Motivação no trabalho no período de 2020-2024: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

Work motivation is a variable within organizational behavior that is supported by a robust theoretical framework. It has been identified as one of the fundamental factors for organizational performance and employee well-being. However, the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a reorganization of the previously established parameters of the work environment. Based on this, the present study aimed to analyze the factors that motivate individuals in the workplace during the pandemic and post-pandemic periods (2020–2024) through a systematic literature review. The search was conducted in the CAPES Periódicos database using the descriptors "motivation," "work," and "employment" in two distinct search phases. Inclusion criteria included publications from 2020 to 2024 in the Portuguese language. The final sample selected for analysis consisted of 19 articles. The results were analyzed based on the year of publication, the context of application, the studied population, the research methods employed, and the motivational antecedents identified in the studies. Based on the findings, recommendations for future research and the limitations of the present study are discussed.
