To assess the association between the perception of pressure to publish academic work with job satisfaction and stress.
Cross-sectional study with 64 graduate advisors from a public university in the city of São Paulo. Data collection conducted via an online questionnaire that included: sociodemographic, work and health data; Occupational Stress Indicator Job Satisfaction Scale and Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) model. To assess the perception of pressure to publish academic work the advisors answered a numerical scale, assigning a score from 0 to 10 to how pressured they felt to publish their work (being 0 no pressure and 10 high pressure). Later, the generalized linear model was used to test the factors associated to high perception of pressure to publish academic work, adjusted for working time, academic management role and productivity grant.
Advisors who had already worked in a higher education institution, who performed part of the work at home and who reported work stress were more likely to show perception of extreme pressure to publish academic work. This perception was associated with greater effort and over-commitment, as well as a greater imbalance between the effort employed and the reward received at work.
The findings suggest that the professors' work organization and mental health are interrelated: the higher the perception of pressure to publish academic work, the greater the stress. However, this result does not seem to be reflected in the job satisfaction (or dissatisfaction). The apparently deliberate extension of working hours hides the precariousness and increased work to which professors have been subjected in recent years by public policies that commercialize education in Brazil.
评估对发表学术工作的压力感知与工作满意度和压力之间的关系。
这是一项横断面研究，共有来自圣保罗市一所公立大学的 64 名研究生导师参与。通过在线问卷收集数据，问卷内容包括：社会人口统计学、工作和健康数据；职业压力指标工作满意度量表和努力-回报失衡（ERI）模型。为了评估对发表学术工作的压力感知，导师们回答了一个数字量表，对发表工作的压力程度从 0 到 10 进行评分（0 表示没有压力，10 表示压力很大）。然后，使用广义线性模型来检验与发表学术工作的高感知压力相关的因素，这些因素经过工作时间、学术管理角色和生产力补助的调整。
曾在高等教育机构工作、在家中完成部分工作以及报告工作压力的导师更有可能对发表学术工作感到极端压力。这种感知与更大的努力和过度投入有关，以及工作中投入的努力与获得的回报之间的不平衡更大。
研究结果表明，教授的工作组织和心理健康是相互关联的：对发表学术工作的压力感知越高，压力就越大。然而，这一结果似乎并没有反映在工作满意度（或不满）上。工作时间的明显延长掩盖了近年来巴西教育商业化的公共政策给教授带来的不稳定和工作压力增加。
