Perfiles laborales de los instructores de la secretaria de Deporte de Sogamoso y el Instituto municipal para la educación física, la recreación y el deporte de Paipa

Abstract

This study analyzes the job profiles of sports instructors at the Sogamoso Sports Secretariat and the Paipa Municipal Institute for Physical Education, Recreation, and Sports. The research was conducted using a descriptive cross-sectional approach, employing a structured survey with multiple-choice and open-ended questions. This survey allowed for the characterization of sociodemographic, academic, and contractual variables. The selection criteria established that participants must be over 18 years of age and formally affiliated with the entities under study. The analysis of the results revealed some relevant findings. First, the sample consisted of forty instructors, predominantly male, aged between 29 and 39. In terms of academic background, most had professional qualifications, followed by technological training, and a small percentage had degrees in areas unrelated to the sports sector. In terms of employment status, it was found that all sports instructors were hired on a service provision basis (OPS), with significant variations in contract value, monthly salary, working hours, and weekly workload. These data reflect marked job instability in the sports context, given that this type of contract limits formal employment guarantees. In addition, it was found that, in some cases, remuneration does not correspond to the level of academic training, which may be conditioned by the workload, the assigned role, and the internal policies of each entity.
