SILVA, Rogério Rodrigues da. An analysis of the pressure at work, the liberty and the social support in servants of a court of justice. Cad. psicol. soc. trab. [online]. 2009, vol.12, n.1, pp.123-135. ISSN 1516-3717.

The article is concerned with the level of stress in servants of a court of justice, through the analysis of the pressure at work, the level of liberty at work and the social support. The instrument applied was the job stress reduced scale, validated in Brazil. The questionnaires were administrated to 131 men and 134 women. The results point to three questions. The first is that there is a moderated level of pressure and liberty perception at work. The second points to excellent relationship among partners and managers, which is independent of gender and the position occupied. The last one points to the fact that the pressure at work, although moderated, is higher in managers, who are more liable to the political and power games of the organization than those who do not occupy this position.
