Abstract

Abstract: Psychosocial occupational risks, such as anxiety and stress, intensified by the pandemic of COVID-19, impact economic stability and generate vulnerability in the sector business. The pandemic accentuates work stress with uncertainty, fear of contagion and additional workload. Burnout syndrome, related to work stress sustained, presents emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and decreased work satisfaction. The investigation in workers in the south of Quito in 2023 adopted a quantitative, transversal, exploratory and descriptive approach to identify risk factors psychosocial. Using instruments such as the AdHoc, MBI-GS, CoPosQ-III and DASS-21, the results were compared with previous studies in Ecuador. The sampling was non-probabilistic casual-accidental, at various ages, marital statuses and experiences labor. The results revealed high levels of emotional exhaustion, low levels of personal fulfillment and minimal depersonalization at work. Levels were highlighted relatively high psychological demands and job security, with strong social support. Although the majority showed normal levels of mental health, a small percentage experienced high or severe levels, signaling mental health problems in some individuals.
