Percepções dos colaboradores do sistema cooperativista frente à saúde mental: um estudo de caso em uma cooperativa de crédito na cidade de Bagé/RS

Abstract

The advance of technology has brought many benefits to human beings, but it has also created some difficulties. As a result, many jobs have been eliminated, leading to unemployment. One sector that has been directly affected, when not remodeled, is the financial system. A category known for facing psychological and physical problems due to the workload, now they also have to deal with the fear of unemployment. On the other hand, the so-called credit unions have been growing and demystifying the incessant search for goals through their strategic model influenced by the purposes of cooperativism. With these points in mind, the present study aimed to study the perceptions of the employees of a credit cooperative located in the city of Bagé/RS regarding mental health. With the application of the questionnaire it was possible to conclude that the employees consider it important to address issues about mental health and stress at work, and they also feel that the cooperative shows care and concern for their lives.
