A influência da remuneração variável nas finanças pessoais dos colaboradores de uma empresa do ramo elétrico em Fortaleza-Ce

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the influence of variable remuneration on the personal finances of employees in the operational area of a company in the electricity sector located in Fortaleza, capital of Ceará. The theoretical framework encompasses strategic remuneration, focusing on remuneration for results, with financial literacy and financial education being observed as indicators of good health in personal finance. The research is a case study, carried out through a quantitative-qualitative approach, combining questionnaire and interview as data collection instruments and based on bibliographical research. In the work, it was identified that employees have a level of financial literacy considered average, when analyzing their knowledge, attitudes and financial behavior. The variable remuneration policies adopted by the organization were also exposed and the financial profile of employees related to the variable remuneration received was described, where it was possible to observe the discrepancy between their attitudes, knowledge and their actual behavior. Thus, it was concluded that receiving variable remuneration directly affects the respondents' standard of living, a situation that could be alleviated by increasing their level of financial literacy.
