“…Jiang and colleagues [149] demonstrated that such instructor-reported uncivil behaviors of students are related to faculty burnout and emotional exhaustion, raising questions on teaching effectiveness. Similar findings regarding academic entitlement and decreased faculty well-being were reported elsewhere [150,151], indicating that the conflict between university structures favoring consumer retention and satisfaction and classroom expectations by faculty can lead to dissatisfaction and anxiety [29]. Moreover, the profound changes experienced by universities, such as globalization and mobility, greater institutional autonomy, changes in governance and management, demanding institutional deliverables, changes in recruitment patterns with preference for short-term contracts, and increased administrative duties, have resulted in calamitous consequences on academic professionalism, academic freedom, and job security [152,153].…”

In recent years, there has been increasing recognition of mental health concerns in academia, with stress, burnout, anxiety, and depression being reported among faculty members. The demanding work environment, the need to balance personal and professional duties, and the constant pressure of productivity while navigating multiple tasks of teaching, research, mentorship, professional development, and service all impact the mental health and overall well-being of faculty. Higher education institutions have structurally changed as has the research landscape. These changes as well as faculty-specific and student-specific factors coupled to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic have led to profound effects on the mental health of academics. This paper is a narrative review of the pertinent literature describing faculty mental health and well-being. It summarizes the available evidence on factors influencing faculty mental health and shows the prevalence of anxiety, depression, stress, and burnout among faculty from various academic fields and along the whole academic ladder. Using a suggested framework that collates the efforts of leaders and faculty, the paper concludes by exploring strategies that promote work–life balance among academics and suggesting effective interventions to improve their mental health outcomes.

“…The teaching profession is one of a few in which the professional is "released" into the labour market, without a systematic follow-up by supervisors. These professionals are often faced with an unwelcoming environment, inhabited by colleagues unwilling to guide them or at least, share their doubts and listen to their problems, further complicating the early career process (HUBERMAN, 2013;DOYRAN;HACIFAZLIOĞLU, 2021).…”

Este artigo visa a apresentar resultados de uma pesquisa com foco no docente em início de carreira. O objetivo geral foi conhecer e analisar os dizeres dos professores do ensino superior sobre seu início de carreira em uma instituição pública. Para atingir o objetivo geral definimos como objetivos específicos: destacar elementos que influenciaram os sujeitos da pesquisa na decisão de se tornarem professores universitários; identificar as expectativas, dificuldades e desafios do docente universitário em início de carreira; verificar e analisar as perspectivas dos sujeitos da pesquisa quanto às suas necessidades formativas e evolução da sua trajetória docente. O referencial teórico foi alicerçado em estudos sobre docência universitária, saberes docentes e prática reflexiva. O percurso metodológico está fundamentado na abordagem qualitativa, através de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os sujeitos da pesquisa são onze docentes de diferentes áreas, com até três anos de experiência no magistério superior. As análises dos dados foram baseadas nos princípios da análise de conteúdo e seguindo as orientações da técnica da categorização. Os resultados permitiram identificar que, para a maioria dos professores participantes do estudo, o interesse pela pesquisa teve grande influência na escolha pela profissão; suas principais dificuldades estão ligadas às questões didático-pedagógicas e aos impasses na relação professor-aluno; e reconhecem a necessidade de uma formação pedagógica que contribua para a melhora das práticas em sala de aula e para despertar o interesse dos alunos. A pesquisa contribui para os estudos sobre docência universitária e nos leva a considerar a necessidade de iniciativas institucionais de apoio à inserção profissional.
