Micromachismos en las relaciones laborales en una empresa privada en la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

This research arises from identifying micromachismos in labor relations in a private company in the city of Guayaquil with the purpose of identifying how these influence gender relations. This study was carried out using a qualitative methodology, applying a semi-structured interview to female collaborators of a private company; here relevant data of the study population were known. To carry out a comprehensive analysis of this research, two relevant approaches have been taken for the present study, such as the Gender and Constructivist approaches, which allowed an in-depth analysis for the elaboration of results. In addition, several methodological elements that contribute to the design of the present study are presented. Among the main results of this study, it is identified that, despite the different programs, policies and laws that indicate the inclusion of women in all spaces of interaction with the purpose of promoting gender equality, there have been gender barriers to achieve it, since the social constructions of the human being have a greater social representation. It is important to highlight that gender-based discrimination not only affects women in terms of employment, but also has an impact on their psychological and social well-being. Based on the above, the authors indicate that limited access to adequate job opportunities can generate frustration, demotivation and social exclusion, thus perpetuating a cycle of inequality and marginalization.
