Abstract:This research study addressed the issue of psychosocial risks that arise in organizations and how they can affect workers. It was planned as a general objective to identify the main psychosocial risk factors in workers of a private company dedicated to civil engineering works in the city of Guayaquil during the year 2020. The methodology used was framed in the quantitative paradigm, non-experimental, cross-sectional and descriptive. The sample was obtained in a non-probabilistic way, composed of 20 national and 20 foreign workers. The process was developed in the business space of a private company located in the city of Guayaquil. To measure the impact on psychosocial risks, the following instruments were used: Ad Hoc Sociodemographic and Labor Questionnaire, Maslach's Inventory of Chronic Work Stress, Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (CoPsoQ-III), Psychological capital questionnaire (PCQ), Depression, Anxiety Scales and Stress (DASS - 21), the UCLA Loneliness Scale and the 14-item Resilience Scale (RS-14). The results indicated that both groups of workers were affected by psychosocial risks. It was concluded that there are no significant differences in the psychosocial risks assessed between nationals and foreigners.
