Resumo:Objective: To evaluate the association between the psychosocial variables at work and professionals and sociodemographic aspects of workers from the furniture industry and the multidisciplinary intervention. Methods: The study sample was composed of 146 workers from the production sector of two furniture industries which was divided in two groups: Group 1 (study) and Group 2 (control). The Group 1 was formed by 80 workers and the Group 2 of 66 workers. The instrument used to assess the common mental disorders was the Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) and the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ) was used to evaluate the psychosocial factors at work environment. Results: The results showed significant differences at the “authority of decision” (p=0,05), “control over the job” (p=0,03) and “physical effort” (p=0,02) dimensions when comparing the groups of workers. There were not significant differences in the others variables. Conclusion: Comparisons between groups presented association between the variables “authority of decision”, “control over the job” and “physical effort” and the multidisciplinary intervention. doi:10.5020/18061230.2014.p470
