The objective of this work was to identify the psychosocial risk factors (PSRF) that most influence the quality of life of university personnel and the sociodemographic and labor characteristics that differentiate the perception of PSRF after 15 months of confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a quantitative, cross-sectional and explanatory study. The sample was non-probabilistic for convenience that included 156 collaborators from universities in central Mexico. Participants responded online the Reference Guide III and Reference Guide V of the Official Mexican Standard 035 of the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare, as well as the HRQoL questionnaire, Short Form-36. Among the results, it stands out that 57.7 % of the sample reported FRPS at medium, high and very high levels. Vitality was the worst evaluated subscale (M = 65.3); stepwise regression models showed that work-family interference (WFI) explained vitality with 19 % of the variance (which increased to 23% when violence was included). The sociodemographic and labor characteristics associated with a higher perception of risk were: age 40 to 49 years, divorced marital status, master's degree, full-time teaching position, and open-ended contract. The low vitality explained by the WFI may be the result of the long period of unplanned teleworking, which seems to affect middle-aged adults more.
