Percepciones de los trabajadores sociales de empresas privadas de Guayaquil sobre el acoso laboral en el sector empresarial.

Abstract

Ávila (2020) mentions that workplace bullying is a social problem that has a profoundly negative impact on the mental and physical health of workers. This phenomenon can manifest itself in various forms, such as humiliation and harassment in the work environment. It not only affects workers, who can suffer health problems, such as stress and depression, creating a toxic work environment that reduces productivity, since affected workers can experience high levels of stress, harming their well-being and performance in the workplace. This qualitative research is constituted as an exploratory design, which seeks to study from the perspective of Social Workers how the phenomenon of workplace harassment affects employees and also the company. A significant contribution is sought in society, in order to contribute with the incentive for researchers to continue studying this problem, from the social environment, linking it with the Social Work professional.
