Trabajo remoto y su impacto en la calidad de vida de los colaboradores en empresas de la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the impact of remote work on the quality of life of employees in companies in the city of Guayaquil. The study responds to the need to understand how this modality, consolidated after the pandemic, influences the physical and psychological well-being of workers in the local economic and cultural context. The applied methodology consisted of a quantitative approach with a descriptive and correlational scope, using a non-experimental cross-sectional design. A sample of 139 contributors was used through non-probabilistic convenience and snowball sampling. For data collection, two validated instruments were used: the CVT-GOHISALO questionnaire to measure quality of life and the La Cruz questionnaire to assess factors of remote work. The main findings reveal that remote work has a contradictory impact on quality of life. Institutional support, conditions of basic services at home and social relations were identified as factors that significantly improve the perception of well-being. However, there were negative effects on the reconciliation of family and work due to the dilution of boundaries between the two spaces. Finally, the results suggest that the hybrid model offers greater satisfaction and personal development compared to the fully remote modality, highlighting the importance of digital disconnection policies and organizational support.
