Violência simbólica sob a perspectiva de gênero em funcionárias de escritórios contábeis na cidade de João Pessoa

Abstract

This research aimed to show the symbolic violence (Bourdieu) through the reports of employees who work or have worked in accounting offices in João Pessoa. To achieve this objective, interviews were conducted with a semi-structured script, with subjective questions, recorded only by audio and transcribed in full. The research is classified as descriptive, with a qualitative approach. The research sample consists of five interviewees, with a maximum age of 26 years, with at least two years of experience in accounting and who have never held leadership positions. The criteria for choosing the interviewees was accessibility. The results of this research show that all employees, even in intermediate positions, suffered and / or witnessed in different proportions and were impacted by symbolic violence, sometimes naturalized and sometimes recognized; and, on some occasions, they were factors that hindered their relationship with work. Only one gave examples of the glass ceiling phenomenon to the other interviewees, they were unable to explain. They are in the stage of developing their career. Most are postponing motherhood to the detriment of career development, although one expressed not having the desire to become a mother.
