Qualidade de vida no trabalho docente: um olhar sobre os professores da Universidade Federal do Tocantins

Abstract

In 2003, Brazil initiated a series of actions aiming at the expansion of higher education in the country until the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization and Expansion of Federal Universities (Reuni) in 2007. In this context emerged the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT) created in 2000, but starting its activities in May 2003. The actions of expanding higher education in Brazil by the government reflect a paradigm well known and applied in other developed and developing countries where they know that knowledge is configured as an essential factor for the growth and development of the economy. To further understand that the field of labor and forms of capital accumulation has been changing over time and the current process of change termed productive restructuring has influenced many work contexts permeating the spaces of Higher Education Institutions (IES). Thus, before the staggering growth of college campuses and university courses is that this study sought to cast an eye on the Quality of Work Life (QWL) of teachers of Federal University of Tocantins (UFT) against the implementation of the policy of expanding higher education. Based on the survey of 130 faculty members through IA_QVT UFT was proved, in general, the QWL offered by the institution does not give support to the teaching exercise this, in turn, is based on subjective factors related to the direction work, the teacher identity, the design of the subject's life as a teacher and student-instructor ratio.
