedures, it was characterized as a single case study, also using documentary research to achieve the objectives. Data were analyzed using the content analysis technique. The main results indicate that Uneb workers moderately perceive the precariousness of work, although this finding does not reflect the reality studied. With regard to the configuration of organizational commitment, the results reveal that, in the different bases, the level of commitment of the workers is low, above all, in relation to the normative base, which concerns the moral obligation to remain in the organization
