Vínculos de comprometimento, entrincheiramento e consentimento do indivíduo com a organização: explorando seus antecedentes e consequentes

Abstract

This paper aims to develop a model that analyzes the influences of organizational values on organizational commitment, entrenchment and consent, as antecedent variable, and work performance, as a consequent variable. In order to reach the goal outlined, a research of an exploratory and conclusive descriptive and explanatory nature was carried out, using a mixed, quantitative and qualitative approach. Thus, the research was structured and two phases: phase I - quantitative and phase II - qualitative. In the first phase, the data were collected from the application of a closed questionnaire, which integrated questions related to commitment, entrenchment and consent, organizational values and work performance. For the quantitative data, the data analysis was performed using the structural equation modeling technique. In the second phase, the data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the managers. The analysis of the qualitative data was carried out using the technique of content analysis. The results allowed to identify which systems of different values determine the establishment of each organizational ties, and a larger set of values is understood by the managers as associated to the commitment ties. When testing the influences between the constructs, it was verified that the dimensions concern with the collectivity, autonomy, dominance and well-being are organizational values with power to explain, in parts, the tie of commitment. Yet, it has been observed that well-being is a predictor of the tie of entrenchment and the realization and mastery of consent. On the consequent, it was verified that the commitment and consent were able to explain the performance of the individual in the work, being the entrenchment did not present significant relation of influence with this construct. The interviews allowed to indicate that the performance of the compromised individual is considerably different from the type of performance triggered by entrenched or consenting workers. It was observed that the concept of what is a "good worker" resembles characteristics that explain the notion of the tie of commitment. The denominations assigned by managers for each ties reveal an active sense for the characteristics of being compromised, a pejorative sense for being entrenched, and a passive sense for consent. It is hoped that the results of this study contribute to the progress of the theoretical and conceptual design of the different ties developed by the worker with his organization.
