The study analyzed the interaction between organizational demands and the
expectations of lawyers in a law firm, and how this affects their professional
performance. The research, which was qualitative and descriptive, used semistructured interviews with five lawyers from a law firm in Manaus. The interviews
were organized into three main categories: organizational demands, professional
expectations and performance. The data was analyzed using Bardin's (2011)
content analysis technique. The results showed that the main organizational
demands include meeting strict deadlines, a high volume of work and the
complexity of tasks. These demands contrast with the lawyers' expectations for
greater organizational support, recognition and a clear definition of priorities. The
misalignment between demands and expectations results in negative impacts on
performance, such as pressure, stress and difficulties in delivering efficiently.
However, the interviewees pointed out that teamwork has been a motivating
factor in carrying out their activities.
