Avaliação da qualidade de vida no trabalho : a percepção dos professores de escolas privadas da região metropolitana de Aracaju - SE

Abstract

Satisfied workers change the environment as a whole, due to their positivity and development in relation to the institution in which they work. From this perspective, quality of life at work (QWL) arises, as essential for human beings, capable of transforming people's lives, printing health, safety, well-being and satisfaction, and can raise levels of performance at work. The present study evaluates the quality of life at work of teachers who work in private schools in the metropolitan region of Aracaju, that is, in the cities of Aracaju, São Cristóvão, Barra dos Coqueiros, and Nossa Senhora do Socorro. For this research, a descriptive, quantitative study was developed, through a survey using structured questionnaires containing 34 closed questions and 2 open questions, regarding their quality of life in the context of their work environment, and in the execution of their activities while teachers. For the perceptual evaluation of the subjects, the scale of agreement of levels of agreement / disagreement and calculation of averages in base 10 was used, explained in chapter 3. The level of satisfaction was also verified in several questions related to their activities, such as salaries, working hours, among others. In other words, the degree of satisfaction of those who work in private schools was analyzed, regarding their QWL and, for that, the Walton model, created in 1973, was adopted. From the results obtained, it was verified that QWL in schools studied, according to the subjects varied from high level to the conditions of safety and health at work, the social relevance of work in life, constitutionalism and social integration. However, the worst assessments were mainly due to issues of remuneration and benefits and career opportunities. It is suggested, as soon as these issues are reviewed, that teachers can work in an environment with a higher QWL
