Abstract

This article presents the report of an intervention in Organizational and Labor Psychology in a philanthropic hospital, performed by Perfil, the junior company of the Psychology program of the Federal University of São João del-Rei (UFSJ). For this, an organizational diagnosis was performed by means of focus groups with employees, and interviews were conducted with the managers of the institution, so as to identify intervention needs and perspectives which did not appear in the initial demand. The intervention actions were based on the motivational theory of Abraham Maslow, as well as on concepts of leadership, internal communication, and feedback. This work highlights the relevance of providing greater visibility to the activities developed by junior companies to non-academic audiences, praising the knowledge produced within the academy in exchange with the labor market, and attempting to show how it is possible for an organizational and labor psychology initiative to make a difference in a health care institution.
