Los efectos de la inserción laboral en la calidad de vida personal de personas con discapacidad de una empresa farmacéutica en la ciudad de Quito.

Abstract

This research establishes the need to know how labor insertion affects people with disabilities in some of the dimensions of quality of life, since access to work is not widespread in the country despite what the legislation indicates current. Due to this, the objective is to determine what effects labor insertion had on the personal quality of life of workers with disabilities of a pharmaceutical company in the city of Quito. To achieve this, qualitative research is carried out, which allows people to be studied from a more personal and deeper dynamic. The support of this research is non-experimental description, since it is intended to take the data as it is in reality. As a study sample, there are six workers with disabilities from the pharmaceutical company, which have between 30 and 65% disability. For data collection, observation, a structured interview and a quality of life questionnaire were used to make these parameters visible. The results were analyzed from the perspective of axial codes and triangulation. The main results of the work showed that the quality of life of the workers increased due to labor insertion, prior to this, people felt useless and decayed. This was evidenced in the dimensions of Personal Development, Emotional Well-being and Material Well-being. It was found that the company has a broad policy of labor inclusion and motivation, so that part of the workers studied consider that they have the opportunity to promote and seek to prepare academically for it. Unfortunately, the real prospects of this group to ascend are low, but due to its profile, not the company's policies. The main conclusion is that labor insertion increases the quality of life of people with disabilities, and partly due to the company's philosophy, which balances what it gives with what it receives.
