Redes sociais online e o contrato de trabalho: âmbito do poder disciplinar do empregador

Abstract

This final course work, also known as a scientific monograph, has as its theme “Online social networks and the employment contract: Scope of the employer’s disciplinary power”, prepared as a partial requirement for obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in Law from the Faculty of Law, Eduardo Mondlane University. In today’s society, online social networks have established themselves as highly attractive spaces full of potential, not only from the perspective of citizens, whether employees or not, but also from the perspective of companies. Through online social networks, we can create a profile that is more or less representative of reality (there is no monitoring of the veracity of the information provided), through which we can communicate with other users, sharing interests, ideals, cultures, and even exchanging messages directly. The fact that these platforms are free and easily accessible ends up being a powerful weapon that is within the reach of employers. In methodological terms, the deductive method was used. The deductive method consists of starting from the general to the particular, or, as Marina Marconi says, “starting from theories and laws, it produces the occurrence of particular phenomena.”3 Thus, using this method, we will analyze general legal norms and principles, the various doctrinal positions, and, in the end, draw particular conclusions for the subject of our research.
