Introduction: The educational context faces diversity in modes of learning and teaching, requiring educational institutions to support both children and youth in their right to education. Educational adequacy depends on the performance of teachers, who face stress and burnout due to the high demands of their roles. Therefore, a positive work environment is crucial for teachers' motivation and satisfaction, directly impacting educational quality. Methodology: This is a quantitative research design. The sample consists of 1203 active teachers. The instrument used includes a questionnaire on personal and professional variables and a scale on Teacher Perception of Working Conditions. Results: The results show that teachers' working conditions are significantly influenced by gender, age, level of education, and economic responsibilities of these professionals. Discussion: Men and younger teachers appear to be more motivated and committed, while women and older teachers face greater emotional and family challenges. Conclusions: Improving the work environment in educational organizations is crucial to create environments where teachers can flourish professionally.
