This is the eighth book by LAPEEX/PSOT – Research, Teaching and Extension Laboratory: People, Subjectivity, Organizations and Work. The overall aim is to give visibility to science by sharing reliable scientific knowledge regardless of its origin. This laboratory articulates the activities of the extension project Coffe with HR: promoting actions to improve the Quality of Life at Work. The research group involved in this project is named “Management with people and subjectivity in the Oil and Gas”. As editors, we joined efforts and our international partners, namely the Center for Research in Education and Psychology of the University of Évora (CIEP-UE) and the Center for Research in Neuropsychology and Cognitive and Behavioral Intervention (CINEICC) of the University of Coimbra. This book marks our international experience approaching a very relevant topic that is urgent and highly important nowadays: decent work. Since this book was funded by the MPT – Public Ministry of Labor in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, it was possible to make it freely available worldwide. We intended to meet a double mission of research and extension of our research centers. Therefore, we hope it can be helpful to researchers and practitioners from different institutions and/or public and private companies to help them reflect on their policies and practices in favor of decent work, the eighth sustainable development goal of the United Unions 2030 Agenda. Each country has its unique challenges. However, interdependence and responsibility in promoting decent work is a shared responsibility of everyone. Promoting decent work means providing a better quality of life and social peace for everyone through social emancipation and reducing social inequalities worldwide.
