Tecnologias para qualidade de vida no trabalho: um estudo prospectivo

Abstract

This study focuses on Quality of Work Life (QWL) and was commissioned by the Human Development Center, linked to the Superintendency of Tax Management Development in the region of the Southern Tax Administration Directorate – DAT/SUL, in Vitória da Conquista, Bahia. Its objective is to identify technologies related to QWL that have patent protection requests or are already patented and applicable to the NDSH. The research has exploratory goals, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, including procedures for bibliographic review in scientific databases and patent prospecting on specialized platforms. The methodology consisted of three main stages: a review of the scientific literature, identification of patents related to QWL, followed by the analysis of collected data to synthesize information on promising technologies. The triangulation of these methods provided a comprehensive understanding of existing and patented solutions. The results highlight significant advancements at the intersection of technology and quality of work life. The literature review identified innovative approaches and emerging trends, while the patent prospecting revealed relevant and patented technologies. The conclusion reached is that the integration of innovative technologies can effectively contribute to promoting quality of work life. The practical guidelines derived from this research offer valuable insights for the effective selection and integration of these technologies, addressing the specific demands of NDSH and potentially similar organizations.
