As características do trabalho e bem estar

: o papel moderador do clima de comunicação organizacional

Abstract

The organizational climate and, in particular, the communication climate have aroused strong interest from researchers in recognizing its impact on people's performance. In the present study, with a sample of 211 Portuguese workers, employed in the most diverse areas and sectors of the market, the current study aimed to understand whether the organizational communication climate could have a moderating effect on the relationship between job characteristics (i.e., demands and autonomy) and well-being atwork (i.e., engagement and burnout). As expected, demands at work had a positive and significant relationship with burnout, while autonomy at work had a negative and significant relationship with burnout. However, contrary to expectations, in the present study, no empirical support was found for the existence of a relationship between autonomy and engagement and the moderating effect of the organizational communication climate in the relationship between job characteristics and well-being at work. Despite this, as expected, there was a positive and significant relationship between autonomy at work and engagement.
