Abstract

The constant changes in the work environment and the desire for a better relation between the professional and personal life, makes as the goal of the present study to analyze how managers and / or owners of the clothing and footwear stores in the city of Cerro Largo / RS make to cope with professional and personal life. In this research the qualitative and descriptive methods were used to analyze the results, thus 28 interviews were performed in loco with the delivery of semi-structured questionnaires to the managers and / or owners of clothing and footwear stores in the city of Cerro Largo in the period from March to May 2014. After data analysis, the main findings were that conflicts exist especially when there is no separation of the problems of the store with the family. They also exist when the profession of the spouse is very tiring; therefore the tasks accumulate to the wife. The lack of support from the partner, and excessive time spent at the business are also causes for conflicts. Dialogue, support and understanding are factors that reduce the generation of these conflicts. Besides, dedications to the family in certain moments, such as on the weekend and enjoying what you do are also fluent characteristics that lessen conflicts.
