La sobre carga de trabajo como una modalidad de acoso laboral.

Abstract

This research investigates work overload in Ecuador as a covert form of workplace harassment, emphasizing the severe implications it has on workers' mental and physical health and how it is against fundamental rights. Work overload is assessed not just as an excessive accumulation of tasks but as an exercise of power abuse with significant legal and psychosocial impacts. The thesis underscores the inadequacy of legal definitions and explores national and comparative laws to suggest improvements in worker protection. The rationale behind this study is to identify and manage work overload, which is vital for both individual welfare and organizational health. Objectives encompass identifying and describing both workplace harassment and work overload, thorough scrutiny of pertinent legislation, and proposing recommendations for more effective regulation.
