“…This issue should be considered by human resources administrators. In this vein, we must emphasize that establishing programs to improve quality of life in the workplace for the nursing staff can improve organizational effectiveness because quality of life is a predictor of this effectiveness 14 . Accordingly, attending to the needs of the nursing staff should be a priority for the healthcare system because it represents a quality standard that has direct repercussions for the people receiving care.…”

Objective: to determine the quality of life in the workplace for nursing staff at public institutions in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico.Method: quantitative, correlational, cross-sectional, and comparative. We used a probabilistic sample of 345 nurses with data collected in 2013 using an instrument created by the authors to gather bio-socio-demographic data and the CVT-GOHISALO instrument with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.95. SPSS 15 was used to analyze the data. A Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to calculate the normality of the data; the medians were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test with the significance level set at 0.05.Results: the average overall quality of life in the workplace for nursing staff was 207.31 (DE 41.74), indicating a moderate level. The quality of life in the workplace was higher for people with permanent contracts (p=0.007) who did not engage in other remunerative activities (p=0.046). Differences in the quality of life in the workplace were observed depending on the institution where the subjects worked (p=0.001).Conclusion: the nursing staff perceives itself as having a moderate-level quality of life in the workplace. This level was determined in the statistical analysis based on the type of contract, whether the person performed other remunerated activities, and the institution where the person worked.

“…Researchers found that these issues arising from the QWL may potentially affect organizational culture and effectiveness, staff 's health and patients' morbidity and mortality rates (An, Yom, & Ruggiero, 2011;Cole et al, 2005;Laschinger, Finegan, Shamian, & Almost, 2001). Low effectiveness and quality of health care services provided by nurses, more complaints, and higher direct medical expenses have been noted as the repercussions of low levels of QWL (Sirgy et al, 2001).…”

Nurses are amongst the employees whose lives are fully affected by the quality of work life (QWL) as a consequence of dynamic changes in work environment. Excessive workload and poor work conditions are focal issues in nursing. The QWL assessment is an important and basic effort to deal with this issue. Moreover, staff productivity is a worthy goal of organizations tending to grow. If the relationship between the QWL and productivity becomes apparent, managers can provide conditions for promoting the QWL for personnel to be productive. To our knowledge, these variables and their relationships have not been studied yet among Iranian nurses. This descriptive study was carried out to investigate the relationship between the QWL and productivity among 360 clinical nurses working in the hospitals of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Findings showed that the QWL is at a moderate level among 61.4% of the participants. Only 3.6% of the nurses reported that they were satisfied with their works. None of those who reported the productivity as low reported their work life quality to be desirable. Spearman-rho test showed a significant relationship between productivity and one's QWL (p < 0.001). Considering the results, managers should adopt appropriate policies to promote the QWL and productivity.

“…A QVT de docentes em instituições de ensino também desperta forte interesse dos estudos organizacionais, tanto de pesquisadores nacionais (KOETZ; REMPEL; PÉRICO, 2013: PIZZIO;KLEIN, 2015;SOUZA et al, 2015;LIMA;LIMA-FILHO, 2009), quanto internacionais (HART, 1994; JI-YOUNG AN; YOUNG-HEE YON; RUGGIERO, 2010;JAIN;THOMAS, 2016). Hart (1994), já pesquisava as experiências de QVT em instituições de ensino e em investigação com 1539 docentes australianos, constatou que o sofrimento psíquico e o moral contribuem igualmente para a QVT.…”

A Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho (QVT) é uma temática fortemente relacionada com a humanização e o bem-estar no ambiente laboral. Compreendê-la desperta interesse científico e organizacional desde a década de 1950. Desta forma, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar a QVT de docentes de uma Instituição Federal de Ensino Superior e assim criar uma taxonomia capaz de possibilitar planos de melhoria. A metodologia foi exploratória e descritiva com levantamento de corte transversal e amostra não probabilística de 100 entrevistados selecionados por acessibilidade. O tratamento dos dados foi quantitativo. Os resultados revelaram cinco fatores, que foram denominados como Relações Interpessoais (17,90%), Jornada de trabalho (16,46%), Reconhecimento (13,98%), Independência (12,24%) e Carreira (6,86%). Os docentes foram classificados em dois grupos, um com 48% dos entrevistados levemente insatisfeitos com a QVT e outro com 52% levemente satisfeitos. Realização pessoal, autonomia e segurança profissional foram os melhores elementos da relação laboral, já os salários e as instalações físicas, os piores. Os resultados recomendam aprimorar aspectos da relação laboral como forma de melhorar a avaliação e fortalecer aspectos positivos do ambiente de trabalho.Palavras-chave: Trabalho docente. Ambiente de trabalho. Gestão de pessoas. Análise multivariada.
