La doble presencia en el ámbito laboral en docentes universitarias mujeres durante el confinamiento por covid 19.

Abstract

During the pandemic period, one of the elements that was drawn was the need to reconcile domestic life, family life and work; this reconciliation implied that people had to occupy the same physical space to carry out both activities, which may have led to some effects on the emotional level and work performance of university teachers, therefore, this research work aims to determine what are the main perceptions of university teachers about the double presence as a psychosocial risk factor and its influence on performance in the workplace, therefore, this study will be based on a qualitative research, for which a semi-structured interview was used in which a dialogue will be conducted with 6 teachers, 4 from the city of Quito and 2 from Santo Domingo, in order to know the reality of the same in front of the double presence. Finally, based on the main findings that have been identified, the teachers in Santo Domingo did not present major difficulties in attending to family, personal and work demands, while the main difficulties found in the teachers in the city of Quito were that there are no adequate institutional policies for work-family reconciliation. It is also important to highlight that there was an overload in their work position due to the different roles to be fulfilled in the face of this health crisis, on the other hand, the perception of the teachers was the lack of information on how to perform their work in this new reality and how this affected their work performance.
