[The influence of organizational ties in the consolidation of psychosocial care centers].

This article seeks to investigate the influence of organizational ties in the consolidation of Psychosocial Care Centers (CAPS - II and AD [Alcohol and Drugs]) in the city of Petrolina, State of Pernambuco, Brazil. Based on qualitative research, semi-structured interviews were conducted with a multi-professional team from both CAPS, with the sample consisting of one representative from each professional category. A critical review of the data was based on content analysis prepared from categorization of the discourses. The results showed that, in general, the teams do not possess sufficient theoretical knowledge about the system of which they are part. Moreover, although there is a high level of satisfaction, precarious working conditions and a lack of professional recognition and labor input can negatively affect the institutional dynamics. Lastly, a quantitative equivalence was also detected regarding affective and calculative aspects of organizational commitment and a close relationship between length of service and involvement with the work.
