El Liderazgo como factor protector en riesgo psicosocial

Abstract

This document proposes an analysis of different investigations, in order to show how leadership influences as a protective factor of psychosocial risk in an organizational culture. An investigation was carried out in indexed databases and web pages to accumulate reports on the results of the application of the psychosocial risk battery in different institutions in the country, evidencing results specifically from the health sector, military forces and academic institutions. On the other hand, the results evidenced in said reports are consolidated in order to recognize the specific information that emerges in the different domains established in the psychosocial battery, since they are necessary inputs to carry out the analysis. The methodology used in this document was framed in a monographic compilation to recognize the bibliography regarding the guiding theme, the information collected was analyzed qualitatively and was limited to the information described in the different reports. After analyzing the domains of leadership and social relationships, job demands, control over work and reward and their respective dimensions, the existing influence of leadership on healthy work environments, motivation and communication was evidenced. Therefore, to enhance leadership as a psychosocial risk protective factor, a toolbox is established with a training plan made up of four (4) modules (Leadership, motivation, communication, and teamwork), to increase the culture of care and SST, generating greater productivity, minimizing absenteeism, and preventing diseases associated with psychosocial risk.
