RESUMO

The purpose of this research is to analyze financial services salespeople work at retail bank branches regarding marketing and sales practices, and their perception of their jobs. We search for aspects of alienation at work and for role conflict and role ambiguity. Research was made at private banking institutions aiming to identify the main marketing practices utilized to sell products and services. Besides that, we made a research among sales contact workers of different banks trying to identify the categories under analysis. We chose the exploratory and descriptive methods under a qualitative approach that deepens the comprehension of the phenomena, instead of quantifying it. The results were obtained trough primary and secondary sources, open interviews and questionnaires. We based our research on literature and specialized publications. The results were classified before being analyzed and interpreted. The scenery of challenges in financial markets such as: globalization, technology, changes in government regulations and in consumer profile, forced organizations to adapt their strategies. Companys efforts to control performance and commitment of its employees show the subjective aspects of the work. Customer contact employees are particularly vulnerable to short term pressure from management to meet sales quotas. As a result, they may be tempted to ignore the best interest of their customers and focus on immediate results to maintain their jobs. In the process of searching for new clients and accounts and at the same time increase revenues, they are susceptible to tension and stress. The development of studies concerning the negative aspects of job on workers is related to changes in the working management and process occurred in the last decade. Pressure on meeting sales goals and on reducing costs puts service and quality of working life on a second plan. Some aspects of the theory of alienation such as powerlessness and normlessness were identified and the results also showed characteristics of ambiguity and role conflict related to the job. Uncertainty about stability and sense of precariousness dominates the scenery mainly at service sector and banks. Customer dissatisfaction with financials services is greater than in any other sector, except perhaps for public health care, telephone companies or public security.
