Abstract

This study aimed was to identify the job satisfaction profiles of Physical Education (PE) teachers and to relate them to the quality of life and sociodemographic variables. 297 public school teachers from the region of Greater Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil participated in the research. Data collection was performed using three measuring instruments: sociodemographic questionnaire, QVT-PEF and WHOQOL-bref. Clusters analysis and the Kruskal-Wallis and Chi-square tests were used. Four teacher profiles with different assessments of job satisfaction were identified, with Groups I and II presented satisfaction indexes, Group III of indecision and Group IV of work dissatisfaction. The groups an had association with the variables: workload; teaching network; population size; and Human Development Index (HDI) of the municipalities in which the teachersworked. It was concluded that the profile of the group of more satisfied teachers is determined by working in the municipal school system, by the partial workload and by the workdone in schools of medium HDI cities with a smaller population size, while the group of the most dissatisfied teachers consists predominantly of full-time workload teachers and working in municipalities with high HDI and greater population size.
