Abstract: Abstract A university campus can be considered similar to a miniature urban space. The residents’ moral and intellectual features are the main differences between the two spaces. Studies on job burnout suggest that the work environment, life and work satisfaction have a great influence on the quality of work performed. As the quality of education offered in University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest (UPB) is extremely important, this article aims to assess the quality of life in campus as it is perceived by professors in the University; we also intend to identify the aspects that can be improved, in order to obtain even better results regarding teaching and research activity. The study was carried out using a self-administered questionnaire, which was sent to UPB professors via email. We analyze their answers and discuss the results obtained. As a conclusion we calculate the Quality of Life Index for Professors IQoLP, and detect the issues that need to be addressed, as they have a negative influence on their performance.
