Motivação e Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho: Estudo em uma empresa da construção civil na cidade de Bananeiras PB

Abstract

Motivation and job satisfaction are fundamental elements for organizational performance and employee well-being, especially in dynamic contexts such as construction sites. In the case of the Alteza Condo Resort, a high-standard development under construction in the city of Bananeiras, Paraíba, by the construction company Conserpa & Enger, the objective is to understand the factors that influence employee motivation, as these are essential to ensure project quality and harmony in the workplace. This qualitative study aims to investigate these factors through a structured questionnaire based on the theories of Maslow (1943), Herzberg (1959), and Walton (1973), complemented by participant observation. The analysis integrates employees’ perceptions of recognition, growth, achievement, and quality of work life, providing an in-depth and contextualized view of the elements shaping motivation in the daily routine of the project. The results indicated a pleasant level of satisfaction and motivation among workers and the organization’s management. Regarding Quality of Work Life (QWL), it was found that the company offers adequate safety conditions, a healthy environment, and harmonious interpersonal relationships, although balancing personal and professional life remains a challenge. However, the absence of a formal career plan was observed, which may limit long-term motivation and professional development. Overall, it was found that motivated workers demonstrate greater productivity and commitment, contributing to organizational performance and a positive work climate.
