La sobrecarga laboral y su influencia en el sistema familiar : percepciones de los colaboradores de una empresa privada de la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The project was focused on work overload and its influence on the family system from the perspective of collaborators taking as a reference a company dedicated to the manufacture of steel materials and construction tools in Guayaquil. It is proposed that work is a right and its access should allow the exercise of a remunerated activity within a healthy environment; however, in this organization there are conditions that increase the workload such as rotating shifts, overtime and pressure to complete the production days, being time that employees could allocate to their family environment. To identify if there is work overload and how it influences the family environment, a mixed methodology was used, applying the F-Psico questionnaire to measure work overload and family work interaction to know how the work environment influences the family. A Focus Group was also applied to five wives of workers who presented their perceptions about the study variables, throwing out field work that there is work overload related to intense working hours, limitation of breaks during and outside working hours, poor teamwork , lack of motivation and incentives, low participation of the human team in decision-making, among other factors that feed the stress of the perceived worker in the family environment, generating conflicts with its members who recommend you resign. The family proves to be the main motivation for employees to continue in their position but the conditions motivate the stress that could influence the development of diseases or occupational accidents, increased staff turnover and lost productivity.
