Resumen
Higher education has changed over time by trying to respond to the new challenges of contemporary society. Theredefinition of the roles played by institutions and people who are part of them, necessarily leads to a new policyand institutional practice design that proactively contributes to the overall development of society. In this sense, theorganization of higher education institutions is important, as well as the kind of relationships that are establishedthere. The aim of this study is to assess the relationships between people management practices, organizationalcommitment and job satisfaction, as perceived by nursing professors in public schools of higher education in Portugaland Brazil. It is a quantitative research, using an online questionnaire, which uses descriptive statistics to characterizethe respondents, confirmatory factor analysis to validate the structure of the scales applied to measure the threeconstructs and structural equation modeling to confirm the research hypotheses. The results show that the perceptionof people management practices contributes positively to organizational commitment and to job satisfaction, and thatthese two constructs are positively correlated.
