Work, Productivity, Happiness and Culture
Resumo
A cultura desempenha um papel fundamental nas organizações, especialmente nas suas estratégias de gestão e na adoção de novas tecnologias. Influencia diretamente a forma como o Empowerment é implementado, uma vez que diferentes culturas nacionais, com as suas distintas formas de pensar e agir, podem levar a abordagens de gestão variadas por parte dos líderes. Isso, por sua vez, pode impactar a motivação e a produtividade dos colaboradores. No contexto atual, em que as organizações enfrentam constantes mudanças e incertezas, o tema da felicidade no trabalho tem ganho destaque, mas ainda há muitas questões sem respostas claras. A literatura ainda não oferece uma definição consensual sobre o que é felicidade no trabalho, nem como ela pode ser mensurada de forma precisa. Embora alguns estudos apontem que a felicidade no ambiente de trabalho está associada a um aumento na produtividade, essa relação ainda é objeto de debate entre os investigadores, o que evidencia a necessidade de estudos detalhados sobre o tema. Este projeto interno de investigação visa aprofundar o entendimento sobre como a cultura organizacional influencia as práticas de gestão e o Empowerment, bem como explorar o impacto da felicidade no trabalho sobre a produtividade e a eficácia organizacional.
