The objective of the present study was to determine the influence that the levels of efford-reward and overcomitment at work have on the university teachers mental health in relation to the vulnerability to the development of burnout, depression and sleep disorder. It is a cross-sectional correlative and descriptive research.

The sample consisting of 510 university professors, of both genders, that were in professional practice and belonged to institutions of higher education, located in the cities of the Paraiba Valley (Vale do Paraíba), in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. In the collection of data five instruments have been used. Data Questionnaire of Identification of the Sample; Beck Inventory of Depression; Questionnaire of Effort-Reward Imbalance at Work; Questionnaire of Adult's Sleep; Inventory of Burnout from Malasch.

The results obtained were through techniques of analysis of multiple regression and generalized linear model with logarithmic connection function followed by variance analysis and post hoc Scheffé test.

The main results were: the levels of effort-reward, except overcommitment, had influence on the burnout, depression and sleep disorder. Only the independent variable academic area was predictive of five disorders, among the 7 ones studied. The university teachers Sleep (insomnia and sleep complaints), Depression, and Burnout Disorders prevalences were greater than the same prevalence in the general population. In the work environment where there is a balance between the levels of effort and reward it has been suggested that less burnout syndrome disorders, depression and sleep disorders will be found.

Key words: burnout, sleep, depression, effort-reward, overcommitment, mental health, university professors.
