Dissertação (Mestrado Profissional em Gestão de Processos Institucionais) - Centro de Ciências Humanas, Letras e Artes, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2016.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/jspui/handle/123456789/22185This study aimed to analyze the relationship between working conditions and psychosocial risks that the staff of the University Restaurant (UR) of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) is subjected. In undertaken descriptive research, as a strategy, we decided for a case study of multimethod type, combining various resources, seeking a broader approach to the phenomenon investigated. Data were collected through direct and systematic observation and using the questionnaires (Conditions Questionnaire work-QCT and Psychosocial Risk Assessment Protocol Work-PROART), which sought to examine working conditions and identify psychosocial risks in the context UR. The results indicated that the servers of the UR, mostly are male with an average age of 38 years old, married, working in the unit, on average, just over two years, most of them as the kitchen auxiliary function, cook and cupbearer. Regarding the QCT results, it was found that the working conditions offered to UR servers are conducive to physical and psychological damage and may cause health problems, mainly due to issues related to infrastructure and sociogerencial environment. The results from PROART corroborated the data obtained with the QCT, indicating that UR workers are subject to psychosocial risks low to medium character, mainly due to the requirements relating to the organization of work, as well as the pathogenic suffering derived from feelings of dissatisfaction and wear. These results are configured as an alert to an extreme situation that demand, in the short and medium term, the need for intervention by the management to promote actions to minimize the negative effects and leverage the positive impact of the work. It is expected that the results obtained may convey an increased knowledge of the sector and provide managers data and information that can support the implementation of changes aimed at improving the organizational functioning and working conditions, bringing as main consequence, the reduction of public expenditure and health problems arising from the work environment.Acesso AbertoRestauranteAlimentação coletivaCondições de trabalhoRiscos psicossociaisDoenças ocupacionaismasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS: GESTÃO DE PROCESSOS INSTITUCIONAIS
