Abstract

Abstract: The present study addresses the importance of mental health, psychological capital and Job satisfaction in Ecuadorian workers of the Municipal Government and a Unit Educational of the Morona Canton. The general objective was to determine the prevalence of these variables in said workers during the year 2023. A non-experimental design was used with a mixed and descriptive approach, applying a non-probabilistic accidental convenience sampling on a sample of 75 active workers. For data collection, used the Anxiety, Depression and Stress Scale (DASS-21), the Capital questionnaire Psychological (CPC-12) and a specific survey to evaluate job satisfaction, covering intrinsic and extrinsic aspects of work. The results showed a notable prevalence of symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress among workers evaluated. However, most reported moderate to high levels of job satisfaction. These findings highlight the need to implement psychological support programs, intervention strategies and improve working conditions to promote well-being emotional and job satisfaction.
