Percepciones de las condiciones laborales y bienestar laboral de trabajadores de una empresa en Guayaquil.

Abstract

This research, entitled “Perceptions of Working Conditions and Employee Well-being at a Company in Guayaquil,” aims to analyze employees' perceptions of their working conditions. To achieve this objective, the definitions of working conditions, employee well-being, and perceptions proposed by various authors were analyzed. This study employed a qualitative, descriptive, and hermeneutic approach. The sample consisted of five individuals from the operational and administrative areas. Semi-structured interviews were used as the data collection instrument. The diagnostic phase identified employees' perceptions of their working conditions, including contractual stability, workload, physical environment, and interpersonal relationships, as well as the factors influencing their well-being within the pharmaceutical company located in Guayaquil. Furthermore, it was evident that, although the company adheres to certain guidelines, there are factors that influence employees' perceptions of their well-being and working conditions, revealing opportunities for improvement in order to build more dignified, healthy, and humane work environments.
