“Mais vale a gente colocar no Instagram o nosso trabalho que no Lattes”

Abstract

The study consists in a qualitative analysis of data that was obtained through a Scientific Initiation project funded by Fundect, aiming to explore and understand the intersubjective and intrapsychic aspects of work organization related to the distress of higher education professors at a public university. Additionally, the research also sought to identify the existence of collective defensive strategies that might arise in response to workplace challenges. This approach enabled a discussion on the importance of peer recognition in the work environment, along with other factors of subjective mobilization in the face of distress, as well as the effects of managerialist management on the work organization.
