SUMMARY:

This dissertation deals with the interrelation between teaching work and mental health of university professors and aims to investigate the relationship between teaching work and mental health, taking into account the organization and conditions of work present in the university context. The subjects studied here will be the professors of a public Federal institution of Higher Education, working in undergraduate and graduate courses stricto sensu. This is a qualitative study in which the research process was defined in a two-stage movement between field research and the capture of theoretical information through a literature review addressing the themes that emerged in the research field. Our study has as a documentary Corpus 12 (twelve) letters exchanged between professors of the same university between the months of July of the year two thousand and December twenty-second of the same year. The organization, systematization and successive readings of the letters were carried out under the inspiration of Bardin (2011) and Walter Benjamin (1936) studies. When analyzing the data, we had two categories as enunciated: Teaching profession and mental health of the teaching worker, this analytical movement revealed that the meanings attributed to the developed craft are multiple, complex and permeate the daily life and trajectory of each subject. The narratives woven by the professors in this study show many elements that precarious and intensify the teaching work, which include: diversity of tasks performed, lack of time, distancing from interpersonal relationships, length of working hours, pressure for productivity, career disinvestment. At the end of this study, it appears that teaching work in the university context has been presented as a profession whose perceptions have been negative, since it encompasses situations that can lead to an imbalance of emotions and behaviors, causing changes in the mental state of these professionals. Such considerations point to the relevance of our study, corroborating together with the theoretical assumptions, emphasizing that the organization of teaching work in the university context has carried with it marks of the socio-historical context and, as such, is permeated by the propensities of the capitalist system, evidencing the growth of precariousness, intensification and of the extension of teaching work, which causes numerous effects on the health of these workers who often find themselves affected by illnesses, not only physical, but also mental illness.
