“…Before planning the intervention, the researchers consulted the Brazilian literature on tests of interventions in work design and, more broadly, in organizations. The survey resulted in few works reporting interventions in organizations (Araujo, Busnardo, Marchiori, Lima, & Endlich, 2002;Isosaki, Cardoso, Glina, Pustiglione, & Rocha, 2011;Neiva & Paz, 2012;Pereira & Santos, 2012;Ribeiro, Martins, & Mossini, 2012;Santos, Fanganiello, Paparelli, & Oliveira, 2008), or in work design (Carrión, López, & Gutiérrez, 2015;Guimarães, Mauro, Mendes, Melo, & Costa, 2005;Lavarda & Lavarda, 2015;Marçal & Filho, 2004). The existing works are mainly based on qualitative methods (Araujo et al, 2002;Murta & Tróccoli, 2004;Pereira & Santos, 2012;Ribeiro et al, 2012), except for Neiva and Paz (2012), with cross-sectional designs.…”
