Abstract

Work stress is a global problem that impacts the service personnel of the different social foundations, institutions and organizations, because it alters their physical and mental health, so that their performance is impaired by stressors that generate a low quality in performing their functions. The general objective of the study was to describe the level of work stress in the staff of the Tadeo Torres Foundation in Cuenca and Home for All Foundation in Azogues,

period 2022. Based on the above, a quantitative approach with non-experimental descriptive- transversal scope was used. In the research, 33 workers of the foundations participated, who

were distributed as follows; 18 participants of the Tadeo Torres foundation in Cuenca and 15 participants of the Hogar para Todos foundation in Azogues, who were men and women who work in the areas of care, administration, cleaning and food. Data collection was obtained through a sociodemographic file and the OIT-OMS Labor Stress Questionnaire, in addition, the SPSS program was used for data analysis. As a result, 30 workers had a low level of stress, and the remaining 3 had a medium level. It is worth mentioning that stress prevailed in the area of food and above all that, among the factors most often, there was evidence of the lack of commitment on the part of the supervisor, who being the leader of a work team does not attach greater importance to the responsibilities and commitments within each foundation and with each employee.
