Incidencia del estrés laboral en el rendimiento académico de estudiantes que trabajan de la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The present research work aims to determine the impact of occupational stress on the academic performance of students who work, specifically in the field of Business Administration, in the face-to-face modality at the Faculty of Economics and Business at the Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil. The theoretical framework covers various theories, concepts, and reference studies that serve as a starting point to substantiate the research's relevance and the methods to be used, providing a basis for the discussion of the results. The methodology employed is a non-experimental, correlational study with a quantitative approach, involving the collection of primary data through surveys administered to students in the mentioned program. Among the results obtained, there is an initial descriptive analysis of the variables, highlighting values such as the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, which achieves a very high level of reliability with a value of 0.973. Mention is also made of moderately positive correlation values, such as the Spearman correlation coefficient of 0.685, suggesting a significant influence of occupational stress on academic performance in certain cases, thus supporting the hypotheses formulated in the research. In addition, Chi-square tests with specific values are used to support the acceptance or rejection of the hypotheses. Finally, recommendations are provided for students, workplaces, and future research regarding relevant dimensions and the search for solutions to the issue.
