Teaching work social temporality in a public university and health

This study aimed to analyze teaching work's temporality aspects in their relationship with health. Qualitative research was conducted with the participation of ten professors from a public university. Six meetings called "Worker's Health workshops" were held, a research methodology that gathers workers and researchers to discuss topics related to work and health. The material was analyzed through the content analysis technique, in the thematic modality. The main themes were identified from the transcribed materials of the workshops' dialogues, namely: working time intensification and extension, teacher's health, working time and sleep deprivation, and health advocacy strategies and solutions. We noted that health advocacy strategies are located in individuals and the workgroup, through cooperation and social time. The theme of an intensive and extensive combination of working time associated with insecure work conditions was identified. We concluded that teaching work time is underpinned by rules and social values under the historical determination of new managerial standards within the public university.
