Abstract(s)
Nos últimos anos, o equilíbrio entre a vida pessoal e profissional (WLB) tem-se tornado cada vez mais importante tanto para os indivíduos, como para as organizações. Contudo, as exigências do mercado e o aumento da sobrecarga de trabalho comprometem o bem-estar e a qualidade de vida dos colaboradores. O excesso de trabalho, caracterizado por horários prolongados, prazos rigorosos e solicitações contínuas, pode levar à exaustão emocional o que dificulta o equilíbrio entre o contexto pessoal e profissional. Esta investigação enquadrou-se neste tópico e teve como objetivo perceber de que forma as horas de trabalho semanal e a exaustão emocional medeiam a relação que existe entre a sobrecarga de trabalho e o WLB. Participaram no estudo 212 profissionais, com idades que variam entre os 20 e os 64 anos. Os dados foram recolhidos através do Role Overload Questionnaire, do Work-Life-Balance Scale e da Emotional Exhaustion Scale. Os resultados demonstraram que o WLB é negativamente afetado pela sobrecarga de trabalho e pelas horas de trabalho semanal. Também foi possível apurar que quanto mais elevados são os níveis de exaustão emocional, maior é a dificuldade em conciliar o contexto pessoal, com o profissional. A análise dos dados revelou, ainda, que existe um efeito mediador em série em que a sobrecarga de trabalho influencia negativamente o WLB através das horas de trabalho semanal e da exaustão emocional.
In recent years, the balance between personal and professional life (WLB) has become increasingly important for both individuals and organizations. However, market demands and the increased workload compromise employees' well-being and quality of life. Excessive work, characterized by long hours, strict deadlines, and continuous demands, can lead to emotional exhaustion, making it difficult to balance professional and personal contexts. This research focused on this topic and aimed to understand how weekly working hours and emotional exhaustion mediate the relationship between workload and WLB. The study involved 212 professionals, aged between 20 and 64 years. Data were collected using the Role Overload Questionnaire, the Work-Life Balance Scale, and the Emotional Exhaustion Scale. The results showed that WLB is negatively affected by workload and weekly working hours. It was also found that higher levels of emotional exhaustion make it more difficult to reconcile personal and professional contexts. Data analysis further revealed a serial mediation effect in which workload negatively influences WLB through weekly working hours and emotional exhaustion.
