Abstract

Abstract: The research conducted focused on evaluating and examining how psychosocial risks affect the employees of Ashcroft Inc., in their job performance. This study is crucial as it will allow the establishment of preventive and corrective strategies to mitigate potential adverse effects, such as occupational diseases. During the research, a wide range of literature was reviewed, including books, theses, scientific publications, and technical regulations, which provided a solid theoretical foundation for the analysis. The operationalization of the variables was carried out, focusing on psychosocial risks as the independent variable. The Psychosocial Risk Assessment questionnaire from the Ministry of Labor of Ecuador was used, which includes 58 questions spread over 8 dimensions, applied to a group of 12 workers. The collected data were processed and encoded using a tabulation table, which generated a statistical report detailing the identified risk levels. Finally, the results of the psychosocial risk assessments applied to the workers were compared, obtaining risk levels in each of their dimensions. Through the tabulation tool of the Ministry of Labor, it was concluded that there is a significant correlation between psychosocial risks and the job performance of the employees of Ashcroft Inc. In general, the results of the psychosocial risk assessment showed that the majority of those evaluated are classified in the low-risk category. Despite this, a considerable proportion is in the medium-risk category and a small fraction in the high-risk category.
