Teaching Career in Brazilian Higher Education and Work Engagement

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study examined the relationship between work engagement and teaching career among 220 Brazilian federal public university professors. A sociodemographic questionnaire and the Brazilian version of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale were used as instruments. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results indicate that professors in more advanced stages of their careers have higher levels of work engagement, and consequently, feel happier and more fulfilled at work. It is important to consider resources that could contribute to raising levels of work engagement through interventions aimed at people management practices in Higher Education, while also taking into account the health and well-being of professors.
