SAMPAIO, Mara Elaine de Castro. The perception of entrepreneurs of quality of work life beginners in São Paulo state. Rev. bras. psicodrama [online]. 2015, vol.23, n.1, pp. 06-13. ISSN 0104-5393.

This paper reflects on the perception of the Quality of Work Life (QWL) of entrepreneurs working with technological incubation projects in São Paulo State. For entrepreneurs, starting up their own business relates to the pursuit of pleasure at work. The choice of becoming an entrepreneur leads to an increase their working hours and neglect their health and leisure needs. For this exploratory-descriptive, qualitative and quantitative research the BPSO-96 questionnaire was applied with four focus groups. According to its findings, entrepreneurs were satisfied with the organizational and psychological aspects of their QWL and they attribute to QWL a sense of personal fulfillment due to developing their own business successfully. A new category of habitability was identified in relation to QWL, which is linked to the setting where the company is being set up.

Keywords : Quality of Work Life; Entrepreneurs; Work; Habitability; People management.
