Resumo: |
The objectives of the present study were, investigate the presence of anxiety in executives after the rupture of a work bond; identify the main coping strategies used by these individuals; and relate the influence of the anxiety level in the coping with the unemployment situation. Participated in the study 35 subjects, 27 men and eight women, 35 to 56 years old, unemployed for over one month and in process of reinsertion in a consulting agency in the city of São Paulo. The Trace-State Anxiety Inventory (IDATE) and the Problem Coping Strategies Scale (EMEP) were used. The data was submitted to the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS), version 13.0 for Windows. The results indicated that the degree of anxiety found corresponded to the expected average and there was significant positive correlation between Anxiety-Trace and Anxiety-State in the sample studied, which is expected, for the greater the trace, the greater the state will be. As to the coping strategies and level of anxiety, there was negative correlation between Anxiety-State and the use of coping strategies focused on the problem, that is, the greater the anxiety, the lesser oriented to solving problems the individuals were; also there was positive correlation between Anxiety-Trace and the coping strategies focused on the unpleasant emotions, indicating that the greater the anxious state, all the more the individuals used strategies that inhibited skilful and adaptive actions. Coping strategies based on religious practices and fantastical thoughts were also correlated with coping strategies focused on emotion (negative feelings) suggesting a less efficient adaptive character. The correlation between the coping strategies based on emotion and the age of the individuals was negative, especially for the older subjects. There was no positive correlation between unemployment and anxiety, however the longer the length of the unemployment period, the lesser frequent was the adoption of religious practices or fantastical thoughts. The reliability analysis of the instrument for this study, through the Alpha of Cronbach, was 0,79; the analysis of variance (Anova) between the coping factors and the gender indicated a significant difference for the coping factors focused on emotion and religiosity/fantastical thoughts (p < 0,05). It is concluded that the variable anxiety is present when related to the coping strategy focused on emotion and search for religious practices or fantastical thoughts among individuals in an unemployment situation; fact that suggests difficulties in the adaptive equilibrium. Other studies are suggested, with greater samples and which verify with higher precision the relation between length of the unemployment period, gender, age and family group data, among unemployed individuals of managing positions or high executives |
