Abstract There are some instruments in the literature to measure job insecurity, including the Job Insecurity Scale (JIS). The article's objective is to present the JIS psychometric properties and the validation of the scale for the Brazilian and Portuguese populations in higher education. 335 workers from public universities participated, 171 of which were technicians and 164 were professors. Confirmatory analysis, group comparisons, and reliability estimates were used. The results indicate an acceptable fit for the JIS and prove that Portuguese and Brazilian workers have statistically significant differences in the quantitative dimension of the JIS. The instrument is a valid measure for assessing the perception of insecurity among workers at public universities but requires care when using it in comparative studies between countries.

With the purpose of analyzing the trajectory traced by historiography regarding the history of workers in Brazil from 1930 onwards, this study reflects on the exploitation, struggles, and achievements of workers in their workplaces. Simultaneously, it aims to highlight the experiences and perspectives of workers in the city of Bragança, in the state of Pará, who were not left on the sidelines of this social context. The article emphasizes the importance of these individuals for agricultural and economic development, fundamental elements for the urban growth of Bragança. In the composition of this work, primary sources such as official documents, letters, newspapers, legislative projects, and court orders were used, enabling an understanding of the profile of both the city of Bragança and its workers. Through these sources, it was possible to identify the workers from Bragança and comprehend their daily lives within the Brazilian social context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) established a public health emergency due to the disease caused by the etiological agent SARS-CoV-2. Social isolation has strongly altered people's routine, changing patterns of physical activity and sedentary behavior. The aim of this study was to assess the level of physical activity and sedentary behavior of workers at a private higher education institution during the COVID-19 pandemic. The average sitting time during a weekday and a weekend day was approximately eight and nine hours respectively; 65% stated that there was a reduction in the practice of physical activity and an increase in sitting time during the pandemic; 22% were classified as physically inactive; 9% as insufficiently active; and 68% as physically active.

Due to concern about how the pandemic would impact violence against women and the complexity involved in this problem, the objective of this study is to understand the experience of workers at Delegacia Especializada no Atendimento à Mulher (DEAM) during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a qualitative, exploratory, and cross-sectional study carried out with semi-structured interviews with police officers from DEAMs and analyzed using thematic analysis. As a result, three main themes and ten sub themes related to institutional, social, and pandemic aspects emerged. Highlighted are (a) the importance of the work environment for health and job satisfaction and (b) the impact of COVID-19 safety measures on institutional functioning. From the analysis of the interviews, it is concluded that there is still a need for greater investment by the State in terms of personnel and legislative effectiveness and the specialized network. In this way, workers might have adequate working conditions for respectful and effective care.

Occupational self-efficacy is a person's belief that he can perform behaviors relevant to his job. This study is an integrative review that aimed to investigate the concept of occupational self-efficacy in order to learn about important characteristics on the subject and to broaden the understanding of the concept. The adopted method followed six stages: 1) identification of the theme and selection of the research question; 2) establishment of inclusion and exclusion criteria; 3) identification of pre-selected and selected studies; 4) categorization of selected studies; 5) analysis and interpretation of results; and 6) presentation of the knowledge review/synthesis. The databases consulted were Web of Science, Lilacs, PubMed, Scielo, Scopus, PsycINFO and Pepsic, considering the entire publication period. The results presented show correlations between occupational self-efficacy and several psychosocial indicators at work, such as motivation, engagement, satisfaction, health and well-being. Instruments for measuring this construct can be used to support interventions in the field of Psychology and in the context of work. Organizations can promote the development of selfefficacy beliefs among workers in order to prepare them for their activities, contributing to the development of people and the organization itself, such interventions may be conducted by professionals in the field of psychology.

This article analyzes the participation of social actors in Mercosur's Working Subgroup No. 10 on labor, employment, and social security issues (SGT 10), from 1995 to 2019. In the first stage of analysis the study examined the social actors in the four founding states in Mercosur. In the second, the approach focused on four social actors that represent workers and business from the two main participating states, Argentina and Brazil. The research used document and content analysis and descriptive statistics. It found that: (i) there was a reduction in the participation of social actors in SGT 10 in the period analyzed; and (ii) the SGT 10 agenda was permeable to the interests of the four selected social actors, according to the analysis of the proposals approved in this subgroup.

Abstract Job crafting is characterized by worker’s proactive behavior aiming to give meaning and significance to their work relations, allowing the individual to assume a leading role by acting as an agent of change. The study aimed to gather evidence of validity for the Job Crafting Hierarchical Scale in Brazil. Study sample consisted of 675 Brazilian workers of both genders, aged between 18 and 82 years. Confirmatory Factor Analysis pointed out that the 18-item model, divided into four reflective factors (increase in resources, increase in challenging demands, reduction in demands, and optimization of demands) and one formative factor (job crafting) presented the best adjustment indexes. Results showed a positive correlation with work engagement and a negative correlation with work exhaustion. In conclusion, the instrument presented psychometric properties that recommend its use in future investigations on job crafting in the Brazilian context.

The 1924 Revolt in São Paulo relied on the immense participation of workers. According to the analyses of the legal process against the rebels was possible to attest that the civilians were numerically superior to the mutinous military and police. In addition to the civilians who composed the organized working class, there were those who chose enlistment in the revolting forces as a possibility of sustenance opposing hunger and those who spontaneously joined the popular protest, which promoted looting and intentional burning of factories and warehouses. This data drives us to review the definitions of the "tenentism" concept, which focuses on the agency of the military who hold the lieutenant rank and obscure all other groups that were involved in the movement.

The gold mining village of Santo Antônio da Jacobina, located in the hinterlands of the Captaincy of Bahia, was built in 1722 due to the discovery of alluvial gold in the Itapicuru River basin. Mining brought about a significant change in the region's economy by attracting individuals from various social backgrounds and ethnic origins to the mines. Mining activities using pans in the village's streams caused a noticeable environmental transformation, as it altered the landscape that was predominantly composed of agricultural properties. The aim of this article is to analyze the asymmetrical dependencies and social hierarchies in the village of Jacobina based on the registry list of free and enslaved workers during the mining dates recorded between 1720 and 1723. The social conditions and qualities attributed to these individuals will serve as a starting point for understanding the processes of social hierarchy formation that took place in that society.

This article consists of the analysis of temporary labour in the coffee plantations of the Planalto da Conquista in the 1970s and 1980s. It also aims to explain theoretically how temporary labour was constituted with the advance of capitalism in the countryside and present some characteristics of this labour modality giving voice to workers who would experience the intermittency of labour in the region. In addition to a bibliographic review by authors such as Singer (1977), Bastos and Gonzales (1977), D'incao (1984), among others, field research was also used, which was fundamental for collecting testimonials from people who experienced these changes and who were subjected to temporary labour in coffee farms in the Planalto da Conquista.

The working conditions and most of all the way of recruiting the “rubber soldiers” in the National Rubber Campaign happened with the Special Service for the Mobilization of Workers for the Amazon (SEMTA) needs to be historically analyzed and carefully understood although it is not part of an impacting economic deal of the Second World War period, and did not bring development to the Amazon once this was an exclusively extractive activity. Thousands of male northeastern workers were allured to the rubber plantations fleeing from the devastating dry seasons, recruitment to war and starvation with the promise of riches and wealth. Through the narratives of the life stories of these men we will try to bring light upon one of the ignored pages of social history of the northeastern workers from the north of Ceará, Brazil.

The growing organization of the working class between the 1950s and the 1960s is considered one of the factors that triggered the 1964 civil-military coup. Among urban workers, the railway class was severely repressed by the State and the Federal Railway Network: austerity, changes in labor legislation, control of the union movement and surveillance in the workshops. To fight against the systematic loss of rights, railroad workers on the Leopoldina Railway appealed to the Labor Court. This article seeks to analyze the impacts of the civil-military dictatorship on daily work, and the struggle of railroad workers in justice for the guarantee of their labor rights.

Presentation to Dossier "Worlds of construction: experiences, organisation, and struggles"

This article analyzes the formation and transformations in the identities of São Paulo’s peripheries dwellers in recent decades. Our proposal here is that identity must be understood in a relational and historical way. Thus, it is sewn together with discourses, practices, and processes that produce subjectivities. The paper is based on an ethnographic work carried out in two neighborhoods on the outskirts of São Paulo. It is argued that, in the 1970s and 1980s, the identity of “workers” was formed in contrast to that of “bosses” and “bandits”. This identity was the basis of a collective project to integrate workers into the wage society and the world of citizenship rights. After the productive restructuring and social changes in the 1990s and 2000s, this identity disintegrated and gave way to the identity of “peripherals”. This new identity was built in cultural mobilization around cultural movements and collectives in opposition to the “elites” and in response to the stigma that these regions suffer from.

Sanitation policies aim to improve and maintain well-being in society. In Brazil, work in companies within this context may include environmental education as an opportunity to raise populational awareness about the preservation of water resources. Thus, this research aimed to characterize environmental education for sanitation and to understand the role of educators in the light of the emancipatory model. It is an exploratory and qualitative study performed at Santa Catarina's Water and Sanitation State Company. Environmental education activities were accompanied and interviews were carried with 19 workers responsible for these activities, called environmental multipliers. The characteristics of the activities were recorded through a field diary and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The interviews were recorded and the data were submitted to content analysis through the Atlas.ti software, version 7.5.7. Results led to identify characteristics from activities, visitors and participants. The identified categories demonstrated that the performance of environmental multipliers is understood by their development, relationship with main activities, competences, impacts on visitors and evaluation of the environmental education carried out. Such performance is partially congruent with critical and emancipatory environmental education. Opportunities were identified for the engagement of workers in environmentally responsible activities.

Objective: The objective of the research is to analyze whether the representation of workers in companies can validate collective bargaining in the same way as unions? What is the role of this commission in Brazil? Methodology: the methodology used is deductive, as for the means, the research was bibliographic, using doctrine, legislation, ILO Convention. As for the purposes, the research was qualitative. Results: The article analyzes the need for a constructive and democratic interpretation to enable the representation of workers effectively in our country. Contributions: The workers' representation institute received ILO treatment through Convention No. 135 and Recommendation No. 143, both from 1971. The 1988 Constitution dealt with the subject in art.11, but the practical implementation of this body did not occur. Only with the 2017 labor reform was the issue regulated, allowing its implementation in Brazilian companies. Thus, the contribution is towards presenting a solution to the phenomenon of worker representation, via constructive and democratic interpretation.
