Factores de riesgos psicosociales laborales en trabajadores nacionales y extranjeros en el norte de la ciudad de Quito durante el año 2021

Abstract

Abstract: Psychosocial risk factors are present in the work of every organization. Currently, migration is an essential element for their analysis. Therefore, the objective of this research was to identify the main psychosocial riskfactors in national and foreign workers in the northern sector of Quito, during the year 2021. For this purpose, a non-experimental, cross-sectional, exploratory, descriptive and quantitative study was considered, which collected information from 20 national and 20 foreign workers in a virtual way due to COVID-19. The ad hoc sociodemographic and occupational questionnaire, plus six standardized tests, showed that foreign workers not only experienced less exposure to psychosocial risk factors, but also a better mental state in the execution of their work compared to their local peers. These results should be considered under the limitations of a small sample size, the lack of knowledge of the nationality of the foreign workers and without taking into accountthe context of the global health crisis in which the data were collected.
