Abstract

SANTANA, Luiza Lúcia e Silva et al. Gestores escolares da rede pública em Minas Gerais: fatores de satisfação no trabalho. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2012, vol.28, n.01, pp.491-520. ISSN 0102-4698.

The objective of this study was to investigate the presence or absence of satisfaction at work of the directors/managers of basic state/public education, as well as its influence on school management. The category suggestions made by Walton in his "Quality of Work life", were referred to. This research is descriptive, with a qualitative and quantitative approach, using a semi-structured questionnaire. The sample consisted of 124 cases distributed across 52 municipalities of MG. The results indicate that there is a sense of satisfaction on the part of directors / managers with regard to the relevance of their work. Social integration in the organization, use of (and development of) employees’ capacities, constitutionalism and opportunities for professional growth, all provide proof of their positive influence on school management. However, there is a feeling of dissatisfaction with respect to factors associated with remuneration (salary), and a feeling of indifference regarding working conditions (and their associated factors) and concerning the work-life/home-life balance.

Keywords : Satisfaction and Quality of Work Life; Directors and Managers of State Education; The National School Program of State Management of Basic Education.
