Abstract
Este trabajo buscó investigar la correlación entre las experiencias de microagresiones en el trabajo y la autoestima de los profesionales LGBT+ durante la pandemia de COVID-19, así como las posibles diferencias en las medias según el grupo de edad y la permanencia en la organización. Un total de 206 profesionales LGBT+ participaron y respondieron la Escala de Experiencias de Microagresión LGBT+ en el Trabajo, la Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg y un cuestionario sociodemográfico. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos, la prueba de correlación de Spearman y la prueba de Mann Whitney para muestras independientes. Los resultados indicaron una correlación débil y negativa entre la autoestima y dos dimensiones de las microagresiones: los valores en el lugar de trabajo y la cultura cisnormativa. Los profesionales de 30 años o más presentaron medias más altas en autoestima y en microagresiones hacia los valores laborales. Los profesionales con más de un año de antigüedad presentaron medias más altas en autoestima, mientras que quienes llevaban menos de un año presentaron medias más altas en las tres dimensiones de las microagresiones (valores en el lugar de trabajo, supuestos heteronormativos y cultura cisnormativa). Este trabajo es pionero en el estudio de las microagresiones LGBT+ en el ámbito laboral en Brasil y sus resultados contribuyen al avance en la comprensión de la experiencia de esta población.
