Abstract

The present work presents an investigation on the diagnosis of the labor stress using the scale of Demand-Control of Karasek (1979) and the instrument index of personal wellbeing PWI-A (Personal Wellbeing Index-A), in operative and administrative workers of an manufacturing industry in the city of Guayaquil. Its main objective is to identify the relationship between stress and personal well-being of the workers of a manufacturing company and to identify if there are differences between sex, work shifts, stress and quality of life. To reach it, we worked with a sample of 141 workers in the manufacturing industry. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used for the relationship between the rating of the Karasek questionnaire and PWI-A, in the operators within the night shift, it was 0.742 and significant at a value p = 0.001. These results indicate that the level of stress, within the night shift, is a strong correlation between these two measurements.
