Mental health in the workplace has gained increasing relevance in occupational health, particularly in manufacturing sectors where working conditions are often demanding and repetitive. This study aimed to evaluate psycho-social risks in an Ecuadorian manufacturing company by identifying critical factors affecting workers’ psychological and emotional well-being, to propose targeted intervention strategies. A quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional design was employed, utilizing the Ecuadorian Ministry of Labor’s questionnaire, which was administered to a sample of 4,754 workers. Associations between sociodemographic variables and risk levels were analyzed. Results indicated that while 73% of workers were at low risk, 25% faced moderate risk, and 2% high risk. The most critical dimensions were recovery, workplace harassment, work-life conflict (double presence), and self-perceived health. The study concludes that vulnerable groups within the company require targeted interventions, which should be integrated into comprehensive occupational health and talent management programs to enhance employee well-being and organizational performance.

摘要

Mental health in the workplace has gained increasing relevance in occupational health, particularly in manufacturing sectors where working conditions are often demanding and repetitive. This study aimed to evaluate psycho-social risks in an Ecuadorian manufacturing company by identifying critical factors affecting workers’ psychological and emotional well-being, to propose targeted intervention strategies. A quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional design was employed, utilizing the Ecuadorian Ministry of Labor’s questionnaire, which was administered to a sample of 4,754 workers. Associations between sociodemographic variables and risk levels were analyzed. Results indicated that while 73% of workers were at low risk, 25% faced moderate risk, and 2% high risk. The most critical dimensions were recovery, workplace harassment, work-life conflict (double presence), and self-perceived health. The study concludes that vulnerable groups within the company require targeted interventions, which should be integrated into comprehensive occupational health and talent management programs to enhance employee well-being and organizational performance.
