The results demonstrate that all the criteria presents a strong correlation with the QWL of the workers of the civil construction area, and the criteria, adequate and fair compensation (50,00%) and future for continued growth and security (53,00%), had presented the worst level of satisfaction, while the criteria social relevance of work life (69,35%) and opportunity to use and develop human capacities (68,48%) had presented the best levels of satisfaction. It is concluded that, though the level of satisfaction of QWL demonstrates as score 61,76%, the satisfaction of the workers of the sector of civil construction is very limited in function of the remuneration level who impact directly in all the others criteria of QWL.
