Percepção dos trabalhadores de uma escola pública sobre a qualidade de vida no trabalho

Abstract

Quality of life is an important aspect to be considered in workers' health, on which has been assigned various functions in their daily work activities. This study aims to evaluate the perception of workers at a Public School on the quality of working life. The methodology of the study was a descriptive research, by collecting data through questionnaires, with a total of 19 participants including teachers, administrative assistants and cleaning. The survey was conducted based on the model proposed by Walton (1973), composed of eight factors that are fair and adequate compensation, working conditions, use of opportunity and development capabilities, growth opportunity and security, social integration at work, constitutionalism, work and living space, social relevance of work life. The results showed that there is no Quality of Life in School Program, but most employees are happy with the institution's working conditions. Most claimed to have time to run extra activities in relation to the Quality of Life at Work and so it would be difficult to implement a program related to this issue. But even without a Life Quality program in established labor, most respondents shows pleased with the activities carried out and the results obtained. Finally, it is understood that the Quality of Life at Work is a very broad concept that should not be treated in isolation, but with a set of data and collaboration of all professionals interested in improving their working conditions.
