O VALOR ORGANIZACIONAL SMS ESTUDO DE CASO EM UMA EMPRESA DE ENERGIA

Abstract

This paper addresses aspects of the change in organizational culture of a large Brazilian company's energy business. Faced with a backdrop of growing awareness of society concerning the socio-environmental issues, the company undertook a review of its organizational values and seeks to influence the development of its corporate culture. The company hopes that the concern with the HSE (Health, Safety and Environment) becomes part of the organizational culture. The objective of this study is to gather information that could assist the company in this process, specifically in the provision of resources for training on HSE. The survey sought to identify the alignment of a group of newly hired employees to the value of "Respect Life" within HSE in the company. This study gains importance by providing information about the alignment of a group of employees on a particular organizational value. The development of theories or models to identify cultural backgrounds is now a demand from companies. This theme challenges the researchers to produce work engaged in bringing answers to the practical organizational and methodological choices. We carried out a bibliometric survey and a literature review to understand the object of study and generate a theoretical reference base capable of supporting research and highlights key definitions and concepts about the themes. Through the application of closed questionnaires, qualitative variables were adjusted to represent quantitative series, allowing a more objective analysis of subjective aspects of human nature. This made it possible to measure and classify the gaps between the perception of employees and the desired behavior with respect to aspects of HSE. The results were presented graphically, showing the percentage of alignment of the group studied in relation to HSE and its subitems. We also performed a comparative analysis between the different positions surveyed. The research concluded that there are gaps between desired behaviors and perceptions as measured by employees. For the sample, it was found that the security sub-item has the highest degree of alignment, second comes the subitem environment and, finally, health. The classification of gaps allowed to conclude what should be the focus of HSE training for this group.
