GESTÃO DO TRABALHO DOCENTE E PERCEPÇÃO DAS CONDIÇÕES DE SAÚDE DE DOCENTES DE ENSINO SUPERIOR

Abstract

The University is considered an organization that produces knowledge and currently needs to organize its actions for production and management of knowledge about its own survival and fulfillment of the mission to train new professionals. The teacher is a central character in this process, since his work is directly related to the production and dissemination of knowledge, as well as the development of people. However, the teaching function is also strongly influenced by the social and economic changes of the globalized world. Thus, this research aims to understand how the perception of one's own health can affect the management process of the teaching work of a group of higher education teachers. For this purpose, questionnaires were applied to 80 teachers of higher education of a private institution, with questions about socioeconomic and professional aspects of this teacher, in addition to the short version of the Medical Outcomes Short-Form Health Survey SF-36. The data obtained indicate that health influences the management of pedagogical work, especially in the scientific production and innovation of methodologies in the classroom. In this way, it can be concluded that knowledge management processes can help improve the health conditions of these teachers and, consequently, the management of teaching work.
