PEDRAZA BENITEZ, Jeimy Paola e HIGUITA-LOPEZ, Daimer. Discomfort at Work: A Look at Public Accountants in Pharmaceutical Companies. Rev.fac.cienc.econ. [online]. 2019, vol.27, n.2, pp.67-82. ISSN 0121-6805. https://doi.org/10.18359/rfce.3444.
This paper discusses discomfort at work among public accountants in Bogotá in multinationals companies of the pharmaceutical sector. Specifically, on the one hand, the study was intended to identify factors that generate discomfort at work among accountants from these companies and, on the other hand, to analyze the impact of these aspects on the state of mind of the subjects. Using a survey, in-depth interviews and a focus group, research showed that the discomfort at work is triggered by the company's internal and external factors; for example, policies based on stereotypes or regulations that govern accounting practice. Some of these factors are associated with the so-called diseases of excellence common in a highly-competitive work environment.
