Estrés laboral en los funcionarios de una institución pública de la ciudad de Salitre en el año 2024.

Abstract

The main objective of this research study is to analyze the impact of workrelated stress on employees of a public institution in the Salitre canton in order to generate research input. Its specific objectives include identifying the workrelated factors that contribute to stress, determining the consequences of work-related stress on the physical and emotional health of employees, and understanding the impact of work-related stress on their interpersonal relationships and social life. A quantitative methodology was used, with a descriptive and explanatory research level. Therefore, a sample of 218 employees from a public company in the city of Salitre was used. A structured questionnaire consisting of 25 questions was administered. A considerable percentage of employees reported that their work responsibilities were excessive. This indicates that, despite having the tools to manage their work, workload continues to be a significant source of stress.
