Pessoas e organizações – volume 3

Abstract

This book presents articles that address the relationship between organisations and their workers, highlighting the main challenges that need to be faced in order to overcome the dilemmas and contradictions that characterise the current business environment, with repercussions on management models and quality of life at work. It brings together the best papers from the 4th People and Organisations Studies Symposium (SEPO), organised by the People and Organisations Studies Group (GEPPO). The articles deal with the three main themes researched by GEPPO: Human Behaviour in Organisations; Methods and Techniques for People Management and Work Relations and Subjectivity in Organisations. Trends observed in academic study agendas and organisational practices that have been adopted in the field of People Management and Work Relations are highlighted. Topics such as the services offered by HR TECHS, start-ups that provide People Management solutions; the strategies that can be adopted to increase workers' organisational commitment; and the challenge of reducing gender inequality in the labour market are highlighted; the effects of the 4th Industrial Revolution on workers; Burnout Syndrome, highlighting the academic production on this serious labour illness and the waysto combat it; the limits and possibilities of remote working; the necessary fight against the bullying of workers and the importance of using indicators in People Management.
