Quality of working life among teachers of an educational institution in the city of Medellin in 2018

Journal Title: RHS-Revista Humanismo y Sociedad - Year 2019, Vol 7, Issue 1

Abstract

This paper aims to describe the quality of working life by measuring the perception of working conditions, organization and demands of work, motivation, values, engagement, stress and the burnout syndrome. This is a case study with a quantitative method and an analytical empirical approach according to the descriptive transectional design. The population universe consisted of 24 teachers from a public education institution in Medellin, to whom the International Questionnaire on Quality of Work Life of Human Services Organizations was administered in 2018. As part of the findings of the research study, the domains assessed to establish the quality of working life yielded neither no nor low conditions. The conclusions highlight the need to preventively manage the domains with their dimensions and items that appear in acceptable conditions with a need for improvement, so they do not become risk factors for the quality of working life in the institution.
