LANTIN, Pedro José Sartorelli et al. Challenges of team management according to hospital health professionals. Rev. Psicol., Organ. Trab. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.4, pp.1691-1697. ISSN 1984-6657. https://doi.org/10.5935/rpot/2021.4.22137.
The present study focuses on health professionals on the front line against COVID-19, regarding their impressions about labor relations in a public hospital in southern Brazil. Argumentative analysis was carried out on in-depth interviews taken with 31 professionals between June and September 2020. Positive and negative impressions emerged about their teams and about the institution's management. The results point to the risk of demotivation due to restriction of participation in decisions and lack of incentives, and that the hospital workers want to be heard before management makes decisions. Moreover, support in the work team has eased the stressful routine, showing that companionship is a characteristic to be cultivated, especially in teams that have a routine surrounded by multiple stressors.
