Abstract

Abstract:Psychosocial risks in workers have increased as a result of the pandemic and teleworking, generating complications in their mental health due to problems of anxiety, depression and stress. Vulnerable populations such as migrant workers are more susceptible to this type of risk and in the face of this it is necessary to use some coping strategies. Therefore, this work was developed with the objective of identifying the main psychosocial risk factors, in workers of a private company, in the Calderon parish of the city of Quito. 40 workers, 20 of Ecuadorian nationality and 20 foreigners, were evaluated through the application of psychological instruments that measured sociodemographic and work characteristics, burnout syndrome, psychosocial risks, psychological capital, mental health, resilience and loneliness. The results obtained showed a predominance of women with 55% in national workers and 70% in foreigners, presenting favorable results in the perception of resilience and dimensions of psychological capital, with adequate levels in mental health.
