A vulnerabilidade ao estresse apresentada pelo policial militar diante do clima organizacional da Corporação

Abstract

The present work sought to verify the elements of the organizational climate and its relations with possible traces of stress present in the BOPE (Special Police Operations Battalion) military police and the 22nd BPM (Military Police Battalion) of the PMSC (Military Police of Santa Catarina). Through the application of the EVENT (Occupational Stress Vulnerability Scale) questionnaire and interviews, the work collected qualitative and quantitative data from a sample of 155 active duty military officers, between Officers and Squares. Data analysis revealed higher percentages of BOPE military officers in the upper and upper medium levels of stress in relation to climate and organizational functioning. The police that work in the operational activities, presented higher levels of stress, when compared to those of the administrative activity. Women tend to have higher levels of stress compared to men in the 22nd BPM, as the Squares present higher levels of stress in both units, 22nd BPM and BOPE, compared to the Officers. In view of these and other results presented during the course of the work, it can be seen that police activities need attention not only from military managers, but also from public policies of the State, since this is a work of great importance whose nature demands not only physically but emotionally of those who are part of it.
