Description
Summary:This study aims to investigate the working and health conditions in educators of stricto sensu postgraduate programs in Letters and Linguistics in Brazil. This study is a transversal study performed with educators of 155 programs recommended by Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior of Brazil. In this study, 654 educators accepted to answer the questions about their working and health conditions, with a proportional participation of each region of Brazil. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics. The results about working conditions showed that 80% of educators reported being satisfied with their work in postgraduate program, although they consider that the pace and intensity of teaching work negatively interferes with their lives (65, 7%). About the health conditions, 52, 2% educators were satisfied with their health and with a good quality of life (61,2%). However, the participants reported not being satisfied with sleep (56.6%) and feeling emotionally exhausted (31.9%). These results shows a duality between working and health conditions, presenting a demand regarding the development of individual and organizational strategies for the improvement of teaching work.
