Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze, through the Private Higher Education Teaching Work Precariousness Scale (EPTDESP), teaching work in private Brazilian higher education institutions (HEIs), focusing on its precarization. In this exploratory research, a quantitative survey study was conducted with 607 private HEIs professors from the South and Southeast regions of Brazil. Analysis included descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, and hypothesis tests. The results corroborated recent discussions that show the intense process of precariousness suffered by private HEIs professors in Brazil. By the hypothesis tests, it was confirmed that the type of employment bond significantly affects the perception of the degree of precariousness in these HEIs, and that the degree of precariousness significantly affects the interest of the professor in entering the teaching career in public HEIs.
