description The current context of Brazilian higher education favors the workload of teachers, due, among other factors, to the increase in the proportion of students per teacher. In addition, the current instability in public policies in education tends to add other factors that may impact both classroom performance and teachers' quality of life differently in public and private education. Emotional intelligence has attracted growing interest from academia, and it is well known that it can enable better performance at work, better shielding from possible harmful effects of the professional environment and better quality of life. Given its importance, this study aimed to verify whether there are significant differences in levels of emotional intelligence among public and private higher education teachers in Brazil. For this, the Wong and Law (2002) scale was used to measure the level of emotional intelligence in four distinct dimensions with a sample of 415 individuals. Research has identified that teachers working in private universities have a higher level of emotional intelligence and suggests professional training in emotional intelligence to mitigate some harmful effects of the environment on their well-being and teaching process.

El contexto actual de la educación superior brasileña favorece la sobrecarga de trabajo para los maestros, debido, entre otros factores, al aumento en la proporción de estudiantes por maestro. Además, la inestabilidad actual en las políticas públicas en educación tiende a agregar otros factores que pueden afectar tanto el desempeño en el aula como la calidad de vida de los docentes de manera diferente en la educación pública y privada. La inteligencia emocional ha atraído un creciente interés de la academia y es bien sabido que puede permitir un mejor rendimiento en el trabajo, una mejor protección contra los posibles efectos nocivos del entorno profesional y una mejor calidad de vida. Dada su importancia, este estudio tuvo como objetivo verificar si existen diferencias significativas en niveles de inteligencia emocional entre docentes de educación superior públicos y privados en Brasil. Para esto, se usó la escala de Wong y Law (2002) para medir el nivel de inteligencia emocional en cuatro dimensiones distintas con una muestra de 415 individuos. La investigación ha identificado que los maestros que trabajan en universidades privadas tienen un mayor nivel de inteligencia emocional y sugiere capacitación profesional en inteligencia emocional para mitigar algunos efectos nocivos del medio ambiente en su bienestar y proceso de enseñanza. O contexto atual da educação superior brasileira favorece sobrecarga de trabalho aos docentes, devido, entre outros fatores, ao aumento na proporção do número de alunos por professor. Além disso, a atual instabilidade nas políticas públicas na educação tende a adicionar outros fatores que podem impactar tanto o desempenho em sala de aula como a qualidade de vida dos docentes de forma diferenciada no ensino público e privado. A inteligência emocional tem atraído crescente interesse da academia e já é sabido que pode possibilitar melhor desempenho no trabalho, maior blindagem a possíveis efeitos nocivos do ambiente profissional e melhor qualidade de vida Dada sua importância, este estudo teve por objetivo verificar se há diferenças significativas nos níveis de inteligência emocional entre professores de ensino superior  público e privado no Brasil. Para isso utilizou-se a escala de Wong e Law (2002) para medir o nível de inteligência emocional em quatro dimensões distintas com uma amostra de 415 indivíduos. A pesquisa identificou que professores atuantes nas universidades privadas possuem maior nível de inteligência emocional e sugere a capacitação profissional em inteligência emocional para mitigar alguns efeitos danosos do meio sobre o seu bem-estar e processo didático. 2020-06-13 2022-03-21T16:36:56Z 2022-03-21T16:36:56Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Text Texto Texto https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/riesup/article/view/8657189 10.20396/riesup.v7i0.8657189 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/69111 por https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/riesup/article/view/8657189/22484 https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/riesup/article/view/8657189/22549 Copyright (c) 2021 Revista Internacional de Educação Superior https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf application/pdf Brazil: Contemporary Brasil: Contemporáneo Brasil; Contemporâneo Universidade Estadual de Campinas Revista Internacional de Educação Superior; Vol. 7 (2021): Rolling Pass; e021016 Revista Internacional de Educação Superior; Vol. 7 (2021): Publicación Contínua; e021016 Revista Internacional de Educação Superior; v. 7 (2021): Publicação Contínua; e021016 2446-9424
