Discrimination against sexual and gender minorities in occupational settings has been an important topic of research. However, little is known about this impact in Portuguese-speaking people.
305 Portuguese and Brazilian participants who identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and other sexual and gender identities (LGBTQIA+) completed an online survey comprising sociodemographic questions, a set of scales to assess psychological distress, and a set of scales to assess occupational well-being.
Participants had higher levels of burnout, depressive symptoms, and anxiety and lower levels of work-related quality of life, engagement, and self-efficacy at work compared to the defined cut-off points for normative populations, with asexual and bisexual people appearing to be the most affected. Significant correlations were found for all variables, and psychological distress was a significant predictor of lower occupational well-being.
These findings are useful for understanding the occupational health of LGBTQIA+ people and suggest efforts to improve the climate in the workplace for this population.
职业环境中对性少数群体和性别少数群体的歧视一直是重要的研究课题。然而，对于讲葡萄牙语的人群所受的这种影响，我们知之甚少。
305名自认为女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者、酷儿、双性人、无性恋者及其他性取向和性别认同的葡萄牙和巴西参与者（LGBTQIA+）完成了一项在线调查，该调查包括社会人口学问题、一组评估心理困扰的量表以及一组评估职业幸福感的量表。
与正常人群的既定临界点相比，参与者的倦怠、抑郁症状和焦虑水平更高，工作相关的生活质量、工作投入度和工作自我效能感更低，无性恋者和双性恋者似乎受影响最大。所有变量之间均存在显著相关性，心理困扰是职业幸福感较低的显著预测因素。
这些发现有助于了解LGBTQIA+人群的职业健康状况，并建议努力改善该人群在工作场所的氛围。
