Information As A Cause Of Anxiety In Organizations

Abstract

The present work aims to reflect on the impact of information and its possible problems that affect the health of subjects in the context of organizations. When observing the current scenario of organizations, we analyze that information is capable of modifying the behavior of subjects in different ways. Therefore, at the same time that we must consider information as a resource for organizations, we must also understand its impacts on workers' health. The use of information causes numerous triggers in organizations, however, we highlight a behavior developed by workers that needs to be analyzed: informational anxiety. Given this scenario, it is essential that organizations use structured processes to minimize this type of behavior, and thus enable the full use of information as a resource. Therefore, the strategic use of the people management process becomes important, since this process already works directly with employees. In this way, the bibliographic survey on the topics, information as a resource that triggers anxiety and people management as a process, was used as a research method. After a bibliographic survey, a preliminary analysis of information as an organizational resource was carried out, as well as People Management as a process capable of minimizing the impact of information on workers' illness. As a result, the research presents initial guidelines aimed at activities in the people management process that can minimize the impact of information anxiety in the context of organizations.
