Facilitism and silence is over in cases of harassment. Hybrid workers have better mental health indicators.
There were almost 4,000 Portuguese workers who responded to the Portuguese laboratory survey of healthy work environments.
The study showed that There are more reports of labor harassment cases and one state aggravation psychological of workers in Portugal.
More reports does not mean that there is more work harassment now: “In general, people get better identify harassment situations. A few years ago it was accepted more easily a shrotting boss, rummaging, humiliated or abused; and the Sexual harassment happened a lot and was not mentioned. Now there is a increasing notion that these behaviors are not tolerable, ”explains coordinator Tânia Gaspar.
The specialist in Occupational Psychology indicates in what, at the international level (in the inquiry there is no such separation), the most common is toxic leadersthat destroy, inferiorize or humiliate.
And also some cases of sexual harassment, Not always visible immediately: “Sometimes they are obvious things, sometimes more subtle, as a boss is always sending messages to a subordinate or inviting her to drink coffee or lunch. Even without a touch or explicit verbalization, they are invasive situations and that easily leave the person intimidated.”
The victims of labor harassment, for the most part, are more psychologically fragile and less ability to be assertive.
But Who was born first? “It’s like the egg and the chicken-we don’t know to what extent people, because they are pressured and mistreated at work, are getting more psychological symptoms and less self-esteem and ability to action, or if they have already made them more vulnerable, since the aggressors don’t work with everyone.
In general, they are increase the cases of exhaustion. They rise above all the symptoms of anxiety and irritability, not those of depression: “people feel exhausted and become less tolerant and more irritable, with greater propensity for hostile behaviors, which can also help explain the increase in cases of labor.”
For this, the current global context of uncertainty: “People and organizations are in a pressure cooker.”
Workers in regime hybrid They are those who have the best mental health indicators. Those who are at face -to -face work have higher levels of exhaustion. Respondents say they work better at home than in the office.
In relation to age, Those closest to the reform presents better mental health indicators. The worst are as follows – which are 30 to 60 years old. The youngest call less to work, they have no much sense of belonging to the company.
The activity sector that has the most professionals at risk of burnout It is that of health. “And, in general, the professionals of the Public function – Noteworthy for the central administration – have worse mental health indicators than those in the private sector, ”added Tânia Gaspar.
