Abstract

Technology and innovation management must consider that sustainable business is only possible through people, and managing variables in the workplace is crucial to the continuation of productive and happy teams. This study identifies the working conditions and causes of stress at work in companies ranked as the 100 incredible places to work in Brazil in 2020. The survey was conducted by the School of Economics, Business Administration, Accounting and Actuarial Science at the University of São Paulo and assessed the opinions of 106,711 employees. The results show that employees are in good health (74.7%), with good sleep quality (47.5%), physical activity habits (41.9%) and a healthy diet (64.4%). Stress at work is caused by performance (14.97%), self-criticism (13.22%) and workload (13.18%). Working conditions and causes of stress point to the need for self-improvement and greater support and closer relationships with management, and technology and innovation can be used to support both strategies in the workplace.
