Motivación laboral para el bienestar, desempeño y permanencia de colaboradores de empresas del sector industrial

Abstract

The research analyzes work motivation and its relationship with well-being, performance, and employee retention in Ecuador’s industrial sector. It is justified by the need to generate empirical evidence that supports human talent management and contributes to reducing labor turnover. The objective is to determine how work motivation influences well-being, performance, and retention. A mixed approach, descriptive scope, and non-experimental design are adopted. The information was collected through surveys using a Likert-type scale applied to employees, as well as interviews with management staff. Direct observation was employed. The group included operational and administrative workers. The results show internal factors such as recognition, professional development, and sense of belonging that influence satisfaction and work commitment, while external factors such as leadership, organizational climate, and working conditions influence well-being and performance.
