O PERFIL DE QUALIDADE DE VIDA DE SERVIDORES APOSENTADOS E PENSIONISTAS DE UMA INSTITUIÇÃO FEDERAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR

Abstract

With the improvement of social conditions, the life expectancy of the world's population has increased, resulting in a growing number of elderly people. In Brazil, the trend is towards accelerated aging, with projections indicating a greater proportion of people aged 60 or over in the coming decades. The aging process brings challenges to organizations, and quality of life is an important aspect in this context, since longevity must be accompanied by physical, mental and social well-being. The need for adaptations, including the review and implementation of organizations' human resources management policies, is evident. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify the quality of life profile of retired employees and pensioners of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), in order to present an unprecedented diagnosis of this population's quality of life for the institution. The research has a mixed approach, using quantitative and qualitative techniques. Initially, a systematic review of the literature was conducted in the Scopus, Web of Science and Science Direct databases, and the most appropriate tools for assessing people's quality of life were identified, opting, in this study, to use the WHOQOL-BREF and WHOQOL-OLD from the World Health Organization (WHO). Sixty-three elderly people, including retirees and pensioners of the institution, were interviewed with the help of the Survey Monkey platform. The data were analyzed using the descriptive technique for quantitative data and the triangular technique for qualitative data, with the combination and interpretation of the identified quality of life indices. It is expected that, with the results obtained, the study can support UFMS and public institutions in the implementation of personnel management policies and the development of actions aimed at elderly people.
