The present study aims to describe and analyze how presenteeism and organizational commitment of employees are outlined at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN), a public organization, over the expansion of the institution. In the last five years, the number of campi went from two to sixteen, thus multiplying the number of employees. This empirical research is characterized by a descriptive and qualitative approach. The questionnaire WLQ-8 was used as a technique for data collection which addresses the presenteeism with the inclusion of two subjective questions addressing the issues Commitment and Presenteeism. The results indicate that employees of IFRN present a high level of commitment to their activities and also a low level of presenteeism. Given the limitations of the study, suggestions for future research are described.
