ABSTRACT
In the literature review, no national nor international studies were found, specifically showing the concept and the identification of PRF affecting the school non-teaching workers. Instead, the published research has either concentrated on the psychosocial study of teachers, or poring over the remaining school professionals only focusing on their role in the organizational structure and not directly addressing the non-teaching workers, despite of their importance in the maintenance and running of school activities. Thus, this study intends to fill this gap in terms of identification of PRF in the non-teaching school staff. For this purpose, the research hereby presented aims to identify situations of professional risk, to characterize the effects of occupational psychosocial risks, to identify preventive measures for these risks and to evaluate PRF in non-teaching staff of three clusters of schools in the Portuguese district of Santarém.
