Ações sustentáveis na Universidade Federal de Santa Maria: uma análise da percepção dos colaboradores terceirizados no campus de Palmeira das Missões

Abstract

This study was developed for the undergraduate Business Administration course at the Federal University of Santa Maria, Palmeira das Missões campus. The question that guided this study was: “What is the perception of sustainable practices in the view of outsourced employees at the Federal University of Santa Maria - Palmeira das Missões campus?”. To meet the proposed objective, the study was carried out with outsourced employees, the company has 36 employees and of these 24 participated as respondents to this study. To achieve these objectives and answer the guiding question, a bibliographic research was initially carried out to study the theory, where it was defined that this research is an exploratory field research. Subsequently, data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews and content analysis. Regarding the perception of employees in relation to sustainable actions, it was found that having or not knowing about sustainability actions is due to the interest in the projects of the institution that works. It is a variable that has no relation to salary, length of experience at the institution or academic training. It is directly linked to the employee's personal interest. Based on the study carried out, it is proposed to make improvements in what already exists in the institution. About the physical structure, it is proposed to carry out a walkway between the buildings and the UK, interconnecting all of them. Integration projects between contractors and servers are also suggested. Finally, in the educational area, there is the challenge of including outsourced employees in the educational processes of the socio-environmental area with the implementation of specific training for this audience.
