Diversidade sexual e ambiente de trabalho: uma revisão sobre violência e estratégias de enfrentamento

Abstract

Work organizations today, albeit in some cases in a discreet manner and with some barriers, meet with populations of workers who were previously historically excluded and silenced and consequently did not occupy this environment. This is the case of the LGBT population (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transvestites and Transsexuals), who, even today, are the victims of the most diverse types of violence because they do not conform to the norm established by the heteronormative standard. These difficulties faced by the LGBT population, in some cases, are present in all spheres of life, including in the labor market and in organizations. In view of this, the present study aimed to conduct a literature review and national production on sexual diversity and the work environment, violence and coping strategies. There was a scarcity of publications on the topic of sexual diversity and the work environment and a not very significant number of studies covering violence and coping strategies. The study contributed by exposing which the main tool the LGBT population has been using to face the violence suffered and if it has been effective. It highlighted the importance of the theme for the area of people management, as it draws attention to the demands of workers who can often go unnoticed. In addition, it helped to understand numerous terms present in studies on gender and sexuality.
