Abstract

This thesis deals with the work of civil police officers in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, analyzed from the perspective of the concept of work that the International Labor Organization (ILO) named Decent work. Recognition of the importance of work and the worker, in a context of sustainability and social responsibility, led the ILO to build the central concept of this study. Considering the relevance of the theme nowadays, the ILO's decent work was included among the 8 (eight) Millennium Development Goals (MDG), which were stipulated by the UN member countries in the year 2000, and among the 17 (seventeen) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as priorities until 2030. It is therefore relevant and opportune to study the work environment in police organizations, from the perspective of the ILO, defining as the central problem of this research the existence of convergence between the perception of context of police work, by the civil police officers of RS, Brazil, and the indicators that make up the ILO's concept of decent work.
