Impacto del estrés laboral en el bienestar psicológico de los trabajadores operativos de una empresa privada

Abstract

The aim of this research is to assess the impact of work stress on the psychological wellbeing of operatives in a private company by applying two psychometric scales (ILOWHO Work Stress and Ryff's Psychological Well-being) in order to find out whether the work stress of operative workers is negatively related to psychological well-being. Data was collected using a quantitative approach. The sample was non-probabilistic and consisted of 20 workers residing in the Cayambe canton whose ages ranged from 18 to 50 years old. Data collection was carried out using the Google Forms tool. The form was sent to potential collaborators through a link and was completed in a self-directed manner. The research had a correlational approach and data review was carried out using SPSS statistical software. The findings reveal that there is an inverse relationship between job stress and psychological well-being in the participants. This means that as stress decreases, psychological well-being increases. The conclusion section details reflections on the results obtained and provides several suggestions based on the research conducted.
