Abstract

Abstract: Introduction: Quality of work life influences the well-being and performance of workers. In Ecuador, among hospital administrative staff, work overload, inadequate conditions, and a lack of data challenge progress in improving the work environment. Objective: To determine the factors associated with quality of work life among administrative staff in public hospitals in the city of Loja. Method: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 93 administrative workers, using the short version of the CVT-GOHISALO questionnaire to assess quality of work life. Results: Women in management positions predominated (63.4%), with low quality of work life observed in both sexes (66.1% in women and 50% in men). Academic level and perceived health were significantly associated with quality of work life, while comorbidities were associated with higher quality of work life. Conclusion: Low quality of life at work (QWL) predominates, influenced by individual, social, and organizational factors, requiring institutional interventions to improve workplace well-being.
