In the meantime, the most varied forms of work were instituted, culminating in the molds we know today, with hierarchies, employees, coordinators, managers and bosses. However, a concept has always surrounded the thinking of the people and in time has taken shape and importance, reaching the point, in contemporary times, of being decisive in work relations, which is the concept of Quality of Life at Work, or simply , QLW. There is a lot of talk about QLW, and there are a lot of interpretations on the subject, however, some influence factors are always repeated, such as a safe, pleasant work environment, good relations among colleagues, fair pay and recognition by the work performed influence the perception that the worker will have about quality in the exercise of his work. Having the importance of the theme in view and aiming to ascertain the quality of life in the work of the teachers and administrative technicians, being considered as collaborators of UFERSA - Campos Pau dos Ferros, this work aims to identify the variables that most influence the QLW perceived by them. For that, a theoretical survey was developed about the theme, questionnaires were applied with the employees to understand their perception and finally the data analysis was done, crossing this information with a theoretical survey, making it possible to reach conclusions. They point out that, for the most part, teachers and administrative staff have a positive perception regarding their quality of life, they consider central and satisfactory factors such as remuneration, safe and healthy work environment, good conditions to perform their duties, respect and freedom within the institution, as well as community recognition. In the end, only the factor of work and private life has somewhat dislodged the wave of satisfaction, indicating that actions aimed at making the workday less demanding, both physically and mentally, are indicated.
