Abstract

The evolutionary process of the teaching career trajectory is characterized by factors that can interfere with quality of life and job satisfaction. Thus, the objective of this study was to correlate job satisfaction and Burnout Syndrome in physical education teachers in Grade School. 59 Physical Education teachers linked to municipal and state networks, and who worked in the city of Arapongas – Paraná – Brazil, participated. The instruments for data collection were a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Quality of Work Life Assessment Scale Perceived by Physical Education Teachers, and the Burnout Characterization Scale. For data analysis, the chi-square, Spearman, and Friedman correlation tests were used. The profile of teachers in a medium to large city was identified, and it revealed to be mostly: women, postgraduates, linked to the municipality, working in Elementary School, who did not teach in a risk zone, had a partner, had a career between 11 and 20 years long, worked for 8 groups or more, worked more than 21 hours a week, and were up to 39 years old. It was also learned that the dimensions of Emotional Exhaustion from Burnout Syndrome and Social Relevance, and Social Integration of Satisfaction at Work are determinant in their respective models. It is important to emphasize that the social perspective of this research is known to be a good indicator in understanding teacher’s profiles and the existing correlations between the constructs of Job Satisfaction and Burnout Syndrome; for Physical Education teachers of Grade School.
