"Relación entre el ausentismo laboral y la sobrecarga laboral” en un grupo de ingenieros de la ciudad de Cali

Abstract

Absenteeism is a problem present in all organizations that generates economic, productive and welfare affectations of workers. In view of this, this research describes the relationship between absenteeism and labor overload assumed by systems engineers of a technology company, considered active collaborators, therefore, it always attends its job to perform its functions. To describe this relationship, a population of 20 engineers participated independently of the company, because the company because of COVID-19 revoked the interaction with the personnel and use of its data. This research was developed from a positivist paradigm by which the hypothesis of the relationship between absenteeism at work and the labor overload assumed by active collaborators is tested, adopting the quantitative approach of a non-experimental transversal type, where information of a specific time is studied. The collection of information was carried out through a questionnaire consisting of four categories of analyses that measure sociodemographic, labor, workload aspects. Data processing found that there is a strong positive correlation between absenteeism and the labor overload assumed by employees when there are constant absences.It can be concluded then that absenteeism has a direct influence on the workload for the 20 engineers participating in the study, so it is considered important to continue to deepen the relationship between the two variables, for although absenteeism affects the company in general, overloading affects the overall welfare of the worker
