[Work context and the human cost of work in a Brazilian judiciary organ].
In recent years, in order to ensure the effectiveness of justice, the process of reform of the Brazilian Judiciary began. If, on the one hand, the changes have been significant and positive, on the other, little is known about the impact of the changes on the worker. In order to give visibility to the effects of these changes, based on the theory of the ergonomics of the activity, the scope of this research was to evaluate the Work Context and the Human Cost of Work in a Brazilian Judiciary Organ. The Assessment Scale of Work Context (ASWC) and the Scale of Human Cost of Work (SHCW) were used, as they are both components of the Inventory on Work and Risk - IWR. The study included 383 staff in different locations: 58% female, 62.7% with postgraduate qualifications, 59.3% married and 53% between 21 and 40 years of age. The results in ASWC reveal critical factors in work organization and socio-professional relations. In the case of SHCW, Affective Cost and Cognitive Cost factor assessments were moderate to critical. The ANOVA revealed differences in perceptions related to some socio-demographic variables.
