Percepciones de los colaboradores de una empresa petrolera del cantón La Joya de los Sachas sobre la influencia de los riesgos psicosociales en su desempeño laboral.

Abstract

This study analyzed the influence of psychosocial risks on the job performance of employees at an oil company in La Joya de los Sachas, focusing on dimensions such as Workload and Work Pace, Recovery, Support and Assistance, Workplace Harassment, Work Addiction, Working Conditions, and Double Presence. Through interviews, coping strategies employed by the staff to manage these risks in their daily tasks were identified. The findings reveal that although employees have effective mechanisms, such as task redistribution and mutual support, challenges persist in areas like insufficient recovery and equipment maintenance. Disconnecting from work during rest days and balancing work and personal responsibilities were identified as key factors for sustainable performance. Recommendations include optimizing workload, improving working conditions, and strengthening technical and administrative assistance. This study highlights the importance of a safe and well-managed work environment to mitigate the negative effects of psychosocial risks and promote efficient and healthy job performance.
