Master Thesis Processos de significação nas trajetórias laborais de jovens diplomados no ensino superior atuando fora da área de formação(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2025-01-21) Silva, Wesley Jordan Pereira da; Bendassolli, Pedro Fernando; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9170-5820; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6216731228198316; Lima, Fellipe Coelho; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7763-4050; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5116689205242979; Torres, Tatiana de LucenaThe expansion of higher education and changes in the world of work have created a scenario in which a degree does not guarantee employability. This dissertation explored the subjective implications of this reality for the way young graduates perceive and experience work. The aim was to investigate the processes of signification in the work trajectories of young graduates working outside their fields of study or unemployed, using the Trajectory Equifinality Model. The senses and meanings of the young people investigated using this tool were articulated based on memories, affections/disaffection, and dilemmas/tensions related to not working in their field. A two-stage study was carried out. In the first, of a quantitative and complementary nature, a questionnaire was used to describe the work situations of graduates from a public university. The second, qualitative, consisted of ten in-depth interviews. Intra- and inter-case analysis was carried out on the material produced. A total of 590 graduates responded to the questionnaire, showing that almost half (48%) work outside their field and/or in jobs that do not require higher education. The main findings of the second stage indicated that the young people used the meanings of job, career, and vocation to delineate their subjective experiences with work, which was seen as a career or vocation when related to their fields: if it was within their fields, work was associated with personal and professional fulfillment, a dream come true and the opportunity to help others. Outside their field, work was secondary and related only to subsistence. "Gaining" a field of study through a diploma transformed the relationship that the young participants established with work, what they expected from it, and what they wanted to achieve through it. In addition, the meanings “inherited” from the culture proved insufficient to structure the processes of signification, leading the young people to resort to hybridity or “stylizations”.Master Thesis O trabalho subordinado por meio das plataformas digitais em cidade interiorana(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2024-02-28) Miranda, Margarida Mayara Moura de; Lima, Fellipe Coelho; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7763-4050; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5116689205242979; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2469-9410; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3208161411586185; Sanson, César; Gurgel, Fernanda Fernandes; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7739-3058; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7937881668378816; Keppler, Isabel Lopes dos SantosInformation technologies exert a dominant influence on everyday life, occupying a central space in contemporary society. This ascendancy, accompanied by numerous transformations, has intensified some forms of work, notably highlighting delivery apps. In this context, there is an urgent demand for a deeper understanding of the impacts of technological transition on small cities, highlighting the complexity of the changes and the challenges faced by local workers. The growing presence and influence of delivery apps as catalysts of this phenomenon require a critical analysis, considering not only the apparent benefits but also the potential risks and precarizations inherent in this new labor paradigm. The research conducted in Santa Cruz-RN analyzed the organization of work subordinate to digital platforms, focusing on delivery apps. Three studies were conducted involving platform representatives, local merchants, and delivery drivers. Using the method of core significance analysis with QDA Miner 5.0 software, interviews were transcribed and analyzed. The results reveal that work through these platforms not only formalizes but also consolidates precarization in small cities. Platform companies face challenges and difficulties in consolidating in the studied city; personal relationships are strong in the local culture, preventing platforms from being as prominent as in large cities. Merchants do not feel as many advantages, nor do delivery drivers, who see no point in registering or linking with delivery platforms. Integrated into the local dynamics of some small cities, as evidenced by the study in Santa Cruz-RN, despite the increasing presence of delivery apps, their adoption and acceptance face cultural and structural resistances, resulting in challenges for both companies and local workers. The critical analysis of these results points to the need for policies and strategies more sensitive to the specificities of these communities, in order to mitigate negative impacts and promote a more equitable and sustainable technological transition. Thus, a deep understanding of the effects of information technologies in small cities is essential to guide interventions that can maximize benefits and minimize precarizations associated with work subordinate to digital platforms.Master Thesis Escolarização básica na EJA: ensino-aprendizagem e desenvolvimento de jovens e adultos trabalhadores(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2022-09-06) Silva, Gabriel de Nascimento e; Campos, Herculano Ricardo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3896628029641662; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5647-2750; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0186761719323208; Lima, Cárita Portilho de; Barreto, Maria da Apresentação; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0256251497039883Youth and Adult Education (EJA) is a form of basic schooling, aimed at those students who didn’t have access or conditions to continue their studies at the expected age, especially workers. The late return to school and the condition of student-worker demand new readings on the teaching-learning processes, because it occurs in a period of development where the work activities figure as more significant in the student's life, thus requiring special attention to the organization of the pedagogical activity. In this perspective, this research tried to reveal the contributions of the Cultural-Historical Psychology for the EJA field as well as to analyse the organisation of the pedagogical practices in this modality. The methodological strategies adopted were: integrative review of Brazilian dissertations and thesis that investigate the EJA in the light of the Cultural-Historical Psychology and the accomplishment of semi-structured interviews with three teachers acting in the modality of EJA. The analyses undertaken are based on the Cultural-Historical Psychology, in its Historical-Dialectical Materialist base, especially regarding the periodization of the human development and its implications to the teaching organization. We observed, with the review, the recentness of this discussion and disperse production. The themes approached were: senses and meanings attributed to schooling; teaching practices and pedagogical resources used; educational policies; and, development of the higher psychological functions. With the interviews, we evidenced the insufficient appropriation of the theories of development and adult learning, resulting from a teaching training that neglects the study about EJA, resulting in incoherent pedagogical practices. Thus, we conclude that the teaching-learning process in EJA mediated by study and work activities remains little explored and lacking propositions. We defend that the knowledge about the cultural-historical periodization logic of development, especially the understanding of work as the main activity in adulthood, may contribute to the planning and organization of the pedagogical activity in EJA.Master Thesis Resiliência, estresse ocupacional e capacidade para o trabalho em profissionais de saúde durante a pandemia da COVID19(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2021-09-28) Negreiros, Bárbara Teixeira Campos de; Maia, Eulalia Maria Chaves; Oliveira, Luciana Carla Barbosa de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9664507110577422; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2021670670663453; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6852158882248656; Moreira, Simone da Nobrega Tomaz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3642294168997314; Maia, Rodrigo da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1734687878822841Health professionals are considered one of the categories with the most risk of illness, due to the characteristics inherent to their work nature. This context was aggravated by the COVID19 pandemic, subjecting this class to a work overload, increased risk of illness and withdrawal from their routine. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between resilience, occupational stress and work ability in professionals who work in direct care of patients with COVID-19. This is a quantitative, cross-sectional and correlational research with 91 employees (nurses, nursing technicians, physicians and physiotherapists) from a reference hospital in Rio Grande do Norte. Employees answered a Sociodemographic Questionnaire (social and work context data), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the Work Stress Scale and the Work Ability Index. The results indicated lower levels in resilience and occupational stress constructs, and a good work ability of the total sample. Regarding the resilience instrument, it showed a significant association with nurses and other female participants, both showing lower resilience. In regard of work stress, the nurses along with nursing technicians, demonstrated a risk in face of a high level of stress. Furthermore, the cluster analysis evidenced the existence of three clusters that are distributed across differentc scores on the scales, with emphasis on Cluster 1, which presented critical values in all instruments and denoted suffering in face of work experience and the need for interventions. It appears that the daily experiences of health teams during the pandemic influenced their perception of work and their ability to deal or overcome adversity. Another relevant aspect is the functionality and physical and mental resources to carry on their work activities.Doctoral Thesis Os significados do trabalho nas trajetórias de pessoas transgêneras(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2021-08-30) Alves, Joatã Soares Coelho; Bendassolli, Pedro Fernando; Lima, Fellipe Coelho; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8136294095024847; Leite, Jader Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0115447283248209; Jesus, Jaqueline Gomes de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0121194567584126; Gondim, Sônia Maria Guedes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9725833775313298; Torres, Tatiana de Lucena; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2310895002206004Transgender people (also called trans people), those who do not identify with the gender assigned to them at birth due to their biological sex, are the most marginalized, violated and excluded group within the LGBTIA+ population (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgenders, Intersex, Asexuals and other designations). In the world of work, this group faces denial of access to the formal market and compulsory insertion into prostitution and underemployment. Even in the face of the exclusion faced in the world of work, there are indications in the literature that work can be perceived as a source of autonomy, social inclusion, social rights, and identity reaffirmation. In view of this diversity of perceptions and representations, the goal of this research was to investigate the process of meaning of work in the experiences of trans people. From a theoretical and methodological point of view, we investigated the meanings of work from a semiotic-based cultural-historical perspective, using in-depth interviews focused on the life and work stories of the five protagonists interviewed as part of the study, two (2) trans women, two (2) trans men, and one (1) non-binary person. First, a semiotic mapping of the process of meaning of work in the trajectories of the protagonists was carried out. The results of this first stage of analysis pointed out that, from a cultural perspective, work was meant simultaneously as a source of exclusion and interdictions (especially in informality), and, in the face of the expectation of insertion in formality, as a way of inclusion and guarantee of rights. From the personal point of view, the main meanings were, first, that of work as an avenue of protection against the violations and interdictions faced by transgender people in our society. Second, came personal meanings that understand work as a source of recognition, identity distinction, and social validation. Next, a semiotic characterization of the meaning of work in the experiences of transgender people was carried out, based on the convergences and trends identified among the investigated trajectories. In this characterization, we highlighted: a) the impact of the experience of transphobia situations in family, social, and work contexts as determinants for the early insertion of trans people in the world of work; b) the concrete experiences, expectations, and desires of trans people regarding the insertion in different work arrangements as mediating elements for the construction of meanings, and c) different semiotic functions played by the meanings of work in the lives of trans people, especially those of promoting adaptation to the difficulties faced and mitigate their subjective impacts on the trajectories. Finally, we identified thematic nuclei of meaning that appeared transversally in the analyzed trajectories. These cores were then discussed based on the literature about the work of the trans population, and social, economic, and cultural determinants, especially in the light of the reflections proposed by Work Psychology, by Cultural-Historical Psychology with a semiotic basis, and by Brazilian Transfeminism. By deepening the understanding of the meanings produced by trans people about work, we sought to offer academic contributions on the subject and subsidies that can contribute to policies and affirmative actions aimed at this group, especially with regard to social inclusion through work.Master Thesis A vivência do trabalho em professoras de escolas privadas durante a pandemia do COVID-19(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2021-08-23) Nüssle, Flora Santos; Lima, Fellipe Coelho; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5116689205242979; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2850130006453164; Aquino, Cassio Adriano Braz de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0857879689626098; Barreto, Maria da Apresentação; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0256251497039883In 2020 the new coronavirus brought about a completely new dynamic for professionals in all areas, such as the private school teacher. This occupation has a mostly female workforce, occupying up to 82% of the positions in elementary education. Thus, the objective of this dissertation is to analyze how female private school teachers experience their work during the covid-19 pandemic. The research is theoretically based on Vygotsky's Cultural-Historical perspective and counts on the participation of 12 female teachers who teach elementary school in private schools in the city of Natal/RN. The methodology chosen was the application of an in-depth interview conducted online through the Google Meet platform. This was divided into four axes, namely: socioeconomic data, work life history, work context, and dramas at work. The data collected were categorized with the help of the QDA Miner platform and to analyze them, the three stages of the Nuclei of Meaning were performed. In the first stage, from the floating reading of the interviews 58 pre-indicators were listed, which were later agglutinated into 19 indicators and, finally, these indicators formed five nuclei of meaning. The cores are: the meanings produced by women about the work as a teacher; the difficulties of the daily life of a teacher; the consequences of the pandemic arrival; the aggravations generated by the pandemic; and the challenges faced. In view of these findings, we understand that the pandemic acted as a catalyst for the difficulties of work that already existed in the daily lives of private school teachers. And that the different ways they experience these difficulties, as well as face them, is a consequence of a social and historical system implied by neoliberal capitalism, by the processes of precarization, outsourcing, as well as by the formation of the school and the sexual division of labor.Master Thesis Assistência social e as "novas tendências" de subsunção do trabalho ao capital: uma análise a partir das políticas de ativação ao trabalho(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2020-12-21) Sousa, Burnier Sales de; Oliveira, Isabel Maria Farias Fernandes de; Wellen, Henrique André Ramos; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0608444866355465; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6077243255728600; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5812060677041104; Amaral, Ângela Santana do; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6546778737282608; Euzebios Filho, Antônio; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5021249372250097With the exponential increase in unemployment, informality and the implementation of various forms of precarious work that further subordinate the working class, social assistance assumes the role of poverty management in contemporary capitalism. This poverty management led by social assistance occurs through the implementation of income transfer programs and policies for activating work. This fact reconfigures this policy as elementary in meeting the social and material needs of the working class under a strong individualist apparatus, which transfers to the working class the responsibility of dealing with its context of impoverishment and precariousness of its work. In light of this, the objective was to analyze the centrality of social assistance in the management of reproduction of the working class, through policies of activation to work, and its relationship with the working conditions in contemporary capitalism. A bibliographic study and survey of documentary and statistical data was carried out, with the purpose of understanding the object of study in question, the intersection between social assistance and work through the policies of activation to work, in its multiple determinations. The main results point to the increasingly deep relationship between social assistance and work, which is updated in the context of contemporary capitalism, through the cult of individualism, the bet on professional qualification and the myth of entrepreneurship as escape routes from the conditions of poverty of the working class. Furthermore, the data show that the scenario put on the job market to absorb these users is an intense precariousness of work, an increase in informality as a rule and a low salary. It is concluded that, social assistance assumes the role of launching the users that are necessarily served to the contexts of precarious work, through the policies of work activation.Master Thesis Adultez emergente e significado do trabalho na transição universidade-mercado(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2020-11-24) Souto, Juliana Maia; Lima, Fellipe Coelho; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5116689205242979; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5200208674837431; Pessoa, Manuela Castelo Branco; ; Barreto, Maria da Apresentação; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0256251497039883The transformations in working world and its precarious conditions about the existence and labor activity has affected, especially, youg adults in their educational and labor paths, and in their process to become adulthood. The difficulty of this group in assuming the adulthood status and accomplish their life project has caused differents dynamics in youth trajectories, characterized by unpredictability and fragemented paths. In this way, to investigates this complex and dynamic life’s period, some researches are concerned with the goal about analyzing the trajectories of youth in the transformations, based on educational work paths. Among this theories, the Emergin Adulthood has gained prominence, considerig the goal of analyze the psychological and objective aspects of this period of live. In this context of uncertains and minimun public policies for young people, it has become important to identify how the meanigs about the changes of working world have influenced the development youth trajectories. Therefore, our goal is to investigate the meanings attributed to working during tha transition to adulthood and its relation with the phenomenon of emerging adultood. This is a quantitative research, that was aimed at young people in transition “university-labor market” in the last year of graduation and recent graduates aged between 18 and 29 years. In total, 272 young people answeared a personal and social survey, an ESAT-BR and IDEA-BR. The results demonstrated a possible relation between the dimensions of emerging adulthood and the meaninngs of work, idicating that youg people perceive work as an importante resource to deal with the transition to adulthood. Furthermore, the association between sociodemographic variables and the investigates constructs showed that other factors are related to these phenomenon, explained by it complexity.Master Thesis Sofrimento, adoecimento mental e poder de agir: um estudo de caso com servidores públicos do judiciário trabalhista(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2020-09-01) Melo, Rosane Helena Cardoso de; Torres, Tatiana de Lucena; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2310895002206004; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1774145920215457; Pessoa, Manuela Castelo Branco; ; Falcão, Jorge Tarcísio da Rocha; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9066230660650393The objective The objective of this work was to analyze the health-mental illness process of the hearing court hearing secretaries of Paraíba, having as a theoreticalmethodological contribution the Clinic of the Activity. It was a descriptive and clinicalinterventional study, sequential multimethods, with a qualitative approach, in which I used documentary analysis, observation, conducting semi-structured interviews on professional history and aspects of the activity related to health, and the instructional technique to the double. All ethical precepts were respected. Among the results, I highlight that: (a) the quality of the interpersonal relationships established in the work activity is related to the maintenance of the mental health of the audience secretaries; (b) the excess of assignments, the impossibility of counting on peers and taking breaks during the execution of tasks appear to be linked to frames of anxiety and stress, favoring experiences of suffering and impotence in relation to work; (c) the weakening of collectives and the professional gender may be opening the way for the loss of health of these professionals; on the other hand, (d) some interesting ways of escaping the limitations of the activity are noticeable through the instruments that the participants create or that are used to circumvent them, reinvent themselves, personalize the activity. As a way of protecting the mental health of these workers, I point out the need for greater articulation of the collectives as a resource for coping with difficulties, for institutional interventions that favor interpersonal relationships and cooperation, in addition to arrangements that enable the relay among audience professionals.Master Thesis Práticas de inclusão e representações sociais sobre trabalhadores com deficiência em instituições de educação superior do Nordeste(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2020-03-06) Ferreira, Danilo Colatino; Torres, Tatiana de Lucena; ; ; Bezerra, Henrique Jorge Simões; ; Lima, Fellipe Coelho;In the present study, I analyze the social representations about disabled workers for people with disabilities, their managers and co-workers, considering their practices of inclusion in the public service in Higher Education Institutions - IES located in the Northeast of Brazil. This being the general objective for which, based theoretically and methodologically on the Theory of Social Representations, the research for the construction of this dissertation was systematized in three axes: 1. Construction of the theoretical framework based on the narrative review and documentary research; 2. Integrative review of studies defended in Brazil at the graduate level on the work of people with disabilities in the public service; 3. Narrative interviews with workers with and without disabilities, in three Northeastern HEIs, with the intention of identifying and analyzing social representations about workers with disabilities. After analyzing the narratives with the aid of textual analysis software, the results showed that work was characterized as a need for social affirmation of workers with disabilities, being a source of pleasure, recognition, and socialization that seems to be felt effectively by the people interviewed. The difficulties experienced by workers are shared by people with and without disabilities, namely: inadequate working conditions and bureaucracy in work processes. It is concluded that the social representations of the TCD had justifying functions, since for the PCD the TCD have the same working conditions and difficulties faced by the TSD. And when some difficulties present themselves to the TCD, they believe that it is characteristic of such people to overcome and strengthen themselves in the face of situations. In addition, TSDs believe that quota policies are essential to guarantee conditions "equal" to PCDs, an aspect not so emphasized by disabled workers themselves. Inclusion is seen differently from insertion, both by the TCD and the other interviewees, and for all, access to work is an important tool, however there is a need for adjustments in public policys and better administrative adjustments that enable the autonomy of workers in the search for jobs. better perform their activities, whether TCD or TSD.
