Job satisfaction and quality of life of teachers of Physical Education in Grande Florianópolis

Abstract

The objective was to correlate job satisfaction and quality of life of 297 Physical Education teachers. The instruments used were the sociodemographic, QVT-PEF and WHOQOL-bref questionnaires, using the Friedman and Spearman correlation tests. The results indicated a positive and significant correlation in the internal comparison, both for job satisfaction and quality of life. However, the correlation between the constructs was considered insufficient to indicate a relationship between them. In conclusion, Physical Education teachers were satisfied at work and positively evaluated the domains of quality of life, despite the fact that job satisfaction did not influence the perception of quality of life by these teachers.
