In the last decades several studies have studied their impact on work and organizations. This study aimed to analyze the fluctuation of engagement over three stages, with the same participants, evaluating the pressures exerted in moments of external evaluations. The sample consisted of 133 teachers from the public basic education of Goias. The Panel method was used to estimate the levels of engagement, considering the research context and the constancy of data in time series. The results show that the environment influences the levels of work engagement, considering that these changes can compromise teacher health, as the imbalance between positive and negative aspects collaborate in their emotional instability. Therefore, the article discusses the context and the work requirements and deepens the understanding about the wear and tear of the teachers’ labor energy, at each evaluated moment, contributing to possible decision making.
