Benefícios e limitações do lazer no contexto empresarial: percepção de trabalhadores que participam de uma associação recreativa em Minas Gerais

Abstract

This article aimed to understand the perception of workers who par-ticipate in the recreational association of a company in Minas Gerais, concerning the benefits and limitations of the leisure pro-grams offered in this context. The methodology included a case study with active employees of the company "Potência", who par-ticipate in the association "Recreio''. The research was descriptive, following a quantitative approach. The investigation employed the survey method in which qualified participants responded to an online questionnaire. The sample consisted of 110 workers. The re-sults indicate that, for those surveyed, the leisure programs offered by Recreio bring positive benefits for them, especially in terms of satisfaction and improved quality of life, and for the company, with image and increased productivity. We conclude that the workers surveyed consider the company's leisure as part of their per-sonal/social development.
