O impacto do clima organizacional na saúde mental dos colaboradores

Abstract

Studies indicate that a positive climate contributes to reducing stress and improving productivity, while a negative environment can increase the risk of problems such as burnout and depression. Understanding these dynamics is crucial to creating strategies that promote healthy and sustainable work environments. There has been a growing focus on how organizational climate can serve as both a risk factor and a facilitator of a healthy and productive work environment. The research problem is to evaluate how organizational climate can impact the mental health of employees. It arises from the growing concern about psychological wellbeing in the workplace and the lack of understanding about how aspects of organizational climate, such as culture, communication and leadership practices, influence the mental health of employees. The research aims to fill this gap by analyzing how different aspects of organizational climate affect stress and job satisfaction. The overall objective is to analyze the impact of organizational climate on the mental health of employees. This work carries out an integrative review of the literature to investigate the impact of organizational climate on the mental health of employees. The results indicated that a positive organizational climate, characterized by open communication, adequate recognition, and leadership support, is strongly associated with reduced stress and increased job satisfaction. In contrast, environments with unclear expectations, perceived injustices, and inadequate support were related to increased burnout and dissatisfaction. These findings suggest that management practices aimed at improving the work environment can be effective in promoting employee mental health and increasing productivity.
