Mujeres en el trabajo: ambiente laboral en una cadena de supermercados y su influencia en ellas desde un enfoque interseccional

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to identify the work environment and its relationship with work performance in a supermarket company in the city of Cuenca from an intersectionalperspective, since this allows a different approach to the studies previously conducted. For this purpose, a quantitative methodology was used through the application of a survey to the workers of the branches within the city of Cuenca. The scope of the researchis descriptive and correlational, and it is a non-experimental research. Descriptivestatistical analysis techniques (frequency and contingency tables) and inferential statistics (relational analysis) were applied. Regarding the conclusions, the data obtained in the study allow corroborating the startinghypothesis that in women there is a greater relationship between the work environment and work performance within the company, a higher percentage in relation to men, this has been made visible thanks to the intersectional approach of the study since it allows disaggregating the information by different variables such as sex. It has also demonstrated the importance of implementing policies with a gender approach because it allows us to eliminate latent gaps that are caused by generalizing the needs of employees.
