RESUMO:

A woman from the workforce becoming a mother for the first-time lives in a relationship between motherhood and job since pregnancy. To delve into the comprehension of this relationship is of fundamental importance, bringing to light the fact that maternity and work are central spheres in most women’s life, especially when it is considered her joining in the job market. The goal of this thesis was to analyze the relationship between motherhood and job of a worker who becomes a mother for the first time, in three distinct moments: pregnancy, maternity-leave and her return to her job. To reach the general proposed objective, two studies were conducted. The first, the systematic literature review, presented in study 1 of the thesis, analyzed the effects of maternity on the worker. The PRISMA recommendations were adopted and registered in Prospero under the number CRD42021215191. The data bases consulted were Scopus, Web of Science, SciELO, Lilacs e PsycInfo. Available empirical articles were sought between 2011 and 2020 with a descriptive of mothers, maternity, and work, in Portuguese and in English. The data analysis was conducted with the tool Start, adopting the categorical thematic content analysis. The 14 articles analyzed addressed the effects of maternity: i) in the professional expectative, ii) in the work and family demands, iii) in the feeling felt at work. The second study, empirical (longitudinal and qualitative), was subdivided to contemplate two distinct focuses using the same empirical data. The study 2a had, as its goal, analyzing the possible relation changes between maternity and work, considering the professional expectations, the feelings lived at work, the work-family conflicts, and the work-family positive interfaces of primiparous women in three distinct moments: pregnancy, maternity leave and the return to work.  Twelve workers were recruited from courses directed to prenatal were interviewed. The data was analyzed with the aid of Iramuteq, a free lexical analysis software. Some of the conclusions were that the discourse on profession expectations and the feeling lived through, at work change according to time, showing to be more prevailing through pregnancy periods, and the work-family conflicts showed to be more prevailing in the women’s speech now of returning to work. The positive work-family interfaces suggest doesn’t change during pregnancy, maternity-leave and when return to work.The study 2b had, as its objective, to analyze the possible changes in the emotional experiences involved in the maternity and work relationships of primiparous women throughout the three mentioned moments. Eleven women were individually interviewed. The data was treated by means of the previous categorical content analysis. The results show that the negative emotional experiences are heavily present in the relationship between maternity and work of primiparous women. During pregnancy and maternity-leave, there is a prevalence of negative emotional experiences. Returning to work is a moment in which the working mother has a greater balance between positive and negative emotional experiences. This thesis contributes to the Work and Organizational Psychology field, in methodological terms included, by having proposed systematic review studies, and the longitudinal and qualitative outline on the maternity phenomena and work, trying, thusly, to find an integration which would enable a more profound understanding of the investigated phenomenon. This thesis also contributed to the critical continence broadening in working mothers, those who elaborate support policies of workers and mothers, and to the researchers interested in this thematic.
