| Summary: | This descriptive study aims to relate the subjective assessment of career fulfillment to investments done by higher education teachers. We collected data through an online questionnaire and from the CNPq Lattes Platform database. From a total of 16 teachers from a private higher education institution in Belém, Pará, six were selected, who indicated that they felt very satisfied or very dissatisfied in the professional area since the previous period of initial training. Performing functional analysis along Behavior Analysis principles provided the interpretation of the results. The results highlight that the same variables justify the recognition of satisfaction or dissatisfaction by the teachers. Therefore, the individual perception of external and personal factors reflects relations among actions and emotions, showing us how important it is to turn one’s performance meaningful and pleasant. The study allows us to realize that both, career and satisfaction with it, are an individual issue, so there are countless possible paths for teachers to feel and perceive themselves - or not - professionally fulfilled. The analysis perspective we adopted contributes to the identification of alternatives that prioritize the exercise of the profession combined with life quality. |
