Redes sociais como estratégia na busca e obtenção de emprego: uma revisão integrativa da literatura nacional.

Abstract

In a scenario marked by unemployment, the use of strategies that contribute to the access to job opportunities deserves attention from social research. In this sense, the use of social networks, especially those derived from informal ties, can be a means to overcome the mishaps posed by the labor market, serving as access to job vacancies. Thus, this work made use of the integrative review to identify, during the years 2007 to 2017, which were the main national publications referring to the Social Networks theme as strategies for obtaining employment. A total of 685 articles were analyzed in three databases: SciELO, CAPES and LILACS. Of these articles, 9 met the inclusion and exclusion criteria defined previously. The results obtained allowed us to visualize that there are still few national publications on the subject proposed here. It has also been identified that there is some balance as to the nature of the selected researches, with predominance of the quantitative character. In addition, the results pointed out that social networks may be associated with support for individuals in situations of unemployment, through occupational insertion, and also for the possibility of entrepreneurship creation. However, only one of the articles found made use of the methodology of the analysis of social networks (ARS), showing that the understanding of the functioning of networks of relationship is still little investigated.
