This paper is part of a larger study. It aims to analyze the concept of Quality of Life at Work(QLW) at IFRN campuses in Natal in comparison with campuses that show results with opposite tendencies, related to the most significant factors: working conditions, well-being and linkage between work and social life. This is a qualitative descriptive study and the open survey formis used as research instrument. The sample was composed of 774 participants. The working condition was the most significant factor in almost all analyzed macro-regions – with the exception of the new campuses, which had the well-being as the main factor. Regarding the working conditions factor, Natal Central Campus and Cidade Alta Campus show opposite tendencies, presenting aspects such as security and infrastructure in the first positions. In contrast to the central tendency, the well-being factor has as its main aspects the physical activity and nourishment – at EAD Campus, Zona Norte, Parnamirim and Reitoria. Concerning the linkage between work and social life, we emphasize the aspects motivation and balance between work and social life at campuses: EAD, Parnamirim, Zona Norte and Cidade Alta. In spite of the importance of a macro-diagnosis, it is crucial to analyze the data of each campus in order to guarantee the reliability of its peculiarities in the diagnostic of the concept of QLW at IFRN.
