According to Muchinsky (2000), the activity in which
humans are most involved in their lives is work. Thus, there is an increasing
trend towards the humanization of work. Consequently, it is imperative to study
the best ways to manage human resources in 21st-century organizations. The main
objective of this study is to understand the influence that psychosocial risks
in the workplace may have on the personal lives of employees in a Higher
Education Institution (HEI), through the application of the Portuguese version
of COPSOQ II. Both exploratory and confirmatory statistical analyses were conducted
on the results to determine if factors related to work could influence aspects
of personal life. It was concluded that great importance is given to employment
and that factors related to the professional realm can indeed influence
dimensions of these employees' personal lives. Among other things, it was
observed that, in the case of the analyzed HEI, cognitive demands directly
impact job satisfaction, quantitative demands have direct effects on
work-family conflict, and job satisfaction directly influences somatic and
cognitive stress. On the other hand, it was found that work-family conflict is
primarily influenced by quantitative demands, highlighting the importance of a
well-balanced distribution of workload among employees and the definition of concrete
objectives.
