Abstract

Emotional exhaustion is a growing problem in the teaching profession, affecting their well-being and work performance, compromising the quality of student training. This can have negative consequences on the worker's physical and mental health, as well as their ability to teach and motivate their students. This study aims to analyze the factors that affect the emotional exhaustion of university teachers in the public sector, with the purpose of identifying strategies and recommendations that can contribute to improving the quality of work life and the emotional well-being of these professionals. This project was characterized by a descriptive level of research with a quantitative and qualitative approach. Therefore, for this article, the survey and interview will be selected as methods to further explore the problem raised. The results indicated that an important part of the teachers (42.46%) frequently present emotional fatigue, this is due to work overload and the pressure to fulfill their responsibilities in the educational field. In this sense, it was revealed that most educational institutions did not implement effective organizational policies or practices to prevent emotional fatigue in their university teachers. However, strategies will be identified to combat emotional exhaustion. Among them, the collection of data through surveys to monitor the morale of teachers stands out.
