Resumo

O bem-estar na educação ganhou relevância nos últimos anos, especialmente por seu impacto na qualidade dos sistemas educacionais. No contexto do ensino superior, o bem-estar do corpo docente tem recebido menos atenção em comparação com o bem-estar dos professores dos níveis de ensino anteriores. Este estudo tem como propósito identificar os aspectos do bem-estar do professorado universitário mais abordados na literatura científica, bem como os fatores que o promovem ou inibem. Apresenta-se uma revisão sistemática com base no guia PRISMA, nas bases de dados Scopus, WoS, SciELO e Dialnet. Foram incluídos artigos publicados entre 2015 e 2025, em inglês, espanhol e português. Após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram analisados 23 artigos. Em geral, os estudos centram-se no professorado sem especificar sua função, com exceção de alguns que abordam a função docente e investigadora, sem considerar a de gestão ou extensão. Os resultados evidenciam que a função docente, o bem-estar mental e as condições de trabalho são as áreas mais exploradas. Entre os fatores promotores, destacam-se a satisfação, o compromisso profissional e o bem-estar psicológico; entre os inibidores, o estresse, o esgotamento, a sobrecarga e as dificuldades sociais. Destaca-se a necessidade de aprofundar o estudo do bem-estar do professorado universitário a partir de uma perspectiva específica e integral, considerando a complexidade de seu perfil. Os achados orientam pesquisas futuras e lançam luz sobre o desenvolvimento de políticas institucionais que promovam ambientes de trabalho saudáveis no ensino superior.
