This article analyzes the influence of burnout syndrome on healthcare professionals’ organizational commitment. The extant literature debates the conceptual independence of burnout and organizational commitment. This study contributes to the debate by empirically validating the independence of the two constructs and analyzing the relationship between burnout and three different dimensions of organizational commitment. The analyzed population was formed by doctors and nurses working directly with patients and their families from organizations located in Montes Claros, in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. Data was collected using an adapted Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) scale (Maslach & Jackson, 1987) and the organizational commitment scale (Meyer et al., 1993), and analyzed using variance-based structural equation modeling. The results suggest that burnout and organizational commitment are independent constructs. Also, it was observed that burnout syndrome negatively affects the employee’s affective and calculative commitment to the organization, whereas there was no evidence of a negative relationship between burnout and normative commitment. Implications for theory development and organizational practice are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes the relationship between quality of working life (QWL) and physical activity, considering that physical activity has been identified as one of the triggering factors of QWL. A descriptive-quantitative survey was conducted at a federal public education institution. The sample of this study consisted of 336 federal civil servants. Data were collected through a questionnaire applied via e-mail between May and April 2016. The results showed that there are no statistically significant differences when comparing levels of physical activity and QWL for the civil servants researched. This indicates that organizational programs involving physical activities may not have the expected impact on QWL. This study provides practical contributions, as it provides data on the QWL of civil servants at the studied institution. The institution can carry out actions and QWL programs based on these differences. As a suggestion for future studies, qualitative and quantitative research can be carried out, using a probabilistic methodology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Organizational commitment can be considered a strategic and decisive factor in organizations. This paper aims to describe and compare the configuration of organizational commitment in a Higher Technical Education Institution and a Teaching and Research Foundation, both from Minas Gerais. A questionnaire was used based on Allen & Meyer's (1990) commitment scale and at the end of the instrument four open questions to understand organizations' perceptions of commitment. The results showed that the affective basis has higher perception in the Teaching Institution in comparison to the Foundation that has the highest average in the calculative base. The low adherence of the affective commitment in the case of the Foundation can indicate problems that deserve attention of the management of people of this organization with a view to losses of personnel and discontinuity of services. It should be emphasized that the open questions contributed to the undressing of the diagnosis proposed by the questionnaire, indicating the reasons for the affective and calculative impairment perceived in the organizations. Implications, limitations and suggestions are discussed in the article. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
