Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the perceptions of collaborators about work overload in a company in the pharmaceutical logistics sector in Guayaquil during the year 2024. To analyze the information collected and respond to the stated objectives, the Human Talent Management Theory has been used. The development of this research has a mixed approach, with an applied and descriptive level. A survey and interviews were carried out with collaborators of a private company in the city of Guayaquil. Among the main results, it is possible to show that the main requirement in work activities is memorization, requiring the worker to remember the tasks assigned during the day. When there is pressure to complete activities, mental exhaustion may occur, which leads to a decrease in productivity. Excessive workload on the worker in the long term can affect their health, in addition to influencing the individual's social environment. Likewise, the existence of weekend jobs is evident, thus influencing their rest and the time they can share with their family, take trips, go on vacation, among other activities that would strengthen the relationship between its members.
