Abstract

In order to face the globalization and its competitions, organizations have in people their biggest differential. From this idea, Quality of Life at Work (QLW) aims to make the employees of an organization feel good in their work environment making it a pleasant and productive place. Studies in this area has been verified that the presence of QLW in the workplace influences positively in administrative efficiency, indicated by variables such as: reduced turnover, less absenteeism, increased productivity, reduced fatigue, favorable attitude and satisfaction at work, health development and safety, among others. In this context, this dissertation aims to investigate the existence of a relationship between the perception of QWL and the withdrawal caused by occupational diseases, by the professors of Federal University of Goiás/UFG. Therefore, the proposed methodology is quantitative nature research based on the model of QWL proposed by Richard Walton (1973). As a result we verified the conceptual categories that significantly influenced the perception of QWL for the groups of professors who were not distant from work due to occupational diseases, identified the administrative impacts resulting from the absence of work, and it was found that 23.6 % of withdrawals caused by the same diseases are related to the perception of QWL.
