Resumo
Ultimamente, as expectativas sociais sobre a docência têm aumentado, pedindo-se aos professores que desempenhem mais e diversificadas funções.
A insatisfação profissional tornou-se um dos principais temas de investigação e um problema social relevante, dado que as exigências actuais e as mudanças socioeducativas influenciam como se vive a docência. A literatura considera, com certa relevância, algumas manifestações de insatisfação, tais como: a fadiga-exaustão ou desgaste docente, o mal-estar, o „stress‟, o absentismo, o desejo de abandono – abandono.
As questões da nossa pesquisa incidiram sobre a identificação dos factores de insatisfação e suas manifestações, dos paradoxos na docência e as causas actuais de abandono. O objectivo geral foi avaliar os factores de insatisfação docente nas escolas de um concelho do distrito de Santarém.
O estudo foi quantitativo e recorremos à aplicação de um questionário. Os dados foram tratados através do programa estatístico SPSS® versão 16.0.
Concluímos que a maioria dos professores sente-se realizada profissionalmente, mas a burocracia e o tempo de serviço para a aposentação são factores de insatisfação. 30,3% dos professores desejam abandonar a profissão, devido à desvalorização da profissão, à burocracia e à instabilidade profissional. Três razões principais condicionam essa decisão: dificuldade de emprego, razões económicas e idade.
Social expectations on teaching have been increasing lately and teachers are asked to play more diversified roles. Professional dissatisfaction has become one of the top research themes and a relevant social problem since the current demands and social and educational changes have an effect on how teaching is faced. Research relevantly considers some signs of dissatisfaction, such as: teaching fatigue-exhaustion, malaise, stress, absenteeism, the wish of resigning. Our research questions were focused on the causes of dissatisfaction and its signs, teaching paradoxes and the current causes of resignation. The main goal was to assess the causes of teachers‟ dissatisfaction in a municipality in Santarem. It was a quantitative study and we applied a questionnaire. The data was processed with the statistical software SPSS, version 16.0. We concluded that most teachers feel professionally satisfied but bureaucracy and the working period to retirement are causes of dissatisfaction. 30,3% of the teachers want to abandon their career because of its depreciation, bureaucracy and professional instability. Three main reasons affect that decision: the difficulty to find a job, economic reasons and age.
