La doble presencia en el personal administrativo del Gobierno Autónomo Descentralizado Provincial del Azuay, en Ecuador: un estudio con perspectiva de género. Año 2024

Abstract

The current context presents an accelerated pace of life that complicates the balance between work and family life. This study aimed to analyze the double presence in the administrative staff of the Provincial Decentralized Autonomous Government of Azuay, Ecuador, from a gender perspective in 2024. With a quantitative approach and descriptive design, surveys were applied to 139 officials from various áreas, selected through stratified probabilistic sampling. The “Adapted” Work-Family Interaction Questionnaire was used to collect data on work and family interactions. The findings revealed a high level of security in the positive interaction between family and work, with notable differences between genders in the perception of risk associated with social expectations and family care. Although both genders experience positive interactions, women face greater challenges in balancing their responsibilities. These results suggested the need to implement lines of action that address dual presence and improve working conditions, especially for women, thus promoting a more equitable and healthier environment in the workplace.
