TELES, Helena Mafalda Martins; RAMALHO, Nélson Alves; RIBEIRO, Sónia Mafalda Pereira y RAMALHO, Vanda Sofia Braz. Levels of stress and engagement work of Social Workers in Portugal. Estud. psicol. (Natal) [online]. 2019, vol.24, n.3, pp.258-268. ISSN 1413-294X. https://doi.org/10.22491/1678-4669.20190027.
This article intended to know stress and engagement work levels that social workers in Portugal were exposed to. A survey was answered by 1369 professionals. Perceived Stress Scale and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale were used in the construction of the questionnaire. The results point to a median level of work stress and engagement, which may be a sign of satisfactory levels of well-being. We also found that as perceived stress increases the engagement of these professionals decrease. Significant connections between these variables and the earned salary emerged.
