PREVALENCIA DE LOS FACTORES DE RIESGOS PSICOSOCIALES EN EL PERSONAL DE BUQUES ATUNEROS DE UNA EMPRESA DE PESCA INDUSTRIAL

Abstract

In Ecuador there is no information about the Psychosocial Risk factors inherent to each job and / or economic activity, until now the control organisms such as the Ministry of Labor and the Ecuadorian Social Security Institute of Ecuador do not have a system of registry that allows for morbidity and / or mortality statistics that allow taking actions related to minimizing the rates of occupational disease due to this risk cause. The objective of this study is to determine the Prevalence of the Psychosocial Risk Factors in the personnel dedicated to the "tuna capture" tasks of the different industrial fishing vessels. The tool that was used for the evaluation and diagnosis process (2019) was "The Questionnaire for the Diagnosis of Psychosocial Risks in Ecuadorian Companies". According to the tabulation for the analysis of the results of the psychosocial risk factors, the dimensions with the highest risk score would be: Work conditions, Double Presence (Labor-Family), Discriminatory Harassment, Action Margin and Control Harassment Labor. The overall result does not show a direct causal relationship between risk factor and metric tons; However, it would be important to study the causal relationship of other variables such as sociodemographic indicators, seniority at work, age, production, number of trips and days on the high seas.
