Introduction: Quality of Life at Work (QWL) has become an increasingly relevant issue
on the agenda of public policy managers, since the planning, development, monitoring
and evaluation of policies depend on the efficient use of available resources.
Therefore, this research proposed to evaluate studies on Quality of Life at Work in
health professionals and to identify which factors most influence the quality of life of
these workers. Method: through the analysis of scientific papers published between
the years 2017 and 2021, whose guiding question used was: What are the factors of
influence on the Quality of Work Life of health professionals. The Scielo (Scientific
Electronic Library Online) database was used, in which 81 studies were identified, 18
of which were selected for analysis. Results: in the 18 articles analyzed, 8 factors were
identified as influencing Quality of Work Life, which had a total of 40 citations. These
factors were: work-related illness; physical environment; organizational environment;
external factors related to the user's social vulnerability situation; life habits; work
hours; compensation; and satisfaction with the work performed. Conclusion: this
study demonstrated that QWL depends on multiple factors, whether intrinsic to the
individual and the organization to which he is integrated or extrinsic in relation to his
social and extra-organizational context, highlighting the need for periodic studies on
the subject in order to subsidize public and private managers in the implementation of
the most appropriate measures to reduce the level of dissatisfaction of health
professionals with their work.
