Factores de riesgos psicosociales extra-laborales en los trabajadores de una empresa procesadora de alimentos ubicada en el norte de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The research arises in the face of the different problems raised in the workplace, considering that extra-labor psychosocial risk factors are focused on the family, social and economic space of the environment in which the worker operates, which have an impact on health physical, psychic and social of the person, called stress stimulus, which does not allow optimal development in their work profile. From the quantitative approach, a study of descriptive type, exploratory level and non-experimental method is proposed, achieving the approach to the object of investigation; For this, the survey obtained from the Battery of Instruments for the Evaluation of Psychosocial Risk Factors was applied, which was carried out with the population of 221 workers of a food processing company located in the north of Guayaquil. From the investigation carried out, a high level of dominance is evidenced through the seven aspects analyzed, reflecting a greater incidence of risk in four of them, which implies that the worker is in the exhaustion phase, leading to the appearance of diseases. This problem developed in the workplace is poorly studied, because for many persons this issue is associated with the work or physical space where they perform their activities, causing damage to both the worker and the company. As a main recommendation, the Social Worker is presented as a formal and informal educator, able to contribute and intervene with management and guidance measures aligned to the prevention of these risks.
