Relationship Between Labor Contracting and Labor Rights of Public Sector Workers, Peru

Abstract

Purpose: To determine the relationship between labor contracting and the labor rights of public sector workers in Peru. Theoretical framework: The theory found allowed us to delve deeper into the topic of hiring and labor rights, but not from theory on employee perception but from specialists in legal matters, which is why in this research it was decided to take into account the perception of public sector employees. Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative study was considered, under an applied type of research, with a descriptive correlational non-experimental design, so the surveys were applied to 25 public sector workers. Results: The findings revealed a bilateral sigma much lower than 0.05, allowing the null hypothesis to be rejected and the alternative hypothesis to be accepted, likewise, it is observed that the Spearman's Rho reached 0.815 between labor contracting and labor rights. In addition, the variables reached 92% in the inadequate level, of the three dimensions, the one that presents the greatest difficulties was subordination because it obtained 92% in the inadequate level, on the other hand, onerosity reached 88% in the inadequate level, followed by exclusivity which obtained 76% in the inadequate level, thus revealing that within the institution there is no internal discipline that allows workers to comply with the provisions of the superiors assigned to each office. Research, practical and social implications: It is shown that when labor contracting is carried out efficiently, considering the legal bases and respecting the established clauses, then the labor rights of workers will be protected and protected, thus revealing that within the institution there is no internal discipline that allows workers to comply with the provisions of the superiors assigned to each office, this result could be argued in the legal basis of Law 29783. Originality/value: The purpose of an employment contract is to outline the rights and responsibilities of both the employer and the employee, as both parties will sign the contract. However, employers will always look for ways to undermine their workers' protections under the law, as current labor laws leave many workers unprotected.
