Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar as motivações e impactos da adoção da semana de trabalho de quatro dias numa empresa portuguesa do setor digital, focando-se nas perceções dos trabalhadores e nos desafios organizacionais inerentes a esta transição. Através de uma metodologia qualitativa, baseada num estudo de caso e na realização de dez entrevistas semiestruturadas, a trabalhadores de diferentes áreas, o estudo explora as dimensões operacionais, de bem-estar e de conciliação entre vida profissional e pessoal. Os resultados indicam uma perceção globalmente positiva por parte dos trabalhadores, com benefícios significativos ao nível do bem-estar, equilíbrio vida-trabalho e atratividade organizacional. Contudo, identificam-se também desafios críticos, como a intensificação da jornada diária, a gestão de feriados e a necessidade de uma reorganização profunda dos processos internos. Conclui-se que a semana de quatro dias se configura como uma medida transformadora com elevado potencial, mas cujo sucesso depende da sua integração numa estratégia organizacional coerente, assente em comunicação transparente, equidade e adaptação contínua. O estudo contribui para o debate em torno da reorganização do tempo de trabalho, oferecendo uma perspetiva situada e crítica sobre a sua aplicabilidade no contexto empresarial português.
This dissertation aims to analyze the motivations and impacts of adopting a four-day work week in a Portuguese company from the digital sector, focusing on employee perceptions and the organizational challenges inherent to this transition. Using a qualitative methodology based on a single case study and ten semi-structured interviews with employees from different areas and hierarchical levels, the study explores operational, well-being, and work–life balance dimensions. The results indicate an overall positive perception among workers, with significant benefits in terms of well-being, work-life balance, and organizational attractiveness. However, critical challenges were also identified, such as the intensification of the daily workload, the management of public holidays, and the need for a profound reorganization of internal processes. It is concluded that the four-day week is a transformative measure with high potential, but its success depends on its integration into a coherent organizational strategy, based on transparent communication, equity, and continuous adaptation. The study contributes to the debate on working time reorganization, offering a situated and critical perspective on its applicability in the Portuguese business context.
