A influência da Sobrequalificação e da Aprendizagem sobre a Satisfação do Indivíduo no Trabalho

Abstract

The purpose of this work was to check the influence of overqualification and individual's learning at work about their satisfaction. In order to achieve this objective, a survey was conducted that featured a final sample of 238 observations. The hypotheses held negative influence of overqualification and exploitation learning on satisfaction. Another hypothesis presented the positive influence of the exploration learning on satisfaction. Before the hypotheses checking, the scales were subjected to exploratory factor analysis and their internal consistency and dimensionality were assessed. With the construct validity and consistency of measurements guaranteed, the Multiple Regression Analysis was applied to test the hypotheses. Results showed, as expected, that overqualification and exploration learning influence the satisfaction indeed, but the exploitation learning does not influence satisfaction, as supported by the third hypothesis.

Perceived Overqualification and Job Attitudes of Public Servants

“…Undesirable consequences of overqualification have also been reported among Brazilian workers. It has been negatively associated with job satisfaction Maciel & Camargo, 2013;Weymer et al, 2014) and cooperative behavior and turnover intention (Maciel & Camargo, 2013). Perceived overqualification and job satisfaction were also negatively associated among home office workers, but non-significant results were found for conventional workers (Gonçalves, 2021).…”

“…The lack of management of public servants' surplus qualifications (apparent or emergent) leads to the perception of overqualification, which can affect individuals' performance and well-being by reducing job satisfaction (Arvan et al, 2019;Maciel & Camargo, 2013;Weymer et al, 2014;Wassermann et al, 2017) and life satisfaction (Allan et al, 2020;Erdogan et al, 2018;Wassermann & Hoppe, 2019), and increasing depression (Allan et al, 2020) and counterproductive behaviors (Kim et al, 2021;Liu et al, 2015). These undesirable outcomes will be translated into poor quality services for the northern Brazilian population.…”
