Job performance and psychosocial risks in teaching

Abstract

Psychosocial risk factors have greatly affected the performance of teachers. At the Niños Héroes School in the municipality of Ixhuatlán del Sureste in the state of Veracruz, the work of teachers is seriously affected due to interactions with different actors in the educational community, causing job dissatisfaction, as well as effects on health and in their job performance. Psychosocial risk factors have various repercussions in the psychological and psychophysiological fields, as well as behavioral reactions and work accidents. For this reason, the objective of this research is to diagnose psychosocial risk factors and their impact on the work performance of teachers at the Colegio Niños Héroes de Ixhuatlán del Sureste Veracruz through the application of evaluation instruments. The present study is based on a quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental, and cross-sectional investigation. The instrument is a questionnaire that allows us to realize that workers work in an environment that is harmonious for them, although their activities require constant attention and this leads to making difficult decisions, which cause stress and anxiety, but in very small amounts.
