SUMMARY:

The Covid19 pandemic caused impacts and changes in all spheres of society, including work. Faced with the quarantines in the country, the alternative for many companies was to implement the home office. Considering the impacts of this modality of work incorporated in the lives of workers, the general objective of this research was to analyze the social representations built on working from home in the context of the Covid19 pandemic. As a theoretical contribution, the Theory of Social Representations was used. A Free Word Association questionnaire was applied to 97 participants and 10 semi-structured interviews. Data from the questionnaire were analyzed using the Iramuteq software, through prototypical analysis and descending hierarchical classification, and the interviews were analyzed using the content analysis technique. The results showed that work appears centrally related to responsibility and personal fulfillment, the fulfillment of a mission for the other. The context of the pandemic added to the work activity feelings of uncertainty, adaptation, fatigue, insecurity, anxiety and gratitude for continuing to work in the face of the crisis. Home office work represented flexibility, responsibility and discipline, leading the subjects to feelings of comfort and tiredness in the face of difficulties in reconciling work with household chores, caring for children. The subjects highlighted autonomy as freedom and responsibility. The expectations of the post-pandemic period represent, even in the face of uncertainties about the future, a trend towards a new lifestyle and work, with a future hybrid work. The importance of the analysis of the social context in the constitution of the structures of the social representations of the analyzed objects and the articulations about the different possible levels of analysis, from the individual to the societal, is highlighted. The need for attention to the worker's quality of life is highlighted, ensuring greater distance between work and other spheres of social life.
