TRABALHO E FÉ: PERFIL E PERCEPÇÕES DE MULHERES GERENTES NO SETOR BANCÁRIO EM GOIÂNIA.

Abstract

This thesis presented reflections about the relationship between gender, religion and work. The objective of the research was to analyze the process of integrating women into the banking work universe - considered until the century XX, male exclusivity - and how religiosity and faith influenced in the process of conquest and feminization of this sector in Brazil. For this, we analyzed the trajectory of women workers who, by influence of Judeo-Christian culture, which model of patriarchy continues to generate submission and exclusion, promotes, even today, gender inequality at work, although occupy same positions and perform the same functions. The research identified deep marks of symbolic violence present in the workplace, observing that the womans performance in the banking labor market happens, even today, in noticeably unequal and exclusionary conditions. The superiority assigned to male for centuries through religion, laws, school and family reproduces in that space, daily, and has been appropriated by capital and reproduced in labor relations, by the same system that summons the woman for the labor market (feminization of the workforce) paid and that accepts as legitimate working, but affect their living conditions and work. With the search result, it was found that women account for the largest labor portion in the sector and occupy most managerial positions, without, however, reaching the pinnacle of executive occupations, leaving them only those intermediaries. To prove the hypothesis, it was adopted as a methodological basis for qualitative approach, using quantitative data. The field survey was conducted through questionnaires application and interviews semi structured achievements, aiming to know opinions, interests, expectations and situations experienced by banks managers of Goiania, with the objective to analyze their profiles (personal and professional) and them perceptions of beliefs and religiousness as support and strength in the face of adversity that are daily subjected. It was observed that even the technological advances, the increased level of schooling, the conquest of good jobs, changes in family relationships and in the spaces of sociability were sufficient to ensure gender equality. To justify such subjective, it was concluded, with this thesis that women, with all the social achievements and advances arising from the secularized society and the modernity arisen from globalized times, attributed, still, to religion, a power significant, of conforming, that interferes as a constituent in gender identities and therefore in labor relations.
