Abstract

The general objective of this degree work is to analyze the incidence of COVID 19 and the implementation of telework in SMEs in the automotive and auto parts commercial sector in Guayaquil. The applied methodology is quantitative, descriptive and correlational approach. The results obtained stipulated that SMEs in the automotive and auto parts sector of Guayaquil were affected by the covid-19 pandemic, both in sales and in workplaces. This was verified by means of the survey carried out among the managers and owners of these companies, which reflected that the year 2020 had a decrease in relation to the year 2019. Likewise, in the first three months of the pandemic, 76.8% of companies in this sector had to reduce its staff. The implementation of teleworking by SMEs in the commercial automotive and auto parts sector of Guayaquil did not increase productivity, profitability, or jobs in these companies, so the second hypothesis was not fulfilled. Among the notable results are that: 75.6% met their objectives and goals; 68.3% kept their jobs, while 11.8% hired more staff.
