Resumo
The Psychology of Working Theory (PWT) emphasizes the sociocultural, economic and political factors that influence the distribution of resources and possibilities for all people who work and want to work with attention to those neglected from privilege of choices in their experiences and career decisions. This doctoral thesis sought through four studies to introduce the Psychology of Working Theory in Brazil. The first study presents the PWT, demonstrating itsrelevance in the scenario of career theories, as well as highlighting its relevance in the current configurations of the world of work and the brazilian context. Given the various variables studied by the PWT, job volition seems to be relevant since, according to the authors, job choices are conceived as a basic premise in most career studies to date. The second study investigated, through a integrative review, what has been studied and published in national and international academic literature on Working Psychology. The results did not find national publications based on the theory, however, they indicate that from 2019 onwards there was a significant growth of publications in the international scope, concentrated on the quantitative method with elaborations and adaptations of scales related to the constructs of the theory, partial empirical evidence of the theoretical model and in authorship and the reality of work in the North American context. In this sense, the third article adapted and raised initial psychometric evidence for the brazilian context of the Work Volition Scale (WVS). The results showed positive evidence of content validity, internal and external structure, as well as accuracy indicators that corroborate the use of the adapted version in Brazilian Portuguese. The fourth study adapted the Scales of Economic Constraints, Experiences of Marginalization in Life and Satisfaction of Work Needs to the social and cultural context of Brazil, in addition to testing the complete PWT model in brazilian workers. The results indicate positive evidence for the adaptation of the scales and, mainly, demonstrate findings that support, almost entirely, the original proposition of PWT in the brazilian context, supporting the transcultural validity of the theory. In contrast to the model, non-significant results were found when we observed that marginalization was not shown to be a predictor of work volition and did not mediate the volition relationship between marginalization and decent work. Finally, the limitations of these studies are discussed, as well as suggestions for future research and strategies for protective measures and support for Brazilian workers in the field of professional and career guidance, as well as public policies. The approach of PWT to the brazilian context proved to be a contribution of this thesis, however, a lot of scientific and practical effort is still needed to reduce inequalities and in search of social justice.
