Abstract

The objective of this degree work is to understand the work stress in the operational workers of a shrimp company located in Durán, period 2024, in order to establish the levels of this occupational risk. For this, it will be supported by a mixed approach methodological design, with a phenomenological method, descriptive level and transversal type. Their sample was determined from 20 workers who were determined by non-probabilistic convenience sampling. And in this way, it was possible to compile the main results that in this shrimp farm there are some areas with a greater presence of work stress, especially when workers are imposed more tasks than those agreed upon, and the high demand and innovation that is required of them always. Although it should also be mentioned that the relationship between colleagues and bosses is supportive and positive, which has kept this work team standing. We can also conclude that the organization must assume the responsibility of taking care of the well-being and health of its employees to avoid consequences such as stress, physical and mental health problems.
