El teletrabajo y los factores de riesgos psicosociales ocasionado por la pandemia COVID-19, pertenecientes a la provincia del Guayas.

Abstract

This work arises as a questioning of what has been raised worldwide, the health crisis caused by COVID-19, a virus that caused the death of many people, leading Ecuadorians to a change of life. One of these changes was teleworking, which is a new modality that was implemented in the face of the impossibility of leaving the home and, through this means, continuing to work. Professionals had to adopt this modality to continue exercising their profession. What this research seeks is to know the psychosocial risk factors generated by Teleworking that were immersed in professionals during COVID-19. The research is a mixed, exploratory level, applied type and hermeneutical method. Therefore, it is possible to achieve in a systemic and comprehensive way, the object of study of this research. Semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire were applied to measure psychosocial risks. This was implemented to six professionals from two different areas, Education and Health, obtaining as a main result that teleworking has allowed them to obtain economic support. Due to the change that working under this modality has represented, such as the long hours, stress, lack of space for the family or the little relationship with others, professionals indicate that adaptation was another difficulty due to the use of technology, since this was the tool to reach others, and although they had several training sessions, they believe that it was not enough for everything that teleworking demanded.
