Abstract

This article deals with a research focused on the theme of occupational stress, approaching the librarian activity at the Universidade Estadual do Piauí – Uespi (Piauí State University). It presents a brief history of the emergence of stress and its concept and particularly the conceptualization of occupational stress. Our study has qualitative character contemplating literature review and field research. Data collection took place interviewing five  librarians whose duties are being developed in three campuses of Uespi, in the city of Teresina (PI). The five librarians were asked to answer open questions which we later have analyzed from technical analysis content. It is demonstrated by the most of respondents that the profession is not perceived as stressful. It is also evidenced that the stressors for professional librarians are closely associated with two aspects: the first refers to reconcile the activities required for daily work and the second concerns the level of satisfaction of individuals.
