El estrés laboral y su incidencia en el desempeño laboral en docentes del Colegio Técnico San José de la ciudad de Quito en el periodo 2022-2023.

Abstract

The objective of this research project is to analyze the incidence of work stress in the work performance of teachers at Colegio Técnico San José in the city of Quito. Job stress is considered a factor that affects the physical and mental health of workers and their job performance. With the return to face-to-face classes, the new work modalities and the consequences on students due to the virtual modality, teachers face new challenges and the scarce research on work stress and work performance in the Ecuadorian environment and even more in a post confinement period makes the study opportune. The research project has a correlational scope, cross-sectional and a mixed methodology, where quantitative and qualitative instruments were used; for the measurement of the work stress variable, the ILO-WHO Work Stress questionnaire was used, while for the measurement of work performance, the Liliana Eugenio Questionnaire was used. Among the results obtained, it was determined that work stress does not affect the work performance of teachers, this is due to protective factors found in the educational institution, such as work environment, social support, cohesion, and adequate infrastructure.
