ABSTRACT

Objective: This study examines factors predicting self-reported voice symptoms in call center workers. Methods: Multivariate analysis and predictive modeling assess personal, work-related, acoustic, and behavioral factors. Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves are employed. Results: Age and sleep patterns impacted voice quality and effort, while workplace factors influenced symptom perception. Unhealthy vocal behaviors related to tense voice and increased effort, while hydration was protective. Voice acoustics showed diagnostic potential, supported by ROC data. These findings emphasize voice symptom complexity in call center professionals, necessitating comprehensive assessment. Limitations: This study recognizes its limitations, including a moderate-sized convenience sample and reliance on PROM metrics. Future research should incorporate more objective measures in addition to self-reports and acoustic analysis. Value: This research provides novel insights into the interplay of personal, occupational, and voice-related factors in developing voice symptoms among call center workers. Predictive modeling enhances risk assessment and understanding of individual susceptibility to voice disorders. Conclusion: Results show associations between various factors and self-reported voice symptoms. Protective factors include sleeping more than six hours and consistent hydration, whereas risk factors include working conditions, such as location and behaviors like smoking. Diagnostic models indicate good accuracy for some voice symptom PROMs, emphasizing the need for comprehensive models considering work factors, vocal behaviors, and acoustic parameters to understand voice issues complexity.


Objetivo: Este estudio examina los factores que predicen los síntomas de voz en los trabajadores de call centers. Métodos: Se utilizan análisis multivariados y modelos predictivos para evaluar factores personales, laborales, acústicos y de comportamiento. Se emplean Modelos Lineales Generalizados (GLM) y curvas ROC. Resultados: La edad y los patrones de sueño afectaron la calidad vocal y el esfuerzo, mientras que los factores laborales influyeron en la percepción de síntomas. Los comportamientos vocales no saludables se relacionaron con voz tensa y mayor esfuerzo, mientras que la hidratación fue protectora. Los parámetros acústicos de voz mostraron potencial diagnóstico respaldado por datos de ROC. Los hallazgos subrayan complejidad de síntomas vocales en profesionales de centros de llamadas, requiriendo una evaluación integral. Limitaciones: Este estudio reconoce sus limitaciones, que incluyen una muestra de conveniencia de tamaño moderado y la dependencia de medidas PROMs. Futuras investigaciones deberían incorporar medidas objetivas, además de los autorreportes y análisis acústico. Importancia: Esta investigación aporta nuevos conocimientos sobre factores personales, laborales y síntomas de voz en trabajadores de call centers. El modelado predictivo mejora la evaluación de riesgos y la comprensión de la susceptibilidad individual a trastornos de la voz. Conclusión: Los resultados muestran asociaciones entre diversos factores y los síntomas vocales reportados. Los factores de protección incluyen dormir más de seis horas y una hidratación constante; los factores de riesgo incluyen las condiciones de trabajo, como la ubicación y comportamientos como fumar. Los modelos de diagnóstico indican una buena precisión para algunas PROMs de síntomas de la voz, lo que subraya la necesidad de modelos integrales que tengan en cuenta los factores laborales, los comportamientos vocales y los parámetros acústicos para comprender la complejidad de los problemas de la voz.

ABSTRACT

Patient satisfaction is one of the core indicators to measure the service quality of medical institutions. To this end, a multi-campus public hospital in Shanghai constructed a management system of patient satisfaction evaluation. Since 2021, its call center has conducted a full coverage satisfaction assessment for discharged patients from its three campuses and collected dissatisfaction information feedback. The hospital organized relevant clinical departments and functional departments to fully communicate with the dissatisfied patients according to the feedback information, followed by a joint rectification. The hospital regularly conducts in-depth analysis of all complaints for timely discovery of common problems in different campuses for continuous improvement. This practice can provide reference for multi-campus hospitals to promote homogeneous management, to improve management efficiency, service quality and patient satisfaction.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste artigo é sustentar a hipótese de uma precariedade subjetiva como face fundamental do fenômeno da terceirização. Para isso, primeiramente foi desenvolvido o argumento de que o fenômeno da terceirização precisa ser compreendido como parte de um processo histórico mais amplo, caracterizado pela transformação do modo de produção fordista no de produção flexível. Numa segunda parte, analisou-se o fenômeno da terceirização em um setor específico do mundo do trabalho, qual seja, dos trabalhadores de telemarketing e call center ou, como serão chamados, dos teleatendentes. Para isso foi realizada revisão bibliográfica de livros e artigos, bem como de uma análise documental com base nos arquivos do Departamento de Saúde do Sindicato dos Trabalhadores em Telecomunicações do Rio de Janeiro (Sinttel Rio) e em dados da Previdência Social do Brasil. Visa-se nesse momento compreender a lógica de funcionamento das empresas terceirizadas desse setor, assim como as relações entre trabalho e adoecimento, próprias desse campo de atividade. Por fim, numa última parte, foram analisadas relações existentes entre terceirização e precariedade subjetiva, que se evidencia, conforme nossa análise, pela fragmentação dos laços sociais, pelo crescimento do assédio moral, pelo medo da exclusão, pela extrema vigilância, pela falta de autonomia, pelo individualismo competitivo e pela impotência


The purpose of this article is to support the hypothesis of a subjective precariousness as the main side of the outsourcing phenomenon. To do this, firstly we developed the argument that the outsourcing phenomenon should be analyzed as part of a larger historical process, characterized by the transformation of the Fordist mode of production into the flexible one. In the second part, we presented an analysis of the outsourcing phenomenon in a specific sector of the labor market, which is the telemarketing and call center operators, or as we call, the telemarketers. In order to do this, we performed a literature review of books and articles, as well as a documentary analysis based on the files of the Health Department of the Telecommunications Laborer's Union from Rio de Janeiro (Sinttel-Rio) and on data from the Brazilian Social Security database. In this part, we aimed to understand the operating logic of the outsourced companies in this sector, and the relation between work and illness, typical of this field of activity. In the last part, we analyzed the correspondence between outsourcing and subjective insecurity, which according to our analysis is evident in fragmentation of social bonds, growth of psychological harassment, fear of exclusion, extreme vigilance, lack of autonomy, competitive individualism and impotence

ABSTRACT

O trabalho em call centers cresce em volume e importância na economia brasileira, enquanto elo entre empresas e clientes a favor da competitividade. Esse ramo de serviços proporciona elevada oferta de emprego, mas é acompanhado de altos índices de rotatividade, potencial demanda à atuação do psicólogo organizacional e do trabalho. Esse estudo apresenta revisão narrativa de literatura sobre rotatividade em call centers, com objetivo de identificar e sistematizar achados de pesquisas que contribuam para compreensão do problema, bem como elucidem possibilidades de intervenções sobre o mesmo na perspectiva da psicologia. Realizou-se levantamento bibliográfico temático em bases de dados digitais, especificamente na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS-Psi) e na biblioteca eletrônica SPELL (Scientific Periodicals Electronic Library), adotando-se as palavras chaves call center, telemarketing, teleatendimento, teleoperador, operador de telemarketing e teleserviço. Após seleção e análise dos estudos pertinentes aos interesses da pesquisa, estabeleceu-se as categorias temáticas que lhe foram norteadoras: o trabalho em call center e o perfil do trabalhador; a rotatividade nesse ramo de serviços, seus motivos e implicações; sua relação com a satisfação e insatisfação do trabalhador; e fatores de prazer e sofrimento no trabalho. Se faltam diretrizes à prática do psicólogo nesse contexto, evidencia-se um chamado à ação.


The work in call centers has been increasing its numbers and importance in the Brazilian economy as a link between clients and companies that favors competitiveness. This branch of service provides a great amount of job offers, but is followed by high indexes of turnover, potential demand for the work of organizational psychologists. This study shows a literature narrative review on turnover in call centers, with the objective of identifying and systemizing research findings that contribute to the understanding of the problem, as well as elucidating intervention possibilities from a psychology perspective. A themed bibliographical survey was carried out on a digital data base, specifically on BVS-Psi (Biblioteca Virtual emSaúde) and on the electronic library SPELL (Scientific Periodicals Electronic Library), using the key words call center, telemarketing, customer support, teleoperator, telemarketing operator, tele service. After selection and analysis of the pertinent studies to this research, the themed categories that guided it were established: call centers and the worker profile; the turnover in this branch of service, its motives and implications; its relationship with worker satisfaction and dissatisfaction; and pleasure and suffering factors. If there isn't enough guidance to the psychological practice in this context, a call for action becomes evident.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The purposes of this study were to investigate the degree of presenteeism, which lowers productivity when call center workers come to work with illness, and analyze the factors influencing it. METHODS: A survey was conducted for three months from July to September, 2013 to collect data. Questionnaires were distributed to 1,500 workers at 30 call centers in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, of which were 1,274 returned and analyzed for the study. RESULTS: The findings show that the call center workers scored 15.4 points out of the maximum 30 on presenteeism based on SPS-6. The study examined factors that affect the presenteeism of call center workers and identified inner emotional labor, depression, subjective health condition, age and turnover intention as those factors. Their presenteeism was low when they engaged in more inner emotional labor, and when they had a good subjective health condition. The presenteeism was high when they had a higher degree of depression, were young, and had a higher turnover intention. CONCLUSION: The findings call for a need to implement a mental health promotion program to resolve call center workers' depression at work, help them manage their emotional labor to lower their turnover intention, improve their subjective health conditions, and run a health management program to consider the uniqueness of the young age group in order to prevent their increasing presenteeism.

ABSTRACT

A elevada rotatividade e o crescimento do número de casos de transtornos mentais entre os atendentes de telemarketing é resultado do trabalho penoso a que esses trabalhadores são submetidos. Este artigo teve por objetivo analisar os fatores organizacionais e psicossociais relacionados ao estresse e sofrimento psíquico percebidos pelos atendentes de uma empresa de telemarketing. Foi aplicado um questionário de avaliação do estresse no trabalho e criou-se um grupo focal para a discussão e identificação das principais categorias relacionadas com o sofrimento psíquico desses trabalhadores. A falta de controle e a falta de autonomia foram os principais fatores de estresse e sofrimento psíquico nos dois instrumentos, tanto no quantitativo, quanto nos grupos focais (qualitativo), ambos adotados neste estudo. Na percepção dos atendentes, a falta de transparência nos critérios de promoção e reconhecimento, a precariedade do suporte e o apoio da chefia e os relacionamentos conflitantes na organização pesquisada também influenciam negativamente a saúde mental destes sujeitos.


The high turnover and the increased incidence of mental disorders among telemarketing workers result from the burdensome work they are submitted to. This article evaluated the organizational and psychosocial factors related to stress and psychic suffering perceived by the attendants of a telemarketing company. A questionnaire was used to assess stress at work and a focal group was created for the discussion and identification of key categories related to psychological distress among these workers. The lack of control and autonomy were the main factors related to stress and psychic suffering in both quantitative and qualitative instruments used in this study. In the perception of the attendants, the aspects related to career and recognition, support and leadership, relationships and peer support are relevant to the mental health of these individuals.

ABSTRACT

O crescimento do setor de serviços é uma marca da economia atual, engendrando novas formas de organização do trabalho em função das características das organizações e das relações deste segmento. Dentre as atividades que se destacam está o telesserviço, que contabiliza contingente superior a 1,2 milhão de trabalhadores, representando perspectivas de empregabilidade e inserção profissional para uma parcela importante da população. Atentando para esta realidade, esta investigação tem por objetivo analisar os impactos do trabalho sobre os operadores de call centers, avaliando especialmente os aspectos que podem ser desencadeadores de sofrimento psíquico. A partir dos norteadores teóricos da psicopatologia e da psicodinâmica do trabalho, foi realizada pesquisa exploratória, de caráter descritivo, a partir de estudo de caso em uma empresa multinacional que presta serviços para empresas de comunicação e tecnologia. A unidade regional investigada possui 1.500 posições de atendimento que realizam atividades de contato ativo e receptivo em três turnos de trabalho. Os resultados indicam que os operadores estão expostos a diversos agentes causadores de sofrimento psíquico, como pressão por produtividade, controle exacerbado e falta de autonomia para executar suas atividades. A frequente ocorrência de doenças ocupacionais e emocionais nestes trabalhadores expressa o sofrimento psíquico existente nos modos de trabalhar nos call centers, o que enseja a análise e a intervenção na organização do trabalho para que se assegure a saúde mental nestas organizações...


The growth of the service sector has marked the present economy, engendering new forms of work organization due to the characteristics of organizations and the relationships in this segment. Teleservice is among the activities that can be highlighted, with more than 1.2 million workers, representing prospects of employability and entry into the workforce for a significant number of people. Considering this reality, the intent of this investigation is to analyze the impacts of work on call center operators, particularly assessing the aspects that may trigger psychic suffering. With the theoretical guidance of Work Psychology and Work Psychopathology, a qualitative, descriptive research project was conducted, addressing a case study in a multinational firm that provides services to communication and technology companies. The regional unit investigated has 1,500 service positions performing active and receptive contact activities in three work shifts. The results indicate that the operators are exposed to various sources that cause psychic suffering, such as pressure for productivity, excessive monitoring, and lack of autonomy in performing their activities. The frequent occurrence of occupational and emotional illnesses among these workers expresses the psychic suffering experienced in call center work, which raises the need for analysis and intervention in the work organization in order to ensure mental health in such organizations...

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to investigate the association between emotional labor and dysmenorrhea among women working in sales and call centers in Seoul, South Korea. METHODS: Working women in sales jobs and call centers in Seoul were interviewed face-to-face by well-trained interviewers. In total, 975 participants were analyzed in the final model. Emotional labor was measured using a constructed questionnaire with two components: an emotive effort component with three questions and an emotive dissonance component with five questions. To examine the association between emotional labor and dysmenorrhea, chi-squared tests and logistic regression were applied. RESULTS: The prevalence of dysmenorrhea among sales workers and call center workers were 43.0% and 61.1%, respectively. The adjusted odds ratios (OR) of emotive effort and emotive dissonance for dysmenorrhea in call center workers were 1.88 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.07-3.28) and 1.72 (95% CI, 1.13-2.63), respectively. The adjusted OR of emotive effort and emotive dissonance for dysmenorrhea in sales workers were 1.71 (95% CI, 0.92-3.16) and 1.15 (95% CI, 0.67-1.98), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Emotional labor was found to be associated with dysmenorrhea in call center workers. Further studies to investigate other factors, such as management strategies and the relationship between emotional labor and dysmenorrhea, are needed to support interventions to prevent dysmenorrhea that will further promote the quality of health and life of working women.

ABSTRACT

Background: Acoustic shock injury has been described as a permanent injury to the auditory system either due to daily noise dose of in excess of 85 decibels or very loud impulse sound reputed to be in excess of 120 decibels and acoustic incidents. This study was performed to compare the results of audiogram and the newer diagnostic method distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) parameters due to acoustic shock injury in call center professionals working in a noisy environment and prone to acoustic injury. Materials and Methods: Hearing functions of 340 subjects were first assessed with pure tone audiometry and then DPOAEs results were compared among acoustic shock exposed subjects with normal audiogram and those with abnormal audiogram. Results: Out of 340 acoustic shock exposed subjects 304 were normal on audiometric testing and 34 had abnormal audiograms. Subsequently on DPOAE testing out of 304 acoustic shock exposed subjects with normal audiogram 125 failed and 181 passed. Conclusions: This study showed that DPOAEs are more sensitive than audiometry to detect pre-symptomatic inner ear damage. It may play a role as screening and monitoring test for acoustic shock-exposed workers.

ABSTRACT

O interesse na pesquisa e na intervenção em Saúde do Trabalhador e a percepção da pertinência social que a atividade em teleatendimento tem atualmente no setor produtivo instigaram esta pesquisa. Consideram-se as modificações do trabalho com o advento de novas tecnologias no contexto de globalização do capital e as formas que a atividade de trabalho em telefonia tomou. O objetivo do estudo foi apontar as relações entre os modos de gestão e o processo saúde-doença de teleoperadores, buscando investigar como se configura a organização do trabalho (modos de gestão) no campo das telecomunicações, identificar como essas características se expressam nas condições de saúde e visibilizar as políticas de recursos humanos prevalecentes. A pesquisa empírica foi realizada buscando os dados dos quatro maiores call centers sediados no Rio Grande do Sul. A coleta de dados foi realizada com entrevista, textos da página eletrônica de uma instituição de referência no setor, visita às empresas e diário de campo. A partir das análises, um outro olhar diverso do discurso organizacional permitiu narrar uma perspectiva sobre políticas de gestão e saúde em teleatendimentos.


This research was instigated not only by our interest in studying and intervening on workers health, but also by our awareness of the current relevance of call centers for the productive sector. We took into account the transformations in labor due to the new technologies, globalization and the changes in telecommunication. This study aimed at pointing out the relationship between management systems and the call center workers health-illness process, as well asat finding out the way labor is organized (management systems) in telecommunication companies, identifying how these characteristics are expressed in workers health, and promoting the predominant human resources policies. Data was collected in the biggest four call centers in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, through interviews, electronic texts, inspections in companies and a research diary. These analyses resulted in a new view on call centers management and health polices.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste artigo é duplo. No âmbito teórico, apresenta a noção de modos operatórios singulares e diferenciados desenvolvidos no setor de teleatendimento; no âmbito metodológico, busca apresentar o valor da entrevista de autoconfrontação no estudo da atividade de trabalho. Inicialmente, são apresentados os métodos e os procedimentos utilizados para analisar a atividade em um serviço de atendimento às situações de emergências urbanas e, em seguida, é descrito o funcionamento do contexto produtivo estudado. Os trechos de diálogos de dez casos observados em situação foram autoconfrontados, permitindo aos autores a apresentação do desenrolar particular de cada atendimento dirigido pelo operador. Finalmente, discute-se a influência das diferenças interindividuais na atividade de teleatendimento e nos possíveis danos à saúde dos operadores.


This article is double aimed. At theoretical level, it introduces the idea of particular and distinguished operational modes; at methodological level, it presents the relevance of self-confrontation interviews when studying work practices. It starts introducing methods and procedures used to analyze an urban emergency call center practice; then, it describes how the specific production context under study operates. The dialogue fragments of ten observed subjects were self-confronted giving the authors the opportunity to present the singular development of each telemarketing service performed by each operator. Finally, the articlediscusses both the degree to which inter-individual differences influence telemarketing practices, and the possible damage caused to operators health.

ABSTRACT

O presente artigo dedica-se ao estudo da subjetividade dos trabalhadores no serviço de teleatendimento, indagando como as condições e a organização do trabalho, o conteúdo da tarefa e da atividade e os relacionamentos interpessoais contribuem para as vivências de prazer e sofrimento. Escolheu-se para o estudo empírico uma central de atendimento de um fundo de pensão privado.Para apreender o trabalho e compreender seus determinantes, buscou-se suporte teórico-metodológico na Ergonomia e na Psicodinâmica do Trabalho.Foram encontrados 26 indicadores de possíveis fontes de prazer ou sofrimento.A associação do indicador ao sentimento varia de sujeito para sujeito, em cada situação de trabalho. Os indicadores foram agrupados em 4 categorias, conforme as questões de estudo. A configuração da situação de trabalho como prazerosa ou não está vinculada à forma como os sujeitos se relacionam com a mesma. Assim, é fundamental a compreensão das categorias relacionadas ao estudo do prazer e do sofrimento como não estanques, pois elas se inter-relacionam,criando um cenário multideterminado.


This article deals with call center workers subjectivity. It investigates how labor conditions and organization, content of the tasks and activity, as well as interpersonal relationships, add to the pleasure and suffering feelings experienced at work. A private pension fund call center was chosen for this empirical study. In order to learn about the task and understand its determinants, we searched for theoretical and methodological support in ergonomics and in labor psychodynamics.Twenty- six (26) indicators of possible sources of pleasure or suffering atwork were found. The association of such indicators to their respective feelings varies from subject to subject, for each work-related situation. The indicators were grouped into 4 categories according to the issues under study. According to the way subjects relate to a situation at work they describe it either as being pleasant or unpleasant. Therefore, it is fundamental that the categories related to the study of pleasure and suffering are seen as being dynamic, for they interrelate, creating a multi-determined panorama.

ABSTRACT

A pesquisa teve como objetivo geral investigar a inter-relação do custo humano da atividade com as relações socioprofissionais de trabalho em um serviço de teleatendimento governamental. Trata-se de um diagnóstico em Ergonomia da Atividade que contempla três dimensões analíticas: as relações socioprofissionais de trabalho, o custo humano da atividade e as vivências de bem-estar e mal-estar. Utilizou-se como abordagem metodológica a Análise Ergonômica do Trabalho (AET). A análise dos resultados identificou uma associação entre as relações socioprofissionais de trabalho, a organização e as condições detrabalho. Desse modo, melhorias ou dificuldades em uma dessas dimensões exercem conseqüências positivas ou negativas sobre as demais. Os aspectos críticos do contexto de produção de serviços de teleatendimento interferem nas relações socioprofissionais de trabalho uma vez que a organização do trabalho impõe interações marcadas pela burocracia, pelo autoritarismo, pela rigidez e pelo controle, enquanto que as condições de trabalho contribuem para constantes conflitos interpessoais entre pares e entre teleatendentes e chefes de turma.


This article mainly aims at investigating the inter-relationship between cost of human activity and social-professional relations of labor at a governmental call center. It consists of a diagnosis in Ergonomics of Activity considering three analytical dimensions: labor socio-professional relations, cost of human activity and well being/discomfort experiences. The methodological approach was the Ergonomic Work Analysis EWA. The analysis of the results pointed out an association between labor socio-professional relations, organization and conditions. In this sense, improvements or difficulties in one of these dimensions trigger positive or negative consequences on the others. The critical aspects in the context of producing call center services interfere in the socio-professional relations of labor since labor organization demands interactions marked by bureaucracy, authoritarianism, inflexibility and control, while labor conditions contribute to inflame constant interpersonal conflicts between both workers from the same or from different hierarchic levels.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir como determinados aspectos das situações laborais atingem trabalhadores portadores de LER/DORT reabilitados ou em reabilitação, quando retornam ao trabalho. Tomamos como referência um grupo de bancários de agências de um banco estatal e um grupo de teleatendentes de um call center de empresa privada de telecomunicações, no estado do Ceará. Nossa análise aponta que o processo de reabilitação não recupera a capacidade laborativa dos trabalhadores. Além disso, tem se caracterizado por situações de constrangimento e humilhação no trabalho. O resultado é um trabalhador envergonhado e amedrontado pela limitação de sua capacidade laboral, pelo sentimento de inutilidade e/ou pelo risco de demissão.


The aim of this study is to discuss issues that affect workers who suffer from RSI/WMSD, either rehabilitated or in rehabilitation, when they return to work. We have taken as a reference a group of bank tellers working at agencies of a State-owned bank, and a group of operators working at the call center of a private telecommunications company, in the state of Ceará (Brazil). Our analysis indicates that the rehabilitation process does not restore the workers? labor capability. Besides, it has been characterized by situations of embarrassment and humiliation at work. The result is an ashamed and frightened worker, due to his/her limited labor capability, to the feeling of uselessness and/or to the risk of dismissal.

ABSTRACT

O texto aborda uma pesquisa realizada em uma central de teleatendimento do setor público. A análise ergonômica orienta-se para a interação teleatendente-teleusuário, buscando mostrar as características da organização do trabalho que constrangem as estratégias de mediação dos operadores e potencializam a ocorrência de vivências de mal-estar no trabalho. O referencial teórico-metodológico articula os conceitos de custo humano do trabalho, vivências de bem-estar e mal-estar e a Análise Ergonômica do Trabalho - AET. Os resultados mostram as características da Central e principais indicadores críticos, revelando um nexo entre custo humano do atividade e indícios de vivências de mal-estar dos operadores.

The ergonomic analysis is oriented toward the interaction call center worker-call center user, aiming to present the characteristics of the work organization that constraint the strategies of mediation of the call center workers and that may result in discomfort of well-being at work. The theoretical and methodological approach deals with the concepts of human cost of work, well-being and discomfort of well-being, and the Ergonomics Analysis of Work - EAW. The results show the characteristics of the call center unit and its main critical indicators, revealing a connection between the human cost of the activity and signals of discomfort of well-being among the call center workers.
