Abstract

Considering that the organizations have been witnessing an increasing occupation of women in the labor market, as well as the changes in their role in society and their experiences as professional-mothers, there are challenges to the conciliation between professional and mother activities. This case study on maternity and work at the Dean of Student Affairs / UFC aims to analyze the challenges of reconciling maternity and work among the women who make up the Dean of Student Affairs / UFC. To do so, it is necessary to review the literature, approaching the main authors on the subject, explore the concept of maternity, from its origin to the present day, as well as its changes over the years and discuss the challenges of the relationship between motherhood and the work of mothers with higher education. For this, field research was developed, whose methodology used is supported by exploratory approaches, qualitative and quantitative described, as well as the use of the questionnaires type instrument, in Google Forms, to collect these data, through 24 questions, applied to a population of 15 women, mothers and leased in the Pro-Rector of Student Affairs / UFC.
