• Abstract:

  Well-being at work is a concept that goes beyond the mere absence of tiredness or illness, involving satisfaction, engagement and purpose in the professional environment. This study explores the well-being of librarians in federal university libraries, highlighting challenges such as poor infrastructure, scarce resources and high demands. Based on a literature review, the paper proposes interventions to improve the conditions of these professionals, such as ergonomic readjustment, continuous technological training, mutual support networks and professional recognition policies. Although limited by the lack of empirical data, the study reinforces the importance of well-being as a key element for workers' health and the quality of the services provided. Investing in the well-being of librarians contributes to the success of libraries as knowledge centers, promoting innovation, engagement and support for education and research.
