Abstract

Satisfaction and frustration the basic psychological needs (BPN) of health professionals seem to influence their ability to work and the respective motivational strategies used by them. However, it is a matter on which there are few studies and samples are reduced or with individuals from various professions. This dissertation wanted to examine the association between satisfaction and frustration of basic psychological needs at work and the motivational strategies used by the exercise professional. In the first instance, a systematic literature review was conducted to analyse the published literature on satisfaction and frustration in the work of basic psychological needs in exercise professionals. Subsequently, a cross-sectional observational study was directed to examine the association between satisfaction and frustration and motivational strategies used in the workplace (n=174 profissionais). The results indicated that the satisfaction of basic psychological needs, there is a set of external factors that promote psychological well-being and sense of autonomy, promoting feelings of satisfaction and pleasure in work and increased self-esteem. Already frustration can lead to emotional exhaustion, depletion risk, concerns about body image and eating disorders. Relative to motivational strategies can verify a positive association between the satisfaction of basic psychological needs and perceptions of support. Men if satisfied in the BPN, uses motivational strategies to support, but when the BPN are frustrated, they are more likely to use motivational strategies of control. Women, just the satisfaction of competence leads to adoption for motivation and support but frustration does not seem to lead to motivational control strategies.
