Identificación de riesgos psicosociales en el entorno laboral: Estrategias para mitigar y mejorar el bienestar en una empresa multinacional de fabricación de aditivos para la construcción sede Durán

Abstract

Psychosocial risks in the workplace are one of the greatest contemporary challenges for occupational health and safety. These risks, known as (P.R.) in this study, are harmful circumstances to the physical and mental health of employees, emerging when psychosocial factors in the work environment are not properly managed. This study, which is qualitative in focus and descriptive in scope with a non-experimental design, examines the P.R. in a multinational company dedicated to the production of additives for construction, located in Durán, using the FPSICO version 4.1 questionnaire, applied to a sample of 30 workers from different departments, evaluated based on nine psychosocial factors. The analysis of this research focused on the summary of exposure for each factor, in which the findings revealed that most employees present an adequate situation regarding psychosocial risks. However, the psychosocial factors that present a high and very high risk level are: Work Time (WT), Workload (WL), Psychological Demands (PD), Participation/Supervision (PS), Role Performance (RP), and Social Support and Relationships (SSR). As a result, a strategy plan was developed to mitigate the assessed risks, aiming to improve the organization's well-being. Regarding the factors of Autonomy (AU) and Variety/Content (VC), risk levels ranged from an adequate situation to moderate risk. Finally, the Interest in the Worker/Compensation (IWC) revealed only an adequate situation. Through this experience, we can deepen the understanding of how these elements affect the work environment, while providing resources to reflect upon and create strategies that strengthen well-being within the organization.
