The objective of this research is to study the impacts of precariousness of work in graduate faculty members at Federal University of Paraíba. In order to achieve this goal, the following points were defined as specific objectives of this work: a) to know the perception of teachers about institutional changes which affected their work; b) to describe the nature and central characteristics of the faculty s work and how it was changed due to institutional modifications which resulted in an increasing precariousness of work; c) to analyze the impacts of institutional changes in overwork, extended hours and demanded functional flexibility for teachers. This work was based on themes such as: capitalism crisis, precariousness of work, higher education reform and precariousness of faculty s work. About methodology, it was applied the interpretative paradigm with a qualitative approach and the chosen method was a case study. The research was done with seven graduate faculty members of UFPB (one of them is ADUFPB president) by interviews with a semi- structure guide. The interviews were recorded and the transcription was subdivided in three categories to be analyzed: the ideology of institutional changes in faculty s work; the precariousness of work in higher education and the worker suffering. The results of this research indicate that the graduate faculty members were overloaded because they have many different obligations. Therefore, they compromise their leisure time as well as family moments and resting time. Moreover, it was noticed that the pressure on publishing implicates a competition environment in graduate programs and repeated publications as there are innumerous requirements and teachers have to engage themselves in others activities.
