Evaluación de riesgos psicosociales en el personal administrativo del gobierno provincial del Azuay

Abstract

Abstract: The present study assessed psychosocial risks among administrative staff of the Provincial Government of Azuay, focusing on identifying and proposing improvements to mitigate these risks. The methodology employed was exploratory and quantitative, using a cross-sectional design to gather data through a survey technique. This involved administering a structured questionnaire developed by the Ministry of Labor to all 16 administrative employees. Findings indicated that while no high risks were recorded overall, specific dimensions such as leadership, workplace harassment, and working conditions showed significantly high risk levels among certain groups, particularly men and longer-tenured employees. The response plan prioritizes reducing risk levels in key dimensions such as workload and leadership, along with implementing protocols to prevent and manage workplace and sexual harassment. Additionally, recommendations include promoting work-life balance through awareness campaigns and support options for employees at high risk of work addiction.
