Abstract

Considering well-being at work a broad and multifaceted concept related to a positive mental state of the worker from the concatenation of links that he establishes with the organization and with the work performed, this paper is a field research, exploratory-descriptive, of transversal character and quantitative nature. The study performed diagnosis to evaluate the well-being at work amongst nursing teachers of the Professional Technical Education in Health of UFRN. It was applied to the teachers the IBET-13 (inventory of well-being at work), consisting of three scales: variables of satisfaction at work (ST), involvement with work (ET) and affective organizational commitment (COA). Concerning the processing of the data, a factorial analysis of the variables was performed. To measure the correlation between the numerical variables, the Correlation of Pearson (r) was used, while the U test of Mann-Whitney was used to compare the independent samples. The results by dimensions showed a level of perception of commitment and satisfaction in the work of the teachers of 84.21% and only of 5.26% regarding the level of involvement in the work. The teacher commitment of ESUFRN perfects an active relation with the organization where the collaborators themselves wish to contribute to their satisfaction at work. Identification is of the teachers with the organization that is reference to the affective organizational commitment. In the perception of the teachers there is a strong affective bond that translates into positive feelings such as enthusiasm, pride, contentment, trust, attachment and dedication to work and to the institution. In a synthesis, the teachers are affectively committed to the organization, wish to stay in it as a member, believe and commune of the same goals of ESUFRN, intent to strive for the organization, involved with their position and show loyalty. The conclusion is that despite the significant presence of positive feelings in the teachers' work environment (commitment and satisfaction), a large majority of teachers are not involved in the work. It is necessary to understand the possible causes and what can be done by the organization to obtain a work environment that makes possible the well-being for the subject that works. In this way, interventions need to be planned and implemented. The researchers suggest new rummage in the pursuit for subsidies to increase, more and more, the positive links to work.
