             abstract = "The civil construction sector has experienced ongoing changes due 
                         to the economic globalization, new technologies, and competition. 
                         It demands a large number of workers that are often recruited 
                         outside their original city, far from their families, with low 
                         work conditions, and without guarantee of continuity in 
                         employment, which may affect their health and performance. This 
                         study presents an exploratory and descriptive study with a 
                         quantitative approach, conducted by the Job Diagnostic Survey 
                         (JDS), with 159 workers in the civil construction sector in 
                         Brazil. The objective is to assess the level of satisfaction with 
                         work, compare the results of different workers at the workplace, 
                         and contribute to the discussion about QWL. It was found that the 
                         variable General Satisfaction with Work obtained the most negative 
                         general average score among the personal and the professional 
                         results, pointing out little satisfaction with their work as a 
                         whole, which can be improved through training and increase workers 
                         empowerment. This study carried out a survey with the construction 
                         worker, subjects who are hardly evaluated in research on working 
                         conditions. The JDS questionnaire was an important tool in this 
                         evaluation, contributing to understanding the variables that 
                         impact on the performance of these workers. In this context, 
                         improving the quality of work life (QWL) make it possible to 
                         assist managers to help workers satisfaction at work.",
